Speaker 1 (00:12):
Our total free number on this Easter weekend eight hundred
(00:38):
eight two three eight two five five. Good morning. I
am Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy talking about yardening.
It is Easter weekend, good Friday yesterday, and of course
that's uh brings back old memories for me, because that's
a way back when they used to be like the
kickoff or the gardening per se, vegetable gardening and cleaning up,
getting anythings ready, cool seasoned crops and all that bare
(01:01):
root plants. That was the day man and a lot
of folks had the day off or got off at
noon so they could go to church and work in
the yard and garden the rest of the day and
on Saturday before Easter Sunday. And yeah, a lot of
good memories there. But get out to your local independent
garden centers today and see what's going on out there.
Lots of things for you to plant, lots of color,
(01:22):
lots of vegetables, so many different varieties today, it's crazy.
And remember when you're growing vegetables or if you've got room,
try something new every year, try something different. Plant radishes,
plant your normal kind, but then the plant like French
breakfast or watermelon or some of those radishes, to try
something a little bit different. Dow tomatoes, you do a dozen,
(01:43):
do eight of what you normally grow, and grow two
or four something unusual, something different. You might find it
you like them a lot better than what you're growing
right now, So you know, try to take advantage of
that and grow something a little bit different every year.
And again, if you don't want to take up the
room in your garden, don't forget about container gardening a
great way to experiment with some plants that you may
(02:05):
not have room in your regular garden, but you can
do it in containers and try them in there as well.
And for the most part, for the most part, what
you can grow in that vegetable garden in the ground
can be grown in containers as well. For the most part.
There's a few exceptions, but for the most part you can.
So be sure keep that in mind as you get
out to your locally owned independent garden centers this weekend
(02:25):
and over the next several weeks as we cruise in
to that spring season. Eight hundred and eight two three
eight two five five to two, Lexington, South Carolina, Robin
good morning.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Good morning, Hi, I have a ki I have a
question about an orchid. I bought one at a store
and map of flowers are looking off spent, and actually
that long stem that the flowers is on is also
starting to look spent and worn out. I think, yes,
I need to cut that at the bottom of that
(02:57):
long stem and just hope that it grows back, or
how take care of it now?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah, you know, sometimes some of the varieties, depending on
which it is, sometimes they can't send out a sideshoot
for that from that and flower again. So I will
take those and maybe if it's if it's pretty well spent,
flowers are pretty well spent, go down and take about
a half of it off right now, and you'll see
there's little nodes on there. Just go above one of
(03:21):
those notes, cut it off, give it another month and
see what happens. If it doesn't do anything, gohead and
cut it off the rest of the way and then
you eliminate that and that flower stem is done. So
now what you're doing is then growing it on, you know,
doing your regular orchid care, maybe half rate feeding every
two weeks or so. That's very very important, et cetera,
(03:42):
et cetera. And then hopefully down the road we will
get it to set up another flower stock and start
the flower for you again. It takes a while. I
think a lot of folks give up on their orchids
and wind up throwing them away because they can't get
them to flower again. I've always felt that the key,
one of the keys is that you'll see sometimes as
we go into the late summer and sometimes into the fall,
(04:05):
a change in temperatures where that gets exposed to where
the temperature is really cool down can trigger that thing
to flower, and sometimes it can help you out a
little bit like Christmas cactus respond the same way. But
just stick with it, keep it as healthy as you can,
you know, feed it as needed, repot as needed, and
(04:26):
somewhere down the road it'll flower again. But I've all,
like I say, that cool temperature drop can trigger help
to trigger that as well. But yeah, you cut it
in half two thirds of way back, see if it
will flower if it doesn't, give it a month, cut
it off and it's done, and now we work for
another one, a new one, and.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
That somewhere down the road. Do you think would it
be greater than possibly a year or maybe under a year.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, I've seen you know, I've seen him come right
back this like this year, like later on late summer
or fall and set that flower stem up again. So yeah,
I've had folks that have done it right off the
bat and lucked out doing that. I've also had folks
that will bringing one to me and say, I've had
this for two years now and it's still sitting here
like this. You know what do we do? And you
(05:11):
know that's I say. You know, it's a it's a
like I say, most people wind up giving up on
them and just kind of pitching them out because they
can't get them to reflour again. But I still keep
it as healthy as you can, Robin, and I still
think that cool temperature drop and I'm talking like a
fifteen to twenty degree difference, not to freeze it, not
like that, but from a sixty degrees down to forty
(05:32):
five degrees like overnight or whatever where it gets chilled
a little bit, that can really help them trigger that
flower to come on for you.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Okay, thank you for your Robin.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
You're the happy Easter you and in the good talking
with you. Appreciate the call to Mansfield, will Ohio. We
go Stanley, good morning.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Hey, good morning, Ron, Yes, sir, Hey, I got a
couple of things for you, Bob yep. First of all,
in my backyard, I got like twenty five one hundred
square feet a lawn and it's kind of mossy. But
twenty five years ago or better, I planted hundreds and
hundreds of daffodils, and and I'll tell you you look
(06:12):
out there right now, then it's gorgeous.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I got them all along the fence line, all up
and through my woods, all front looks straight, dude, but anyway, and.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
They just keep coming and just keep coming.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, this year is like the best year for him ever,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And for you, good for you, and you know what
I think. The real quick point what you said there
is I spent a lot of time I want you know,
several years ago investing in those planning them, probably did
it over a two or three year period. Invest the
money into it, keep planning to keep planting. And now
you sit back for years and just enjoy what you
did several years ago, and it'll just any of those
(06:48):
daffodils just keep on giving you bet.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Now to my front yard, if you look over the
top of it, it looks nice. You know, I made
the mistake of overseeding with Kentucky bluegrass, and you know
that stuff grows everywhere. But anyway you look down in it,
ron you go over it. I got a lot of
bear spots and stuff around, you know, and I think
(07:15):
it's moss.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Okay, moss okay.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
And I can't get rid of them. You know. I
put that traasde or whatever you're supposed to put on there,
you know, to get rid of them. And you know,
I can't stand it is a nice long man.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
But does it does it go Does it go away
for a temporary basis when you do that, No, it
doesn't affect it at all. Huh Right, I have.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
My backyard and you could see him flying out in
front of the mower.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Okay, uh, okay, go ahead. I was going to say,
so you think you got you have sid web wormers?
What you're thinking about? Little moss would fly up out
of there.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
You know, That's why I'm asking you.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
But okay, when you look down into that, do you
see the holes? Do you see usually where they come
out of the ground. You'll see even like a little
sheathing or little little cocoon where they come up out
of there. Can you see any of that at all?
Do you see their activity in the in the ground?
