Speaker 2: Yes.

34
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: How are things on the farm right now?

35
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 2: Good? First year. I'm having a nursery, so I'm kind

36
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: of figuring it out. But my goodness, the plants are

37
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: growing so fast. If anything, the problem is that they're

38
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: just shooting up, and you know, I need to be

39
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: stepping things up.

40
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: And that's the best kind of problem.

41
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: It is the best kind of problem.

42
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: You're running the nursery, yes, yeah, yeah, well that is

43
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: very cool. And you're a beekeeper. How are the bees?

44
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: The bees are are vibrant, I mean they are.

45
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: Just this is your first year for the bees too.

46
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: Well, it's my first year on this property in Cincinnati

47
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: with the bees. I had a beekeeping mentor gosh, maybe

48
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: twenty years ago. Oh, my gosh, it has been twenty

49
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 2: years ago. Yeah. So I learned beekeeping twenty years ago

50
00:02:53,800 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 2: in Arkansas on an organic farm and then and I

51
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: applied to the Peace Corps and they asked me a

52
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 2: bunch of questions, like, hey, have you done all of

53
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: these things? Bee keeping with one of them. So that

54
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: sealed my fate. And I did be keeping in South America,

55
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: but be keeping in Cincinnati is new to me.

56
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, and from my understanding, the first year is

57
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: kind of a critical year for Yeah.

58
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 2: So this hive, it didn't have any existing comb that

59
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: I could give it from another hive, So they're building

60
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: from scratch, and you know, I was feeding them and

61
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: I don't know how much I'm going to get as

62
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: far as harvest goes, That's not really my concern. I'm

63
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: just really happy to have bees again.

64
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, very cool. You're also a hiker, you like

65
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: checking out the plants in our native areas. Yeah, and

66
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: you're a mom I am, And you're a really good friend,

67
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: and probably more. There's probably more to you. I don't

68
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: even know.

69
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: I Yeah, you know, there's a couple other things I've

70
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: done in my life.

71
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: Any that you want to admit. Yeah, So we're going

72
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: to talk to Nancy Lawson later on. She's the Humane gardener.

73
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: She has a great website.

74
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I was checking that out Yeah, and.

75
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: You know, the fireflies right now are just spectacular.

76
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: Yes, I can't wait to talk about the fireflies in

77
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: my yard. Yeah, it's been fantastic this year.

78
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: She wrote an article I just read in the current

79
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: issue of American Gardener magazine, which is put out by

80
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: the American Horticulture Society Good Public. Yeah, and it was

81
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: all about fireflies and I found it fascinating, just really exciting.

82
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: And you know, I'll probably bring this up later on too,

83
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: But growing up, fireflies were just a given, you know, And.

84
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: Then I have a lot of people tell me that. Yeah.

85
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: And then for a while they disappeared, and I think

86
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: there were cold winners and maybe more things involved. I

87
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: don't know, but they were all but gone. And now

88
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: they've made a really nice comeback, which is really exciting

89
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: and just delightful.

90
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: And I would be curious to hear what Joe Boggs

91
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 2: has to say about that.

92
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: I would like to talk to him and Nancay.

93
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: Give us a call, Joe if you're listening.

94
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Nancy probably could propine on that as well. Absolutely,

95
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: But her article was about how we can garden to

96
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: encourage or foster firefly So yes, can't get any better

97
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: than that, right right. We're also going to talk about

98
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: a lot of cool stuff today. Of course, we're going

102
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:41,440

00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: We'll tie that back to gardening.

106
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: Mosquito doomsday bucket. I think that most people call it

107
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: the mosquito doom button.

108
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 2: I've heard mosquito doom bucket, but stay it kind of

109
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: takes it to the.

110
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: Next level, I think.

111
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 2: So it takes it to the level I want it

112
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 2: to be at me too.

00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'll take credit for that, Okay, you should

118
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: three eight two five five.

119
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 2: Probably better if it's a plant or garden related but.

120
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, yeah, ever, and Danny's going to start

123
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: today's show. I've got a list of favorite plants right

124
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: now that I am excited about.

125
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 2: Yeah.

126
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: It's actually a lot of people say this is a

127
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: lag time of year. You know, we're kind of like

128
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,799
Speaker 1: going between spring and into some like we're just creeping

129
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: into summer. Yeah, but you know what.

130
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 2: I think, we're kind of we're at the tail end

131
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 2: of the lag I think. So, Yeah, there is a

132
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: lag time in our region, but.

