not feeling too well. So we hope Danny gets better.
But glad to have you in here. I'm sorry that
I'm not there. I'm in Columbus today, but so I

oh well, every now and then you get a call
to the bullpen and you know it is what it is.
(01:32):
You gotta do what you gotta do and close it out. Absolutely. Well.
We appreciate you doing that, We really do. And it's fun.
Haven't you in here for the whole show rather than
just the cup of Joe? Oh yeah, it's it's gonna
be a blast. I can tell you're excited to be here. Well,
like you said, it was, it was a last minute call.
So men, give me a couple of maybe two cups
(01:56):
of Joe before I I'm awake. You don't drink coffee,
you very rarely. When do you drink coffee when I
really really need it? So you only drink it if
you have you're you're really tired, and you and rather
than drinking mountain dew, did you used to drink mountain dew?
I used to drink mountain dew. I don't do that anymore,
(02:18):
I know. But so if you need that caffeine fix,
you go for the coffee, just to quick pick me up,
the quick pick me up. He says, all right, Well,
I'm glad you're here. We're gonna have fun. It's always
pleasure having you running the ship. Danny does a great job,
but you know, it's great when you get the chance
to fill in. And as a matter of fact, I
think you get to do that again a couple of weeks,
don't you. And he going he's going to be out
(02:39):
of town or something. Yeah, he's got something going on
that I'm gonna be filling in. So a couple of weeks,
maybe two week. We are honored. That's wonderful. It's it
is awesome. It is and it is your honor. It
is my honor, no doubt. Hey, I want to thank
you all, you all you for all get it out
(03:00):
hang in with me for the new graphics that you
have put on our Facebook page. In the garden with
Ron Wilson. You have created a whole slew of new graphics.
They are outstanding, and you almost got you have one
for every week. It looks like he showed me yesterday
we were I was at the studios and he was
(03:20):
showing me all these graphics he's put together for New
in the Garden with Ron Wilson. And that's pretty darn cool.
Huh huh, yeah, it's pretty You know. I just try
to to change it up a little bit because it
was getting kind of boring. So I just you know,
and what I do what I can do to help
the show. Well, see, you kept mentioning about the new
(03:42):
graphics that anybody noticed. Anybody noticed, and I don't think
anybody was realizing what you were doing. And then finally
realized you started making some of the uh it was
making some changes, and they are they're very cool, and
you've got them for seasonal and all kinds of stuff.
So I guess the question is, now, are you gonna
put those on T shirts? I could put them on
(04:03):
T shirts, but if if we're gonna sell them, you're
gonna have to take care of that. Well, why, because uh,
we've had we've we tried doing that in the past
and it was a big failure. So that's gonna have
to be on you for the garden show. Not necessarily,
not necessarily for the garden Show. Oh okay, okay, I
(04:23):
got it. Well, they would make I see, I'll put
along on the crest on the front, you could put
in I sleep or again up Saturday morning with the
yard boy and on the back and then in the
garden with Ron Wilson. And then you a good idea,
you should run with it, and then you sign each
one of those that's twenty dollars a signature. You're right,
we would never sell them exactly. Oh love it anyway.
(04:48):
So what's what is going on in your yard? I did,
Are you back to working outside now? Or will I
cut the grass the other day? Yeah, yep. I'm kind
of covered from my surgery, so I was like, I'm
going to go out and cut the grass. So because
it needed to be cut, yeah, because it was the
grass was waving, so I needed to get out. Hmm.
(05:09):
Still a got in that battery operated. No, that's no,
not yet. I'm working on though. Okay. Because I heard
Gary Gary actually Sullivan, mister home Improvement had a I
think somebody on talking about the new improved batteries that
they have on those things and how long they can
last and sound a pretty darn good at this stage.
You could even get a writing more that's electric. I
(05:31):
saw that. When you get me one. I can't imagine
how expensive those would be or maybe not, I don't know,
not as expensive as you think. Yeah, well, I know
the pushbowers have come down in price, so I've seen
them for two three hundred bucks. Well, then that's what
you pay for a gas one or more. So yeah, yeah,
(05:53):
My only issue with the electric ones is that their
their cut radius is still pretty small. That's right, you
like it? You want to push more with thirty six
inch wide rick cutting radius? Right right, right now? I
throw back and forth about five times. She is twenty,
So what are you? What are you looking for? Twenty four,
twenty eight? At least twenty four to twenty eight? Okay,
(06:16):
self propelled, well hopefully self propelled or teenager propelled. You
are going to have that much longer? Yeah, try and
tell me about it. Yeah, I know they're both going
to be out of that. Out of those teen years,
I still got I still got one. Who's nineteen, So
I say, Grace is out of that, right, Yeah, she's
(06:38):
she's twenty one now, Yes, she's legal, and trust me,
she she she took advantage of that fully this past
week did you take did you take her out? And
she turned twenty one? Party with her? I took her out,
all her friends took her out. I mean she had
she had a blast last weekend. Good, excellent. I do remember,
(06:59):
if I'm not mistaken, you leaving the show? I did
what when you left the show? Was it when she
was born? Oh? Yeah, we had that false alarm. Yeah,
the week before that's actually born. Yeah, that's right, it
was before she was born. Yep, Joe was there. Then
I look up and Joe is gone. Yeah. I had
the uh hey she's she's coming, and I'm like, okay,
(07:21):
I gotta get out of here. Bike h Yeah. Literally,
I don't know who filled in for you, God, but
it was very quick because it literally looked up and
you were gone. It was like, okay, where Joe go? Wow? Yeah,
and now she's twenty one years old. Now she's twenty one,
I mean her and on her own? Did you remind her?
(07:42):
Now you you wouldn't go to jail for she's not
on her own. But yeah, well, I mean, you know
you're not legally responsible now, truth, very true. Let's go
ahead and take a quick break here, and let's get
just because our little discombobulated in here. So let's go
ahead and take a quick break and we'll come back.
And that's because we had little issues getting hooked up
(08:03):
late because I am in Columbus, Ohio this morning, and
you got to hook these two things up. We had
programmer and guys and engineers trying to figure it out,
and we did right before we came on. So we
had to scramble to get everything together, but we did.
