Let's get right back to our favorite plants. 0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:25.399 Jim or I was going to bring up something here, 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:29.360 let me get it back here. We were talking about 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:33.120 your your last plant, which you saw at the peted 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:37.200 out off Udolph Garden in Detroit, and three of my 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.800 plants came from that that visit as well. One is 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:45.039 an old one never I don't think popular, but such 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:50.600 a good, cool plant, Econops ritro. I think it's oh, 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:54.080 I love that, yeah, glow, yeah, great plant. And it's 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.840 not a thistle. It's an economics but it has this 0:01:57.080 --> 0:02:02.040 round of flower head, pretty blue flowers, and you grow 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:02.800 a cultivar. 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.840 I've grown platinum blue and this year I'm also growing 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:10.960 a white one, maybe Arctic snow or Arctic white. I 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:14.880 got them seeds from Gilido and man, you talk about 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.520 an easy seed to start. It germinates in just two 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:22.200 days or something. It grows easily in a plug tray 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.959 or in a pot. It was just bulletproof and the 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:31.560 landscape for the most partators came back after the first 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:36.720 winter with extended snowpack, and I mean it just has 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:41.200 performed like a champ. And it's that really pure blue 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.600 color that is difficult to get and the shape of 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.480 the flower. They're like these little lollipops that kind of 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:51.040 stick up out over everything and it blends well with 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:52.560 a lot of things. 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:57.200 It's an easy grower and the foliage kind of has 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:58.679 a little bit of a blue cast to it, a 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:03.200 little bit of a silvery and a little it's not spiny, 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:04.079 but it kay of looks a little. 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:04.680 Yeah. 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:08.920 The they call it globe thistle because the leaves do 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.400 look a bit like a thistle, which is not selling it. 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:14.880 And it is a courser look. It's not a super. 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.239 Tidy great to mix with finer it is. 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.080 It is great to mix. I made the mistake. I 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.600 put it kind of as a block planting, and I 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.600 wouldn't have I wouldn't do that again if I was 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:29.440 redesigning that, I would have put something finer textured kind 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.000 of in between and used it a bit more sparingly. 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:38.640 Gotcha. Also from the Udolph Garden Detroit, I saw again 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.240 in a favorite from a long time, for a long time, 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:46.280 Stokesia Peache's Peache's pick, I think is the cultivar and 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.760 it's it's sort of a bad name because it's not 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:54.839 peachy but more a solid blue. But the woman who 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.760 discovered the plant was named peachy. Oh okay, and that's 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.560 why the head fake on the color. Got it. And 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:03.480 then the last one was an alium that I hadn't 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:10.200 seen before Alium carrulatam pulchellum, which apparently is pretty fairly 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:14.280 available as a ball in the marketplace. It's called blue 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:19.800 globe onion and it's about the height of millennium less 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:25.279 and knee high. And the normally with an alium you 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:29.919 get that round flower head. This has I think it 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.240 starts with sort of a round, little fireworky kind of 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:39.200 upward little and then the little filaments or whatever holds 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.480 they all sort of start to droop, so you get 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:45.919 a really beautiful cascading look to the flower. And the 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:47.840 word on the street was it seeds around a little bit, 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.239 but not too bad in the way that you would 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.360 like it too in a naturalistic garden. So that was 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:57.839 those were my three standouts from the visit. That and 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:01.120 just a reminder, you know, it's so so educational and 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:05.240 inspirational to go to these gardens that these public gardens 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.839 can go and check out the plants, see what they do. 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.920 And you know, Pete out of and is certainly one 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:14.000 of the best at having a wide palette of plants, definitely, 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:17.040 and by going to look at his gardens and there's 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.039 a high line in the lurry and a few others 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:24.680 in the country. Uh, you can learn so many more 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:29.080 plants that that you that are fascinating plants. Yeah, Jim, 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.760 what do you have next? 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:33.839 I got a kind of cool plant given to me 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:38.400 a few weeks ago by our friend Ben Necessary. Oh yeah, yeah, 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:44.520 Cali Canthus Burgundy spice yes red foliage Cali Canthus. It's 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.000 really really cool. When the new foliage comes out, it's 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.159 kind of like a greenish burgundy with like silvery feel, 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.880 and then as the leaves age they get really dark burgundy. 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.080 The first year in the garden, see what it does. 