Or how do I get to 55 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 4: bloom again? And then there's a separate little room with 56 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 4: demonstrations going on each day so you can learn how 57 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 4: to do those things, which is you know what you 58 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 4: care about? 59 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, how do you divide that symbidium? 60 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 3: You know? 61 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 5: And when Yeah, it's usually more scary, so you see 62 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 5: someone do it and then you know, trying for yourself 63 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 5: and then yeah it's not that hard. 64 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, trimming the roots and that type of thing, 65 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 2: and that you know, what can you trim and the 66 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 2: plant will still survive? And all that stuff is a 67 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: good learning thing to watch someone do it first and 68 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 2: then realize, okay, maybe you don't want to do that. 69 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, people that the stems rebloom and then they cut 70 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 4: them off and it's like, oh, it was gonna bloom again. 71 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 4: Don't do that.

Yeah, and then so we were 189 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 2: talking about membership and before the break, and then we 190 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 2: were also talking about the show and the vendors coming up. 191 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 2: But I also wanted to talk a little bit about 192 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 2: the the showers. You know, the Usually the Conservatory puts 193 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 2: out a display which is always fascinating, and you know 194 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 2: that they get judged and there's how many different competitors 195 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 2: are there for the displays. 196 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, so there are twenty exhibitors. This year, the Society 197 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 4: is going to do the display. The Conservatory won't be 198 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 4: there this year, but you're right, the last several years 199 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 4: they've done the stage display, which has always been amazing, 200 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 4: So it's gonna we're gonna switch it up a little 201 00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 4: bit this year. But yeah, there's twenty booths. Each one 202 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 4: is typically about an eight foot booth. Some are on 203 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 4: the floor, some are on tables. Maybe a third of 204 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 4: them are from the vendors. The local vendors put in displays, 205 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 4: but the rest are other orchid societies or other plant societies, 206 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 4: or even an individual that have large collections and an 207 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 4: artistic player. I want to try it out, and then 208 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 4: members that are going to do the stage display of 209 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 4: the Society we bring in our plants and then we 210 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 4: put it all together again volunteer thing, and it's fun 211 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 4: if you've never done it, to bring in what you've 212 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 4: got blooming. It's a little tricky because you usually don't 213 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 4: know till a day or two before what you're really 214 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 4: going to have that's going to look good. So that's 215 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 4: the same like a professional floral thing, right, Yeah. 216 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty that's pretty exciting that I'm looking forward 217 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 2: to that a lot of cool. 218 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 4: We get there, we're usually it takes us like all 219 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 4: week to set up, in like a couple of hours 220 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 4: to tear it down. But ye Wednesday we're in there 221 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 4: building it and putting all the plants in and getting 222 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 4: it judged on Thursday before it opens for the preview night, 223 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 4: and then yeah, Friday through Sunday pretty much the same. 224 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 4: I was gonna mention Also, people always ask how much 225 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 4: is it? It's not free, but it's pretty reasonable. So we 226 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 4: have a weekend path that's good Friday through Sunday. That 227 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 4: is fifteen dollars at the door and twelve dollars online 228 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 4: which is being sold again through event right, and then 229 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 4: if the senior student discount, that's about third less. So 230 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 4: I think it's ten dollars at the door, eight dollars 231 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 4: in advance. The preview night is more expensive. It's like 232 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 4: seventy five dollars to get in because of the food 233 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 4: and the wine and it's a fundraiser, but they're is 234 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 4: a senior discount for that as well. And then the 235 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 4: Sunday only tickets are the cheapest. Those are ten dollars 236 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 4: at the door or five dollars for senior students, but 237 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 4: they don't go on sale ahead of time, so you 238 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 4: have to just show up. There'll be plenty of tickets, 239 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 4: but most people want to come early or come back, 240 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 4: and so we've just simplified ticketing to mostly just have 241 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 4: a weekend pass. Ye other questions, so, oh, parking, people 242 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 4: always say hard are you going to park? It's so hard, 243 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 4: there's no place market there. But the secret place park 244 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 4: is to go up to this so late, so it 245 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 4: sounds far away, but actually once you get up there 246 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 4: and you park past the boat house, there's usually lots 247 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 4: of parking all day on the weekend, and you can 248 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 4: walk down and come out by the Japanese Sea Garden. 