Speaker 3 (08:21):
You don't not really, you know. I go out and
take a little trial and dig up a little sample,
vier you really can't see anything. But I know they're
in there. I got these awful brown places like down
in through marlawn. So I don't know what to do.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
But well do you think do you think you may
have when did let's go back up a second, then
when did those brown patches show up? Was that more
towards the end of the summer.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
It's been about four years ago. They come from over.
They come from the south, from the south of me,
from the neighbor's line.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
She got them all over.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
They move like to the ground, you know, down.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
To the ground unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Yeah, yeah, they come over for.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Before I would diagnose anything for you, Stanley, as we
need to figure out exactly what the issue is. And
that moth coming out of the ground when you mow
can be an indicator for sod webworm, no doubt about it.
And that's a possibility and it can be treated for that,
yes you can. But I think what we need to
do is when you get into the point where those
(09:28):
moths are starting to fly again. I need you to
go and see if you can actually knock a couple down,
put them in a ziplock bag, get a picture of
them or whatever, and or go to a local independent
garden center if you're in Mansfield. Yeah, the several garden
centers you can go to and let somebody take a
look at it. Try to identify what it is. That's
got to be our first thing so that we know
(09:49):
what we're dealing with there. Now, you know the other
things you could take a look at. Just cultural practices too.
Core air rating gonna really help out your lawn. Are
you feeding on a regular basis? Good for you if
you are. If you're not, that could be a possibility
to help. Thinking it back up again, and then look
at the choices of grass that you are using. You know,
it's you know, there's no best grass seed for anybody
(10:11):
out there, but I may even think that, you know,
take a look at it. May you may even consider
switching and going to the turf type tall fescues and
seeding that into the lawn, which is a lot more
insect resistant, disease resistant too, but a lot more insect
and drought tolerant, and we could take a look at
that and look at other cultural ways to help improve
(10:32):
the turf at the same time. And then if these
moths come back, you got you got to knock one
or two of them down and capture them. Let's identify
what you got and if that truly is what that is,
then we'll know how the timing wise to go after
those and help to reduce that down. But again I
look at the other cultural practices too to try to
get that lawn as thick as you can. And the
last thing I would look at, not the last thing,
(10:52):
but one thing I would look at is maybe this
fall you start looking at a little lawn renovation. Maybe
we start working those turf type tall fescues into that lawn.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
That may be a really good helpful thing for you
down the road for both insect and disease issues. All right,
but if you find out, let me know, I want
to hear back from you quick break. Well, come back

(15:04):
Speaking of Gary's. Today is Gary Busey's birthday. He's turned
to eighty. I think, well you remember Gary Busey. I do,
crazy man, Yeah, yes, he is.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
Is is for sure?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Are you ready for uh? How uh the hollow chocolate
Easter egg and or chocolate Bunny and all that I
have to tell you. Yesterday I was doing a little
guarding segment on the just through the phone for another
radio station that you might be ware of up in
the central Ohio area. But anyway, Uh, you know what
they ask right off the bat, Let's tell us about
(15:41):
this hollow chocolate easter bunny.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
First royalty that shut?
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I said, First of all, they're called sullies, and yeah,
it went from there, so you just you know your
sullies have gone everywhere.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
Well then Gary Bachman, you know your southern gardener, and
he kicked it up a notch last year. If you remember,
he had a he froze the bunnies before breaking off
their ears, all right, he froze them. Then he got
a you know, like a a syringe and needle that
(16:21):
you would use for marinating meats, and heated up the
tip and he put a little hole in, put two
holes in, a breathing hole and a drinking hole, and
he injected the Bailey's cream into the bunny and then
froze it. How about that? But I didn't do that, Rona.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
So then he bet the ears off, and it bet
it off and had it frozen in the middle of it.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
No, he injected the the Bailey's cream into the center
of the bunny and he drank it through the holes
that he injected. So he kicked it up in notches,
you know. But I didn't do that because I really
am all about easy off.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
That sounds like too much work to me.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
Yeah, yeah, it was just you know, I.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Freeze the bad boy, pour the stuff in it, and
let's go.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
In a way we go.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I did suggest not biting off the ears, but using
something like an exact o knife and cutting them off
so it's a nice smooth right, you'll break it.
Speaker 7 (17:21):
And you do break off the ears, it's not going
to be smooth.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
And you might have eaten the whole rabbit. Tried it again.
Any waste another chocolate rabbit?
Speaker 7 (17:32):
Yeah, we don't want any weight. There's no such thing
as wasting a chocolate rabbit.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
You know, well I'm not. I'm okay with chocolate, but
you know, well, you're eating a whole bunch of.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
Them would be terrible, horrible, just horrible.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I know Sue could do that, so yeah, I think
my wife could too. She loves chocolate.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
She wouldn't have any problem at all.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
See, I like dark chocolate better than the milk chocolate.
Are so so the Easter Bunny will be arriving at
the Sullivan's home this evening. Uh, what do you hope
that the Easter Bunny will have in mister Sullivan's Easter basket.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
Just a big old, a big old basket of happiness.
What do you think, just an assortment. I'd like a
little bit of everything. Molded milk balls, reces.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
You and I are favor two of the few that
still talk about malted milk balls. I like molded milk
Robin eggs. Yeah, I do too, That's why I say,
but you and I are like two of the only
ones that's still two dinosaurs malted milk balls.
Speaker 7 (18:36):
You got to be kidding me. Yeah, I do like this.
Still the soles are still selling them. We're okay, Ron, Yeah,
we're soles are still selling them in the store. We're relevant.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, yeah, we need some. So it's Easter weekend. Good Friday.
Yesterday I was telling stories about Good Friday, a busy
used to be in the hardware stores and the yeah
garden centers to kickoff of the spring season. So, uh,
today it's you know, with you given your show at
Home improve It and all, you're just going to tell
people to kind of chill out this weekend.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Not necessarily no, okay. In fact, Easter weekend for us,
still for the radio show is always a busy weekend,
there's time for families to get together, but I think
everybody's got an extra day or kids are still on
Easter break or spring break, and you know, there's just
(19:26):
some things getting done around the home. So yeah, we
kind of treat it as a as a busy weekend.
Not that we treat it that way, the callers dictated
that way, but we were very busy last week and
I suspect we'll be very busy this week.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Good. What are we going to talk about anything to
focus on today?
Speaker 7 (19:44):
No, I think you know, we're shifting gears from indoors
to outdoors. Though we're always talking about the outdoors, but
I think decks certainly come into play, water control comes
into play, concrete repair comes into play. Sprucing up front doors.
It was big last weekend, so we'll cover all the
(20:08):
basic exterior maintenance. You know, whether we do it this
weekend or next month, it is up to the homeowner.
But getting a good foundation and doing the study garage floors.
