That was four one five eight 6 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 2: oh eight five six zero zero. Hopefully you can hear 7 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 2: me clearly. We are uh. I think we've got pet 8 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 2: dander in the house. I think that's what's going on anyway, 9 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 2: So give us a call and we can talk about 10 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 2: what's going on in your garden. In my garden, I'm 11 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,959 Speaker 2: not doing much right now. I am trying to make 12 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: sure and you should as well, making sure that the 13 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 2: containers in your yard get watered well. Double check the 14 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 2: ground water as well. You know, maybe stick a stick 15 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: a stick in there and see if it comes out 16 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 2: moist or if it comes out you know dry when 17 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 2: you stick it down over you know, two to three 18 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 2: inches in the ground if it is, because you know, 19 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 2: turn on that irrigation system for a little bit because 20 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 2: it's going to be hot this week and you know, 21 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 2: unseasonably warm. I don't know what else to call it. 22 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 2: So that's what's going on there. Double check and then 23 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 2: of course container containers. Obviously they need their regular summer 24 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 2: watering until it gets cooled again, which I'm expecting. But 25 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 2: you know, I don't predict the future very well, so 26 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 2: we don't know for sure if we'll end up being 27 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 2: kind of cold again cold nights. But I'll tell you, 28 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 2: symbidiums love this, so I'm hoping your symbidium orchids are 29 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 2: spiking like mine are. They should be opening their flowers 30 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 2: by Easter as usual, so whenever Easter comes around is 31 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 2: usually when they start to open. I don't know. It 32 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 2: might be toward the middle, middle of the opening, I'm 33 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 2: not sure, not the beginning, but we'll see how they go. 34 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: But they are looking very happy. They're on the We 35 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: built a table and I can't remember when it was, 36 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: but put the Bondi plants that I have on top, 37 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 2: and then we put the symbidiums in their big pots 38 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 2: on the bottom shelf, and so they get there, they 39 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 2: get their protection. They're not straight on the deck. My 40 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 2: brother is the one that is very worried about my 41 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 2: deck because he's the one that built it last, and 42 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 2: he says that it's pretty much just a thick kind 43 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 2: of plywood all the way through the you know, the 44 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: floor of the deck, and more water is going to 45 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 2: break that down more quickly if it, you know, sits 46 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 2: in water a lot, which, of course, with so many 47 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 2: plants that I have, is a lot of water. So 48 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 2: physically I'm going to have to be concerned about that 49 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 2: and I might have to, you know, look at rebuilding 50 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 2: the deck. Another idea I have since most of my 51 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 2: bonds I don't get enough sun. I'm thinking there's this 52 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 2: one little patch between me and the neighbors that I 53 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 2: could put up a table. You know, it's been wrought 54 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 2: with weeds. I'm going to have the landscaper come out 55 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 2: again and try to dig out all the roots of 56 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 2: all the weeds that have been there. That's Agapantha. I 57 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 2: have enough. I have plenty for the showy flowers that 58 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 2: I get around my dad's birthday. And you know, I 59 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 2: kind of like the fair is always around my dad's birthday, right, 60 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 2: his birthday is July first, and I always want to 61 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: put like, you know, what do you call it, Oh 62 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 2: my gosh, fireworks, Oh my gosh, flowers that remind me 63 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 2: of flower works, and of course Agapantha is being blue. 64 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: They remind me of fireworks. So I always want to 65 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: make sure that I put some of those over there 66 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 2: where he is laid to rest there. I always like 67 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: to put flowers there to signify the season, and since 68 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 2: his birthdays around the fourth of July, la la la la. 69 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 2: So that's something that I strive for. But I have 70 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 2: enough agapanthers, okay, and so I you know, they're further 71 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 2: back with the roses, and they do just find blooming 72 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 2: and then and they're between the two homes, and but 73 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 2: there's this patch in front that's usually just full of 74 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 2: weeds that gets cleaned up every once in a while 75 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 2: between the two of us and anyway, so but they 76 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 2: keep coming back, and that's there's a couple of oak 77 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 2: trees in there. There's what else is blackberries of course 78 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 2: the agapanths I talked about what other plants in there, 79 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 2: the ivy. So that's all cleared out right now, but 80 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 2: only down to the ground. And you know, like you 81 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,239 Speaker 2: turn around and that thing is just full of weeds again. 