249 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 4: So the other thing I tell folks is once you've 250 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 4: done the effort of going in and parking, like stay longer, 251 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 4: you can actually go visit the Botanical Garden or the 252 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 4: Japanese Tea Garden, or Academy of Sciences or even you 253 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 4: know the Conservatory of Flowers, which is also part of 254 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 4: the gardens of Golden Gate Park with the Botanical Garden. 255 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 4: It's a beautiful orchid display. In fact, I volunteer there 256 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 4: almost every week and if you have the time, you 257 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 4: should go over there. You know, it's the one that 258 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 4: looks like the white sort of Victorian England kind of 259 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 4: looking glasshouse right. 260 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 2: The street. 261 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 4: It's a little bit of a lot, but it's in 262 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 4: Golden Gate Park worth checking out if you have the time. 263 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 4: And that's why we quit talking about the venue being 264 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 4: the Hall of Flowers, which is what it's also called, 265 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 4: because people got confused and thought it was a Conservatory. 266 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 2: Of Flowers on the other side. 267 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 4: The other side Fulton and eight ten. So anyway, it's 268 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 4: a great place check those things out while you're coming 269 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 4: and parked there and you can get a little more 270 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 4: time if the weather's good, you'll enjoy it. 271 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 2: So oh, absolutely. 272 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,880 Speaker 4: Lots of places to eat. So if you haven't really 273 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 4: been in the area much, all along ninth and Irving 274 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 4: just blocks away, there's you know, literally you know, fifty 275 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 4: plus little restaurants of all sorts to go grab food 276 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 4: and come back. So we don't usually have food available 277 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 4: for except for the volunteers, so keep their work right. 278 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 2: So if you're there visiting, then you're you're gonna need 279 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 2: to plan a little bit of a side step. Either 280 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 2: a picnic in the park of course, which is always 281 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 2: something you could do, or go to one of the 282 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 2: wonderful restaurants just right outside the park right there on 283 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 2: around Ninth and Lincoln and Irving and all that cool. 284 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,959 Speaker 4: Yeah, and sometimes there's a great food trust too if 285 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 4: you don't want to venture too far.

Yeah cool, what else is going on? Oh? 385 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 2: Oh my god? Okay, so every inch of my body 386 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 2: hurts like crazy this morning, because yesterday was my annual 387 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 2: trip to New Beginnings to prune the Tannam Green Rose 388 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 2: garden in the middle of the quad at New Beginnings. 389 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 2: At the New Beginnings they think of a homeward bound 390 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 2: so much fun. Actually, I always when I'm right there 391 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 2: in the quad there, it's like the central area where 392 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 2: people will be walking by. Yesterday was a day they 393 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 2: got to have their you know that someone came in 394 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 2: as a barber to cut hair and stuff like that. 395 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 2: So there were quite a number of people that would 396 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 2: come out that then they would wait for their turn 397 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 2: and they'd be watching me prune the roses. Now, I 398 00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 2: had three elements, three tools at my disposal to prune 399 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 2: these things, and one of them was a pruning shear. 400 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 2: Know what you call it? Lopper? Yeah, I'm gonna call 401 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 2: it ale lopper because I can't figure out what else 402 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 2: to call these things anyway, and it would it can 403 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 2: it can actually cut a three inch trunk from you know, 404 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 2: from anything. And I did use it multiple times actually 405 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 2: to prune these very old roses that have been in 406 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 2: there since my dad planted them. Gosh, I don't even 407 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 2: know how many years ago. Probably right around two thousand, 408 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 2: so now nah, probably not. The rose garden was probably 409 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 2: built much later than the vegetable garden, but the vegetable 410 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 2: garden was started around two thousand, and David showed me 411 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 2: everything that's going on there too, which you know, is 412 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 2: a huge difference that he's working on. There's some other 413 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 2: areas that are being developed as well to do vegetables, 414 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 2: but the majority of it is he was showing me 415 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 2: the winter vegetables and the cabbage, lots of cabbage, and 416 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 2: then they're going to actually grow that napacala cabbage too, 417 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 2: which I had learned about when we did the other 418 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 2: author that's right over here, Vibrant Harvest, if you didn't 419 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 2: get that interview is also recorded, so you can learn 420 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,199 Speaker 2: about Vibrant Harvest from the interview that I did with 421 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 2: the author and Sandra Mao, and she's in southern California. 