I think I will talk a little bit about that,
the different codings that are available out there.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
It's wide grain. You know, I don't know if you've
heard this before, but it's all about prep.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
It's all about prep and it's all about easy, but
it's also all about doing it right.

There is a new donut shop that just opened up

You know, you can go there and all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Yeah, coffee I've heard of. Coffee is good.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
So yeah, you're just you're you're just doing it. I mean,
I am surprised you don't hear the door closing right
now my ear piece till five.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
So after we're done, you might want to put missus
Boggs in the car and make a little run over
to Tyler's Raille Road in Mason, Ohio. There you go.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Man. You know, we have a donut trail in Butler County,
which is just I mean, a donut trail.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
How many? And they said, Joe Boggs lives in Butler County.
Let's let's put a donut trail together for Joe.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
You know, it's just well, I mean, you know, there
are spots on Earth that's like heaven. I mean, that's
just I just have to say it. You know, you
have donuts everywhere, I mean want more.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Have you the personal well, have you ever had a
donut without coffee you personally.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Yeah, Actually, well, if I'm living, if I'm living rough,
you know, that's that's how I mean, you know, that's
you just have to to sometimes, just have to sacrifice
and just do what you got to do, right, you know,
I understand I don't think I'm pretty bad, doesn't it.
(26:11):
But yeah, in the evening, you know, because you know,
if I have my evening donut, you know I'm not
gonna have coffee probably with that, but well then I'll
have to. I'll be up at one o'clock and have
another after midnight donut.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
For some reason, I can't imagine that happening to you.
I can drink coffee anytime during the evening before I
go to bed. It doesn't keep me.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Up, you know, it does the opposite for me. Actually,
I've told you that in the evening, if I have coffee,
I get tired. I don't know why. It's always been
that way. Studying way back in college, you know it
would be it would be the wrong thing to do,
which is kind of strange. But in the morning it's
I mean, if I hadn't had coffee, I wouldn't be
(26:57):
constructing sentences right now. You know, not a syllable words.
Just be like you'd be talking to cave Man, is
really what I'm saying. See, one of.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Your one of your favorite favorite actors birthday is today.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Oh Gary, do not know?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Gary Busey?
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Oh crazy Gary.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Crazy Gary. That's what we said.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
How old is Gary Boose?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I think Danny said he was eighty eighty? My goodness,
Well we were surprising still around.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Well there there's that. Yeah, yeah, there is that.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Yeah, eighty years ago.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Your teeth? He go, So, so what were we gonna.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
It's your segment there in mine. I don't know. I
can't if you don't have anything to talk about besides,
I know for your favorite Easter Buddy candy would be.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
You know, it's it's anything chocolate, but the hollow chocolate.
I actually like the solid ones a little better, but
the hollow ones. There's there's a little bit, I mean,
there are things that that that you can pour into
a hollow after Bunny, right.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Yeah, yeah, we we talked about that with Gary and
we but yeah, but uh, you know, but the Easter
Bunny doesn't bring you that well, he does bring in
the hollow ones, but anything else in that basket besides
the hollow chocolate Easter Bunny. I see you as a
malted milkwall.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
I was know you. I was just going to say
that whoppers malted milk balls I am and will always be.
And man, I tell you, you put those in a blender
with ice cream and a little milk and you have
a fantastic malt.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Okay, you know, like that is something.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
I love that. Oh yeah, yeah, it's a it's a
I love chocolate malts. And I think we talked about
this before. You know that they used to be everywhere.
That was just I mean, if you got a chocolate milkshake,
you can get a chocolate malt.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Right.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Yeah, I don't. I don't as often. I just don't.
Do they have good ones? Oh yeah, absolutely, well have
good ones too, Yeah, dairy queen, and you do f
me some of it. But you know that was just,
(29:22):
oh that was just every I mean, that was again,
of course, I'm sure you know, I mean you we're
not just talking to folks in southwest Ohio. So some
parts of the country I do know that has kind
of that's remained, but I am in this area. There
are a few places you can do that. But it
(29:43):
was just a given. So yes, a chocolate malt made
from whoppers. I'm sorry, I'm between donuts and that. Look
what I'm I've done. My segment's done. I'm looking at
my watch.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Let me throw this one out there. I used to
do this as a kid. I love this vanilla wafers, milk,
oh yeah, milk, and then well but then I would
smash him up. So I made a pasty thing out
of vanilla wafers and milk and eat it with a spoon.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Is that right? Well there you go. See I'm you know,
I'm a dunker.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
You're a dunker, all right?
Speaker 4 (30:23):
You didn't know that? Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
I'm not a dunker. I don't want that stuff floating
around in my milk. Why I never dunk stuff. I
eat it or I smash him together. But I don't
want stuff floating in my milk or my coffee.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Oh, it's just all going to be there together eventually, I.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Know, but not when I'm drinking it. It's like having
a moth in your coffee when you go to take
a drink.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Oh man, you had to do that, and I'm holding
my cup of coffee right now.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Well, why do you take an inspection? Before you take
a drink. Let's take a break now so we got
more time with you after the break talking with Buggy
Joe Boggs. You're in the garden with Ron Wilson.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
Landscaping made easier with your personal yard boy. He's in
the gardens and he's Ron Wilson.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Are you tired of spending a lot of time watering
your plants and try mixing soil moist water absorbing crystals
into the soil as your plant. They can reduce your
watering frequency as much as fifty percent. I Ron Wilson here.
Soil moist granules hold over two hundred times they're weight
in water and release it back to the plant as
it needs it. Soil moist is ideal for patio planners,
hanging baskets that dry out quickly. They're safe and friendly.
(31:46):
Soil Moist can be used indoors and out for all
your planting needs vegetable gardens as well. The Secret of
professional growers. Soil Moist available leading garden centers.
Speaker 6 (31:55):
I talk a lot about products that can make your
life easier, and I love Tereir Mender. This liquid via
adhesive repairs tears on all types of clothing, fabrics, leather, vinyl, footwear, buttons.
Tear Mender can also repair canvas, awnings, tents, carpet and
fabric furniture. It's one product you got to have in
your home this spring as we start pulling out the
outdoor cushions and umbrellas. Tear Menders available at your local
(32:18):
hardware store and Amazon. Check out tear mender dot com
for more great make do and men's solutions and ideas.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Welcome back, You're in the garden with Ron Wilson. Time
for Part two with a Buggy Joe Bonsiport. That would
be Buggy Joe Bogs from OSU Extension their website b
yg L dot ISSU dot e d U. I don't
know if you had things to talk about today, do you?
Because I have a couple of tips.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Well, I okay, So two things very quickly. The soil
temperatures indicate that the periodical cicadas brood fourteen. Remember that's
that's only in southern Ohio down through Kentucky into Tennessee.