133
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: There are ways around it. There are plenty of things

134
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: you can grow that.

135
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to be intentional, though, you.

136
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: Do have to be intentional. Summer makes it easy. And

137
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: we're just about to launch into all Yeah, and that's fun.

138
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: But again, what happens everybody buys their plants on Mother's

139
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: Day weekend, and way too many gardeners don't even have

140
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: good summer bloom in their gardens. And that needs to

141
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: be fixed. That's our mission.

142
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: You can you do that this morning?

334
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: think it's French. I realized that every show I'm saying

Speaker 1: National Days of So you get through the well, be patient,

385
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: all right right, it's tattoo.

386
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 3: Day, okay, lot one maybe I just you know, it's

387
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 3: like time and money, yeah, and forethought and pain.

388
00:22:55,080 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: The pain doesn't scare me, not really. No, it's also

389
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: a lottery day in Peach ice Cream Day. But it

390
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: is also wrong Way Corrigan Day. Have you ever heard

391
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: of this before?

392
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 2: Or wait, say that again, wrong.

393
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: Way Coreragan Day. No, it honors it commemorates the transatlantic

394
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 1: flight of American stunt pilot Douglas Corrigan. Now this story

395
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: is great, and I have to admire this guy's humspah

396
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: if that's the right where, if the way I pronounced

397
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: that right, hutzpah hutsapa. Yeah. So, in nineteen thirty eight,

398
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: Douglas Corgan flew from his home in California to New York.

399
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 2: Okay.

400
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: Now, when he arrived in New York, he asked for

401
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: permission to duplicate Lindbergh's trip across the Atlantic. Okay, he

402
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: was told no. So with only a magnetic compass, he

403
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: advised officials he was returning to California.

404
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 2: Like a like a boy scout holding your hand kind of.

405
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: Yeah wow, yeah, magnetic compass. According to the story, his story,

406
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:11,479
Speaker 1: after takeoff clouds prevented him from accurate navigation, because clouds,

407
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, interfere with a magnetic compass in the worst

408
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: possible way.

409
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that can really throw off an experienced pilot.

410
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: And it did so. When he dropped below the clouds

411
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: hours later, he saw nothing but water. And of course,

412
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: when you see nothing but water, what do you do?

413
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: You continue flying in the same direction you're in until

414
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: he landed in Ireland twenty eight hours later. Now, despite

415
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: accusations that he secretly planned this flight, he held fast

416
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: to his original explanation for the rest of his life.

417
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: Suddenly famous for his and he's a cor agan, he

418
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 1: lands in i for his shenanigans, he received a movie

419
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 1: deal and played himself in the the movie, which is

420
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: called The Flying Irishman. During World War Two, he tested bombers.

421
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: After the war, he was a stunt pilot and Notori

422
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: died down. He settled into a quiet life with his family,

423
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: and whenever a reporter would eventually find him and ask

424
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: about his flight, he stuck to his story. God bless

425
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: a man character. If you got a story, just stick

426
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: to it, stick to it, yea. Now, also July seventeenth

427
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: is yellow Pig day. Now, I'll talk about messing up

428
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 1: a title again. It has nothing to do with yellow pigs.

429
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: Ok It is a meaningless name named for the mascot

430
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: that was adopted for the day, which is a day

431
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: all about the number seventeen. I'm so lost, me too,

432
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: and I've read all this. So two mathematicians came up

433
00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: with yellow Pig Day honoring the number seventeen. And why? Okay,

434
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: they have one valid reason maybe for the day. It's

435
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: because it's a what do they call this? A previous

436
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: a prime number, a prime prime number, a premium number,

437
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: which is a prime number. It's if you add two

438
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: the other previous prime numbers two, three, five, and seven,

439
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: ego seventeen. Oh okay, kind of interesting there. This is

440
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: where it gets stupid. Now, the other reasons they choose

441
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: to commemorate the number seventeen. The average school bus weighs

442
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: seventeen tons. That seems extremely RYTHM.

443
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 2: Do we need to really shed light on that?

444
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: Apparently they thought so. Also, there's several words with seventeen

445
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: letters that have nothing to do with each other or

446
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: even math, innerdisciplinary, telecommunication, misinterpretation, commercialization, electro photometer. What they're

447
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: just making they're just making stuff up. It gets worse.

448
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: The atomic number of chlorina seventeen. Well something had to have.

449
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 2: That, yeah, yeah, something.