82 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 2: So I'd like to do is just get that dug 83 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: out completely. That's my next plan. And then I want 84 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: my son to build a table there so that I 85 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 2: can put my larger bond side plants that need more 86 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 2: full son out there so that they'll get more sun. 87 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 2: And that's that's the trick, that's my process. That's what 88 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 2: I'm working on. Bonds. I need sun, I'll tell you 89 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 2: right now, even as alias, so you just have to 90 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 2: watch out for that full, full, full, hot, hot hot 91 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 2: sun that comes around usually fourth of July weekend. So 92 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 2: just some things that are going around in my garden. 93 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 2: I still have a lot of other plants that I'm 94 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 2: working on. I still have my my dad's Christmas cactus, 95 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: which has now been renamed as a Valentine's Day cactus 96 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 2: because every every cutting that I've had that I've you know, taken. 97 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: So there's this windstorm that comes through every year for 98 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 2: some reason and it knocks over the Christmas cactus, and 99 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 2: you know, it's frustrating because then it'll break some some 100 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 2: branches because it's it's in this really tiny clay pot 101 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: that I'm afraid to really do anything with. I'm sure 102 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 2: I should put it in a larger container, but it's 103 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 2: been in there for what thirty years, so I don't 104 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: want to disturb it. Now thirty years. I mean I 105 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 2: could count back and try to figure out it's not 106 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: quite thirty years. Maybe it's like eighteen or something like that, 107 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 2: but I can't remember when he transplanted it. Anyway, So 108 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 2: it blooms every year, but at a certain time, which 109 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 2: is never a holiday. So this year it did hit 110 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,239 Speaker 2: Valentine's Day, so I thought, okay, well, that's a pretty 111 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 2: flower for Valentine's It's so funny, And every cutting I've 112 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 2: made of the same plant all bloomed at the same time. 113 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 2: They're still kind of still blooming a little bit here 114 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: and there as well. But next year I think I'm 115 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 2: going to take the cuttings up to the clubhouse before 116 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 2: Valentine's Day and put them on sale there. That would 117 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 2: be funny anyway. And then what else is am I 118 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: working on. I've got a camellia that did very, very well. 119 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 2: I bought it from East Bay Garden Center, east Bay Nursery, 120 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 2: Insanol Nursery, I can't remember. No, it wasn't East Bay Nursery. 121 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 2: It was Insanol. It was on the Alameda Island, and 122 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 2: I bought a it was a five gallon can, and 123 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 2: it just it was amazing how much it bloomed. It's 124 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 2: still blooming, and I want a bond, say it. So 125 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 2: that's why I bought it, because it had a crooked 126 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 2: trunk and so I thought, okay, well let's get this going, 127 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 2: and then it just wouldn't stop blooming. So I'm sure 128 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 2: one thing that you could keep in mind that I 129 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 2: should learn from this experience is that when when a 130 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 2: plant like the camellias and alias and rhododendrons are blooming, 131 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,119 Speaker 2: they are quote unquote dormant. So you have your last 132 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 2: ditch effort to transplant them at that time or prune 133 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 2: them back or whatever you need to do to make 134 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 2: them cleaned up. And you know, and that's just what 135 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 2: to watch for. And of course with the rhododendron after 136 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 2: they bloom, which is later in the summer in the 137 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 2: spring here, but after they bloom is when you want 138 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 2: to do all the major cleaning and pruning back, so 139 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 2: just as they finish blooming. Oh, speaking of the Rhododendron Society, 140 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 2: I don't know if Mike is going to call in. 141 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 2: Phone numbers, by the way, are four, one, five eighth eight, five, 142 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 2: six zero zero. Keep that in mind if you've got 143 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 2: some master gardner group that wants to do something and 144 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 2: you want some people to come and see.

It's getting 150 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 2: very frustrating. Next door is even worse.