And that's what you don't see behind the scenes, and
that's what Joe Strecker and all the producers and engineers
are all about, because they make it all work like
nothing ever happened. Eight hundred eight two three eight two

what's on the website, and the website would be Ron

garden with Ron Wilson, And you can check out that
neographic if you If you like it, it was all me.
And if you don't like it, you know who to blame.
Doctor Z Washington, d C. Gardener eighty three. Wait a minute.
Those are very creative. You're doing a great job. I
really I looked at all those yesterday. I was like, Wow,
(10:30):
didn't realize I had I had that in me, No,
I didn't. You should put your seriously, should put your
signature at the bottom of each of one of those.
Uh created by It's okay, created by Yeah, well you should.
We'll go with that. Uh. The website has uh see
today we have Barbi blecher on. Yes we do. So
(10:52):
there's a an article about colony. I guess is it
still called colony collapse disorder? Well, yeah, they they'll they'll
call it a call only collapse. Yes, well, when we
talked to Barbie, she better talk about B diarrhea or later, Joseph,
she always does just because of you. I hope so.
And I think that may be a part of the
the issue that they're finding out. So but we'll find
(11:14):
out too well, because I gave her her start, so
she better I beg you well, you know, and you
know what's funny, whenever she knows she give talks. She
gives a lot of talks to people. Would ask, so,
tell us about this bee diarrhea that Joe's always talking about,
and uh, and it's not. Yeah, yeah, we laugh about
it because it does sound kind of weird and thinking
(11:35):
of b having diarrhea, but it's a serious issue for him.
And then she rolls her eyes and says, oh goodness,
oh my gosh. Again it goes Streker Strucker again with
this B diarrhea. Rita is Rita's off for the for
the season, I believe, well, once a month, once a
month now, yep, yep. Figures on on the day that
(11:56):
that I'm filling in, that's what doesn't want to come
in first Saturday off for a while. Yeah, Well, can
I say Arita's recipe this week is? I remember when
she used to bring us stuff? She used to Yeah,
that was a long time ago. Yeah. Oh man, I
guess we fall out of favor. I guess she didn't
bring it to Dan anymore either. Say what she doesn't
(12:17):
bring it to Dan anymore either? She doesn't know and
she we must have really fallen out of favor. Really,
I do do. I don't know what I did, but
obviously I did something. Pushed the wrong button there. Yeah,
I'm sure you did. That's that's all you. It's I
take the blame. Well. This week her her recipe of
the week is is a little precursor for Father's Day
(12:40):
and some ribs are ribs are her recipe this week,
And that barbecue sauce looks mighty tasty. Yeah, Frank's Father's
Day barbecue. That's mister hiking Fell barbecue sauce. And uh yeah,
you just read through at the uh at the ingredients
and makes your mouth water. Definitely gonna have to try that.
(13:01):
That's not usually how how how I make my ribs,
but I'll try that. That way always always a different
way to do that. Oh yeah, now let me ask
you this. You're not a real spicy kind of guy, right,
I know you are personally, but when you're eating food, no,
I can't. I can't handle spicy. Okay, because it's got
(13:21):
that half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Well I could
handle half a teaspoon, that's oo. I was like if
it was like, you know, ghost pepper. No, no, no, yeah,
I was just curious if you're going to increase the
half of teaspoon. No, it'll probably stay about a half Okay,
all right. Otherwise I know you're a spicy kind of guy.
That's what I've heard. Anyway, That's that's what a lot
of people are. That's what the rumor is. Yeah, that's
(13:43):
what the online rumors are. Yes. Uh. And the plan
of the week is the climbing hydrangea. You know, we
should have we should have planned one of these in
your backyard. Which there's still time, is there? Okay, Well,
we'll have to take a look at that. It's been
a long time since the garden ferry has been over.
What was the last what was the last thing that
was contributed to your garden? Probably was the hardy banana
(14:05):
the garden. Yeah, the banana, the major old Yeah, the major,
the major player was. It was the hardy banana, yeah,
which I'm assuming is coming up slowly, but surely it's slowly.
It's called pups. Okay, all right, just checking making sure.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah, this is a this is one of the hydrangeas
that's hardly anybody knows about. It been around forever. May
not be the easiest one to find, uh, because you
have to have it. It's a climbing hydrang jeat and
you can you can actually force it to be a groundcover.
It's very woody. You can prone it to be a
shrub if you wanted to, but it's great as a climber.
(14:40):
So it's kind of slow at start, a couple three
years and then it kind of kicks in the gear.
And once it does, the flowers in the summertime are outstanding.
It's a late spring, early summer bloomer. The leaves are outstanding,
the bark is outstanding, fall color is great. Uh, it's
really good. And it's tough, durable, hearty, but it's climbing
hydraen jet. And there's even couple on the market now
(15:01):
that have variegated leaves so you get a little bit
of white and green. They love the shade. We'll take
the sun, but they'll do really well in the shade
for you as well. So again check that on when
I was climbing Hydraanda. Not a lot of folks know
about it. Nothing new, but should be used a lot
more in situations where we need a climbing vine. That's
(15:22):
you know, not gonna take over, but it's really cool,
gives you four season appeal. Pretty cool. Huh huh. All right,
well I'm going to open up the phone line, so
if you want to call in, let's get this party started.
Be sure. I'm ready. Nothing else, that's it, all right,
But it's too early for me to say if you
like what you see on the website, I can still
(15:43):
say it, okay, if you like what you see on
our website at Ron Wilson online dot com, facebook page
in the Garden with Ron Wilson. Joe Schreker, of course,
had everything to do with it. Now, if there's something
in there you see that you're not sure about, you
don't like, maybe you don't like one of the graphics,
not my fault. Don't blame Joe. We're gonna blame as usual,
doctor Z. Doctor Z, who is living in Washington, DC.

for doing that, no doubt, and for filling in for
Danny Gleeson who was under the weather and Dan and
Joe got the last minute call from the bullpen and
was able to come in and take care and cover
us this morning, so we do appreciate that. By the way,
I got some reports this week, and I know Joe
you're listening as we do this, but it looks like
the report for Father's Day, which is coming up next weekend. Yep.
