<v Speaker 3>there explaining who we are.

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.680

<v Speaker 3>which is gardening accessories and tools and all this. So

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 3>a lot of their material came into our warehouse, you know,

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 3>just for photography purposes. And there's some fine things I

0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 3>just love to borrow, you know.

0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Really, they don't give them to you.

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 3>No, no, they don't give them too wow.

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's some cool stuff. But you do really well

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 3>in my garden.

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:09.839
<v Speaker 2>If it were up to me, Mark, I make sure

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:13.919
<v Speaker 2>you get a few things. Yeah, you keep you happy.

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.120
<v Speaker 2>I think that's hard. I think you're a little cranky

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 2>this morning.

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.079
<v Speaker 3>Mark, Well, I didn't even go to bed last night.

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 2>You traveled three days Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Correct got in

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 2>and then went dancing last.

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:30.640
<v Speaker 3>Night, dancing in the morning down here in Mount Lookout

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 3>looking and it was every turn there was a tree

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 3>across the road or flooded. It took a little longer

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 3>than normal to get to from a deer to Mount Lookout.

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Parts of Cincinnati got slammed last night, five inches of

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 2>rain in like an hour, hour and a half or something.

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:51.600
<v Speaker 2>In certain parts it was really isolated. It was like

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 2>here they got five inches of rain, You got an

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 2>inch and a half. No, no, no, that was oh early.

0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 3>That was early. And we I haven't even you know,

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 3>measured it. Yeah, because it looks like it's going to

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:04.799
<v Speaker 3>before you.

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Got maybe four Yeah, I got a half inch and

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm what three miles the way the crow.

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 3>Flnes the way the crow f wash.

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's yeah, it was amazing. Cars were floating. News

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 2>people were out, fire trucks back and forth.

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Every year.

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 3>Yah, yes, summer, you know, these localized storms. But this

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.600
<v Speaker 3>year it's just, you know, at a different level.

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 2>It really has been a weird year. And we must

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 2>be way above on average rainfall some people. Yeah, which

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 2>is scary because we always finished level. We always finished

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 2>right at average, and that probably means we're in for

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 2>like a wicked drought.

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Here before too long.

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't say that.

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know.

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm hoping if I say it, it won't happen.

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 3>It is funny how things equal out. It's temperature and rainfall.

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:57.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's just, uh, you know, the oscillations seem more

0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 2>extreme anymore than the than they used to be. I

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 2>looked into the Canadian wildfires. We're on the edge of

0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 2>the smoke, whereas you know, Detroit, Minneapolis, Toronto, the East

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 2>coast getting a lot more of it. So I looked

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:16.480
<v Speaker 2>into it. They say there's about eight hundred and eighty

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 2>eight fires. It seems like a pretty precise number to

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 2>just pull out of the air and then say about

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:27.360
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, about eight hundred and eighty eight fires nearly

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:30.840
<v Speaker 2>all started by lightning aggravated by heat and dry conditions,

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of them are very remote where they

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:39.359
<v Speaker 2>really cannot fight them, you know. So it's gonna depend

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 2>on rain getting there to put these out.

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:44.239
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of them are in peat. I didn't

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:44.560
<v Speaker 1>know this.

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.800
<v Speaker 2>In the peat soil they have where they burn low

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:53.080
<v Speaker 2>and slow and nobody even knows they're there until they

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 2>reach a point where they ignite.

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.760
<v Speaker 3>Boy, that's probably hard to put out a peat fire.

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 2>I would think, so. I mean, you got to know it,

0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 2>you got to know it's there. Yeah, and then it's

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 2>underground and it's moving like in veins, and yeah, I

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.400
<v Speaker 2>don't know if that's even a possibility.

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:15.240
<v Speaker 3>That fire in like the province of Quebec a few

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.280
<v Speaker 3>years ago, they just had to let it burn. And yeah,

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 3>it was so remote, like.

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 2>That coal mine fire in Pennsylvania that's been going on

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 2>for thirty years, you know, and with no end in

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:30.359
<v Speaker 2>sight there, you know. Yeah, you didn't know about that. Yeah,

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 2>and it was an old coalm I know, finished when

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 2>I think, and I forget how it got started. But

0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:40.320
<v Speaker 2>it's just burning under this town, and the town's basically

0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.919
<v Speaker 2>a ghost town now, not entirely, but it just you know,

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:46.239
<v Speaker 2>smoke is coming out of various parts of the ground

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 2>and it just keeps moving through all these old veins,

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 2>and there's really nothing that can do about it. Yeah,

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the source of oxygen is from too many

0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 2>places to.

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:56.279
<v Speaker 1>Shut it off.

0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 2>But we've got I think, a very good show today.

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:09.960
<v Speaker 2>We have David Hoffman coming later on, who is inherited

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 2>the the godfather role of Hoffman Nurseries used to be

0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 2>run by his dad, John, who is retired. John is

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:21.719
<v Speaker 2>a good Both John and David are great friends of ours.

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 2>And they are Oh, they have to be the largest

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 2>supplier of a wholesale plug supplier of grasses in the

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 2>United States.