You 170 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 2: can become a member and you can do all sorts 171 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 2: of stuff and then keep up on the Rhododendron Society 172 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 2: the Deayanza chapter. I believe there's also some other chapters 173 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 2: locally as well. So if you're really into rhododendrons more 174 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 2: than just visiting the Golden Gate Park once a year, 175 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 2: you might want to go and do this. There would 176 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 2: be a lot of fun. And then also don't forget 177 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 2: up in Sonoma. There is the garden up there that's 178 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 2: full of rhododendrons, which is now called Botanica, So you 179 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 2: want to take a look for that. That's in Sebastopol. 180 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 2: While you're there, you may want to go over to 181 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 2: Low Pine Nursery and see what kind of cool bonzie 182 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 2: materials they have there. Of course you can plant those 183 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 2: things in the ground as well, so very unique trees 184 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 2: that they have over there, and Botanica is well worth 185 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 2: the visit and walk, and it's really beautiful, peaceful spot. 186 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 2: If you get too hot this week, you might want 187 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 2: to go give them a call and cool off there 188 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 2: because it's a lovely, lovely shade garden. It's been there 189 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 2: for ages and ages, beautiful beautiful trees, shrubs and all 190 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 2: the rest of that. So azaleas would probably be in 191 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 2: bloom pretty soon. Rhododendrons will be coming into bloom right 192 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 2: after the azaleas. Camellias will be blooming now, Plus the 193 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 2: magnolia's probably finishing up their blossoms and some other spring 194 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 2: blooms which you will be a little bit earlier than normal, 195 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 2: so well worth going there a few times just to 196 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 2: hit the peaks of the blossom season. So if you're 197 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 2: a photographer, then go to Botanica. All right, we are 198 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 2: going to go for a break because we do that 199 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 2: every fifteen minutes, and I hope you'll have a minute 200 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 2: to call eight oh eight five six zero zero. That's 201 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 2: four one five area code eight oh eight five six 202 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,599 Speaker 2: zero zero. Tashin of it. 203 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: You're listening to Bob Tannum in the Garden on Talk 204 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 1: Radio five. 205 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 2: Bob Tannem in the Garden with Ed Tanem. We are 206 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 2: having one of those call in with your question days. 207 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 2: I'd like to have those more often than guests, but 208 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 2: here we are. That's everything's fine, So give us a 209 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 2: call at four one, five eight oh eight five six 210 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: zero zero some day. You know, there are times I 211 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 2: want to give out my other daily number. I was like, well, 212 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 2: not know four one, five eight oh eight five six 213 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 2: zero zero for questions. I also wanted to mention that 214 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 2: the home show is coming up at the Sonoma County 215 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 2: fair Grounds and it'll be at the Grace Pavilion and 216 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 2: Shade Park. It's an interesting I haven't been there for 217 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 2: quite a while, but anyway, that's coming up March twenty 218 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 2: eighth to twenty ninth. So there will be all sorts 219 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 2: of things for the home including some landscape material type 220 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 2: of things. I believe the Bonzi Club with Redwood Empire, 221 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 2: I think, is going to be having a booth up 222 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 2: there just to show their bonzeye. So that's coming up. 223 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 2: So I just wanted to mention that because I had 224 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 2: that on my notes, and that will be fun. That's 225 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 2: March twenty eight twenty nine at the Cinema County Fairgrounds. 226 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 2: And we were talking last week about ants because we 227 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 2: could and I had this thing where, you know, I mean, 228 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 2: I usually don't like to get ridvance outdoors because they 229 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 2: do some good stuff, you know, air rating soil and 230 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 2: all the rest of that, but there are times when 231 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: they also do a little too much and spreading insects 232 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 2: up into those trees, scale and a fit and that 233 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 2: type of thing, and the roses and all that. So 234 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 2: the ants have a big job there. But if you 235 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 2: can't find their nests, this won't make sense. But if 236 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 2: you do find a nest of ants where they have 237 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 2: their colonies, and you want to slow down the amount 238 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 2: that you have in the area, I wondered if anybody 239 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: had tried this thing where you can pour club soda. 240 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 2: Has anyone heard of that? Because I don't like to 241 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 2: put the borac boric acid solution there only because there's 242 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 2: other outdoor critters that could get into It's really more 243 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 2: difficult to put that in a safe place. But there 244 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 2: you are. But also some people say that you put 245 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 2: a clay pot, put a toothpick underneath, put the dish 246 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 2: of the boric acid ant formula that's on the website 247 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 2: boptanem dot com recipes, So if you want to look 248 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 2: that up, that is there, or if you want to 249 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 2: try this club soda idea. Supposedly it you pour the 250 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 2: club soda, no sugar in there, just the club soda, 251 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 2: and it will supposedly suffocate those guys. I don't know. 252 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 2: I haven't tried it. I don't have ants outdoors that 253 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 2: I have discovered. I might dig in the soil more, 254 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 2: I might discover them, but we'll go from there. Okay, 255 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 2: So that was on my mind. What's on your mind? 256 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 2: Four one, five eight eight five six zero zero, and uh, 257 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 2: that's what's going on. I'm trying to think of other 258 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 2: things going on. Mm hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I am drawing a blank. 259 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 2: Don't don't let me do that. That was the Home 260 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 2: and Garden Show. I already talked about that, Okay, So 261 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 2: I know that there are other things going on. There's 262 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 2: I do want to maybe reiterate the I had a 263 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 2: couple of interviews for some books this last winter that 264 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 2: came out early spring. As they're really good vegetable garden books. 