It's actually a pretty big brood, it is. And yeah,
the soil temperatures for our part of the geographical range
(33:53):
for brood fourteen are just approaching are just right there.
The data has always shown that the once the soil
temperature reaches sixty four degrees and goes above it, then
we start seeing emergence. Now that's being predicted, friar. I
don't have a thermometer out there sticking in the ground,
but that's being predicted. So this coming week I'm going
(34:16):
to be making.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Some trips to get up to fifty six yesterday.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
Yeah, yeah, I know. It's kind of interesting. Oh the soil, Oh,
the soil temperature. Well, because you do have a thermometer
in the ground.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Nope, I go to greencast online dot com.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
That's where I go to. Isn't that interesting? That's exactly Yeah,
that's what now, you know, I guess it must be that.
What location am I using? I have to look at
that because because if you saw, it's predicting next week
we're going to go above the sixty four. But like
I said, I'm gonna have to look you know what
it is where I just pulled it up. You know
(34:54):
what it is now? You got up to sixty nine yesterday.
It's a sixty four right now for southern Ohio. Well, okay,
I'll see you later. Yeah, yeah, so you see, we're
right at the We're right at the edge. And so
(35:17):
I'll be heading over in our area. We're going to
see the highest emergency on the over in Claremont County,
eastern Hamilton County. Yes, and there are even places in
southern Butler in two thousand and eight where we saw
but the higher numbers are going to be over in
Claremont County. And that's where I'm going to be heading
(35:37):
this coming week, maybe a couple of trips because I
want to catch it early. And we really do hope
people report this and the way to report it, and
I'm going to do a big alert about it is
there is an app that you can download. It works
really well. Doctor Jean Kritsky. You know the cicada man
(36:00):
literally wrote the book about cicadas retired but not retired
from Mount Saint Joe here in Cincinnati. He and their
IT people developed this Cicada Safari. That's the name of it.
If you if you just searched that cicada Safari and
you can take a picture of the cicadas and then
(36:21):
and then there's a way to send that picture as
long as you do allow for that moment for that
use your location to be revealed, because that's important. And
the idea is then you have the picture, it goes
to cicada safari gets confirmed and now here is something
that if a person could do this. Now I'm not
(36:43):
saying everybody needs to do this, but if you, if
you're brave enough to do it, then this can be
very helpful. The way that we separate the three different
species of periodical cicadas is based on the banding or
lack of banding on the underside of the abdomen. So
(37:06):
if you come up and grab the cicada, you know,
with your thumb and forefinger index finger pointing finger, grab
them by the wings. They don't bite, they can't do anything.
But if you do that and pull it away from
the tree, and then you know, look at the underside
(37:27):
and take a picture of that, we can actually while
we a gene, can actually identify it to species. And
that's kind of important too. But I don't want to
get caught up with that. I don't want to have people,
you know, say, well, you know, I didn't want to
do that, so I didn't report it. The main point
is this, every time we have an emergence, we try
(37:47):
to get data on exactly where the cicadas occur and
in the past. In the past is you know what
I mean, maps would show them where they weren't and
then would also show them We're not show them where
they are because you know, the reporting was sometimes based
on memory. Oh yeah, I remember we had them here
(38:08):
ten years ago. Well maybe not, you know, it's just
that's just how our history goes, right, right, But Cicada Safari,
that really allows us to nail down exactly where these are.
And that's real important in Ohio because our data here
was not real complete. You'll find if you look at
(38:28):
the maps, you might find like a single cicado over
in Jackson County that's kind of south central Ohio. And
and you know, you know, a single cicada, you know,
I mean, it's no there were probably quite a few,
but only one person reported it. So Cicada Safari. And
that's not just for Ohio, that's anywhere this broote is
(38:49):
going to emerge. And as a matter of fact, I
have to download it myself here I am. You know,
I said do as I say, not as I do, right,
but I I need to download it so that when
I do go over there and you know, look at
the emergence, take pictures and so forth. I can go
ahead and start reporting my own on myself. So that
(39:12):
was it. Cicada just a cicada date.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Are you going to eat any something?
Speaker 4 (39:19):
I do not eat insects? It started with a moth
and my coffee.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
I probably started before that because I have eating them
in there. You know it's different, there's no doubt about it.
But anyway, no, no, I don't know why not about
And I don't know if you. You'll probably address this
sooner or later as we go along. But I just
had a couple this week that were a couple of
people that had real severe infestations last year on their
(39:48):
maple trees. They were smaller ones with one of the
leaf calls and was going to this person or both
of them actually wanted to do They're going to do
everything in their possibility, sprang tree being doing whatever to
control those And I don't think I could convince them
not to do anything, to just let it go.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
But yeah, it's uh, well, I mean it really is
almost impossible. Ron I mean it's even I'm sometimes well,
what's what's even more difficult for you and I? And
it's when there's a problem in nurseries. So you and
(40:33):
I both know this. I mean you all have a
you know, nursery and atort nursery. I mean, you know
there isn't there aren't a group of people that that
have the professional ability first to recognize things and monitor
things and also have the ability that if applications are required,
to be able to accomplish them effectively. I mean, there's
(40:54):
no other people beside nurserymen, right, I mean, they're able,
you know, to be out there monitor, know what they're
looking at. And Ron, I gotta tell you, even nurseries
have it's just almost impossible. Particularly the leaf galls like
like you mentioned, those are probably midge galls. The little
tiny flying insects look like gnats, and you know they don't.
(41:19):
The whole development doesn't work well with systemics. First of all,
that's kind of a we don't know why, but a
lot of the research you know, with systemics, and unfortunately
there hasn't been very much, but those few studies not
very good. And then if you're spreading the tree what
we call topical applications, well there's a challenge there because
(41:43):
they're not eating the tree as adults and that's very
important because are insecticides are primarily stomach poisons. And once
that egg is deposited, which it may already have happened,
by the way, because a lot of these deposit eggs
in the fall in to the tissue. But once it's depositive,
(42:03):
you're done. I mean, no topical is going to kill that.
And I've known, you know, very dedicated homeowners who have
tried and failed, and also even nurseries that have tried
and failed, because it's just very, very difficult. So it's
(42:23):
a shame. I mean, I understand, you know, some people
you know, don't want something like that, but they do
not hurt trees, They don't hurt anything. There's only you know,
you and I've talked about this before, and these are
all waspgalls. I mentioned the ones on maples, probably midge,
m I dge. But but the wasp galls. There are
(42:44):
far more waspballs on oaks than we find on anything else.
But there's only maybe two or three species that actually
cause any serious harm now I think about it now,
maybe four in the United States. The rest of them
just cause no harm to the plant at all. And
(43:05):
of course this is what you and I work very
hard to help people understand what should trigger and use
of and seticide is not how the plant looks. It
should be the health of the plant, right And so
if if it's not going to hurt the health, there's
it's just and you're not going to have success either.