(21:17):
Father's Day next Sunday, is going to the spending is
going to reach a record high this year. Dads are
finally getting more attention for Father's Day. Gifts. The average
spending is even close to.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Mom.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
They said that the average of most shoppers will spend
as a round between two hundred and maybe as much
as two hundred and seventy nine bucks for dad. But
that's not bad. Still not at Mom's level, but I
get it. I understand totally. But that's good. And so
it's kind of encouraging to see that the dads are
(21:57):
going to get get little bit more money. I have
always said, but I really don't want any gifts. I'm
good to go. Just to give me the you know,
pleasant day, you know, just treat me nice and give
me time to take a nap or two and just
kind of chill out and relax. And I'll tell you what.
You know, it's on Father's Day weekend, especially on Saturday,
if you've got a lot of chores to do outside.
(22:18):
You know, I always said, give yourself a little present.
Kind of fake it. Just go out there and fake it.
Now you might you know, you might have to mow
the lawn. Okay, she get that knocked out. But then
you go around and act like you're pruning, you know,
just kind of fake like you're pruning, like you're sweating hard.
You know, just kind of clipping the bushes and things
like that. Maybe get the rake out, act like you're raking,
but don't really do anything. Maybe slip in your favorite beverage,
(22:40):
you know, like in your your gardening holster, or have
that cooler hitting underneath the shrub somewhere. But make it
look like you're out there really working hard, you know,
on that day before Father's Day. Man Dad was out
there all day yesterday working in the yard and pruning
and sprucing things up and raking and weeding and stuff,
and I can just see him sweating like crazy. But
(23:01):
you just kind of fake them out. Just act like
you're doing it, you know, and maybe spray a little
water on yourself every now and then make it look
like you're sweating. And then of course cover up. If
it's your favorite adult beverage and it's in a can,
cover that up so people don't see what it is.
But you know, you can kind of make it, make
fake it and have a great Saturday, and then they
feel they kind of feel, you know, like, wow, dad
(23:23):
really worked hard on Saturday. Let's take care of them
on Sunday. What do you think? I think it's a
good game. Plan myself. But I do want to remind
you that dads like which By the way, the survey
that they took said it one of the most interesting
and rising in popularity gifts was the meat of the Month.
(23:45):
I know you'd like that one, Joe Strecker and Beer
of the month. So that you sign your dad up
for a meat of the month and beer of the month.
How can you go wrong with that one? But dads
also like things from the garden, just like Mom likes
things from the garden. You know, if he's got a
favorite tree that maybe he's always wanted, a plant like
that Japanese maple or some type of little ornamental tree
(24:07):
and a special garden, that's pretty cool to do that
for dad, and he would always think of you, you know,
for something like that. Dad's like really cool professional gardening tools,
you know, the high end stuff. They're really nice bypass
fruit pruners, they're really nice soil knife. You're d having
a soil knife if he works out in the yard
(24:29):
and garden does a lot of gardening, you know where
he's really involved with uh uh, you know, digging and
transplanting and container gardening and things like that. Get him
a soil knife. Now you can go on line. There's
all kinds of soil knives out there that are available
for you. Soil knife Hory Corey. Sometimes it's also called
h R h O r I K O r I.
(24:52):
But but that soil knife is a great gift, and
of course you hear me talking about it all the time.
This past week we were kind of trying to finish
up which is the earliest Ron Wilson has ever gotten
involved with his container gardens. But we're actually finishing up
our plantings already, first week at June. I can't believe
this is happening. It's usually the mid to the latter
(25:13):
part of June, and I'm finally getting out there starting
to plant. But some of the containers that we just
kind of, you know, took off the fold and left
the roots in there, which I will do and just
chop them up in the springtime. Some of them I
had to cut to get them out of the pots.
But that soil knife is so convenient. You stick that
down there. It's like a like a butcher knife, and
(25:33):
you go around, you work and it just cuts got
of serrated edge and you can just cut those roots
and pull that stuff out of those containers kind of chime.
You churn up that soil a little bit with that
soil knife. It's great. It's great for using in the ground.
You can use it for cutting off pansies, you can
use for all kinds of stuff. It's like a gardener
survival knife, but again it's called a soil knife, and
(25:54):
you can Those are great and if you get a
really good one, they're kind of indestructible. I get mine,
and again there's a whole bunch of them out there.
Just google it, you'll find it. But I get mine
from am Leonard out of Pickwell, Ohio, and they have
been in the professional tool line forever and they finally
(26:15):
did their own retail online retail for homeowners. It's called
Gardener's Edge, but if you do am Leonard, they'll take
you their website. You can order off of that too,
but it's Gardner's Edge. And I like theirs. That thing is,
Like I said, I give them away all the time
because people want to know what is that thing that
you've got, And I get them away and on and
(26:35):
I probably have bought twenty or thirty of them from
am Litard. But you can't break them. And they last forever.
Just take care of it. It'll lasts forever. But it's
called a soil knife. And dad would love a soil
knife if he doesn't have one. Dads would love a
really high end bypass pair of pruners if he doesn't
(26:55):
have one. Dads would like a really nice like an
illumin them shaft, de handle, short square spade, you got
something like that. And I've got one and I've had
again from Am Leonard that I've had for probably thirty years.
And that thing, you know, I sharpened about every other year.
(27:16):
It cuts through things like like butter. It's it's a
great tool. You can't again, you can't break it. But
that's another great one for dads if they get out
and do some digging and edging in the beds and
things like that. That's another great one for me to
have as well. So keep that in mind. Guard. You know,
grant fathers do like gifts for and from the garden,
so you might want to keep those as well in
(27:37):
mind as well. But I'll tell you the soil knife
is great when one last one before we take a break,
and our numbers eight hundred and eight two three eight
two five five I've always talked about the gardening gloves
that are are just outstanding, and they're made by Louisville Slugger,
(27:57):
and I tell you what they are. They're line of
gardening gloves and it's a goat skin is phenomenal, and
they're hinged. They're approved by the they're hinged naturally, but
they're approved and padded. They're approved by the Arthritis Foundation
for folks that have arthritis. The garden gloves are unbelievable.
You should be able to see them in the garden centers,
(28:19):
but you don't anymore. You have to go online to
order them. I'll and I don't have. I was looking
here my notes to see if I had their website,
but I don't. I'll look it up during the break.