265 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 2: So if you're gonna get any new vegetable garden books 266 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 2: this spring to get you motivated to do some different 267 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 2: things in the The first one was Vibrant Harvest. This 268 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 2: book is it was by it was yet it is 269 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 2: by Sandra Mao Mo And she has a Instagram page 270 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 2: that's very active and it's Sandra dot Urban Garden. It's 271 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 2: a little at symbol Sandra dot Urbangarden. Now she has this. 272 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 2: She has this daily blog blog as well, and she 273 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 2: talks to people online a lot. But her book is 274 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 2: called Vibrant Harvest and it's just loaded with all of 275 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 2: those alternative vegetables that have color and more taste and 276 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 2: more stuff because they have more color. So you know, 277 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 2: the more colorful your vegetables are, actually you get a 278 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 2: little bit more vitamin action, that's what they say. So 279 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 2: that is a book that can guide you to things 280 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 2: that you can grow this summer. Start them now, because hey, 281 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 2: you know, we're gonna have some warm season. Someone who's 282 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 2: asked me the other day was it okay to with 283 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 2: their tomatoes in the ground, And I don't believe. So 284 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 2: I think we're going to get a cold snap that's 285 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 2: going to get pretty nasty after, you know, during April sometime. 286 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 2: It could happen. I know last year was very mild, 287 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 2: so I don't know what to base it on where 288 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 2: the winter was what it was, but the summer was 289 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 2: very mild. It didn't get super duper hot like the 290 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 2: year before. So I'm wondering whether or not that's going 291 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 2: to be a trend that we have to deal with 292 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 2: coming up. Some of us really do relish and some 293 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 2: plants really do relish that extra heat, but why are 294 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 2: we having it in late March. I don't know mid 295 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 2: March and whether or not that will last through the 296 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 2: beginning of April. We had a bit of wind, so 297 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 2: we're looking for the more wind, you know, and we're 298 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 2: looking for that little bit of spring shower, you know, 299 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 2: some rain coming up. But I don't know what will 300 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 2: happen this year. If you have some insight, let me know. 301 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 2: You want to talk about the weather, it's okay too. 302 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 2: So that's that's an idem coming up with. I'm trying 303 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 2: to you know, I'm a little bit concerned because you know, 304 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 2: there are fruit trees that really do need that colder snap, 305 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 2: and we didn't have long enough cold snap this year, 306 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 2: and that worries that production. So you know, it'll be 307 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 2: interesting to see how the the you know, how the 308 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 2: fruit population will come up. Those that need a milder summer, 309 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 2: I mean winter, milder, mild winter, they'll be perfectly happy. 310 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 2: But those fruit trees that really wanted that cold longer, 311 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 2: you know, may be less likely to put out a 312 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 2: lot of fruit. So we can expect that cuit as 313 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 2: should do fine. Probably everybody's got overloaded in lemons right now, 314 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 2: but hopefully your oranges are coming along as well. I 315 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 2: always wondered about that they never all come out at once, 316 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 2: but you know, oranges are interesting. All different kinds of 317 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 2: oranges will fruit at different times of the year, and yeah, 318 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 2: kind of interesting factors on that. I do have an 319 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 2: orange tree in the backyard in my Sandarfel house, and 320 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 2: there is quite a lot of production on it that 321 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 2: does seem to do something year round, and then there 322 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 2: will be an optimum time of the year when the 323 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 2: fruit will pretty much all ripen at once. Now, this 324 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 2: is a standard orange which I need to try to 325 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 2: prune back just so that the harvesting will be easier, 326 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 2: but that is yet to come. I have a very 327 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 2: agile son who could get up there and get some 328 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 2: good pruning done and We're just trying to find out 329 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 2: when is the best time because as soon as the 330 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 2: fruit is done, the flowers start to come, and you know, 331 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 2: it's a difficult. It's difficult to time the best time 332 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 2: to prune that guy before you lose a lot of 333 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 2: the fruit because the fruit is just delicious. And what 334 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 2: is it? It's a Washington is it nabl Washington Nabel? 335 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 2: I think is what it is. Yeah, I think it's 336 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 2: a Washington Nabel. Anyway, eight oh eight five six zero 337 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 2: zero four one five area code eight eight five six 338 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 2: zero zero. And we can talk about your garden, which 339 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 2: will be a little bit more fascinating than mine. We 340 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 2: can talk about maybe some issues that you were talking about. 341 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 2: Oh as somebody was asking me back to the tomato 342 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 2: idea before I go to my next break here, I 343 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 2: believe it's going to be iffy. And if you don't 344 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 2: have it a way to protect those tomatoes for cold 345 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 2: weather that might be coming up, don't I don't want 346 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 2: to put them in the ground. I'll put them in 347 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 2: five gallon cans right now, put them out in the sun, 348 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 2: put them outside. But I would not plant them in 349 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 2: the ground at that point, I believe were we will 350 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 2: be okay after April, but I think April could throw 351 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 2: some very interesting surprises at us. So don't mark my words. 352 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 2: I didn't read the Farmer's almend, although that would be 353 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 2: a good reference, wouldn't it. And we can double check 354 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 2: to see what our season will be. It will be 355 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 2: interesting this year. I think that's that's the long and 356 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 2: the short of it.