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:58.640 He asked me to try it form and report back 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:02.200 on how it performs, and so far it's it's really 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:02.880 really cool. 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:08.120 Yeah. That came out about at least five years ago, 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.840 and I haven't really gotten in the trade too much yet, 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.919 but once it does, I mean it's I think it's 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:22.000 a hybrid like aphrodite is I think so heartlage wine, 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.880 which means I have a really good vigor probably, I 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.159 hope so size. So far it's held up. 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:28.960 I've only had it in the ground for maybe six 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.120 or eight weeks, but it looks good. It's not a 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:31.720 water hog. 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:37.440 That's when I can never remember the common spicewu sweet trub. 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:41.479 And the flowers are very primitive looking. They're kind of 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.200 magnolia like, yes, and I think it did flower. 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.480 The flowers get lost in the foliage though, okay on 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.400 this one, just because the flower color is kind of 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.440 in the same color family as the foliage. But I'm 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.039 growing up for a folish play. I've got it planted 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:56.160 right next to a U. I know I shouldn't like us, 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.000 but I love us. I've got one called Wan Tong gold. 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:03.760 It's a gold leaf you. And I've got that next 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.040 to that gold leaf you. And it's really nice. So 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.040 what I'm doing now is I'm trying to work in 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:11.400 some purple dark foliage plants throughout my garden. So I 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.240 have that sort of a theme that runs throughout. 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.640 I like that. Yeah, very cool. Yeah, and you, by 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.840 the way, you have a stunning garden. A little later on, 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.160 hopefully we'll have time to talk about that. And it's 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.800 a small garden, which is you know, I have a 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:28.680 bigger garden and I have small garden envy. Yeah, I understand. 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:31.239 You can make it so perfect. 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.320 I used to have big garden ivy, but yeah, I 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:35.840 tend a pretty big garden to Anderson, and it's like 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:37.960 as you get older, it's like, I think the small 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:38.960 garden sounds pretty good. 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:40.960 Yeah, you're some pros to a small garden. 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.720 You have to be more disciplined. You can't keep adding plants. 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.520 I can't. But the plants you can put in can 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:48.840 be the very best, and you can play with it 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.720 make it perfect. Ye, Sarah, do you have another plant? 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:53.040 I do. 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:58.360 Stacis white whisper was at Walters. I missed that and 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.200 so it wasn't even in flower. It was past flower, 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:06.880 but the seed heads had a greenish sort of cast 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:11.840 and the texture was wonderful, So the flowering would be 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:15.320 a bonus. And it's a white flowering stackus. It looks 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:19.640 like a hamelo, which is a purple flowering variety that's 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:21.040 pretty widely available. 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:25.320 Scuses s T. A. C. H. Y s. 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:25.920 Yeah. 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.880 And the one you would know in the garden centers 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:30.760 is lambs. 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:34.760 Laser Lambser, but this doesn't really like a Lambsier, even 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:35.760 though it's in the same Geese. 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.640 They may know the common name for that one. I don't. 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.160 Yeah, Betany, thank you, yeah, thank you. So this is 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:46.400 a white betany and the seed the seedheads are what caught. 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:50.480 My eye, which is a typical really yeahl does. 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.400 Not have seedheads that are going to turn. You know, 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:56.760 they're not offensive, they're fine, but I wouldn't call them ornamental. 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.320 And this one was really nice. And and Betany is 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.319 kind of a nice tidy plant that the seedheads and 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:07.480 the flowers are extremely upright. So there's just really good 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:12.120 texture going on. And in the display beds at Walter's Gardens, 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.640 they had it next to a Ucomia purple rain, just 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:20.480 big bold foliage that really set up off those seed 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:24.480 heads because you had the contrasting backdrop so they almost glowed. 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:30.360 And behind that they had pardon me, big bluestem Niagara Falls, 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.640 and those three plants together there was just such a 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:35.119 nice composition. 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.559 There were a lot of nice composition, so many, so 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:43.640 many ball and there were a couple of private gardens 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.320 we went to that were just amazing as well. Nice. 