1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff you missed in History Class A production 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: of I Heart Radio. Happy Friday, Everybody. I'm Holly Fry 3 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: and I'm Tracy V. Wilson. Tracy. We talked about m 4 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: Boise Parret this week. We sure did I level of 5 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: French history always, but I also have gotten just so 6 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: fascinated by medical history, so he was a fun one 7 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: to cover. We didn't get too deep into any gross 8 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: specifics regarding surgery. I think I did send you a 9 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: very silly ping last night where I had found a 10 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: translation of one of his works that UM mentioned a 11 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: title to a chapter that I won't say in its 12 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: um it's actual translation as I found it, because it 13 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: is a little um blue, but basically it was a 14 00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: general treatment of hot will say, p yeah, there, there's 15 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: just the more crude version of it. But what was funny. 16 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: I was trying to explain this to my husband and 17 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: he was like, why, why would anybody worry about that? 18 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: And I was like, because that's the translation that is 19 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: about urinary tract infections, Like it's addressing the burning sensation 20 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: that happens if you have a U T I And 21 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: he's like, oh, which just sent us down a road 22 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: of giggling like children because we are yep, I like you, 23 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: I found myself marveling at the time period in which 24 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: he was working. Yeah. I don't think of like all 25 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: of the religious wars and the stuff with the meta 26 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: cheese and the Huguenot uh conflicts all being a time 27 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: when there was a lot of like surgical invention going on. Yeah, 28 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: but that is exactly when he was working. I really 29 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: did just like go whoa when I briefly googled, because 30 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: I mean, we've talked about some way longer ago than 31 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: that medical and also surgical figures like like Sashruda from 32 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: way before. But still when when I when I googled 33 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: and saw the word surgeon, I expected the year to 34 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: start with more like an eighteen right. Yeah. So, uh, 35 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: we've mentioned that we have tried to like get our 36 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: social media going a little bit more at least at 37 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 1: least feature our new episodes when they come out, um when, 38 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: which has meant finding artwork and I was like, oh, no, 39 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: this is from so long ago. Is there going to 40 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: be artwork uh that that we can find and use? 41 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: And man, there are so many depictions of him, like 42 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: so many engravings that are probably from editions of his 43 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: books and then works of art and statues, and I 44 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: was like, this is so much for somebody that I 45 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: really don't think I had heard of until I asked 46 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: who you were working on for this weekend. You told me, yeah, 47 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: I mean his complete works. We mentioned that it was 48 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: republished in multiple editions. I think it got to something 49 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: like thirteen additions before it became considered like outdated enough 50 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: that they weren't necessarily reproducing it for medical texts, which 51 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: is astounding. I also had that moment of like, really, 52 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: they were using a thirteen hundred year old text by 53 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: Galen as most medical most medical colleges, and that to 54 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: me is very sobering. I mean, we in the modern era. 55 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: You know, medical knowledge shifts so quickly. You know, nothing 56 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: is ever absolute. There can always be a new discovery 57 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: that sheds light on anything. So the idea that something 58 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: hundreds of years old, I mean if we if you 59 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: went to a doctor, partially a surgeon who was being 60 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: trained in things that were from two hundred years ago, 61 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: you would be like, I gotta go. But like literally, 62 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: just in this same recording session that we recorded this episode, 63 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: we also recorded the one about the Nelson Pill hearings 64 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: that I felt like I had the caveat because the 65 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: thing I was referencing maybe in a totally different state 66 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: in two entire weeks when the episode comes out. Yeah, yeah, 67 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: which is is in some ways really really cool. I 68 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: love that we do live in an age where scientific 69 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: knowledge is forever surprising us. Um. But it's also, as 70 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: that kind of situation points out, it's tricky because we 71 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: will often do something and then publish it and it's 72 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: outdated almost instantly. Um. This is just the trick of 73 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: our lives. I think, Yeah, his history is alive and 74 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: it's happening every day. I do like that the final 75 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: book of m Boise Paray's career was this snarky exchange right. 