But that's another one you'd have to order. But those
garden gloves are absolutely outstanding. And you can wash them
out with soap and water, let them drive and they
come right back into form fitting fitting as well. They're
like a like a golf club, a golf glove or
(28:40):
a batting glove, but it's for gardening and they are outstanding. Anyway,
a few suggestions for Father's Day, which is coming up
next Sunday quick break, we come back more tips to
share with you, taking your calls at eight hundred eight
two three eight two five five. Here in the garden
with Ron Wilson.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Landscaping made easier with your personal yard boy. He's in
the garden and he's Ron Wilson. This is fifty five
KRC and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Mosquitoes can transmit deadly diseases.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
In honest in the morning, fifty five KRC Theme talkstation.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
It's the how to Saturday here on fifty five KRC.
And here's our lineup. Nine o'clock Gary Sullivan for the
best gorm repairdom improvement. Then at one o'clock you got
Dane Donovan with the car Show. Then we've got Victor Gray,
we got Sean Hannity and it all happens right here
on fifty five KRC, the talk station. Welcome back. You're
in the garden with Ron Wilson again that toll free
number eight hundred eight two three eight two five five
(29:50):
talking about yardning to the yarning phone lines. We shall
go Stella in Delaware.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Good morning, Good morning, Ron, nice to talk to you again.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Two questions if you don't mind, sure the first one
is about poppies. I get lovely buds and then just
below the stem it gets a black stem and then
the bud slaps over. Do you know what causes that?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
I'm trying to think that does the does the bud
rot as does eventually? But does it start to decay
as well? Or does it just fall? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (30:24):
It just never opens. It's just you know, it gets
a black spot just below the bud. Yeah, and then
and then it flaps over and it never opens.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
And do you ever get any of the flowers to
open at all? Or just swept through it?
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Okay, I get, I get knife until you know one
or two of them will that will happen?
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Yeah, And I'm trying to think there are a couple
of stem blights that they can get. I'm trying to
think if any of that would be a buttritis. But again,
it's it's something that you rarely would spray for. And
I can't think what you would even spray for it
to try to protect the because the thing of it
is you probably don't. Do you see it every year?
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (31:06):
Well but not all of them but not all.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
And that's the that's the kicker and a lot of
times to use a funge aside as a preventative earlier
in the season. Uh, you don't know whether you need
it or not, and you hate wasting the money in
the spray, uh to to do anything about it. The
rest of the plant still looks good. Yes, yeah, so
you know, I I don't know that I would even
(31:29):
be worried about spraying for it. I think what I
would do is go through when that happens and shows up,
is to clip those off down below, get rid of
the stem, but the whole nine yards. Don't let that
fall down around the plant. And by physically removing that away,
we take that those spores that may be right there,
get them away from the plant, and maybe over time
that will help to keep it under control. Otherwise you'd
(31:50):
be looking at spraying with a fung a side as
soon as they start to appear in the spring and
trying to protect them through the spring season. And I
don't think you want to go through that. So I
think at this stage, you know, if it's not too bad,
I would probably go through, clip them out and throw
those away. And if it gets to a really bad
problems where you're losing all the flowers and I start
to look at a fungicidal application that would start early
(32:13):
in the season and maybe every ten days or two
weeks to carry you through the spring to help protect
those it's through that time.
Speaker 5 (32:21):
Okay, so just cut the stem out.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Yeah, so take the whole great down and take that
whole stem out of there and throw it and throw
it away.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
Yeah, okay, it's hard to do because they're so pretty. Yes, question,
I have a seago palm, and the fronts I just
turn yellow. I don't know my watering too much, not enough?
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Uh, don't forget on those palms now. Are they the
bottom leaves that are turning yellow or all the way through?
Speaker 5 (32:50):
No, it's a seagod palm. Are you familiar with good palm?
Speaker 1 (32:56):
As it? The palm is right, okay, well I'm trying that.
I'm drawing. I'm thinking of palm.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
Right right, yes, And it's flat. The fronts are all
on the same level. There's just one level of front
and they look beautiful. They I always get new blooms
in the summer, but then they just get you know,
they just all turn yellow.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
All of them are again, all of them yellow, the.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Other one after the other.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Okay, because because usually with the sago palms there, they're
like a layer. So you've got a layer and you
get another one, another one.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
And the reason is only have one layer simply because
the bottom layer always turns yellow. Then I get new
ones in the summer, right, and then they start to
turn yellow.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
But they naturally do that as they limb themselves up
over the years, and that's why I'm trying.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
I never get two levels, that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
But but they are getting replaced when the yellow ones
start to appear at the bottom, which my point being
is that's the way palms do that. Now with the Sagos,
you want you'd rather have four or five levels. So
you see a more mature one, and they've got that
trunk that's about eight or ten inches in diameter. And
of course over the years that limbs up as those
levels die off, that they naturally shed. But they usually
(34:13):
have another layer or two above them, so as they
lose that bottom layer, they're forming a new layer on top.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
Inside, all I have is one layer because they all
just die away in summer, get beautiful fronds again, right,
and then during the year they just saw. I don't know,
do you do I wander too much.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
That could be a well, you know what's funny is
you get the same symptoms both ways. I think the
thing is, if you were watering too much, you would
start to see a decline in the overall plant, you know,
as far as the trunk, their root system starting to decay,
that type of a thing. Whereas you underwater they will
dry rot over time, but you don't see that, you know,
the mushy decay. The way I look at watering these
(34:56):
and I'm assuming you take this in over the wintertime,
take it back outside in the summer, yes, yeah, is
that you know, of course in the wintertime as much
sun as possible. Obviously they would love a really bright
area when they're when they're in that house. That will
cause them to yellow a little bit too. But you
really slow down on the water when it's indoors over
the wintertime. I usually let those things get dry, stay
(35:20):
dry for a little bit, soak them well. Dry, stay
drive for a little bit, soak them well. And I
always use lukewarm to warm water when I'm watering over
the wintertime. That seems to work better than trying to
you know, a little more consistent moisture. So I really
let them dry out let us let them get dry,
and then come back give them a goot soaking. That way,
you know you're watering well enough to keep the plant supported.
(35:43):
But on the same token, you're not leaving that soil
so wet that it starts to decline down below. And
of course sunlight's going to be very very important as well.
They're pretty tough indoors. I mean, it's a good indoor
plant to have. But you know they again the yellowing.