So well, I allright, got carried away.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
I just wanted to yeah, no, no, no, I just wanted
you just to say the same thing. So you know,
a little bit of backup there. It's just it's hard
to convince with people of that sometimes. But anyway, Buggy
Joe Boggs, have a happy Easter weekend to you and
your family. We will talk to you next Saturday.
Speaker 4 (43:41):
Chocolate malts and donuts. Well you have a great week
here bye.
Speaker 1 (43:45):
I take care. Thanks all of our colors, Thanks our sponsors.
Thanks of course to UH our producer Danny Gleeson, because
without Danny Gleeson, none of the stuff would happen. So Danny,
thank you again so much for all that you do.
Now do yourself a favor. We're going to plant a
tree or two or three. Keep planting those native plants.
Thosative selections, be pollinator friendly. Paan for your worms. Get
the kids and dogs of all. The Guardian, by all means,
(44:06):
make this the best Easter weekend of your life. See you,
how is your guardian growing?
Speaker 5 (44:15):
Call Ron now at one eight hundred eighty two three.
Talk You're listening to in the Garden with Ron Wilson.
Our total free number on this Easter weekend eight hundred
(00:38):
eight two three eight two five five. Good morning. I
am Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy talking about yardening.
It is Easter weekend, good Friday yesterday, and of course
that's uh brings back old memories for me, because that's
a way back when they used to be like the
kickoff or the gardening per se, vegetable gardening and cleaning up,
getting anythings ready, cool seasoned crops and all that bare
(01:01):
root plants. That was the day man and a lot
of folks had the day off or got off at
noon so they could go to church and work in
the yard and garden the rest of the day and
on Saturday before Easter Sunday. And yeah, a lot of
good memories there. But get out to your local independent
garden centers today and see what's going on out there.
Lots of things for you to plant, lots of color,
(01:22):
lots of vegetables, so many different varieties today, it's crazy.
And remember when you're growing vegetables or if you've got room,
try something new every year, try something different. Plant radishes,
plant your normal kind, but then the plant like French
breakfast or watermelon or some of those radishes, to try
something a little bit different. Dow tomatoes, you do a dozen,
(01:43):
do eight of what you normally grow, and grow two
or four something unusual, something different. You might find it
you like them a lot better than what you're growing
right now, So you know, try to take advantage of
that and grow something a little bit different every year.
And again, if you don't want to take up the
room in your garden, don't forget about container gardening a
great way to experiment with some plants that you may
(02:05):
not have room in your regular garden, but you can
do it in containers and try them in there as well.
And for the most part, for the most part, what
you can grow in that vegetable garden in the ground
can be grown in containers as well. For the most part.
There's a few exceptions, but for the most part you can.
So be sure keep that in mind as you get
out to your locally owned independent garden centers this weekend
(02:25):
and over the next several weeks as we cruise in
to that spring season. Eight hundred and eight two three
eight two five five to two, Lexington, South Carolina, Robin
good morning.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Good morning, Hi, I have a ki I have a
question about an orchid. I bought one at a store
and map of flowers are looking off spent, and actually
that long stem that the flowers is on is also
starting to look spent and worn out. I think, yes,
I need to cut that at the bottom of that
(02:57):
long stem and just hope that it grows back, or
how take care of it now?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah, you know, sometimes some of the varieties, depending on
which it is, sometimes they can't send out a sideshoot
for that from that and flower again. So I will
take those and maybe if it's if it's pretty well spent,
flowers are pretty well spent, go down and take about
a half of it off right now, and you'll see
there's little nodes on there. Just go above one of
(03:21):
those notes, cut it off, give it another month and
see what happens. If it doesn't do anything, gohead and
cut it off the rest of the way and then
you eliminate that and that flower stem is done. So
now what you're doing is then growing it on, you know,
doing your regular orchid care, maybe half rate feeding every
two weeks or so. That's very very important, et cetera,
(03:42):
et cetera. And then hopefully down the road we will
get it to set up another flower stock and start
the flower for you again. It takes a while. I
think a lot of folks give up on their orchids
and wind up throwing them away because they can't get
them to flower again. I've always felt that the key,
one of the keys is that you'll see sometimes as
we go into the late summer and sometimes into the fall,
(04:05):
a change in temperatures where that gets exposed to where
the temperature is really cool down can trigger that thing
to flower, and sometimes it can help you out a
little bit like Christmas cactus respond the same way. But
just stick with it, keep it as healthy as you can,
you know, feed it as needed, repot as needed, and
(04:26):
somewhere down the road it'll flower again. But I've all,
like I say, that cool temperature drop can trigger help
to trigger that as well. But yeah, you cut it
in half two thirds of way back, see if it
will flower if it doesn't, give it a month, cut
it off and it's done, and now we work for
another one, a new one, and.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
That somewhere down the road. Do you think would it
be greater than possibly a year or maybe under a year.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, I've seen you know, I've seen him come right
back this like this year, like later on late summer
or fall and set that flower stem up again. So yeah,
I've had folks that have done it right off the
bat and lucked out doing that. I've also had folks
that will bringing one to me and say, I've had
this for two years now and it's still sitting here
like this. You know what do we do? And you
(05:11):
know that's I say. You know, it's a it's a
like I say, most people wind up giving up on
them and just kind of pitching them out because they
can't get them to reflour again. But I still keep
it as healthy as you can, Robin, and I still
think that cool temperature drop and I'm talking like a
fifteen to twenty degree difference, not to freeze it, not
like that, but from a sixty degrees down to forty
(05:32):
five degrees like overnight or whatever where it gets chilled
a little bit, that can really help them trigger that
flower to come on for you.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Okay, thank you for your Robin.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
You're the happy Easter you and in the good talking
with you. Appreciate the call to Mansfield, will Ohio. We
go Stanley, good morning.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Hey, good morning, Ron, Yes, sir, Hey, I got a
couple of things for you, Bob yep. First of all,
in my backyard, I got like twenty five one hundred
square feet a lawn and it's kind of mossy. But
twenty five years ago or better, I planted hundreds and
hundreds of daffodils, and and I'll tell you you look
(06:12):
out there right now, then it's gorgeous.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I got them all along the fence line, all up
and through my woods, all front looks straight, dude, but anyway, and.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
They just keep coming and just keep coming.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, this year is like the best year for him ever,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And for you, good for you, and you know what
I think. The real quick point what you said there
is I spent a lot of time I want you know,
several years ago investing in those planning them, probably did
it over a two or three year period. Invest the
money into it, keep planning to keep planting. And now
you sit back for years and just enjoy what you
did several years ago, and it'll just any of those
(06:48):
daffodils just keep on giving you bet.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Now to my front yard, if you look over the
top of it, it looks nice. You know, I made
the mistake of overseeding with Kentucky bluegrass, and you know
that stuff grows everywhere. But anyway you look down in it,
ron you go over it. I got a lot of
bear spots and stuff around, you know, and I think
(07:15):
it's moss.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Okay, moss okay.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
And I can't get rid of them. You know. I
put that traasde or whatever you're supposed to put on there,
you know, to get rid of them. And you know,
I can't stand it is a nice long man.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
But does it does it go Does it go away
for a temporary basis when you do that, No, it
doesn't affect it at all. Huh Right, I have.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
My backyard and you could see him flying out in
front of the mower.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Okay, uh, okay, go ahead. I was going to say,
so you think you got you have sid web wormers?