422 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 2: So that was a really good book to introduce me 423 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,199 Speaker 2: to some vegetables that I just really didn't even think about. 424 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 2: And it's kind of fun because these new vegetables are really, 425 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 2: you know, coming out and being explored, and I'm hearing 426 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 2: the names come back again. So that and I think 427 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 2: if you hook up with rare seeds and do some 428 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 2: of these searches for some of the these new vegetable 429 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,880 Speaker 2: varieties that are more perennial or could be perennial anyway, 430 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 2: tons of things going on in my brain is like, wow, 431 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 2: this is pretty exciting. So at new Beginnings, we're not 432 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 2: doing that. David isn't doing that. But he did discover 433 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 2: something about where see, he would get offers or suppliers 434 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 2: that would sell them fishheads and fish parts and you 435 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 2: know Alaska fish whatever, and he would usually dig out 436 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 2: a trench literally a very lower than the ground trench 437 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 2: that was about eight to twelve eight to ten inches 438 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 2: I think, and then he would put the fish down 439 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 2: there and then backfill all the rest of the really 440 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 2: great organic soil. But he also discovered that putting the 441 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 2: fish too far down then it couldn't act as a 442 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 2: then reproducing fertilizer for the plants above it. They were 443 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 2: too far apart. It would discourage the gophers, but it 444 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 2: would not necessarily feed the plants. While the time, you know, 445 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,880 Speaker 2: at the time when the fish were ready to rot, 446 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 2: the fish is almost rotted when they put it in 447 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 2: the ground. By the way, yes, it's stinky, but it 448 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 2: was kind of it was a for me, it was 449 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,719 Speaker 2: an advantageous thing. So if you know, if you have 450 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 2: connections to the fish, there are several ways of feeding 451 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 2: your garden. Let's put it that way. There's wherever you live, 452 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 2: there's going to be something that you could work out 453 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 2: an arrangement to harvest if you're real savvy with that, 454 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 2: making friends, you know, basically the old farmer down the road. 455 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 2: If you're looking for something that you might want to 456 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 2: add to your garden, you may want to reach out 457 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 2: to someone who has a fishery, someone who has a 458 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 2: horse farm, or somebody who has a sheep farm or 459 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 2: chicken chickens in their backyard or something like that, and 460 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 2: they've got too much manure, you know, just make a 461 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 2: connection and get some yummy stuff for your garden. All right, 462 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 2: let's go to Anne in Half Moon Bay. Good morning 463 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 2: and welcome. How are you today? 464 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 7: Good morning? I'm fine, And I would like to know 465 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 7: what kind of fertilizer to do for fruit trees and winds. 466 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 2: I would start now with fruit trees because the weather 467 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 2: is just so weird, and I would go ahead and 468 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 2: use chicken manure and alfalfa in the early part of 469 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 2: the season. So if you've pruned your fruit trees and 470 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 2: you're ready to start fertilizing, I would start the early season. 471 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 2: Fertilizer is just the organic stuff the chicken manure if 472 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 2: you can get a hold of it, or manure of 473 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 2: any sort. And then also the alfalfa, so alfalfa pellots 474 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 2: are your micro microiza. Fertilizer gets them active so that 475 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 2: they can mulch through the manure, and then the manure 476 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 2: feeds the tree. So all of that combination is a 477 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 2: good way to start your your fruit tree fertilizer in 478 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 2: the spring. Then later on in the after they are 479 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 2: developing their fruit, I would go ahead and fertilize them 480 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 2: with the organic evy stone or there's doctor Earth. There's 481 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,719 Speaker 2: a few organic fertilizers that might be available at your 482 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 2: local nursery that you can buy in the bigger bags 483 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 2: and go ahead and put those out on the fruit 484 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 2: trees through the summer. 485 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 7: Okay, sounds good.