I just I keep going back to that, trying to
think of what else could be the issue. How about feeding?
Speaker 5 (36:06):
No, I don't feed it that maybe because you said
you said something. I have it in front of a window.
Does it not like the direct sun?
Speaker 1 (36:14):
No? It does. That's why I say, you know, have
given as much light as you can. It loves it.
I mean, think of think about where they naturally grow.
And of course they're they love that app you know,
the full the great sun. Uh, and they'll take that
with no problem. And of course when you take it outside,
it's good to acclimate it little, you know, and and
do a half a day of sun and then if
you work it into a full sun area, do that
(36:34):
for a week or so. Then get it into the
full sun. But they love the light. That's a good
thing for them. So the more light, the merrier for
you inside. But maybe try maybe try the feeding too.
I mean, you don't want to overfeed it. Now's a
great time to do that as we're in the spring
and summer season. And then of course you start to
back off as you get into the fall as you
bring it back inside the house. But uh, you know,
(36:57):
as you're watering, maybe try a wall soluble, just an
all purpose water soluble fertilizer that you could use inside.
You know that you can find bagged fertilizer. I think
even like Fertilom makes them four palms, uh, specifically designed
for palms, but any all purpose fertilizer would be fine.
That's something you might want to give it a shot
as well. And I'll tell you what when they start
(37:19):
to yellow like that, feel free to take a couple
of pictures of the palm, take something up close and
an overall picture of the palm. Email them to me
and I'll be more happy to take a look at
it and see what you know if I could try
to diagnose something looking at the plant from your email pictures.
Speaker 5 (37:34):
Okay, where should I email it to.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
It's Ron Wilson at iHeartMedia dot com.
Speaker 5 (37:41):
At iHeartMedia dot com.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Oh, iHeartMedia dot com, and send me the pictures and
I'll get back to you on that.
Speaker 5 (37:47):
Okay, sounds good.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
All right, and somebody do me favor if you have
that with your poppy, do the same thing. Send me
a couple of pictures of those and I'll take a
quick look and see if there's something else I might
see on that stem. All right, good talk with you.
Appreciate the call. Great questions. Sago palms. They stick you,
but they're a great palm, and they're very tough, very durble.
I like the look, but typically you get that it's
(38:11):
a layer down low and one or two layers above
it kind of up. They kind of go up and
fan out, and the older they get that trunk is
so cool because it's kind of fat and each layer
forms that nice little ridge or rim around. There. A
pretty interesting palm, pretty much available at most of the
garden centers in the springtime. You'll find out with the tropicals.
(38:33):
But it's tough and durable. It does well in the house,
does well outside as well. But again, feeding might be
an important issue there for you too, so do keep
that in mind. By the way, talking about watering and
coming up on our next hour, we're going to talk
to Ron rothis are certified arbors and the hobby meteorologist
about all the rainfall we've had this spring, or it
seems like we've had a lot of rainfall. He's going
(38:53):
to tell us what our averages have been and where
exactly we are, but as we start to transition into
the summer seat, and he's going to tell us what
his forecast is there as well. This transition period where
plants have been set up with what I think has
been pretty good rainfall all spring, and you start getting
into the hot, drier times of the year in the summer,
they put out a lot of fold it's a lot
(39:15):
of new growth. How important is it now to really
watch our watering as we go through, especially those newly
planted trees and shrubs as we go in the summer season.
And I got into a discussion with someone the other
day and I kind of got my bristles up a
little bit because they were talking about using a soaker
hose through a new hedge of pretty good sized oarbravity
(39:37):
that had just been planted. I think they were maybe
twenty five gallon pots or baldenburle up. I'm not sure.
Snaking that soker hose through and so many times if
you don't use a soaker hose correctly, it doesn't do
a very good job soaking those brand new plants. You've
got to be really careful about using soaker hoss how
long they stay on. They're not for everything, and I'll
(39:59):
explain to that for you later on in the show.
But you know, if you're thinking about using socas is
for something like that, think about something else like stationary soakers,
drip irrigation, something like that, because you want to protect
that investment. All right, take a break, we'll come back.
We'll talk more about watering and rainfall and all kinds
of things with Ron Rothis here in the garden with
Ron Wilson.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Landscaping made easier with your personal yard boy. He's in
the garden and he's Ron Wilson.

we'll skip his lawn. But in the website at Ron
Wilson online dot com Facebook page in the garden with
Ron Wilson and guess what Joe is with us through
the entire show this morning. Good morning, sir, how does
this work again? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Danny's under the weather.
So Joe stepped up the plate last day and this
was a last minute call and got up this morning,
(01:12):
came in and is filling in for Dan who was
not feeling too well. So we hope Danny gets better.
But glad to have you in here. I'm sorry that
I'm not there. I'm in Columbus today, but so I
didn't get your soundtrack that we used to do. But
oh well, every now and then you get a call
to the bullpen and you know it is what it is.
(01:32):
You gotta do what you gotta do and close it out. Absolutely. Well.
We appreciate you doing that, We really do. And it's fun.
Haven't you in here for the whole show rather than
just the cup of Joe? Oh yeah, it's it's gonna
be a blast. I can tell you're excited to be here. Well,
like you said, it was, it was a last minute call.
So men, give me a couple of maybe two cups
(01:56):
of Joe before I I'm awake. You don't drink coffee,
you very rarely. When do you drink coffee when I
really really need it? So you only drink it if
you have you're you're really tired, and you and rather
than drinking mountain dew, did you used to drink mountain dew?
I used to drink mountain dew. I don't do that anymore,
(02:18):
I know. But so if you need that caffeine fix,
you go for the coffee, just to quick pick me up,
the quick pick me up. He says, all right, Well,
I'm glad you're here. We're gonna have fun. It's always
pleasure having you running the ship. Danny does a great job,
but you know, it's great when you get the chance
to fill in. And as a matter of fact, I
think you get to do that again a couple of weeks,
don't you. And he going he's going to be out
(02:39):
of town or something. Yeah, he's got something going on
that I'm gonna be filling in. So a couple of weeks,
maybe two week. We are honored. That's wonderful. It's it
is awesome. It is and it is your honor. It
is my honor, no doubt. Hey, I want to thank
you all, you all you for all get it out
(03:00):
hang in with me for the new graphics that you
have put on our Facebook page. In the garden with
Ron Wilson. You have created a whole slew of new graphics.