450
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, Pebble Beach has a seventeen mile drive.

451
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 2: I was seventeen years old once.

452
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: I was too. Yeah, we should honor that lay out

453
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: because of that. But okay, so Pebble Beach has the

454
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: seventeen mile drive, but it doesn't. It's not quite seventeen miles.

455
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: It's sixteen point seven eight. The seventh eighteenth Amendment is

456
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: the right to elect senators by poppa ar vote. I'm

457
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: all for that. But again, there's a sixteenth Amendment and

458
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: there's an eighteenth Amendment, so there had to be a seventeenth.

459
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 2: I really questioned the vetting process for these Yeah.

460
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: I think they just these are two guys that just

461
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: needed attention.

462
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 2: So yeah, if this can get through, if all the

463
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 2: baked goods can get through, you know, I think I

464
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 2: think we need to take advantage of this and make

465
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 2: a garden cabal and have you know national.

466

00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: the other plants we can think of.

00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,640

Speaker 2: on the market.

476
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 1: We'll work on it.

477
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

478
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 1: So here's how they suggest celebrating National Yellow Pig Day.

Speaker 1: Do seventeen jumping checks, order around of seventeen drinks.

480
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:29,600

Speaker 1: you guys. The eighteenth is going to kick your butt.

Speaker 1: Seventeen spoonfuls of peach ice cream if you're Joey Chestnut.

485
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: Seventeen lottery tickets another way to fit just waste your money.

Speaker 1: Seventeen tattoos like you know, and study seventeen year cicadas.

487
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: Why I am friends with Joe Boggs, so I don't

488
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: have to do that. Yeah.

489
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 2: That was actually the only one on the list that

490
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 2: I liked. Yeah, yeah, I was seventeen years old, like

491
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 2: I could celebrate it that way.

492
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's Friday, so okay, you have a

493
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: chance to prepare. All right, all right, let's talk about

494
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: plants finally, how about that. All right, we'll start out

495
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: with our favorite plants right now. This is a tradition.

496
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: By the way, this is the twentieth show. Can you

497
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: believe it? Almost six months of doing the show now, which, yeah,

498
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: I thought, you know they're going to cancel me.

499
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 2: You thought they would have kicked you out by night.

500
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: Now, Yeah, so I don't Yeah, I don't know what

501
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: to think about that. But anyway, well you kick us

502
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: off with one of your favorite plants right now.

503
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 2: So the first one on my list is sweet alyssum.

504
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: Oh you know, it's kind of out of the blue.

505
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's it's an old plant. It's kind

506
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 2: of a cottage gardening low groundcover, white blooming plant. But

507
00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 2: I started using it in my vegetable gardens, I don't know,

508
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 2: fifteen years ago, and I love it for that use.

509
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 2: I plant it in front of my tomatoes and peppers

510
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 2: and everything, and it just covers the ground like a

511
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 2: living mulch. Now, this year, I always started from seed.

512
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 2: I just I literally go to the drug store or

513
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 2: to Walmart or whatever, and those big seed racks, just

514
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 2: the generic carpet of snow and Royal Royal Purple or

515
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 2: Royal New Fee.

516
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 5: No.

517
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 2: No, these are old varieties, cheap varieties, and I have

518
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 2: ordered fancy sweet alyssms, but you know, I haven't seen

519
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 2: much of a difference, honestly, because the old ones are

520
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 2: so good and they are so dense that they keep

521
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 2: the weeds out. And when I planted them this spring,

522
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 2: the sea tray I was growing and was just terrible.

523
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 2: The roots were terrible, you know, like they looked like

524
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 2: they would be dead before I got back into the house.

525
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you told me about this. It was very shallow.

526
00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So I threw away that sea tray. But

527
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 2: the plants I could not believe it. They just took off.

528
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 2: They it's like it's like they were vigorously rooted and

529
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 2: they are covering the ground now pretty much from you know,

530
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 2: the two foot wide strip between my tomatoes in the path.

531
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 2: And the other thing they do is they attract hoverflies,

532
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 2: which is a beneficial Uh yeah, it's a it's a

533
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 2: nurse crop for hoverflies and they use them in vegetable

534
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 2: production to to get commercial pasts off of lettuce. But yeah,

535
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 2: it helps in your garden.

536
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: Hoverflies prey on.

537
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, things you want them to pray on.

538
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, how cool is that?

539
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 2: So I love that plant.