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:35.720
<v Speaker 3>Well if they're close, and they're probably the best known.

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, best known. They both get out everywhere. They're so

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 2>generous within the industry and their knowledge. They're always trying

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.960
<v Speaker 2>new plants and they've pretty much are instrumental in getting

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 2>more sedges into the market, which is really.

0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:49.520
<v Speaker 1>A big deal.

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:56.599
<v Speaker 2>Maybe not to you know, typical gardeners, but certainly into

0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 2>you know the bigger, campusy new naturalism kind of gardeners.

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 3>You know, sedges, that's I like sedges. But for some

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 3>of the just average gardener, Yeah, it's just a green,

0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:10.320
<v Speaker 3>grassy looking thing.

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Not all of them, not all of them. So there's

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 2>a handful that are really showy. One of them we

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 2>will all right, at least one of them, at least

0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 2>one of them from good you know, from me. Oh,

0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 2>that's right, I have it on my list, and I

0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:10.959

0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:13.639
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't ever think of thermal engineers.

0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:14.920

<v Speaker 1>What we got here.

0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:48.640
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to mention that I am trying to get

0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:52.400
<v Speaker 2>a Facebook page up for this for the show, which

0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:56.520
<v Speaker 2>will feature the lists and links and pictures of plants.

0:22:56.560 --> 0:22:59.480
<v Speaker 2>We talked about things like that I'll get I try

0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:01.800
<v Speaker 2>to get that stuff up either right after or right

0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:06.200
<v Speaker 2>before the show, and maybe, if I'm ambitious, go back

0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 2>and kind of fill in things from previous shows, which

0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:10.879
<v Speaker 2>would be nice to do. Also, I'm thinking on like

0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:14.359
<v Speaker 2>fun stuff like photo contests and ways people can interact.

0:23:14.000 --> 0:23:14.360
<v Speaker 3>With the show.

0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, a little interaction, little interact.

0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:18.800
<v Speaker 3>They won't call in, maybe they can, and we.

0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:20.879
<v Speaker 1>Do want you to call in. Eight hundred eighty.

0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:23.080
<v Speaker 3>Two three eighty two fifty. Laying on the guilt trip

0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:24.200
<v Speaker 3>too much might being hard.

0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:26.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you can lay the guilt trip on

0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:31.960
<v Speaker 2>too much at all. That's something that works a lot

0:23:32.000 --> 0:23:36.920
<v Speaker 2>of the time. So uh, hey, let's jump into our

0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:39.920
<v Speaker 2>favorite plants right now. And uh I'm gonna let you

0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:42.480
<v Speaker 2>start off, because you what you just told me during

0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:46.199
<v Speaker 2>the break is very intriguing that all of your plants

0:23:46.200 --> 0:23:47.240
<v Speaker 2>are controversial.

0:23:47.640 --> 0:23:51.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well most all them. Yes. So they're all from

0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:54.480
<v Speaker 3>my drive to South Carolina from Cincinnati.

0:23:54.640 --> 0:23:58.760
<v Speaker 1>So on Wednesday, you went to We're in South Carolina, Clemson.

0:23:58.840 --> 0:24:01.040
<v Speaker 3>That's the city and the universe, oh both.

0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, and then and then you you you went

0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:07.400
<v Speaker 2>there to see things on Thursday and then you.

0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:10.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well Wednesday I had other appointments in the area

0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:15.159
<v Speaker 3>getting some of the farms. The commercial growers that are

0:24:15.160 --> 0:24:17.280
<v Speaker 3>growing are seedless muscadines. Ok.

0:24:18.160 --> 0:24:21.960
<v Speaker 2>And you also saw a peach breeder, which we'll talk about.

0:24:22.240 --> 0:24:24.959
<v Speaker 3>H So, Okay, I was in the car looking a

0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:29.320
<v Speaker 3>long time looking at plants. Yeah, it gets tiring, but

0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:32.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm just going to start with a big one. Oh Kudzooh.

0:24:32.880 --> 0:24:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:36.720
<v Speaker 3>You know the vine that ate the South brought over

0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:42.359
<v Speaker 3>with good intentions with the first cattle, right, soil erosion. Okay,

0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:45.959
<v Speaker 3>it does you know they do feed cattle, you know.

0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:49.480
<v Speaker 3>So it was brought over in the mid to late

0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:52.879
<v Speaker 3>eighteen hundreds more as an ornamental and.

0:24:53.359 --> 0:24:54.680
<v Speaker 1>That early yeah. Ok.

0:24:54.760 --> 0:24:59.480
<v Speaker 3>And then the soil conservation people said, hey, district said

0:24:59.640 --> 0:25:03.159
<v Speaker 3>in the and during the dustol area started really promoting

0:25:03.200 --> 0:25:07.960
<v Speaker 3>it as a way to save your soil and stop erosion.

0:25:07.680 --> 0:25:09.679
<v Speaker 1>And which it does well, I imagine.

0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:09.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:25:09.960 --> 0:25:10.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:25:10.119 --> 0:25:13.239
<v Speaker 3>And the rest is history is most people have if

0:25:13.280 --> 0:25:19.000
<v Speaker 3>they've traveled south, have seen how it just blankets literately.