76 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: It ended in a It ended in a reality show 77 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: of French medicine. At the time, it seems so weird 78 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: to me that someone's ego would be so great that 79 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: they would go after a man who is so obviously 80 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: beloved right by the military, by the public, by his 81 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: fellow barber surgeons before he became a master surgeon, by 82 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: the medical community because they recognized his contributions, and this 83 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: guy would go, you know what, I'm gonna make a 84 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: name for myself by picking a fight with you in public. Grandmama, 85 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: What were you thinking, dude? The humiliation that he got. 86 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. Just from the brief synopsis of of 87 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: that whole exchange, I'm like, hey, seems like you got 88 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: what was coming to you in that, right. Yeah. I'm 89 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: humans humans, everybody's got their weird thing. But I am 90 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: forever grateful by about this idea of you know, hey, 91 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: let's remember that our patients are human, that they're kind, 92 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: and then we should treat them with kindness, and that 93 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: we should treat everyone, whether they are a wealthy person 94 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: or a king, or you know, the lowest ranking person 95 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: in the battle, like they should all get the same 96 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: level of care and treatment because all of them are 97 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: worth saving. That to me is such a unique perspective 98 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: at this time when everything was about hierarchy. I mean, 99 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: we talked about even in the medical community, from barber 100 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: surgeon to surgeon to physician, how all of those petty 101 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: arguments were going on. And it's like this one dude 102 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: who's like, no, everybody be cool, let's take care of that. 103 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: The goal should be taking care of everybody, not our egos. Hey, 104 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: what I love you. I'm sure he had his faults, 105 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: they just aren't recorded for history. We talked about gardening 106 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: this week, Tracy. I alluded to my problem as a gardener. 107 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: This happens to me over and over. I'm sure this 108 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: is a soil problem. I have never gotten it to 109 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: work out right, which is that I will because I 110 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,799 Speaker 1: am a fall loving person and I love pumpkin everything. 111 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: I try to grow pumpkins all the time, and sometimes 112 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: I grow beautiful pumpkins. But every time I cracked them open, 113 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: not every time, but a lot of times. When I 114 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: cracked them open, I discover that they've had blossom rocks, 115 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: so they were forgeous on the outside, but on the 116 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: inside they're just like slimy and yuckus um, which is 117 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: the heartbreak of my soul. However, I sure do make 118 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: a lot of squash blossom case it is during the 119 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: early bloom period because they're gorgeous and usually your your 120 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: first big batches of blooms on those guys are not 121 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: going to produce any kind of vegetation, Like, you're not 122 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: going to get anything usable in terms of an actual squash. 123 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: Just pull those things off and put them in a 124 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: yummy casity, it's delicious. The other fun thing I wanted 125 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: to mention, though, which is truly one of these projects 126 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: that just captures one's imagination and it's right up my alley, 127 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: relates to our episode on Bodium Castle, because one of 128 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: the volunteers at Bodium, a woman named jan Black, has 129 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: decided that she is going to try to recreate some 130 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: of the original kinds of landscaping and plants that would 131 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: be there, using none other than the Feet of Gardening, 132 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: which I think is just absolutely brilliant. UM. I know 133 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: she was working on this several years ago, so I'm 134 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: not sure where this project is at this point. UM. 135 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: They had started like their herb garden in and then 136 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: they did UM textile plants, like plants that could be 137 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: used for dying, and then they started doing UM ornamental plants, 138 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: and so they're they're continuing. Uh. They have been in 139 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: touch with the library at Trinity College, Cambridge to have 140 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: some access to the information in the manuscript. And there 141 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 1: are eighty nine main herbs that are in that book 142 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: and so UM and another twelve plants that are mentioned, 143 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 1: and so they are are one cataloging the plants that 144 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,719 Speaker 1: are still growing at bodium because some of them are 145 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: still there that are mentioned, that have presumably been there 146 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: for all this time, just self propagating, and then they're, uh, 147 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: there are forty five remaining that they don't have, and 148 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: they're trying to see or they were as of as 149 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: see if they could start successfully propagating them. I this 150 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: is the kind of project that I love. A good checklist, yeah, um, 151 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: and a little sort of strange and marvelous effort to 152 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: recreate something. I love it. I love it, I love it. 153 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: I love it. Are you guys gardening this year? No? So? 154 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: Uh So. When I was a kid, from the time 155 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: that like as long as the earliest I can remember, um, 156 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: until my mom eventually went back to work full time, 157 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: we grew literally every vegetable that we ate, and so 158 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: there was a you know, whole the whole spring, summer 159 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: and fall was like planting and tending and harvesting and canning. 