What you're thinking about? Little moss would fly up out
of there.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
You know, That's why I'm asking you.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
But okay, when you look down into that, do you
see the holes? Do you see usually where they come
out of the ground. You'll see even like a little
sheathing or little little cocoon where they come up out
of there. Can you see any of that at all?
Do you see their activity in the in the ground?
Speaker 3 (08:21):
You don't not really, you know. I go out and
take a little trial and dig up a little sample,
vier you really can't see anything. But I know they're
in there. I got these awful brown places like down
in through marlawn. So I don't know what to do.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
But well do you think do you think you may
have when did let's go back up a second, then
when did those brown patches show up? Was that more
towards the end of the summer.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
It's been about four years ago. They come from over.
They come from the south, from the south of me,
from the neighbor's line.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
She got them all over.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
They move like to the ground, you know, down.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
To the ground unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Yeah, yeah, they come over for.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Before I would diagnose anything for you, Stanley, as we
need to figure out exactly what the issue is. And
that moth coming out of the ground when you mow
can be an indicator for sod webworm, no doubt about it.
And that's a possibility and it can be treated for that,
yes you can. But I think what we need to
do is when you get into the point where those
(09:28):
moths are starting to fly again. I need you to
go and see if you can actually knock a couple down,
put them in a ziplock bag, get a picture of
them or whatever, and or go to a local independent
garden center if you're in Mansfield. Yeah, the several garden
centers you can go to and let somebody take a
look at it. Try to identify what it is. That's
got to be our first thing so that we know
(09:49):
what we're dealing with there. Now, you know the other
things you could take a look at. Just cultural practices too.
Core air rating gonna really help out your lawn. Are
you feeding on a regular basis? Good for you if
you are. If you're not, that could be a possibility
to help. Thinking it back up again, and then look
at the choices of grass that you are using. You know,
it's you know, there's no best grass seed for anybody
(10:11):
out there, but I may even think that, you know,
take a look at it. May you may even consider
switching and going to the turf type tall fescues and
seeding that into the lawn, which is a lot more
insect resistant, disease resistant too, but a lot more insect
and drought tolerant, and we could take a look at
that and look at other cultural ways to help improve
(10:32):
the turf at the same time. And then if these
moths come back, you got you got to knock one
or two of them down and capture them. Let's identify
what you got and if that truly is what that is,
then we'll know how the timing wise to go after
those and help to reduce that down. But again I
look at the other cultural practices too to try to
get that lawn as thick as you can. And the
last thing I would look at, not the last thing,
(10:52):
but one thing I would look at is maybe this
fall you start looking at a little lawn renovation. Maybe
we start working those turf type tall fescues into that lawn.

Speaking of Gary's. Today is Gary Busey's birthday. He's turned
to eighty. I think, well you remember Gary Busey. I do,
crazy man, Yeah, yes, he is.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
Is is for sure?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Are you ready for uh? How uh the hollow chocolate
Easter egg and or chocolate Bunny and all that I
have to tell you. Yesterday I was doing a little
guarding segment on the just through the phone for another
radio station that you might be ware of up in
the central Ohio area. But anyway, Uh, you know what
they ask right off the bat, Let's tell us about
(15:41):
this hollow chocolate easter bunny.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
First royalty that shut?
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I said, First of all, they're called sullies, and yeah,
it went from there, so you just you know your
sullies have gone everywhere.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
Well then Gary Bachman, you know your southern gardener, and
he kicked it up a notch last year. If you remember,
he had a he froze the bunnies before breaking off
their ears, all right, he froze them. Then he got
a you know, like a a syringe and needle that
(16:21):
you would use for marinating meats, and heated up the
tip and he put a little hole in, put two
holes in, a breathing hole and a drinking hole, and
he injected the Bailey's cream into the bunny and then
froze it. How about that? But I didn't do that, Rona.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
So then he bet the ears off, and it bet
it off and had it frozen in the middle of it.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
No, he injected the the Bailey's cream into the center
of the bunny and he drank it through the holes
that he injected. So he kicked it up in notches,
you know. But I didn't do that because I really
am all about easy off.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
That sounds like too much work to me.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
Yeah, yeah, it was just you know, I.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Freeze the bad boy, pour the stuff in it, and
let's go.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
In a way we go.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I did suggest not biting off the ears, but using
something like an exact o knife and cutting them off
so it's a nice smooth right, you'll break it.
Speaker 7 (17:21):
And you do break off the ears, it's not going
to be smooth.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
And you might have eaten the whole rabbit. Tried it again.
Any waste another chocolate rabbit?
Speaker 7 (17:32):
Yeah, we don't want any weight. There's no such thing
as wasting a chocolate rabbit.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
You know, well I'm not. I'm okay with chocolate, but
you know, well, you're eating a whole bunch of.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
Them would be terrible, horrible, just horrible.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I know Sue could do that, so yeah, I think
my wife could too. She loves chocolate.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
She wouldn't have any problem at all.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
See, I like dark chocolate better than the milk chocolate.
Are so so the Easter Bunny will be arriving at
the Sullivan's home this evening. Uh, what do you hope
that the Easter Bunny will have in mister Sullivan's Easter basket.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
Just a big old, a big old basket of happiness.
What do you think, just an assortment. I'd like a
little bit of everything. Molded milk balls, reces.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
You and I are favor two of the few that
still talk about malted milk balls. I like molded milk
Robin eggs. Yeah, I do too, That's why I say,
but you and I are like two of the only
ones that's still two dinosaurs malted milk balls.
Speaker 7 (18:36):
You got to be kidding me. Yeah, I do like this.
Still the soles are still selling them. We're okay, Ron, Yeah,
we're soles are still selling them in the store. We're relevant.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, yeah, we need some. So it's Easter weekend. Good Friday.