They are outstanding, and you almost got you have one
for every week. It looks like he showed me yesterday
we were I was at the studios and he was
(03:20):
showing me all these graphics he's put together for New
in the Garden with Ron Wilson. And that's pretty darn cool.
Huh huh, yeah, it's pretty You know. I just try
to to change it up a little bit because it
was getting kind of boring. So I just you know,
and what I do what I can do to help
the show. Well, see, you kept mentioning about the new
(03:42):
graphics that anybody noticed. Anybody noticed, and I don't think
anybody was realizing what you were doing. And then finally
realized you started making some of the uh it was
making some changes, and they are they're very cool, and
you've got them for seasonal and all kinds of stuff.
So I guess the question is, now, are you gonna
put those on T shirts? I could put them on
(04:03):
T shirts, but if if we're gonna sell them, you're
gonna have to take care of that. Well, why, because uh,
we've had we've we tried doing that in the past
and it was a big failure. So that's gonna have
to be on you for the garden show. Not necessarily,
not necessarily for the garden Show. Oh okay, okay, I
(04:23):
got it. Well, they would make I see, I'll put
along on the crest on the front, you could put
in I sleep or again up Saturday morning with the
yard boy and on the back and then in the
garden with Ron Wilson. And then you a good idea,
you should run with it, and then you sign each
one of those that's twenty dollars a signature. You're right,
we would never sell them exactly. Oh love it anyway.
(04:48):
So what's what is going on in your yard? I did,
Are you back to working outside now? Or will I
cut the grass the other day? Yeah, yep. I'm kind
of covered from my surgery, so I was like, I'm
going to go out and cut the grass. So because
it needed to be cut, yeah, because it was the
grass was waving, so I needed to get out. Hmm.
(05:09):
Still a got in that battery operated. No, that's no,
not yet. I'm working on though. Okay. Because I heard
Gary Gary actually Sullivan, mister home Improvement had a I
think somebody on talking about the new improved batteries that
they have on those things and how long they can
last and sound a pretty darn good at this stage.
You could even get a writing more that's electric. I
(05:31):
saw that. When you get me one. I can't imagine
how expensive those would be or maybe not, I don't know,
not as expensive as you think. Yeah, well, I know
the pushbowers have come down in price, so I've seen
them for two three hundred bucks. Well, then that's what
you pay for a gas one or more. So yeah, yeah,
(05:53):
My only issue with the electric ones is that their
their cut radius is still pretty small. That's right, you
like it? You want to push more with thirty six
inch wide rick cutting radius? Right right, right now? I
throw back and forth about five times. She is twenty,
So what are you? What are you looking for? Twenty four,
twenty eight? At least twenty four to twenty eight? Okay,
(06:16):
self propelled, well hopefully self propelled or teenager propelled. You
are going to have that much longer? Yeah, try and
tell me about it. Yeah, I know they're both going
to be out of that. Out of those teen years,
I still got I still got one. Who's nineteen, So
I say, Grace is out of that, right, Yeah, she's
(06:38):
she's twenty one now, Yes, she's legal, and trust me,
she she she took advantage of that fully this past
week did you take did you take her out? And
she turned twenty one? Party with her? I took her out,
all her friends took her out. I mean she had
she had a blast last weekend. Good, excellent. I do remember,
(06:59):
if I'm not mistaken, you leaving the show? I did
what when you left the show? Was it when she
was born? Oh? Yeah, we had that false alarm. Yeah,
the week before that's actually born. Yeah, that's right, it
was before she was born. Yep, Joe was there. Then
I look up and Joe is gone. Yeah. I had
the uh hey she's she's coming, and I'm like, okay,
(07:21):
I gotta get out of here. Bike h Yeah. Literally,
I don't know who filled in for you, God, but
it was very quick because it literally looked up and
you were gone. It was like, okay, where Joe go? Wow? Yeah,
and now she's twenty one years old. Now she's twenty one,
I mean her and on her own? Did you remind her?
(07:42):
Now you you wouldn't go to jail for she's not
on her own. But yeah, well, I mean, you know
you're not legally responsible now, truth, very true. Let's go
ahead and take a quick break here, and let's get
just because our little discombobulated in here. So let's go
ahead and take a quick break and we'll come back.
And that's because we had little issues getting hooked up
(08:03):
late because I am in Columbus, Ohio this morning, and
you got to hook these two things up. We had
programmer and guys and engineers trying to figure it out,
and we did right before we came on. So we
had to scramble to get everything together, but we did.
And that's what you don't see behind the scenes, and
that's what Joe Strecker and all the producers and engineers
are all about, because they make it all work like
nothing ever happened. Eight hundred eight two three eight two

I didn't. You should put your seriously, should put your
signature at the bottom of each of one of those.
Uh created by It's okay, created by Yeah, well you should.
We'll go with that. Uh. The website has uh see
today we have Barbi blecher on. Yes we do. So
(10:52):
there's a an article about colony. I guess is it
still called colony collapse disorder? Well, yeah, they they'll they'll
call it a call only collapse. Yes, well, when we
talked to Barbie, she better talk about B diarrhea or later, Joseph,
she always does just because of you. I hope so.
And I think that may be a part of the
the issue that they're finding out. So but we'll find
(11:14):
out too well, because I gave her her start, so
she better I beg you well, you know, and you
know what's funny, whenever she knows she give talks. She
gives a lot of talks to people. Would ask, so,
tell us about this bee diarrhea that Joe's always talking about,
and uh, and it's not. Yeah, yeah, we laugh about
it because it does sound kind of weird and thinking
(11:35):
of b having diarrhea, but it's a serious issue for him.