Good morning, Ray, 371 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 2: how are you this morning? 372 00:21:58,359 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 3: Good morning? 373 00:21:59,200 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 2: Hi? Ray? 374 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 3: There you are Yeah, can you hear me speak of nay? 375 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 3: He mentioned a way back that we really should not 376 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 3: tran to plant a lemon tree, but if we did, 377 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 3: what to do? 378 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 2: Yes, So basically you just well kind of I mean yes, 379 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 2: I mean he always had everything. He almost I don't, okay. 380 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 2: I'm thinking back and thinking back and thinking back, and 381 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 2: I'm thinking that in Santa Venetia, we always had a 382 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 2: fairly dramatic frost in our little valley and there wasn't 383 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 2: any other place there was There were no places to 384 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 2: really plant a citrus in the ground that I remember. 385 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 2: We had an interest, we had changes that I grew 386 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 2: up with as well. On the top of the hill, 387 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 2: so we were above the valley of the nursery. But 388 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 2: every year the nursery citrus would go through some frost 389 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 2: that would hurt more, you know, sometimes more than others. 390 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 2: But the point that he would be talking about a 391 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 2: lemon is that. And here in my neighborhood a lot 392 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 2: of people do really well with lemons, and they're always 393 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 2: putting them up on their little fences and saying, you know, 394 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 2: when they share them. And he's had one, my dad 395 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 2: had one, and a container that's still in the same 396 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 2: pot that he planted it in, probably the same time 397 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 2: he did that Christmas cactus which is the Valentine's Day 398 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 2: cactus now. And I think that was you know, at 399 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 2: least ten years ago that that was transplanted into just 400 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 2: they what he called a larger pot. But it never 401 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 2: got into a fifteen gallon container. It's actually in a 402 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 2: container that's more eighteen inches and it is so root bound, 403 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 2: but it blooms and it fruits every single year, and 404 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 2: you know, I mean, I guess you know that's where 405 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,160 Speaker 2: the history of that plant goes. But I would say, 406 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 2: if you are talking about anything with citrus, you know, 407 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,479 Speaker 2: with pruning or with transplanting or anything that's going to 408 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,679 Speaker 2: set it back, you've got to make sure that the 409 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 2: weather is with you. So normally you don't want to 410 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 2: prune it until the end of March. You don't want 411 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 2: to transplant them until the weather is consistently warm but 412 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 2: not hot. So if I was talking about this coming week, 413 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 2: I'd say, don't transplant anything, okay, because it's going to 414 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 2: get We're going to have a heat wave, which is 415 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 2: really awkward. The summer year after this heat wave is 416 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 2: over and it starts to cool down, then I would 417 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 2: transplant it. I would go ahead and put it in 418 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 2: the ground if that is your preference. 419 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I have. But you know, I know people 420 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 3: who are fishermen and sometimes they'll bring some of the 421 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 3: smaller fish back or to cut up fish, and they'll 422 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 3: use it in the base of planting something, and we 423 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 3: that can we do it in the pot? 424 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 2: First of all, yes, you can. You have to make 425 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 2: sure that it's not necessarily closer than two inches, right, 426 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 2: So you want to bury it to the toward the 427 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 2: bottom of the pot compared to what you're going to 428 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 2: be planting over it. So if you're transplanting a citrus 429 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 2: on top of it, to make sure there's at least 430 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 2: two inches where you've buried the fish so then they 431 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 2: have time to decompose before the roots go in. Yeah. 432 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 3: Oh yes, I see. Now the other thing I'm cleaning 433 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 3: out and I found your dad's aunt recipe. Would you 434 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 3: like to have it? 435 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 2: Oh? Sure, Yeah, it's also on the website. Uh huh, 436 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 2: go ahead and tail its well. 437 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 3: See if this is it, I wrote it down a 438 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 3: long time ago. The paper's even brown now. Four cups water, 439 00:25:54,240 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 3: one cup sugar, four teaspoons boric acid, boil cool and 440 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 3: put in the pathway of ants. 441 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 2: That it's right, that's the one, yep. 442 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 4: It. 443 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 2: Just make sure if you do have critters around, absolutely, 444 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 2: you just want to make sure that critters don't lick 445 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 2: that up, because that would be poisonous to them. So 446 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 2: you can cover that with maybe a clay pot, a 447 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 2: small clay pot. After you put it in the little dishes, 448 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 2: little bottle caps and stuff, and put that in their path. 449 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 2: But make sure that no other animals can get to it. 450 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 2: All right, Thank you Ray very much for calling. Let's 451 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 2: go to Dana in Los Gatos. Good morning, how are 452 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 2: you this morning? 