0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Orange, right. Yeah.

0:25:23.320 --> 0:25:26.520
<v Speaker 3>And it's mostly of disturbed areas. It's not like really

0:25:26.560 --> 0:25:32.560
<v Speaker 3>invading the Yeah, but it's very visible from the roads

0:25:32.720 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 3>and the way it covers structures is just it's just

0:25:36.880 --> 0:25:40.560
<v Speaker 3>amazing how much that darn thing grows. I mean, there

0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:44.159
<v Speaker 3>are some redeeming values. I mean, it does produce a

0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:46.240
<v Speaker 3>fair amount of biomass. It's not as much as it

0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:47.040
<v Speaker 3>looks like if it.

0:25:47.000 --> 0:25:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Is really and it's because it looks like a ton

0:25:50.200 --> 0:25:50.840
<v Speaker 1>and I've been.

0:25:50.680 --> 0:25:53.320
<v Speaker 3>Reading a lot about it and then and it's very

0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:56.960
<v Speaker 3>complex and I'm having a hard time understanding if you things.

0:25:57.000 --> 0:25:58.000
<v Speaker 3>So that's why I'm not even.

0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:01.040
<v Speaker 2>There are a handful of populations here, and so it's

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:05.320
<v Speaker 2>that way. I was hardened to talk to the green

0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:09.440
<v Speaker 2>space coordinator in Anderson Township where I live, and there's

0:26:09.480 --> 0:26:13.119
<v Speaker 2>a few patches. There's like four populations and they're working,

0:26:13.600 --> 0:26:15.680
<v Speaker 2>actually it was eight, and they're working to get all

0:26:15.680 --> 0:26:16.359
<v Speaker 2>of them removed.

0:26:16.400 --> 0:26:19.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Yeah. It were kind of at the northern edge

0:26:20.000 --> 0:26:23.480
<v Speaker 3>of its general range. There are a few pockets north

0:26:24.119 --> 0:26:28.080
<v Speaker 3>in the country, but basically it just comes.

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Up southern Kentucky's where I start to see that.

0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:33.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, it just comes over across the Ohio River Indo, Ohio, Okay.

0:26:33.400 --> 0:26:36.520
<v Speaker 3>So it's most common in the Ohio River counties and

0:26:36.640 --> 0:26:39.640
<v Speaker 3>in New Richmond, where I grew up. There were two patches.

0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:42.560
<v Speaker 3>One was on Little Indian it's still. And then on

0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:47.720
<v Speaker 3>Pond Run Road, so it's it's around yeah. And then

0:26:49.119 --> 0:26:52.439
<v Speaker 3>I was riding around in this golf cart on this

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:56.040
<v Speaker 3>hilly farm. You know, I felt my life was in

0:26:56.119 --> 0:26:56.639
<v Speaker 3>danger with that.

0:26:56.680 --> 0:26:59.560
<v Speaker 2>I've seen videos people get killed on those cities, yea, yeah.

0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:01.760
<v Speaker 3>And this guy was eighty five and he told me

0:27:01.800 --> 0:27:06.159
<v Speaker 3>he flipped his tractor thirteen times. Now how he's alive away.

0:27:07.200 --> 0:27:11.280
<v Speaker 3>So anyway, this little insect lands on me, a little

0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:14.040
<v Speaker 3>brown thing, and several of them over this time, and

0:27:14.040 --> 0:27:16.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, hey, what is this? You know, I'm into bugs.

0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:20.240
<v Speaker 3>And it's the common name they call it is the

0:27:20.320 --> 0:27:23.760
<v Speaker 3>cud zoo bug. Really, yes, And it's a little a

0:27:23.840 --> 0:27:27.880
<v Speaker 3>cud zoo stink bug. And sure enough, it's this real

0:27:27.960 --> 0:27:30.600
<v Speaker 3>little thing about the third the size of a normal

0:27:30.640 --> 0:27:33.640
<v Speaker 3>stink bug. And I am like, well, I can't smell much. Well,

0:27:33.680 --> 0:27:37.000
<v Speaker 3>it smells just like a stink.

0:27:36.760 --> 0:27:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Bug, like sour apples, if that's what you call that.

0:27:41.840 --> 0:27:48.000
<v Speaker 3>I know, I don't know. So anyway, this thing, you think, oh,

0:27:48.080 --> 0:27:54.840
<v Speaker 3>did we introduce this to h You know, it just

0:27:55.200 --> 0:27:58.400
<v Speaker 3>hitched a ride rather recently, real kind of a new phenomena,

0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:02.200
<v Speaker 3>and it attacks members of the bean family so soy

0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:04.879
<v Speaker 3>beans are susceptible to it. But there, okay, there were

0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:07.280
<v Speaker 3>a lot of these little things flying around because kutsu.

0:28:07.359 --> 0:28:09.400
<v Speaker 1>If I remember, it is a lake guome right.

0:28:09.359 --> 0:28:12.960
<v Speaker 3>It's a like yum. It gets these clusters of big

0:28:13.040 --> 0:28:16.240
<v Speaker 3>pea like flowers like kind of like kind of like wisteria,

0:28:16.240 --> 0:28:19.520
<v Speaker 3>but it has this super sweet smell. It's not blooming yet.