And then she rolls her eyes and says, oh goodness,
oh my gosh. Again it goes Streker Strucker again with
this B diarrhea. Rita is Rita's off for the for
the season, I believe, well, once a month, once a
month now, yep, yep. Figures on on the day that
(11:56):
that I'm filling in, that's what doesn't want to come
in first Saturday off for a while. Yeah, Well, can
I say Arita's recipe this week is? I remember when
she used to bring us stuff? She used to Yeah,
that was a long time ago. Yeah. Oh man, I
guess we fall out of favor. I guess she didn't
bring it to Dan anymore either. Say what she doesn't
(12:17):
bring it to Dan anymore either? She doesn't know and
she we must have really fallen out of favor. Really,
I do do. I don't know what I did, but
obviously I did something. Pushed the wrong button there. Yeah,
I'm sure you did. That's that's all you. It's I
take the blame. Well. This week her her recipe of
the week is is a little precursor for Father's Day
(12:40):
and some ribs are ribs are her recipe this week,
And that barbecue sauce looks mighty tasty. Yeah, Frank's Father's
Day barbecue. That's mister hiking Fell barbecue sauce. And uh yeah,
you just read through at the uh at the ingredients
and makes your mouth water. Definitely gonna have to try that.
(13:01):
That's not usually how how how I make my ribs,
but I'll try that. That way always always a different
way to do that. Oh yeah, now let me ask
you this. You're not a real spicy kind of guy, right,
I know you are personally, but when you're eating food, no,
I can't. I can't handle spicy. Okay, because it's got
(13:21):
that half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Well I could
handle half a teaspoon, that's oo. I was like if
it was like, you know, ghost pepper. No, no, no, yeah,
I was just curious if you're going to increase the
half of teaspoon. No, it'll probably stay about a half Okay,
all right. Otherwise I know you're a spicy kind of guy.
That's what I've heard. Anyway, That's that's what a lot
of people are. That's what the rumor is. Yeah, that's
(13:43):
what the online rumors are. Yes. Uh. And the plan
of the week is the climbing hydrangea. You know, we
should have we should have planned one of these in
your backyard. Which there's still time, is there? Okay, Well,
we'll have to take a look at that. It's been
a long time since the garden ferry has been over.
What was the last what was the last thing that
was contributed to your garden? Probably was the hardy banana
(14:05):
the garden. Yeah, the banana, the major old Yeah, the major,
the major player was. It was the hardy banana, yeah,
which I'm assuming is coming up slowly, but surely it's slowly.
It's called pups. Okay, all right, just checking making sure.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah, this is a this is one of the hydrangeas
that's hardly anybody knows about. It been around forever. May
not be the easiest one to find, uh, because you
have to have it. It's a climbing hydrang jeat and
you can you can actually force it to be a groundcover.
It's very woody. You can prone it to be a
shrub if you wanted to, but it's great as a climber.
(14:40):
So it's kind of slow at start, a couple three
years and then it kind of kicks in the gear.
And once it does, the flowers in the summertime are outstanding.
It's a late spring, early summer bloomer. The leaves are outstanding,
the bark is outstanding, fall color is great. Uh, it's
really good. And it's tough, durable, hearty, but it's climbing
hydraen jet. And there's even couple on the market now
(15:01):
that have variegated leaves so you get a little bit
of white and green. They love the shade. We'll take
the sun, but they'll do really well in the shade
for you as well. So again check that on when
I was climbing Hydraanda. Not a lot of folks know
about it. Nothing new, but should be used a lot
more in situations where we need a climbing vine. That's
(15:22):
you know, not gonna take over, but it's really cool,
gives you four season appeal. Pretty cool. Huh huh. All right,
well I'm going to open up the phone line, so
if you want to call in, let's get this party started.
Be sure. I'm ready. Nothing else, that's it, all right,
But it's too early for me to say if you
like what you see on the website, I can still
(15:43):
say it, okay, if you like what you see on
our website at Ron Wilson online dot com, facebook page
in the Garden with Ron Wilson. Joe Schreker, of course,

for doing that, no doubt, and for filling in for
Danny Gleeson who was under the weather and Dan and
Joe got the last minute call from the bullpen and
was able to come in and take care and cover
us this morning, so we do appreciate that. By the way,
I got some reports this week, and I know Joe
you're listening as we do this, but it looks like
the report for Father's Day, which is coming up next weekend. Yep.
(21:17):
Father's Day next Sunday, is going to the spending is
going to reach a record high this year. Dads are
finally getting more attention for Father's Day. Gifts. The average
spending is even close to.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Mom.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
They said that the average of most shoppers will spend
as a round between two hundred and maybe as much
as two hundred and seventy nine bucks for dad. But
that's not bad. Still not at Mom's level, but I
get it. I understand totally. But that's good. And so
it's kind of encouraging to see that the dads are
(21:57):
going to get get little bit more money. I have
always said, but I really don't want any gifts. I'm
good to go. Just to give me the you know,
pleasant day, you know, just treat me nice and give
me time to take a nap or two and just
kind of chill out and relax. And I'll tell you what.
You know, it's on Father's Day weekend, especially on Saturday,
if you've got a lot of chores to do outside.
(22:18):
You know, I always said, give yourself a little present.
Kind of fake it. Just go out there and fake it.
Now you might you know, you might have to mow
the lawn. Okay, she get that knocked out. But then
you go around and act like you're pruning, you know,
just kind of fake like you're pruning, like you're sweating hard.
You know, just kind of clipping the bushes and things
like that. Maybe get the rake out, act like you're raking,
but don't really do anything. Maybe slip in your favorite beverage,
(22:40):
you know, like in your your gardening holster, or have
that cooler hitting underneath the shrub somewhere. But make it
look like you're out there really working hard, you know,
on that day before Father's Day. Man Dad was out
there all day yesterday working in the yard and pruning
and sprucing things up and raking and weeding and stuff,
and I can just see him sweating like crazy. But
(23:01):
you just kind of fake them out. Just act like
you're doing it, you know, and maybe spray a little
water on yourself every now and then make it look
like you're sweating. And then of course cover up. If
it's your favorite adult beverage and it's in a can,
cover that up so people don't see what it is.
But you know, you can kind of make it, make
fake it and have a great Saturday, and then they
feel they kind of feel, you know, like, wow, dad
(23:23):
really worked hard on Saturday. Let's take care of them
on Sunday. What do you think? I think it's a
good game. Plan myself. But I do want to remind
you that dads like which By the way, the survey
that they took said it one of the most interesting
and rising in popularity gifts was the meat of the Month.
(23:45):
I know you'd like that one, Joe Strecker and Beer
of the month. So that you sign your dad up
for a meat of the month and beer of the month.