If you are familiar 503 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 2: this time of year, when you're traveling up north on 504 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 2: Highway one oh one, which I do often, there's this 505 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 2: wonderful what do you call it fragrance? Yes, not a 506 00:31:55,840 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 2: black orchid fragrance was, but a fragrance of manure. And 507 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 2: this is the I think it's the steer manure that 508 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 2: I think is collected from, or the cow cow manure. 509 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 2: And so what they do is they gather it up, 510 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 2: gather it up, gather it up and then they cover 511 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 2: the entire thing with black plastic to get it to cook. 512 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 2: So on a day like today where the weather is 513 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 2: nice and warm and everything else is going on, you 514 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 2: just go ahead and make sure that you've got that 515 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 2: thing cooking. Any compost heap can take that extra cooking 516 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 2: by being covered in black plastic, so keep that in mind, 517 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 2: and that will make it cook down faster so you 518 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 2: can use it for your spring gardening, fertilizing and all 519 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 2: the rest of that stuff. There's always the liquid fertilizer 520 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 2: that you can make yourself just by putting composts in 521 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 2: a bucket, letting it sit overnight, and then using that liquid. 522 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 2: Let's go to John before they break here. John's from 523 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 2: San Jose. Good morning, John, how are you? 524 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 3: I'm fine, Thank you. I bought some bulbs Begonia bulbs 525 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 3: at Costco and I've tried it before. They didn't work, 526 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 3: but I want to give it another shot. And it's 527 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 3: set in instructions to leave them out at room temperature 528 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 3: for a couple of weeks before planting them. Do you 529 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 3: concur with that? 530 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 7: Uh? 531 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, they do want to dry out, so you want 532 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 2: to make sure that that mulch isn't rotting the bulb, 533 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 2: but also they want to They are also telling you 534 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 2: that they may have been pre frozen during you know, 535 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 2: in a cold whatever you call it, cold storage through 536 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 2: the winter. It's a little bit early to plant them 537 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 2: out into the plant, you know, into the ground, but 538 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 2: probably in about another month is what I would do. 539 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 2: So you could leave them in the packages that you 540 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,959 Speaker 2: bought them from for another couple of weeks, then bring 541 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 2: them out for another couple of weeks to get them 542 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 2: completely dried out and thawed, and then after that go 543 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,719 Speaker 2: ahead and plant them in your baskets or your pots 544 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 2: or your ground whatever you're going to put them in, 545 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 2: and they will adjust and then start taking off. Remember 546 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 2: not to bury them. You always want to see that corm, 547 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,760 Speaker 2: like maybe half of the corm is under the ground 548 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 2: and the half is above. 549 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,919 Speaker 3: Oh you know that. I'm glad you told me. Maybe 550 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,800 Speaker 3: that's why the last ones didn't survive. 551 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't bear it. 552 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:34,720 Speaker 3: I have another question. I'm gonna I got to trim 553 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 3: my cherry tree. And he used to say cut back 554 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,919 Speaker 3: half of the new growth. Well, I don't see much 555 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 3: new growth on it, and I'm just wondering if you'd 556 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 3: give me any hints on trimming the cherry tree. Pruning 557 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,280 Speaker 3: the cherry tree. 558 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 2: Well, according to Edlivo, who was on My show last week, 559 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 2: he says, the cherries and the apricots shouldn't be pre 560 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 2: in the winter. And I concur because you're gonna lose 561 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 2: your fruit at this time of the year when you 562 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 2: prune it back. So I would wait until after the 563 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 2: cherry has done its thing and then give it a 564 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 2: really hard midsummer like July or maybe August cut back, 565 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 2: and at that point it won't really matter. At that 566 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 2: point you can call it cut it to size rather 567 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 2: than worry about where the new growth was. And if 568 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 2: you cut it to size, then the following year you'll 569 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 2: be able to hopefully, you know, have enough of the 570 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 2: cherry population by covering the tree and making sure that 571 