0:28:19.800 --> 0:28:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh, the fragrances like it's like.

0:28:21.880 --> 0:28:23.679
<v Speaker 3>A candy kind of.

0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:26.480
<v Speaker 2>But it is alarming when you're driving through the South

0:28:26.520 --> 0:28:28.960
<v Speaker 2>that you'll you know, come around a bend or something

0:28:29.000 --> 0:28:30.960
<v Speaker 2>and then all of a sudden there's a wall of

0:28:31.080 --> 0:28:34.719
<v Speaker 2>katsu for a mile or sometimes it seems like, and

0:28:34.800 --> 0:28:36.600
<v Speaker 2>it's all up in the trees and you're looking at

0:28:36.640 --> 0:28:39.520
<v Speaker 2>it and you're like, oh, and I know it's a

0:28:39.680 --> 0:28:42.360
<v Speaker 2>it's a problem. I don't know if it's a total

0:28:42.360 --> 0:28:45.680
<v Speaker 2>ecological disaster, and I don't think so. No, it's because

0:28:45.680 --> 0:28:47.920
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't get deep into the woods. It's in these

0:28:47.960 --> 0:28:51.680
<v Speaker 2>disturbed areas, but still it's like just another And the

0:28:51.720 --> 0:28:54.520
<v Speaker 2>thing that bothers me about it is because it's been

0:28:54.560 --> 0:28:57.600
<v Speaker 2>known to have been an invasive plant for a very

0:28:57.640 --> 0:29:02.120
<v Speaker 2>long time, and yet eight people or a few at

0:29:02.160 --> 0:29:07.440
<v Speaker 2>least in my township. Thought, Oh, it's attractive enough to

0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:10.440
<v Speaker 2>plant it in their yard or wherever. And now it's

0:29:10.560 --> 0:29:14.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, spreading around so people don't play around with

0:29:14.720 --> 0:29:16.960
<v Speaker 2>invasive plants.

0:29:16.480 --> 0:29:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Not good.

0:29:17.480 --> 0:29:19.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh we got to play with them and then find

0:29:19.320 --> 0:29:20.280
<v Speaker 3>out if they're invasive.

0:29:20.880 --> 0:29:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Smart mark.

0:29:22.360 --> 0:29:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm we're in the heat dome. I'm going to

0:29:25.600 --> 0:29:28.520
<v Speaker 2>come in and just say once again, shade trees are

0:29:28.600 --> 0:29:32.280
<v Speaker 2>my favorite plants right now, big ones, anything that provides

0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:37.880
<v Speaker 2>a lot of shade, maples, oaks, Linden's, elms, z cova.

0:29:39.080 --> 0:29:44.920
<v Speaker 2>What am I missing? Hookeries. Get those big trees out there,

0:29:45.600 --> 0:29:49.400
<v Speaker 2>diversity them. Don't all buy red maples. Yeah, okay, well

0:29:49.400 --> 0:29:51.480
<v Speaker 2>that's all right, that's all right. Gotta put you on

0:29:51.480 --> 0:29:54.360
<v Speaker 2>the spot. I'm just gonna mention Esculus part of a

0:29:54.360 --> 0:29:56.640
<v Speaker 2>floor a variety Satna. I didn't know it was a

0:29:56.680 --> 0:30:01.000
<v Speaker 2>sub variety the cult of our rogers because it's blooming now.

0:30:01.040 --> 0:30:05.840
<v Speaker 2>It's later than the regular bottlebrush bluck guys, and it's

0:30:05.880 --> 0:30:10.080
<v Speaker 2>just fabulous. It's a big suckering plant, great for screening,

0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:13.880
<v Speaker 2>deir resistance, sunshade, moist dry.

0:30:13.800 --> 0:30:14.400
<v Speaker 3>Amazing plan.

0:30:14.520 --> 0:30:15.240
<v Speaker 1>It's an amazing place.

0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:16.600
<v Speaker 3>It was one of my plants of the week. They're

0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:19.240
<v Speaker 3>just the regular species. Okay, about a month, but ago

0:30:19.360 --> 0:30:20.280
<v Speaker 3>it was blooming.

0:30:19.920 --> 0:30:20.880
<v Speaker 1>When those were blooming, and.

0:30:20.920 --> 0:30:22.680
<v Speaker 3>Rogers, that's a very long panicle.

0:30:22.880 --> 0:30:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah and yeah, really big and very fuzzy, and the

0:30:26.440 --> 0:30:27.880
<v Speaker 2>polleningter is absolutely loving.

0:30:28.960 --> 0:30:29.800
<v Speaker 1>What's your next one?

0:30:30.000 --> 0:30:33.719
<v Speaker 2>And I'm looking for something real controversial, real controversial.

0:30:33.720 --> 0:30:38.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh okay, the empress tree polonia. Yeah yeah, yeah, see,

0:30:38.880 --> 0:30:42.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean you see it around here once in a while,

0:30:42.560 --> 0:30:46.320
<v Speaker 3>but uh, you travel south, it's crazy. It's all over.