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:48.600 One of my favorite plants in the whole wide world 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:54.480 is an annual grass Melinis Nerva gloomis ruby grass. I 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:58.360 think they just ruby grass and it has this beautifully 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:03.480 fine textured foliage with a bluish cast, and you know, 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.880 it's not the most floriferous annual. It comes in a 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:12.480 little later, but the flowers, the grass flowers just come 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:17.280 in a rich ruby color and gradually fade out to pink. 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.000 But as they do so, they also changed texture from 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:26.520 more of a very fine but defined flower and then 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:30.199 suddenly it just fluffs out and it's so so good. 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.880 And when I saw that Ball had a white version, 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:38.160 first I had an a version because why would you 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:42.720 want a white But then you know, you start looking 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:46.199 at it closer, and the white flowers were good on 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.160 their own. They were really nice. They had that soft, 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.559 fluffy texture that later in the season. But they had 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:56.640 it planted with verbina dot bone Aiance is the tall verbena, 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:01.640 and what a combination that was. It was stunny, breathtaking. 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.800 It was one of my favorite plants at Ball yesterday. 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.120 The grass was stunning. I saw it from across the 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:09.839 field and was like, oh my god, what is it 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:10.960 over there? 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:11.720 Wow? 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:16.080 Yeah, and works really well in naturalistic compositions, even though 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.600 it is an annual. They had this bed that was 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.360 it really really looked like one of those pollinator gardens, 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.520 just dreamy and the textures and the flows and the colors, 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:31.280 but it was with all Was it all annuals? I 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:32.559 think it was all annuals. 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.560 Yeah, well back in the back of the bed, I 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.240 think they had some other things, but right where it 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.120 was was all annuals. 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:40.720 Yeah. 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:41.920 It was a great combination. 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.959 Yeah, and with pretty traditional landscape plants. They had a 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:49.760 yellow toned marrigold, there was a seed variety verbina. I 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:51.480 forget what else they had in that bed, but. 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.679 Another grass of some kind of darker grass. 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.880 And then they had that upatorium elegant feather, which was 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:02.679 new to me, and ubitorium. 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.440 Let's say that one. We'll come back and we'll talk 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.760 about that because it was an exceptional plant that's worth 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.680 talking about.

It's very good for you guys 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.880 supposed to be here. Thank you for being here. Thank you, Scott. Yeah, 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:21.720 my pleasure, A lot of fun, a lot of fun. 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.640 Our number is eight hundred and eighty two three eight 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:26.640 two five five. Give us a cough. You want to 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:30.560 talk plants or ask questions, We've we can. We've got 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:32.880 some talent here. We can probably answer whatever question you 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.080 throw our away. I'm not going to promise but we'll 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.720 give it our best shot, and we'll tell you when 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.600 we don't know absolutely. That's you know, the whole point 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:44.320 here is to give out good, good information, get people 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.400 excited about plants and gardens, and get out there and 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:50.680 doing it. So we were just going to wrap up 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:52.920 with our favorite plants right now with the upitorium you 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:53.880 brought up and you've. 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:57.520 Been yeah, yeah, I was looking it up and I 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:00.520 was surprised to find that it's native. Well, I was 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.240 most surprised to find that it's a upatorium. It looks 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:06.360 nothing like a joe pie weed or you know, bone 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:10.000 set or anything like that. It looks like a tamarisk. 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:14.160 It has this very feathery kind of foliage and it's 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.000 very upright. We saw it in containers, we saw it 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:20.600 in the landscape. It just looks stunning everywhere you put it. 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.200 As a designer, I'm always looking for that height element 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.760 to contrast with what's going on below. And it catches 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:31.160 the wind like a grass. I don't know what kind 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:35.120 of flower it makes, if any, but it doesn't need 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:38.200 to because it has that incredible texture. 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.800 And I'm just going to add a look that nothing 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:42.520 else has as far as I know. 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.160 Right right, it was very new and oh I want to. 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:49.720 Use this, Yeah, I want to. I think it's actually. 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:55.680 It's hardy six through nine. And the common name for 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:59.480 the species is dog fennel. And apparently it's a it 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:02.520 can be kind of weedy. It's it's native, but it's 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:06.240 a it's a whaedy native. But this, this cultivar was 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:10.520 bred to be sterile, and so you know, I feel 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:15.040 better about that in a garden, even native plants, if 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:18.960 they're extremely weedy, I don't necessarily gardening hard put exactly. 