453 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 5: Good morning, I'm good, how are you good? 454 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 2: Good? Good? Good? Ready for spring? 455 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 5: I heard, I think it was on the internet that 456 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,719 Speaker 5: you could take a strawberry, a fresh strawberry, cut it 457 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 5: in half and put it in a flower pot, skin 458 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 5: and cover with soil, and a plant would grow. A 459 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 5: strawberry would grow. Have you heard of that? 460 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 2: Yeah? See, a strawberry is the seed of the plant, 461 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 2: all right, So it is better if you allow that 462 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 2: strawberry to dry out a bit and then it'll drop 463 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 2: the seeds out. Then you can take those seeds and 464 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 2: go ahead and start the seeds either in the ground 465 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 2: or in the window with a wet paper towel. There's 466 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 2: a lot of different ways you can do that, but 467 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,120 Speaker 2: it does take a very long time from seed till 468 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 2: fruiting plant. My d brothers of course, is to run 469 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 2: to the nursery and get some starts. You know, i'd 470 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 2: ever go to the nursery. But yes, it would work. 471 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 2: It just may not be one hundred percent successful because 472 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 2: it has to wait for the fruit of the leftover 473 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 2: strawberry to rot before the seed would be viable to grow. 474 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 5: Okay, so well, maybe I'll just give it a try 475 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 5: for fun. 476 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 2: I would Yeah, exactly. They rot pretty quickly, so you know. 477 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, when I heard it, I thought, that doesn't 478 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 5: seem right. I don't see how that would work. 479 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 2: I've seen these fast forward videos that they do, and 480 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 2: you know, they do them all over and they're pretty funny. 481 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 2: They're pretty Yeah, they're pretty interesting. It's like, oh, yeah, 482 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 2: you can do this plant this apple in this whatever 483 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 2: thing and you'll get a plant that has both fruit. 484 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 5: And you're like, right, yeah, it seems like almost too 485 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 5: good to be true. So I just go, Yeah, strawberries 486 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 5: all over my yard, and then plants are going to grow. 487 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 2: That's awesome. Hey, you know, you never know if they'll 488 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 2: just get the right formula of that rotting flesh versus 489 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 2: the viable seed as they see these as I say, 490 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 2: the seeds are all on the outside of the strawberry fruit. 491 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 2: And that's what you eat.

There's this one guy I follow, No, 506 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 2: two people I follow that I'd like to share. One 507 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 2: is the forager, the Black She calls herself the Black Forager, 508 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 2: and she is so entertaining. But she also is extremely 509 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 2: knowledgeable with horticulture and literally wild growing plants. So she 510 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 2: educates people all the time and anyway, and she's very 511 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 2: entertaining to watch, so I like her a lot. And 512 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 2: then the other person that I follow recently is this 513 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 2: guy called Planthony. His name is Anthony, of course, and 514 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 2: he works in a garden shop up in Washington, and 515 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 2: he is okay political, okay, okay, I'm sorry, but yeah, 516 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 2: he does go go into the politics unfortunately a little bit. 517 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 2: But he always looks at plants to calm you down, right, 518 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 2: So no matter what you're feeling, you can always go 519 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 2: to the plants. And he teaches different things, but he 520 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 2: is mostly entertaining. I don't know if anyone has found 521 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 2: him or not, but he popped up in my feet, 522 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 2: and now, of course I I've followed him. And now 523 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 2: there's others that are coming up that are trying to 524 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 2: do the quirky houseplant thing. And it's kind of funny. 525 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 2: But I didn't know there was this big event in 526 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 2: southern California that is a was a big house plant convention. 527 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 2: I can't remember plant con or something. I've never heard 528 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 2: about it, and that, you know, don't know if anyone 529 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 2: ever has gone to that, but that would be interesting 530 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 2: to talk to people about that. But yeah, so the 531 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 2: interesting things that happened. Oh oh, and I was, oh, well, 532 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 2: a couple of things. The Farmer's Almanac, it does tell 533 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 2: us spring twenty twenty six is going to be warm 534 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 2: and dry for our area all the way through Arizona, 535 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 2: Utah and the next state over. Oh my gosh, my 536 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 2: geology geography just took a dump. And then chili and 537 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 2: damp up in northern the northern Oregon and Washington, interesting 538 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 2: warm and wet down in the southern californ the southern 539 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 2: part of the United States. So they do kind of 540 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 2: go into prediction of what it will be and then 541 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 2: they have scorching and dry for our summer. So I 542 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 2: guess you should be prepared for a scorching and dry 543 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 2: summer that covers the entire state of California. Oh my goodness. 