0:30:46.360 --> 0:30:50.040
<v Speaker 3>And when you take forty from Knoxville to Ashville and

0:30:50.080 --> 0:30:52.480
<v Speaker 3>you're in the mountains, it's all over those rotten.

0:30:52.280 --> 0:30:54.080
<v Speaker 2>And you can see it when it's a bloom so easily,

0:30:54.120 --> 0:30:56.040
<v Speaker 2>well even not because the leaves are so big.

0:30:56.880 --> 0:30:59.120
<v Speaker 3>Well yeah, and it blooms before the leaves come out,

0:30:59.160 --> 0:31:02.560
<v Speaker 3>and it's very spring and then it has these clusters

0:31:02.560 --> 0:31:06.120
<v Speaker 3>of seed, spiky seed pods that hang down. Now, what

0:31:06.240 --> 0:31:07.960
<v Speaker 3>I used to do with it when I was into

0:31:08.080 --> 0:31:11.320
<v Speaker 3>state gardening. I would grow it in a garden as

0:31:11.320 --> 0:31:13.880
<v Speaker 3>a tropical and you would copass it. You would cut

0:31:13.880 --> 0:31:17.360
<v Speaker 3>it down every year, and that thing would grow like

0:31:17.560 --> 0:31:21.240
<v Speaker 3>twelve feet this messive leaves a year and those juvenile

0:31:21.360 --> 0:31:24.680
<v Speaker 3>leaves are like five times as big as the normal leaves.

0:31:24.680 --> 0:31:27.400
<v Speaker 3>They're just giant. It's really cool that way.

0:31:27.600 --> 0:31:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, even there, you're kind of playing with the fire

0:31:30.680 --> 0:31:33.040
<v Speaker 2>a little bit because you noted copposs it every year.

0:31:33.080 --> 0:31:35.360
<v Speaker 2>But you know, if you move on and somebody leaves it,

0:31:35.480 --> 0:31:38.040
<v Speaker 2>then it could grow into a tree and start producing

0:31:38.080 --> 0:31:38.920
<v Speaker 2>seed and sweating.

0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:41.400
<v Speaker 3>And I'm playing with fire just talking about it.

0:31:41.560 --> 0:31:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah you are, You're gonna get calls and heat mail.

0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:46.960
<v Speaker 3>But at the IPM conference in Germany there IPM is

0:31:47.400 --> 0:31:52.440
<v Speaker 3>it's this big horticulture trade show in Germany. There was

0:31:52.480 --> 0:31:58.320
<v Speaker 3>a company that sells different varieties of it for forest products.

0:31:58.320 --> 0:32:00.000
<v Speaker 3>It makes this really durable.

0:32:00.600 --> 0:32:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Would I first learned about it? I read this article

0:32:03.840 --> 0:32:06.560
<v Speaker 2>in Newsweek or something it was a long time ago,

0:32:06.600 --> 0:32:10.760
<v Speaker 2>about how it was actually becoming endangered in Japan because

0:32:10.800 --> 0:32:14.200
<v Speaker 2>they make like boxes for brides out of the wood.

0:32:14.200 --> 0:32:18.040
<v Speaker 2>It's purple, it's it has street it's beautiful wood. And

0:32:18.080 --> 0:32:21.120
<v Speaker 2>then you know, they started describing the tree like tropical,

0:32:21.200 --> 0:32:24.520
<v Speaker 2>look beautiful purple flowers. I'm like, oh, I want me

0:32:24.640 --> 0:32:27.400
<v Speaker 2>one of those, you know, and and then you know,

0:32:27.480 --> 0:32:30.720
<v Speaker 2>you you you well, then you find out it's it's

0:32:30.760 --> 0:32:34.880
<v Speaker 2>an invasive problem. And secondly it's it despite on paper

0:32:34.920 --> 0:32:38.000
<v Speaker 2>looking like a beautiful tree, it's not a pretty tree

0:32:38.320 --> 0:32:43.440
<v Speaker 2>in real life. It's usually scraggly and half damaged, and.

0:32:43.800 --> 0:32:45.760
<v Speaker 3>It just never drops those big old leaves.

0:32:45.880 --> 0:32:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's a problem.

0:32:47.760 --> 0:32:50.520
<v Speaker 2>I stopped at some nash Or State park at Tennessee

0:32:50.560 --> 0:32:52.680
<v Speaker 2>around Jackson, Tennessee, and.

0:32:52.680 --> 0:32:55.680
<v Speaker 1>It was riddled with them. I mean, oh yeah, yeah,

0:32:55.680 --> 0:32:56.959
<v Speaker 1>they were everywhere.

0:32:57.880 --> 0:33:01.120
<v Speaker 2>So I'm going to jump in and say a couple

0:33:01.240 --> 0:33:07.800
<v Speaker 2>real quick. Lanira reticulate a Kinsley's ghost just a great

0:33:08.320 --> 0:33:12.200
<v Speaker 2>a native honeysuckle. Yeah, I think the common name is

0:33:12.240 --> 0:33:14.840
<v Speaker 2>just reticulate honeysuckle, So you might as well learn a

0:33:14.840 --> 0:33:15.120
<v Speaker 2>lot of this.