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:21.159 You can do it, but you're creating a lot of 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:24.639 work for yourself. So ye, so I'll look forward to 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:25.359 growing that one. 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.600 Okay, So this isn't really a plant a favorite plant 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:31.200 right now. It's probably a favorite plant for the future. 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:35.960 But it was a cultivate last week actually, which is 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:38.679 a big trade show for the green industry and a 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:42.520 lot of new plant introductions go on. And Terra Nova, 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:46.640 which has put out a bunch of Achinaesia and especially 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:50.840 coral bells over the years, so maybe the most important 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:56.080 introducer of all the colorful coral bells, has a new line. 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:59.920 And this is absolutely amazing. It's it's very very different. 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:05.360 It's called uh shoot, what was it? Firewing, fire Wing, 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:10.680 f y R E wing series of coral bells and 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:14.040 uh it yeah, it just you look at it and 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.639 you go, is that a corobell? Oh? Yeah, it is 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:19.760 a corbel. Its recognizable as a coral bell, but the 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:22.800 leaf is completely different. It looks like a filigree, like 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:25.240 a really fine Japanese mate. 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:28.200 If you didn't know that they were doing this line, 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:31.240 you could mistake it for not a coral bell, but 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:33.439 it would confuse you. You know, it has all the 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:37.080 good things about the coral bells, but a totally different shape, 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:40.359 a totally different texture. Kind of the way the leaves overlap. 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:44.919 You guess the roughly and you know it's dissected. Some 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:46.520 of the coral bells. Do you have a ruffle on 0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:48.919 the edge, but they're pretty much you know that that 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:54.080 circular shape and this is a feathery they they're marketing 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:57.360 as these look like little dragon wings, and they really do. 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:01.680 I'm looking at a pr or press release here from 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:06.080 Terra Nova and they put this out for the Cultivate Show. 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:10.760 They described it as featuring deeply cut dragon inspired foliage 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:15.320 and seven gemstone themed colors. The collection is the result 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:19.080 of five years of intensive breeding and already being rolled 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:24.200 out to tissue culture laboratories worldwide. And I'm being told 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:29.080 that they're selling everything they can produce, so now now, yeah, 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:34.080 And they said it started with an unexpected discovery rather 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:37.240 than a planned breeding objective about five years ago, found 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:40.440 a mutation. Listen to what they had to do. It 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:44.199 was a no viable pollen from the flower or a 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:48.440 functioning ovary. So they made it tetraploid. This is getting 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:53.560 very technical. And then worked with embryos. You see embryos 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:56.399 in everything. They get this out through the market or 0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:59.400 through the process, and in five years they went from 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:03.000 that one FI to a series of what was it 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:06.800 eight eight different plants, seven different plants. And you got 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:09.119 to look at these online. Look at fire wing Hyukra. 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:13.520 They're really different, really cool And why are e f 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:16.320 y are you? And it may not who knows how 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:18.840 good it grows in the ground. We'll find out.

But personally, 0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:26.080 if I can avoid that in my own garden, I 0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:29.320 will just getting out and weeding, you know, getting those 0:23:29.359 --> 0:23:33.560 weeds pulled before they flower. So that's the biggest thing, 0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:36.720 is understanding the biology of when to pull them. 0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:40.040 I have a little hand ho Yeah, it's just like 0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:44.080 if like a trousized little hoe and I you can 0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:48.520 make some good You can, yeah, progress with your weeds. 0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:50.240 You say nothing, You just get on your knees and 0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:53.560 start wandering around the garden and just how those things up. Yeah, 0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:55.359 and it really makes it different. I got it. 0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:58.960 I gotta stir up poe for those things I can't reach, 0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:00.320 you know, like I don't want to get under that. 0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:03.639 I've got a really pretty aralia cordatta sun king, and 0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:05.280 I don't want to get underneath that thing. I could 0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:08.320 just take that yep, that stirrup hoe and just cut 0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:09.160 everything off. 0:24:09.160 --> 0:24:11.320 Both those tools are really good for getting in and 0:24:11.359 --> 0:24:14.280 around other plants. Sarah, do you have anything? 0:24:14.480 --> 0:24:16.400 Oh my goodness, there's so much I should have done 0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:19.240 last week but did not do because I was not 0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:23.159 there for it. But things are growing like crazy right now. 0:24:23.880 --> 0:24:27.680 I came back and my bananas are ten inches taller. 0:24:27.880 --> 0:24:30.080 You know, of course, the weeds are ten inches taller. 0:24:31.880 --> 0:24:36.119