544 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 2: I think I'll just go up to Seattle, where it'll 545 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 2: be warm and dry instead of scorching and dry. So 546 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 2: that's the Farmer's Almanac. If you don't have a copy, 547 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 2: you can always go to their website. And this is 548 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 2: the one that has the cover with the orange on 549 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 2: top and the green down below. And for some reason 550 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 2: I can't seem to concentrate enough to find the website 551 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 2: do do do Farmer's Almanac for the year twenty twenty six, 552 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 2: so you can get a copy. I can't believe I 553 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 2: did that anyway, tells you where to get coins, but 554 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 2: it doesn't tell you whether the website is okay. And 555 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 2: then the other book I did an interview on actually 556 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 2: was the beginning of February. It was called The Continuous 557 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 2: vegetab and this is by Charlie NARDOZI I mentioned it. 558 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 2: I've been mentioning it every week since. But I really, 559 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 2: really really do like this book. Obviously, the guy is 560 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 2: very well educated with horticulture and vegetable gardening, and it 561 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 2: is kind of a It is written for the East Coast, 562 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 2: but it is very adaptable to us. I mean he 563 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 2: goes through fruits and berries and fruit trees, along with 564 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 2: vegetable gardening, seeding, saving seed, replanting seed, over wintering plants 565 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 2: like peppers, etc. And all of this stuff, and of 566 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 2: course herbs and such that we do well with here anyway. 567 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 2: But he talks about more perennial vegetable gardening, which I 568 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 2: think everybody should have a perennial patch or more. And 569 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 2: so that's The Continuous Vegetable Garden. Those are the two 570 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 2: books that I wanted to reiterate recommending because I just 571 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 2: thought they were just so much, so cool and well done. 572 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 2: All right, we are going to go ahead and take 573 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 2: our last break, but I would like to have more 574 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 2: calls at eight oh eight five six zero zero four 575 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 2: one five area code eight oh eight five six zero zero. 576 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:12,240 Speaker 2: Talk to you in a minute. 577 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 1: You're listening to Bob Dannam in the Garden on talk 578 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,760 Speaker 1: radio five sixty KSFO. 579 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 2: Good morning everybody.

Okay, let's 624 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,799 Speaker 2: go to Susie and Elsa Rito. Good morning, Susie. How 625 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 2: you doing? Oh no, no, no, okay, I got it. 626 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 4: The neighbor since you mentioned ants, the neighbor have a 627 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,359 Speaker 4: lemon tree and a branch partly grows over to our 628 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,280 Speaker 4: side of the fence, and I know the ants on 629 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,280 Speaker 4: one of the branch, one of the tips, and I thought, oh, 630 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 4: I know they're not good. But what do you do 631 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 4: when it's a neighbor's tree and can't should I? Can 632 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 4: I spray it or something? Or should I try to 633 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 4: find out where the water is. 634 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:37,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I would just spray it with water to 635 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 2: try to lessen, Yeah, lessen the amount of ants. That's 636 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 2: probably the best. What they're going to be doing is 637 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:49,799 Speaker 2: bringing over quite a lot of scale. Usually that'll be 638 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 2: the first thing that they bring to the plant. Sometimes 639 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 2: aphen but the worst is scale or or some other 640 00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,800 Speaker 2: you know, sucking insects like that. They are more of 641 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,359 Speaker 2: a nuisance for you, but they could be a big 642 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 2: problem for her or them or him. We just call 643 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 2: them neighbors. We're good with that, and so there really 644 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 2: isn't anything that they're doing for you or against you. 645 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 2: But they are something that if you wanted to lessen 646 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,440 Speaker 2: that amount, I would just go ahead and take a 647 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 2: strong hose and hose them down. But that's not going 648 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 2: to transfer to anything else unless you had a citrus 649 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,239 Speaker 2: that was gonna grow right next to their citrus, you know, 650 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 2: branch wise, there wouldn't be a communication there. You know, 651 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 2: there wouldn't be any transfer because that those usually they're 652 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 2: going to have one one job and only one job, 653 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 2: and that is to bring the you know, the sucking insect, 654 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,760 Speaker 2: whatever it is, up into the tree and then feed 655 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 2: off of it with the honeydew that comes from those insects. 656 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 2: So that's kind of a process that it happens. But 657 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 2: if she is having problems with her citrus, you might 658 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:05,919 Speaker 2: you know, I don't know if you talk to them 659 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:10,880 Speaker 2: or not, but it's possible that they could be becoming 660 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:15,319 Speaker 2: the citrus might be becoming weak and sick, and so 661 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 2: you might want to give them a suggestion to making 662 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 2: sure they feed it once a month citrus food organic 663 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 2: that'll make the tree stronger so that it'll resist that 664 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 2: excess amount of insects. So but that's what I would 665 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 2: tell them if you could. 