540
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: Well that's an annual and I've got a couple of

541
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: annuals listed to h could get me in trouble. But

542
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: opium poppies, yeah, they're beautiful plant. Pop pever somnifera. Just

543
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: a beautiful plant. Yeah. It's one of those annuals that

544
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: plant in the cold weather. You just throw the seeds

545
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: out there, yeah, and it comes up. It's got very

546
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: distinctive foldiage, which is beautiful. It's sort of a very

547
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: blue and kind of a tall, skinny plant. And then

548
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:16,479
Speaker 1: these amazing flowers. Yeah, that attract tons of pollinators. And

549
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: then the really cool little poppy head which as where

550
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: they get opium from.

551
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 2: Well, the opium poppy is the same as the bread

552
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 2: seed poppy, it is. Yeah.

553
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, it has like two sides to it, yes,

554
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: and then it goes like just it falls apart. Yeah,

555
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: so you you just what I have.

556
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 2: Always plant falls apart. But the spent seedhead is very cool.

557
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. But what I usually do is just wait until

558
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: that rattles and I know there's dry seeds inside and

559
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: I'll sew them and knock them the plant at that point.

560
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: But I kind of did a deep dive on this,

561
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: and it's like I wanted to find out how many

562
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: poppies it takes to get you know, opium, you know,

563
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: like a I could not find that on the internet apparently.

564
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 2: Locked down. That's probably for the best.

565
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 5: Yeah.

566
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: So it's really hazy too of whether it's legal or

567
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: not to plant this because it is a schedule whatever drug,

568
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: but it's also a food. Well it's also.

569
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 2: I'm not a lawyer, let me just say that, but

570
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 2: from what I understand, horticultural purposes are covered. It's when

571
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 2: you start trying to harvest and process.

572
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly right. That's the consensus I came up

573
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: with by reading through. But yeah, interesting plant. You know,

574
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:42,719
Speaker 1: it can be abused terribly, but the painkilling capacity has

575
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: been throughout human history.

576
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 2: Rights, it's a lot of good medical things derived from it.

577
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: I also wanted to mention annual wise sweet potatoes. Yeah,

578
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: but you know what, it's already the uh at break time.

579
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: So we'll take a break and we'll come back and

Speaker 1: My column well, most of them are on there. Some

609
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 1: of them are actually pretty good. Not all of them,

610
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: not all of them, but some of them. Some of

611
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 1: them a lot of averages. Yeah, you get monkeys typing

612
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: in a room and eventually they type Shakespeare. So when

613
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,479
Speaker 1: we left off, we're talking about our favorite plants right now,

614
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: and I had brought up sweet potatoes, the sweet potatovine.

615
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: That is every garden center very ornamental, annual, or at

616
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: least most people treat them that way, with lots of foliage,

617
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: lots of colors and stuff. So here's the history on

618
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,760
Speaker 1: sweet potatoes. I did a little dive. So as first

619
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: as a food crop by the Incas in the Andes

620
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: in the thirteenth century. The Spaniards or Spanish took it

621
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: to Europe in the fifteenth century. But since it's a

622
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: night shade plant, of which many are poisonous, no one

623
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: would dare.

624
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 2: Eat the tubers, like with tomatoes.

625
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: Just like with tomatoes, but sweet potatoes have a big,

626
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: beautiful purple flower, and that became a trendy fashion accessory.

627
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 2: Interesting, so they looked great, but they were hungry.

628
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's part of the story anyway, Like nobles

629
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,959
Speaker 1: would wear these flowers on their dresses, like Marie Antoinette,

630
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: probably right up until the very bitter end. So eventually

631
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: in the seventeen hundreds there were some famines in Europe

632
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: and finally people were forced to eat the sweet potatoes

633
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: and they liked it. It became a common crop like

634
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: we know it now. Now, fast forward to the nineteen nineties.

635
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:10,760
Speaker 1: Breeders at North Carolina State University. Yeah, big ag school,

636
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: big horticulture school. We're developing new types of sweet potatoes

637
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: for the food and as they were doing so, they

638
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 1: kept coming up with some pretty interesting looking plants with

639
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: different colors, different leaf morphologies. Yes, so they handed these

640
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 1: over to the hort department saying, hey, guys, these are

641
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: kind of cool, interesting, do you want to do anything

642
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: with them?

643
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 2: So, there weren't ornamental sweet potatoes before the nineties.