160 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: And a big part of why we eventually stopped doing 161 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: that was that, like my brother and I got to 162 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: the point that we had other interests and we weren't 163 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: necessarily around on the summer to work in the garden. Uh. 164 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: And then it's like my mom wanted to to go 165 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: back to work full time, and then that meant that, 166 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: like Mom also was not around to do all this 167 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: canning and stuff. It just wasn't feasible anymore. We talked 168 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: about starting a garden this year. We we do have 169 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: a few potted herbs. I don't think my mint made 170 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: it through the winter, which surprises me. Me too, mint 171 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: is usually they tend to be almost unkillable, but it 172 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: seems to not be living anymore, which is weird. I'm 173 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: just kind of leaving it there to be like, maybe 174 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: maybe you'll come back. But uh, Patrick wanted to start 175 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: a garden. We had had several friends that were gardening 176 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: during the pandemic, and he seemed very interested in it. 177 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: And I was like, I already manage so much of 178 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:31,199 Speaker 1: our household. I cannot add managing a garden to this, 179 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: So this is your thing. Uh. And it didn't really happen, 180 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: so we may still. Uh it kind of depends. At 181 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: this point. I feel like it's kind of for the 182 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: best because our our backyard fence is literally about to 183 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: fall down, so we need to have that repaired, and 184 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: it's probably best to not have people tramping all through 185 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: the backyard. That's maybe freshly planted with stuff. Um, but 186 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: depending on how that goes. Once our farmer's market opens 187 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: up a little later in the spring, a lot of 188 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: times they have things that have already been started in 189 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 1: their greenhouses, and so we might still get some seedlings, 190 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: get some seedlings and start from there instead of trying 191 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: to start things ourselves from seed. They're often way better off. 192 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I've started a lot of stuff from seed, 193 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: and I always end up with kind of weird, leggy situations. Whereas, yeah, 194 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: if I m am gifted plants like I was recently 195 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: by people who like are seasoned, really skilled gardeners, They're 196 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: they're much more beautiful and happier than anything I would 197 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: have started, So I'm happy to have it. That was 198 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: a little trade of I'll do some sewing for you, 199 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: which I was just gonna do. I wasn't expecting anything, 200 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: and then she showed up with like a little palette 201 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: of beautiful, beautiful plants. I do like to dig in 202 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: the dirt and plant things in the dirt, put my 203 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: success rate and then successfully seeing those things I did 204 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: keep all of my herbs alive through the whole spring, 205 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: summer and fall of last year and then the ment. 206 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: I really, I'm still like, how did this not survive 207 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: the winter? I'm not sure the ones that we brought 208 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: indoors survived on the window sill. The mint was outside 209 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: and is seemingly no longer living. Yeah, we now have 210 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: a bunch on our front porch in containers and we'll 211 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: see how they do. My roses continue to with no 212 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 1: effort from me, be very happy. I just clipped them 213 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: back and try to shape them a little. But roses 214 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: are very hardy anyway in a lot of cases, and 215 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: ours are. It's funny because, um, you know, we have 216 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: that sort of non ideal for most plants. There's a 217 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: lot of Georgia clay kind of in the in the 218 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: base of our yard. But boy do our roses love it. Um. 219 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: So I've been making lots of rose syrup this year, 220 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: rose water fresh from the We have one um species 221 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: of rose, variety of rose called a twilight zone rose, 222 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: and it blooms of very dark purple. It looks almost 223 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: black in some light, and it smells like cloves and 224 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: it makes the best rosewater n ever create, which is 225 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: pretty exciting. Yeah, our our house came with some roses. 226 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: Uh that I have tried to take some care of, 227 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: particularly cutting back the ones that are right next to 228 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: our front stairs that become increasingly aggressive. I feel like 229 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: you have a similar problem in your own yard. We do. 230 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: These ones are not a climbing variety, but they do 231 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: just send out these tendrils that are like, let's grow 232 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: right into the stairs. Uh. And they they have survived my, 233 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: uh lack of discipline regarding the flowers pretty well. I'm 234 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: I'm I'm in a little bit of a minor panic. 235 00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: I feel like I do this every year we have 236 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: too hardy hybiscus. Uh. It gets a little too cold 237 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: here for hybiscus. But there are hardy hybiscus that are 238 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: meant to be able to winter, and they die back 239 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: completely every year they're supposed to. But it is terrifying 240 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: because you're like that plant is dead. And then every 241 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: year I'm like, this is the year they never come back. 242 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: This is the year they never this is the year. 243 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: And one of them has started to really come back 244 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: very quickly, but the other is still silent, and I'm worried. 245 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: I really want my paink hybiscus back, So we'll see 246 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: what happens. Um that is my ridiculous flower story. If 247 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: anyone out there knows what I need to do in 248 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: a container garden to make my um squash actually be 249 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: beautiful and healthy, please write me. I have done various 250 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: like tests of various components of my soil and I'm 251 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: either doing it wrong or I'm too heavy handed with something. 252 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: But my mint is very happy and having a lot 253 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: of mohitos in my house right now. Um yeah uh. 254 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: We hope that you have a marvelous weekend.