0:33:15.240 --> 0:33:16.760
<v Speaker 3>Or it's a native selection.

0:33:16.880 --> 0:33:21.120
<v Speaker 2>It's a native selection with blue foliage. It's porfolio, so

0:33:21.440 --> 0:33:24.000
<v Speaker 2>the stems go through the foliage. It looks a lot

0:33:24.040 --> 0:33:28.120
<v Speaker 2>like a eucalyptus does. Throw it by itself. It's sort

0:33:28.120 --> 0:33:30.440
<v Speaker 2>of a shrubby thing, but if it has something to

0:33:30.480 --> 0:33:32.800
<v Speaker 2>climb up to, it'll climb well.

0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Up into a tree. So it's kind of a neat

0:33:34.080 --> 0:33:35.720
<v Speaker 1>one cool plant. I love it.

0:33:36.120 --> 0:33:40.959
<v Speaker 2>And then garden flocks flocks piniculata it's hitting its stride

0:33:40.960 --> 0:33:44.480
<v Speaker 2>and it is so beautiful. I've got many I started

0:33:44.520 --> 0:33:48.440
<v Speaker 2>out with just a handful of mildew resistant varieties, and

0:33:48.560 --> 0:33:49.600
<v Speaker 2>I think they're all gone.

0:33:49.680 --> 0:33:49.880
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:33:50.040 --> 0:33:52.600
<v Speaker 2>The seedlings are, you know, seeds around a little bit.

0:33:53.040 --> 0:33:56.120
<v Speaker 2>So I've got a bunch of seedlings of various colors

0:33:56.200 --> 0:33:59.680
<v Speaker 2>all over the garden now, and they're all good. They

0:33:59.720 --> 0:34:01.680
<v Speaker 2>all have of the fragrance, different colors.

0:34:02.080 --> 0:34:02.959
<v Speaker 3>Uh and uh.

0:34:03.600 --> 0:34:06.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't see mildew, which is really nice because that's

0:34:06.640 --> 0:34:10.280
<v Speaker 2>supposedly a bad problem with other older writings.

0:34:10.600 --> 0:34:11.919
<v Speaker 3>Maybe eventually it'll get them.

0:34:12.000 --> 0:34:12.960
<v Speaker 1>What's your next one?

0:34:13.560 --> 0:34:17.040
<v Speaker 3>My next one, I'm going with a native Devil's walking,

0:34:17.360 --> 0:34:23.279
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, which you know who knows what I mean?

0:34:23.280 --> 0:34:26.520
<v Speaker 3>This is a semi obscure plant. We once again we're

0:34:26.600 --> 0:34:29.359
<v Speaker 3>on the northern part of its range. You can see

0:34:29.360 --> 0:34:32.800
<v Speaker 3>it in when you travel like to Adams in Sciota County,

0:34:32.880 --> 0:34:38.560
<v Speaker 3>and it gets these it's a suckering shrub. I guess

0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:40.920
<v Speaker 3>you'd call it. It doesn't. I don't even know that

0:34:40.960 --> 0:34:45.839
<v Speaker 3>it branches. It's just steady stock and it has these

0:34:47.160 --> 0:34:50.880
<v Speaker 3>really large compound leaves, so it's more like a leaf

0:34:51.000 --> 0:34:53.440
<v Speaker 3>like maybe a Kentucky coffee tree.

0:34:53.600 --> 0:34:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's just say that doubly pinate.

0:34:56.120 --> 0:34:59.719
<v Speaker 3>Pinnately compound leaf. So it has all these leaflets kind

0:34:59.719 --> 0:35:03.600
<v Speaker 3>of foliage, and then right now they're starting to bloom.

0:35:03.719 --> 0:35:06.719
<v Speaker 3>It's this big panicle like the size of a basketball

0:35:06.800 --> 0:35:13.120
<v Speaker 3>of these tiny white flowers, and bees and flies just

0:35:13.200 --> 0:35:18.279
<v Speaker 3>like anything in the Aurelia family just flock to it.

0:35:18.760 --> 0:35:22.239
<v Speaker 3>But I mean, I want this somewhere nearby, but you

0:35:22.360 --> 0:35:24.759
<v Speaker 3>have to be very careful because this does spread by

0:35:24.800 --> 0:35:29.160
<v Speaker 3>suckers and it has oh yeah, the double parts thorns

0:35:28.800 --> 0:35:33.680
<v Speaker 3>at the least on the stem. And it's just I

0:35:33.719 --> 0:35:35.520
<v Speaker 3>wish you we could show pictures here.

0:35:35.719 --> 0:35:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we'll get that Facebook page and real quick. When

0:35:38.960 --> 0:35:41.879

<v Speaker 2>Our number eight hundred eighty two three eighty two fifty five.