644
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: They might have been ornamental, but nobody thought of them

645
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: that way. Okay, and so now the hort team had

646
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 1: sweet potatoes and started working with them. And the first

647
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: ornamental sweet potato made it into the market in somewhere

648
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: in the nineteen nineties. It was called Blackie. It had

649
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: very dark folio. Yeah, and I think that one's still

650
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: out there.

651
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 2: I think so. Yeah.

652
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: Then in the two thousands, Proven Winners came out with

653
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: the Sweet hair Line series, of which there are numerous colors.

654
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: Now there's chartruse, there's red, purple, black, there's different shapes,

655
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: like kind of bat wing shapes, very cut leaf form.

656
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,399
Speaker 2: When they got the dissected leaf and.

657
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean yeah, that all came about. So then

658
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: fast forward into the twenty twenties. I don't know whose

659
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: series this is, but there's a Treasure Island series which

660
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: combines beautiful foliage the pretty flowers, which aren't very prominent,

661
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: if at all, on any of the ornamental foliage types. Right,

662
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: so it combines colorful foliage, pretty flowers, and a tasty tuber.

663
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 2: I would love to see this.

664
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: I want to see this in the worst possible way.

665
00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: So we've come full circle or to the inevitable conclusion

666
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: at least from the thirteenth century to twenty the twenty twenties.

667
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:10,439
Speaker 2: Interesting, isn't that great? So I fund sweet potato fact

668
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 2: that I know. Yeah, they originated in South America, right, Yes,

669
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 2: they are also grown in Polynesia and they have been

670
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 2: for a long, long, long long time. So they did

671
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 2: some genetic studies because you can tell when you do

672
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 2: the genetic sequencing, like how far back a ligne diverged.

673
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 2: And there was this there was this debate like did

674
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 2: sweet potato vines float from Peru to Easter Island or

675
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 2: did humans actually cross Easter Island all the way to Peru?

676
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 2: And it's it's not conclusive. They could have floated, but

677
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 2: like human DNA, they found like South American DNA and

678
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 2: Polynesian population around the same time that the sweet potatoes diverged.

679
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,240
Speaker 2: So they think that there is a human connection, which

680
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 2: means that that the Polynesians probably crossed that in their

681
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 2: double hold canoes, you know, like, yeah, have you seen Mijana. No,

682
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 2: so probably a lot of people have seen ma Wana.

683
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,439
Speaker 2: But those big gigantic boats, like that's what they would

684
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 2: have crossed.

685
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:21,800
Speaker 1: Maybe I did.

686
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 2: Over two thousand miles of ocean. Yeah, and the fact

687
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 2: that they had sweet potatoes is really strong evidence that

688
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 2: they might have made.

689
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: You know, when this happened.

690
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,240
Speaker 2: I want to say it was like twelve hundred, twelve hundred.

691
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 2: It was ad It wasn't you know, like millions of

692
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,280
Speaker 2: years ago or anything, but it was before Columbus.

693
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, so fantastic. Yeah, there's so much interesting stuff still

694
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: left to learn or find out about. What's your next plant?

695
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 2: Let's see, I put hibiscus on there.

696
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: I had had that online too.

697
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, the big dinner plate hibiscus and the rows of

698
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 2: sharing's are blooming around here. Now. I will say, Hibiscus

699
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 2: is not a plant that I tend to use a lot,

700
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 2: just because it's so bold, you know, but in the

701
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 2: right spot it can be fantastic. And I saw I

702
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 2: saw what's the dark leaf, fly Girl? Holy Girl? I

703
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 2: saw holy Girl this week, And you know, like it

704
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 2: can it can get kind of muddy. It just depends

705
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 2: on what you put around it to make it look good. Yeah.

706
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: So it's one of those plants. You know, originally I

707
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: was kind of snobbish about because it's so bright, so big.

708
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: It's kind of garish. Yeah, but I have really come

709
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: to appreciate it. There's also some that are more natural

710
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: and fit a little easier and knowing natural right, right.

711
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: But you know the thing about it is it's a

712
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 1: crowd pleaser and kids absolutely love it.

713
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 2: Yes, and sometimes a big old focal point. But you know,

714
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 2: I would soften it with a grass, like a limy

715
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 2: carracks or something, you know, just not don't put it

716
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 2: against a brick wall, because you'll just lose the whole thing.

717
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we'll be back in just a little bit.

718
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 1: You're listening to That's Guard with Scott Berlin. Will continue

719
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 1: with more favorite plants right now.