Yesterday I was telling stories about Good Friday, a busy
used to be in the hardware stores and the yeah
garden centers to kickoff of the spring season. So, uh,
today it's you know, with you given your show at
Home improve It and all, you're just going to tell
people to kind of chill out this weekend.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Not necessarily no, okay. In fact, Easter weekend for us,
still for the radio show is always a busy weekend,
there's time for families to get together, but I think
everybody's got an extra day or kids are still on
Easter break or spring break, and you know, there's just
(19:26):
some things getting done around the home. So yeah, we
kind of treat it as a as a busy weekend.
Not that we treat it that way, the callers dictated
that way, but we were very busy last week and
I suspect we'll be very busy this week.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Good. What are we going to talk about anything to
focus on today?
Speaker 7 (19:44):
No, I think you know, we're shifting gears from indoors
to outdoors. Though we're always talking about the outdoors, but
I think decks certainly come into play, water control comes
into play, concrete repair comes into play. Sprucing up front doors.
It was big last weekend, so we'll cover all the
(20:08):
basic exterior maintenance. You know, whether we do it this
weekend or next month, it is up to the homeowner.
But getting a good foundation and doing the study garage floors.
I think I will talk a little bit about that,
the different codings that are available out there.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
It's wide grain. You know, I don't know if you've
heard this before, but it's all about prep.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
It's all about prep and it's all about easy, but
it's also all about doing it right.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
I want to hear it.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
There is a new donut shop that just opened up
on Tylersville Road.
Speaker 4 (24:38):

Speaker 4 (24:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Yeah, coffee I've heard of. Coffee is good.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
So yeah, you're just you're you're just doing it. I mean,
I am surprised you don't hear the door closing right
now my ear piece till five.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
So after we're done, you might want to put missus
Boggs in the car and make a little run over
to Tyler's Raille Road in Mason, Ohio. There you go.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Man. You know, we have a donut trail in Butler County,
which is just I mean, a donut trail.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
How many? And they said, Joe Boggs lives in Butler County.
Let's let's put a donut trail together for Joe.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
You know, it's just well, I mean, you know, there
are spots on Earth that's like heaven. I mean, that's
just I just have to say it. You know, you
have donuts everywhere, I mean want more.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Have you the personal well, have you ever had a
donut without coffee you personally.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Yeah, Actually, well, if I'm living, if I'm living rough,
you know, that's that's how I mean, you know, that's
you just have to to sometimes, just have to sacrifice
and just do what you got to do, right, you know,
I understand I don't think I'm pretty bad, doesn't it.
(26:11):
But yeah, in the evening, you know, because you know,
if I have my evening donut, you know I'm not
gonna have coffee probably with that, but well then I'll
have to. I'll be up at one o'clock and have
another after midnight donut.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
For some reason, I can't imagine that happening to you.
I can drink coffee anytime during the evening before I
go to bed. It doesn't keep me.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Up, you know, it does the opposite for me. Actually,
I've told you that in the evening, if I have coffee,
I get tired. I don't know why. It's always been
that way. Studying way back in college, you know it
would be it would be the wrong thing to do,
which is kind of strange. But in the morning it's
I mean, if I hadn't had coffee, I wouldn't be
(26:57):
constructing sentences right now. You know, not a syllable words.
Just be like you'd be talking to cave Man, is
really what I'm saying. See, one of.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Your one of your favorite favorite actors birthday is today.
Speaker 4 (27:10):

It's your segment there in mine. I don't know. I
can't if you don't have anything to talk about besides,
I know for your favorite Easter Buddy candy would be.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
You know, it's it's anything chocolate, but the hollow chocolate.
I actually like the solid ones a little better, but
the hollow ones. There's there's a little bit, I mean,
there are things that that that you can pour into
a hollow after Bunny, right.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Yeah, yeah, we we talked about that with Gary and
we but yeah, but uh, you know, but the Easter
Bunny doesn't bring you that well, he does bring in
the hollow ones, but anything else in that basket besides
the hollow chocolate Easter Bunny. I see you as a
malted milkwall.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
I was know you. I was just going to say
that whoppers malted milk balls I am and will always be.
And man, I tell you, you put those in a blender
with ice cream and a little milk and you have
a fantastic malt.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Okay, you know, like that is something.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
I love that. Oh yeah, yeah, it's a it's a
I love chocolate malts. And I think we talked about
this before. You know that they used to be everywhere.
That was just I mean, if you got a chocolate milkshake,
you can get a chocolate malt.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Right.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Yeah, I don't. I don't as often. I just don't.
Do they have good ones? Oh yeah, absolutely, well have
good ones too, Yeah, dairy queen, and you do f
me some of it. But you know that was just,
(29:22):
oh that was just every I mean, that was again,
of course, I'm sure you know, I mean you we're
not just talking to folks in southwest Ohio. So some
parts of the country I do know that has kind
of that's remained, but I am in this area. There
are a few places you can do that. But it
(29:43):
was just a given. So yes, a chocolate malt made
from whoppers. I'm sorry, I'm between donuts and that. Look
what I'm I've done. My segment's done. I'm looking at
my watch.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Let me throw this one out there. I used to
do this as a kid. I love this vanilla wafers, milk,
oh yeah, milk, and then well but then I would
smash him up. So I made a pasty thing out
of vanilla wafers and milk and eat it with a spoon.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Is that right? Well there you go. See I'm you know,
I'm a dunker.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
You're a dunker, all right?
Speaker 4 (30:23):
You didn't know that? Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
I'm not a dunker. I don't want that stuff floating
around in my milk. Why I never dunk stuff. I
eat it or I smash him together. But I don't
want stuff floating in my milk or my coffee.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Oh, it's just all going to be there together eventually, I.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Know, but not when I'm drinking it. It's like having
a moth in your coffee when you go to take
a drink.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Oh man, you had to do that, and I'm holding
my cup of coffee right now.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Well, why do you take an inspection? Before you take
a drink. Let's take a break now so we got

Speaker 1 (33:08):
Welcome back, You're in the garden with Ron Wilson. Time
for Part two with a Buggy Joe Bonsiport. That would
be Buggy Joe Bogs from OSU Extension their website b
yg L dot ISSU dot e d U. I don't
know if you had things to talk about today, do you?
Because I have a couple of tips.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Well, I okay, So two things very quickly. The soil
temperatures indicate that the periodical cicadas brood fourteen. Remember that's
that's only in southern Ohio down through Kentucky into Tennessee.
It's actually a pretty big brood, it is. And yeah,
the soil temperatures for our part of the geographical range
(33:53):
for brood fourteen are just approaching are just right there.
The data has always shown that the once the soil
temperature reaches sixty four degrees and goes above it, then
we start seeing emergence. Now that's being predicted, friar. I
don't have a thermometer out there sticking in the ground,
but that's being predicted. So this coming week I'm going
(34:16):
to be making.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Some trips to get up to fifty six yesterday.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
Yeah, yeah, I know. It's kind of interesting. Oh the soil, Oh,
the soil temperature. Well, because you do have a thermometer
in the ground.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Nope, I go to greencast online dot com.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
That's where I go to. Isn't that interesting? That's exactly Yeah,
that's what now, you know, I guess it must be that.