666 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, and try to find the ants nest to eliminate. 667 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 4: It must be somewhere near the tree. 668 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 2: It'll be on her side of the yard, so it'll 669 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,720 Speaker 2: be on their side of the yard. So it's probably 670 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,399 Speaker 2: not something that you can you will have on your 671 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,920 Speaker 2: side at all, because they get up into the citrus 672 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 2: usually from the trunk, not always, but sometimes. I mean, 673 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,760 Speaker 2: if you saw a trail of insects along the fence, 674 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 2: that would be a different and story. You might be 675 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 2: able to follow them back and find a nest and 676 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 2: then try that club soda thing and let me know 677 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,799 Speaker 2: if it works. But if you don't have the nest, 678 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 2: that won't work. It all club soda on the ground. Yet, 679 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:22,280 Speaker 2: if you can find the nest, yeah okay, yeah, yeah, 680 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 2: I saw that on the internet, and you know how 681 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 2: reliable that is. 682 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 4: Oh dear? How about it putting some barrier around the 683 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 4: trunk to keep the ants from climbing up. 684 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 2: Well, you can do a tanglefoot. It is something that 685 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 2: becomes very messy, but you put it on. You actually 686 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,320 Speaker 2: need to wrap it in some sort of a tape 687 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 2: that will not restrict the growth of the trunk, and 688 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,960 Speaker 2: then you put the tanglefoot on that tape. That's usually 689 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 2: the neatest way to do it, and that creates a 690 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,919 Speaker 2: barrier so that the ants don't quite quite climb up 691 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 2: and bring the uh sucking insects. That's another way to 692 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 2: do it, for sure. But then again, they could get 693 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 2: there by going up your fence too, so you have 694 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 2: to find the trail of where they are first. Yeah, yeah, 695 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 2: to figure that out. Yeah all right, I want Well 696 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 2: we'll figure out what the neighbor says about that and 697 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:30,359 Speaker 2: go from the area. Yeah yeah, okay, yeah, there you go. 698 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 2: All right, Susie, thank you for calling. All right, all right, 699 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,839 Speaker 2: so that does leave one more minute or two. If 700 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,799 Speaker 2: you want to call and interrupt me, that would be great. 701 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,680 Speaker 2: Eight oh eight five six zero zero four one five 702 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 2: area code eight oh eight five six zero zero. I 703 00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,839 Speaker 2: believe I'm gonna work on trying to get Davy Tree 704 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:55,239 Speaker 2: on again. There are some things up in well, there's 705 00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 2: some things that might be going on in your garden 706 00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 2: that are uh something to keep an I on. So 707 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 2: hopefully we'll have some an expert Kenny come on and 708 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 2: talk about that. That's part of the plan. We'll work 709 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 2: on that and then go from there. Yeah, I know. 710 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 2: I kind of today's show was more like, oh right, 711 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 2: I'll just wing it, you know, and then I'm like, 712 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 2: I'm not really full of the brain power for winging. 713 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 2: It was a little low this week. So it's like 714 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,920 Speaker 2: F one racers and they have this new power system 715 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:27,840 Speaker 2: that they have to wait for the battery to charge 716 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,440 Speaker 2: before they can overtake another car. No, I have not 717 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 2: seen the China races yet, and I will later today. 718 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 2: All right, So I hope everybody is having a very 719 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,280 Speaker 2: good week. And now we're talking about tomatoes, and I said, 720 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 2: if you do have them growing indoors, put them outside. 721 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 2: This week, but make sure they're still in containers. You 722 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,239 Speaker 2: can pot them up, put them in larger containers right 723 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 2: to get them to grow on But you're gonna have 724 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 2: to protect them when the temperatures at night drop below fifty, right, 725 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 2: and you know they're gonna drop below fifty because that's 726 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 2: the time of the year we are, but the hot 727 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 2: temperatures during the daytime are going to get them to 728 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 2: speed up growth and make them very happy. So just 729 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,120 Speaker 2: be cautious of that. I know a lot of people 730 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 2: start their tomatoes in February and they go crazy this 731 00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,560 Speaker 2: time of year, and then when they're you know, if 732 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 2: they don't transplant them, they become full of might and 733 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 2: insects and all sorts of stuff that just does not 734 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 2: have a chance to get healthy after they are planted 735 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:31,359 Speaker 2: in the ground outside. So or maybe you're a little 736 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,960 Speaker 2: bit more professional and you have a greenhouse, you know, 737 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,360 Speaker 2: but you can take them out of the greenhouse this week. 738 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,479 Speaker 2: Just be cautious of the nighttime temperatures. Keep an eye 739 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 2: on that that drops