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 2: the birds don't get it or the worm doesn't get 572 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 2: lay their eggs in there. The matha matha gets those 573 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 2: little worms in the cherries. There's a technical term anyway, 574 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 2: So yes, I would go ahead and take a look 575 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 2: at that and try not to prune them in the winter. Okay, 576 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 2: all right, we're gonna take your Yeah, it does all right, 577 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 2: Thanks for calling all right, we're going to take our 578 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 2: last break of the morning, and then we're going to 579 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 2: take Joan and whoever else wants to get a call 580 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 2: in this morning. Eight to eight five six zero zero 581 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 2: four one five area code. Be right back. 582 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,320 Speaker 1: You're listening to Bob Danam in the Garden on talk radio. 583 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,320 Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and continue to take callers. We are 584 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 2: taking calls eight to eight five six zero zero. Something 585 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 2: else came up in my brain and I promptly forgot it, 586 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 2: but let's go to Joan in Pleasant Hell. Good morning, Joan. 587 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 5: Good morning eighty. 588 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,879 Speaker 8: I have a question about how do you get rid 589 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 8: of moss in the lawn and garden. 590 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,320 Speaker 7: I have play boil, and I don't know when. 591 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,399 Speaker 8: To do, whatever I should do and what to. 592 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 2: Do well I have We've done some experimentation with a 593 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 2: bit of pH changing stuff. One of them is aluminium sulfate, 594 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 2: which is the stuff the particular material that you normally 595 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 2: play with hydrangea color with that's one of them. Then 596 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 2: the I think iron sulfate goes the other direction to 597 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,720 Speaker 2: the red, but the blue is the illumine and sulfate 598 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 2: to turn your pink hydraine to blue that can kill 599 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 2: off moss. And then there was something else that came 600 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 2: to my mind that you could use in the garden 601 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:15,320 Speaker 2: and not upset things too much. Was it a pH 602 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 2: changer or not. There are other sprays and such that 603 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 2: you can use in the garden, but a lot of 604 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,879 Speaker 2: them are made for the walkway and where they're not 605 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:29,320 Speaker 2: really considering that it will end up in the garden soil. 606 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 2: So you want to make sure that you're checking the 607 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 2: label if you buy a commercial product. But aluminum sulfate 608 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,839 Speaker 2: is my first. But there was something else. Oh, sometimes 609 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,800 Speaker 2: if you if you you shoot them some sort of 610 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:47,720 Speaker 2: an or oh, like I know, maybe this might okay, 611 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 2: this would be something to experiment with. Don't take my word, 612 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 2: but I'm thinking that you could probably dust out some urea, 613 00:37:56,160 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 2: you know, just that those little white balls. We use 614 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 2: them in my day job a lot. But I'm thinking 615 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 2: of the amount of nitrogen that those push there are 616 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 2: like a forty six zero zero nitrogen, so other things 617 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 2: around it may go crazy with growth, but in the 618 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 2: meantime you could put that on and that should burn 619 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,920 Speaker 2: out the moss. Well that's my theory. That's my idea. 620 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 2: If anyone else has any other ideas, let me know, 621 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,800 Speaker 2: but that's the one I'm sticking with for now. But no, 622 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 2: I would do aluminum self. Haate to try that out first. 623 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 2: I remember that was part of that. Yeah, okay, wonderful, 624 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 2: Thank you Joan for my water. Yeah, well, no, you 625 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 2: put it on dry, let it bur do its burning 626 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,840 Speaker 2: job first, and then you can water it in later. 627 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 2: But let it take its time to decompose and burn 628 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,320 Speaker 2: out the moss first as a powder. 629 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 7: Okay, will it burn my lawn, man? 630 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 2: Yes, it will burn out a little bit of the lawn. 631 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 2: Is this something that in the lawn is the moss? 632 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 7: I have one with moss, and I have the garden 633 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 7: with moss, and I have the walkways with moss or 634 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 7: everything it's gotten. 635 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, the walkways would be very simple. The open open 636 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 2: ground areas no problem. You just let it sit there. 