What location am I using? I have to look at
that because because if you saw, it's predicting next week
we're going to go above the sixty four. But like
I said, I'm gonna have to look you know what
it is where I just pulled it up. You know
(34:54):
what it is now? You got up to sixty nine yesterday.
It's a sixty four right now for southern Ohio. Well, okay,
I'll see you later. Yeah, yeah, so you see, we're
right at the We're right at the edge. And so
(35:17):
I'll be heading over in our area. We're going to
see the highest emergency on the over in Claremont County,
eastern Hamilton County. Yes, and there are even places in
southern Butler in two thousand and eight where we saw
but the higher numbers are going to be over in
Claremont County. And that's where I'm going to be heading
(35:37):
this coming week, maybe a couple of trips because I
want to catch it early. And we really do hope
people report this and the way to report it, and
I'm going to do a big alert about it is
there is an app that you can download. It works
really well. Doctor Jean Kritsky. You know the cicada man
(36:00):
literally wrote the book about cicadas retired but not retired
from Mount Saint Joe here in Cincinnati. He and their
IT people developed this Cicada Safari. That's the name of it.
If you if you just searched that cicada Safari and
you can take a picture of the cicadas and then
(36:21):
and then there's a way to send that picture as
long as you do allow for that moment for that
use your location to be revealed, because that's important. And
the idea is then you have the picture, it goes
to cicada safari gets confirmed and now here is something
that if a person could do this. Now I'm not
(36:43):
saying everybody needs to do this, but if you, if
you're brave enough to do it, then this can be
very helpful. The way that we separate the three different
species of periodical cicadas is based on the banding or
lack of banding on the underside of the abdomen. So
(37:06):
if you come up and grab the cicada, you know,
with your thumb and forefinger index finger pointing finger, grab
them by the wings. They don't bite, they can't do anything.
But if you do that and pull it away from
the tree, and then you know, look at the underside
(37:27):
and take a picture of that, we can actually while
we a gene, can actually identify it to species. And
that's kind of important too. But I don't want to
get caught up with that. I don't want to have people,
you know, say, well, you know, I didn't want to
do that, so I didn't report it. The main point
is this, every time we have an emergence, we try
(37:47):
to get data on exactly where the cicadas occur and
in the past. In the past is you know what
I mean, maps would show them where they weren't and
then would also show them We're not show them where
they are because you know, the reporting was sometimes based
on memory. Oh yeah, I remember we had them here
(38:08):
ten years ago. Well maybe not, you know, it's just
that's just how our history goes, right, right, But Cicada Safari,
that really allows us to nail down exactly where these are.
And that's real important in Ohio because our data here
was not real complete. You'll find if you look at
(38:28):
the maps, you might find like a single cicado over
in Jackson County that's kind of south central Ohio. And
and you know, you know, a single cicada, you know,
I mean, it's no there were probably quite a few,
but only one person reported it. So Cicada Safari. And
that's not just for Ohio, that's anywhere this broote is
(38:49):
going to emerge. And as a matter of fact, I
have to download it myself here I am. You know,
I said do as I say, not as I do, right,
but I I need to download it so that when
I do go over there and you know, look at
the emergence, take pictures and so forth. I can go
ahead and start reporting my own on myself. So that
(39:12):
was it. Cicada just a cicada date.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Are you going to eat any something?
Speaker 4 (39:19):
I do not eat insects? It started with a moth
and my coffee.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
I probably started before that because I have eating them
in there. You know it's different, there's no doubt about it.
But anyway, no, no, I don't know why not about
And I don't know if you. You'll probably address this
sooner or later as we go along. But I just
had a couple this week that were a couple of
people that had real severe infestations last year on their
(39:48):
maple trees. They were smaller ones with one of the
leaf calls and was going to this person or both
of them actually wanted to do They're going to do
everything in their possibility, sprang tree being doing whatever to
control those And I don't think I could convince them
not to do anything, to just let it go.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
But yeah, it's uh, well, I mean it really is
almost impossible. Ron I mean it's even I'm sometimes well,
what's what's even more difficult for you and I? And
it's when there's a problem in nurseries. So you and
(40:33):
I both know this. I mean you all have a
you know, nursery and atort nursery. I mean, you know
there isn't there aren't a group of people that that
have the professional ability first to recognize things and monitor
things and also have the ability that if applications are required,
to be able to accomplish them effectively. I mean, there's
(40:54):
no other people beside nurserymen, right, I mean, they're able,
you know, to be out there monitor, know what they're
looking at. And Ron, I gotta tell you, even nurseries
have it's just almost impossible. Particularly the leaf galls like
like you mentioned, those are probably midge galls. The little
tiny flying insects look like gnats, and you know they don't.
(41:19):
The whole development doesn't work well with systemics. First of all,
that's kind of a we don't know why, but a
lot of the research you know, with systemics, and unfortunately
there hasn't been very much, but those few studies not
very good. And then if you're spreading the tree what
we call topical applications, well there's a challenge there because
(41:43):
they're not eating the tree as adults and that's very
important because are insecticides are primarily stomach poisons. And once
that egg is deposited, which it may already have happened,
by the way, because a lot of these deposit eggs
in the fall in to the tissue. But once it's depositive,
(42:03):
you're done. I mean, no topical is going to kill that.
And I've known, you know, very dedicated homeowners who have
tried and failed, and also even nurseries that have tried
and failed, because it's just very, very difficult. So it's
(42:23):
a shame. I mean, I understand, you know, some people
you know, don't want something like that, but they do
not hurt trees, They don't hurt anything. There's only you know,
you and I've talked about this before, and these are
all waspgalls. I mentioned the ones on maples, probably midge,
m I dge. But but the wasp galls. There are
(42:44):
far more waspballs on oaks than we find on anything else.
But there's only maybe two or three species that actually
cause any serious harm now I think about it now,
maybe four in the United States. The rest of them
just cause no harm to the plant at all. And
(43:05):
of course this is what you and I work very
hard to help people understand what should trigger and use
of and seticide is not how the plant looks. It
should be the health of the plant, right And so
if if it's not going to hurt the health, there's
it's just and you're not going to have success either.
So well, I allright, got carried away.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
I just wanted to yeah, no, no, no, I just wanted
you just to say the same thing. So you know,
a little bit of backup there. It's just it's hard
to convince with people of that sometimes. But anyway, Buggy
Joe Boggs, have a happy Easter weekend to you and
your family. We will talk to you next Saturday.