0:37:36.280 --> 0:37:38.759
<v Speaker 2>You're listening to Let's Garden with Scott Berline here with

0:37:38.840 --> 0:37:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Mark Wessell, chief horticulturist at Gardens Alive, and h it

0:37:43.440 --> 0:37:46.080
<v Speaker 2>has come Well, We're still in the midst of our

0:37:46.120 --> 0:37:49.520
<v Speaker 2>favorite plants right now. And I'm gonna let you go

0:37:49.560 --> 0:37:53.439
<v Speaker 2>first again. You've got a doozy of a controversial plant. Well, uh,

0:37:53.560 --> 0:37:56.239
<v Speaker 2>not that controversial anymore. From the right, right, right, it's

0:37:56.280 --> 0:38:00.239
<v Speaker 2>not too controversial, mimosa. Yeah, just you know, this goes

0:38:00.239 --> 0:38:04.759
<v Speaker 2>back to my childhood. Those cool, beautiful, puffy flowers and.

0:38:04.640 --> 0:38:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely gorgeous plant. Very tropical looking.

0:38:06.880 --> 0:38:09.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, very tropical. It doesn't look like it belongs here.

0:38:09.480 --> 0:38:11.080
<v Speaker 1>It does and it doesn't.

0:38:11.600 --> 0:38:14.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but it's just an interesting planet. It seems to

0:38:14.880 --> 0:38:17.720
<v Speaker 3>be like the road cuts.

0:38:17.360 --> 0:38:21.360
<v Speaker 1>And yeah that's another legoo right yeah yeah, yeah.

0:38:21.160 --> 0:38:26.160
<v Speaker 3>And its marginally hardy here some I mean not more

0:38:26.200 --> 0:38:28.920
<v Speaker 3>than marginal. Yeah, it still gets.

0:38:29.120 --> 0:38:30.920
<v Speaker 2>And as we get warmer, I think, you know, we

0:38:31.000 --> 0:38:34.040
<v Speaker 2>might start seeing it invade more than it is. It

0:38:34.080 --> 0:38:36.719
<v Speaker 2>does seed around now, but it does get worse and

0:38:37.080 --> 0:38:37.640
<v Speaker 2>down south.

0:38:37.680 --> 0:38:41.399
<v Speaker 3>It's oh bad news, right, bad news. Yeah, sorry, folks, Yeah,

0:38:41.440 --> 0:38:43.720
<v Speaker 3>the problem for you, but here.

0:38:43.560 --> 0:38:45.799
<v Speaker 2>It's one of the things, one of your burdens for

0:38:46.400 --> 0:38:48.800
<v Speaker 2>you have to deal with for living in warmer climates.

0:38:48.880 --> 0:38:52.320
<v Speaker 3>That's right, that's right. Besides the humidity and uh, chiggers

0:38:52.320 --> 0:38:55.919
<v Speaker 3>and snakes and snakes, I don't know.

0:38:57.680 --> 0:39:00.399
<v Speaker 2>I have got I don't even know how to say,

0:39:00.400 --> 0:39:04.960
<v Speaker 2>this plant, and it's a really unusual one, but Ryan

0:39:05.040 --> 0:39:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Cospera Colorado good enough. It's called white top sedge. It's

0:39:10.040 --> 0:39:13.279
<v Speaker 2>not a sedge, it's something else. But it's such a

0:39:13.280 --> 0:39:15.919
<v Speaker 2>funky plant. We're using it at the zoo and so

0:39:16.040 --> 0:39:17.360
<v Speaker 2>I get to see it there, and I've seen it

0:39:17.400 --> 0:39:20.200
<v Speaker 2>one other place I can't remember where, but it's sort

0:39:20.200 --> 0:39:23.279
<v Speaker 2>of it looks like a sedge, but about three feet no,

0:39:23.320 --> 0:39:25.600
<v Speaker 2>not that two and a half, two feet high, with

0:39:25.760 --> 0:39:28.360
<v Speaker 2>just this really funky little flower that.

0:39:29.880 --> 0:39:31.359
<v Speaker 1>Attracts pollinators. It's really cool.

0:39:31.400 --> 0:39:34.520
<v Speaker 2>It's one worth looking up. White sedge, white top sedge,

0:39:35.080 --> 0:39:38.440
<v Speaker 2>and I'm going to jump in with calam mints, Calamintha

0:39:38.800 --> 0:39:44.920
<v Speaker 2>nepita napita or cat mints, not cat net, but cat mints.

0:39:45.160 --> 0:39:48.320
<v Speaker 2>And there's several varieties out there. White cloud, blue cloud,

0:39:48.360 --> 0:39:53.959
<v Speaker 2>mantre's white marvel at blue triumphader. That's what I haven't seen.

0:39:54.600 --> 0:39:56.600
<v Speaker 2>It can be used as an herb, it's you know,

0:39:56.840 --> 0:40:00.560
<v Speaker 2>but basically it's a front of the border little plant

0:40:00.719 --> 0:40:05.720
<v Speaker 2>like an alyssa maybe, but it's perennial, perennial seas around, subtle.

0:40:05.920 --> 0:40:09.480
<v Speaker 3>Subtle, like a showstopper, but a good filler.

0:40:09.280 --> 0:40:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Good filler, and polliniers flocked to it. And it's tough,

0:40:12.880 --> 0:40:15.640
<v Speaker 1>and it's tough for good hot dry sites. You got

0:40:15.680 --> 0:40:16.239
<v Speaker 1>anything left?