637 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,879 Speaker 2: But in the lawn, I'm thinking you might just try 638 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 2: that urea and see what happens. 639 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,279 Speaker 7: Okay, we're gonna try. 640 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:34,919 Speaker 2: Also at the nursery. Can buy it at the nursery. Yeah, yeah, 641 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 2: do it in a small area first. You're very welcome, Joan. 642 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 2: Always test before you. 643 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:43,279 Speaker 4: Go. 644 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,759 Speaker 2: Whold hog? All right, sounds good. All right, let's take 645 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,840 Speaker 2: Steve in pleasant and good morning, Steve. How are you today? 646 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 4: Oh? 647 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:52,760 Speaker 8: Hi, I'm doing good. 648 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:53,279 Speaker 4: Thank you. 649 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 650 00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 8: The question I had was, I have a Fuji tree. 651 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 8: It's about twenty five thirty years old. It's a good 652 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:07,400 Speaker 8: sized tree, producers a boatload of apples, really good tasting apples, 653 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,319 Speaker 8: but about half of them end up with worms every year. 654 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 8: What do I spray to pick side and when? 655 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,840 Speaker 2: Good? Question? Well, I'm gonna go back to last weekend's 656 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:25,319 Speaker 2: radio show. Ed Livo does have an interesting theory. This 657 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 2: may or may not work for you, especially if the 658 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,000 Speaker 2: tree is nice and big it gives you lots of 659 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 2: apples every year, but eventually maybe start to tease that 660 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:38,919 Speaker 2: pruning system down so that you can get a grow 661 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 2: grow bag tree cover over that entire apple to put 662 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,360 Speaker 2: on during the blooming season or right before the blooming season. 663 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 2: The reason I recommend that is because that moth that 664 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:54,160 Speaker 2: lays the egg lays it in the flour, okay, and 665 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 2: then it develops and grows and becomes the worm that 666 00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,840 Speaker 2: you see in your apple. So that's the cycle that 667 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,839 Speaker 2: you want to break, and that's one way to do it. 668 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 2: The second way to do it organically is to spray 669 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 2: a beneficial nematodes, which are very expensive, but you can 670 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 2: buy them at the nursery. You can buy them online. 671 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 2: You want to make sure if you go to a 672 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 2: nursery to buy the beneficial nematodes, they have them refrigerated. Okay, 673 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 2: that's how you should buy them is from a refrigerator, 674 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 2: because they do have it's a live bug, right thing. 675 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 2: You would soak that in water over night or in 676 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 2: a dark area, you soak them in water. You can 677 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,840 Speaker 2: soak them overnight or you can soak them for a 678 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,959 Speaker 2: few hours, and then at night is when you want 679 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,320 Speaker 2: to spray them into the tree. So you got to 680 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 2: get that material separated from the They put them in 681 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,279 Speaker 2: a vermiculi I think, or however they wanted to do 682 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,799 Speaker 2: some sort of thing that flows that you can scoop out, 683 00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 2: and then the rest of that water goes into a 684 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,839 Speaker 2: spray and you spray it up in the tree. At night. 685 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,359 Speaker 2: Then those little buggers find their shade before the sun 686 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 2: comes out, and they do their little thing and they 687 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,759 Speaker 2: find whatever food they can find, which if it's at 688 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 2: the right time of year, can be that worm. So 689 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,359 Speaker 2: those are the cycles to consider. Uh. And then there's 690 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,439 Speaker 2: one more cycle to break, and that can be when 691 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 2: the fruit falls with the worm before they are released 692 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,239 Speaker 2: into the air as a moth. Again, you can put 693 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:32,360 Speaker 2: the artificial artificial the beneficial neme of toades on the 694 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,400 Speaker 2: ground around the tree and that can also break the cycle. 695 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,480 Speaker 2: Try that once. So those are things that the organic way. 696 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,399 Speaker 4: And that's after the fruit and they starting right, that's 697 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,759 Speaker 4: the the I would do it. 698 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 8: I would do it after blues to spray the. 699 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,360 Speaker 2: Right yes, right, when you begin halfway through the bloom season, 700 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:55,880 Speaker 2: you would spray the name of toads up into the 701 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 2: tree at night. Yeah. 702 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 4: Interesting, Okay, well, thank you very much. 703 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 2: Sure, thank you for calling.