0:40:17.880 --> 0:40:22.040
<v Speaker 2>No, you don't, Okay, so I'll carry on another truce

0:40:22.120 --> 0:40:27.520
<v Speaker 2>edge kerr ex Oshi Mensa ever Rilloh, it's nice from

0:40:27.560 --> 0:40:29.919
<v Speaker 2>an Irish breeder. I think David Hoffman might talk about

0:40:29.960 --> 0:40:32.160
<v Speaker 2>this a little bit when he comes on it a

0:40:32.200 --> 0:40:33.200
<v Speaker 2>little bit later in the show.

0:40:33.239 --> 0:40:37.560
<v Speaker 1>But super bright gold foliage. It's it's just really good.

0:40:37.719 --> 0:40:41.319
<v Speaker 2>A little grassy looking thing maybe six eight inches high,

0:40:41.560 --> 0:40:43.239
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of a weep to a little bit

0:40:43.239 --> 0:40:47.360
<v Speaker 2>of a curve, and you know, if you need that

0:40:47.440 --> 0:40:49.960
<v Speaker 2>bright color in a spot to lighten it up or

0:40:50.000 --> 0:40:52.200
<v Speaker 2>be a focal point or whatever, it's a really good.

0:40:52.080 --> 0:40:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Plant for that.

0:40:52.680 --> 0:40:55.080
<v Speaker 3>That's one of those fun new you know.

0:40:55.120 --> 0:40:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Newish things.

0:40:55.880 --> 0:40:57.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it comes from Ireland, of all places. I met

0:40:57.960 --> 0:41:01.719
<v Speaker 3>the breeder, did you this winter? Okay? Very interesting man?

0:41:02.080 --> 0:41:04.000
<v Speaker 1>How many of that series are out.

0:41:04.280 --> 0:41:06.040
<v Speaker 3>At least I've yeah around that.

0:41:06.480 --> 0:41:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:41:07.200 --> 0:41:10.440
<v Speaker 2>So there's yeah, one's ever gold ever Rillow. They all

0:41:10.480 --> 0:41:13.040
<v Speaker 2>have ever in the name, and I don't know exactly why.

0:41:13.120 --> 0:41:14.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and you can find them out there.

0:41:14.960 --> 0:41:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they're pretty common tropicals. I don't. I'm not a

0:41:19.680 --> 0:41:20.680
<v Speaker 1>big tropical grower.

0:41:20.760 --> 0:41:24.200
<v Speaker 3>You do a few, yeah, tender perennials.

0:41:24.280 --> 0:41:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they don't fit into my garden really well, but

0:41:26.960 --> 0:41:29.200
<v Speaker 2>I sure do appreciate them when I see him around.

0:41:29.600 --> 0:41:31.319
<v Speaker 2>And it's one of those groups of plants I don't

0:41:31.360 --> 0:41:34.440
<v Speaker 2>know that well yet, So it's kind of like enjoy

0:41:34.480 --> 0:41:36.680
<v Speaker 2>it without having too much information in your head.

0:41:36.719 --> 0:41:38.080
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of a different different things.

0:41:38.080 --> 0:41:39.839
<v Speaker 3>I would like to use some more. I just don't

0:41:39.880 --> 0:41:41.479
<v Speaker 3>have the space the sun and.

0:41:41.440 --> 0:41:43.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've got the pool deck area which would look

0:41:43.960 --> 0:41:46.560
<v Speaker 2>nice with the tropical, but then there's more of a

0:41:46.640 --> 0:41:49.680
<v Speaker 2>naturalistic landscape all around, so I think it would fit

0:41:49.719 --> 0:41:51.960
<v Speaker 2>in like a sore thumb, maybe, yeah, sort of.

0:41:52.160 --> 0:41:54.840
<v Speaker 3>Maybe some of these fancy designer people that you know

0:41:54.960 --> 0:41:56.400
<v Speaker 3>can help you bridge that gap.

0:41:56.719 --> 0:41:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that would be nice. I will rely on that.

0:42:00.160 --> 0:42:02.920
<v Speaker 2>I will call them up ten thirty at night or

0:42:03.000 --> 0:42:05.440
<v Speaker 2>during dinner time or something and to stay on the

0:42:05.440 --> 0:42:09.840
<v Speaker 2>line with them for about an hour, peppering with questions, peppering, peppering.

0:42:09.880 --> 0:42:10.520
<v Speaker 3>Who does that?

0:42:10.880 --> 0:42:18.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't Mangavi's. So these are Hans Hansen's creation with

0:42:20.680 --> 0:42:22.360

<v Speaker 1>Walters Walters Walter and these are.

0:42:25.040 --> 0:42:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Crosses between what agave and Manfreda Manfreda and they're very cool.

0:42:31.640 --> 0:42:34.920
<v Speaker 2>They look a lot like Agave's and they work really

0:42:34.960 --> 0:42:39.040
<v Speaker 2>well in gardens, not hardy up north, but you bring

0:42:39.080 --> 0:42:44.319