How can you go wrong with that one? But dads
also like things from the garden, just like Mom likes
things from the garden. You know, if he's got a
favorite tree that maybe he's always wanted, a plant like
that Japanese maple or some type of little ornamental tree
(24:07):
and a special garden, that's pretty cool to do that
for dad, and he would always think of you, you know,
for something like that. Dad's like really cool professional gardening tools,
you know, the high end stuff. They're really nice bypass
fruit pruners, they're really nice soil knife. You're d having
a soil knife if he works out in the yard
(24:29):
and garden does a lot of gardening, you know where
he's really involved with uh uh, you know, digging and
transplanting and container gardening and things like that. Get him
a soil knife. Now you can go on line. There's
all kinds of soil knives out there that are available
for you. Soil knife Hory Corey. Sometimes it's also called
h R h O r I K O r I.
(24:52):
But but that soil knife is a great gift, and
of course you hear me talking about it all the time.
This past week we were kind of trying to finish
up which is the earliest Ron Wilson has ever gotten
involved with his container gardens. But we're actually finishing up
our plantings already, first week at June. I can't believe
this is happening. It's usually the mid to the latter
(25:13):
part of June, and I'm finally getting out there starting
to plant. But some of the containers that we just
kind of, you know, took off the fold and left
the roots in there, which I will do and just
chop them up in the springtime. Some of them I
had to cut to get them out of the pots.
But that soil knife is so convenient. You stick that
down there. It's like a like a butcher knife, and
(25:33):
you go around, you work and it just cuts got
of serrated edge and you can just cut those roots
and pull that stuff out of those containers kind of chime.
You churn up that soil a little bit with that
soil knife. It's great. It's great for using in the ground.
You can use it for cutting off pansies, you can
use for all kinds of stuff. It's like a gardener
survival knife, but again it's called a soil knife, and
(25:54):
you can Those are great and if you get a
really good one, they're kind of indestructible. I get mine,
and again there's a whole bunch of them out there.
Just google it, you'll find it. But I get mine
from am Leonard out of Pickwell, Ohio, and they have
been in the professional tool line forever and they finally
(26:15):
did their own retail online retail for homeowners. It's called
Gardener's Edge, but if you do am Leonard, they'll take
you their website. You can order off of that too,
but it's Gardner's Edge. And I like theirs. That thing is,
Like I said, I give them away all the time
because people want to know what is that thing that
you've got, And I get them away and on and
(26:35):
I probably have bought twenty or thirty of them from
am Litard. But you can't break them. And they last forever.
Just take care of it. It'll lasts forever. But it's
called a soil knife. And dad would love a soil
knife if he doesn't have one. Dads would love a
really high end bypass pair of pruners if he doesn't
(26:55):
have one. Dads would like a really nice like an
illumin them shaft, de handle, short square spade, you got
something like that. And I've got one and I've had
again from Am Leonard that I've had for probably thirty years.
And that thing, you know, I sharpened about every other year.
(27:16):
It cuts through things like like butter. It's it's a
great tool. You can't again, you can't break it. But
that's another great one for dads if they get out
and do some digging and edging in the beds and
things like that. That's another great one for me to
have as well. So keep that in mind. Guard. You know,
grant fathers do like gifts for and from the garden,
so you might want to keep those as well in
(27:37):
mind as well. But I'll tell you the soil knife
is great when one last one before we take a break,
and our numbers eight hundred and eight two three eight
two five five I've always talked about the gardening gloves
that are are just outstanding, and they're made by Louisville Slugger,
(27:57):
and I tell you what they are. They're line of
gardening gloves and it's a goat skin is phenomenal, and
they're hinged. They're approved by the they're hinged naturally, but
they're approved and padded. They're approved by the Arthritis Foundation
for folks that have arthritis. The garden gloves are unbelievable.
You should be able to see them in the garden centers,
(28:19):
but you don't anymore. You have to go online to
order them. I'll and I don't have. I was looking
here my notes to see if I had their website,
but I don't. I'll look it up during the break.
But that's another one you'd have to order. But those
garden gloves are absolutely outstanding. And you can wash them
out with soap and water, let them drive and they
come right back into form fitting fitting as well. They're
like a like a golf club, a golf glove or
(28:40):
a batting glove, but it's for gardening and they are outstanding. Anyway,
a few suggestions for Father's Day, which is coming up
next Sunday quick break, we come back more tips to
share with you, taking your calls at eight hundred eight
two three eight two five five. Here in the garden
with Ron Wilson.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Landscaping made easier with your personal yard boy. He's in
the garden and he's Ron Wilson. This is fifty five
KRC and iHeartRadio station.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
It's the how to Saturday here on fifty five KRC.
And here's our lineup. Nine o'clock Gary Sullivan for the
best gorm repairdom improvement. Then at one o'clock you got
Dane Donovan with the car Show. Then we've got Victor Gray,
we got Sean Hannity and it all happens right here
on fifty five KRC, the talk station. Welcome back. You're
in the garden with Ron Wilson again that toll free
number eight hundred eight two three eight two five five
(29:50):
talking about yardning to the yarning phone lines. We shall
go Stella in Delaware.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Good morning, Good morning, Ron, nice to talk to you again.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Two questions if you don't mind, sure the first one
is about poppies. I get lovely buds and then just
below the stem it gets a black stem and then
the bud slaps over. Do you know what causes that?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
I'm trying to think that does the does the bud
rot as does eventually? But does it start to decay
as well? Or does it just fall? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (30:24):
It just never opens. It's just you know, it gets
a black spot just below the bud. Yeah, and then
and then it flaps over and it never opens.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
And do you ever get any of the flowers to
open at all? Or just swept through it?
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Okay, I get, I get knife until you know one
or two of them will that will happen?
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Yeah, And I'm trying to think there are a couple
of stem blights that they can get. I'm trying to
think if any of that would be a buttritis. But again,
it's it's something that you rarely would spray for. And
I can't think what you would even spray for it
to try to protect the because the thing of it
is you probably don't. Do you see it every year?
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (31:06):
Well but not all of them but not all.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
And that's the that's the kicker and a lot of
times to use a funge aside as a preventative earlier
in the season. Uh, you don't know whether you need
it or not, and you hate wasting the money in
the spray, uh to to do anything about it. The
rest of the plant still looks good. Yes, yeah, so
you know, I I don't know that I would even
(31:29):
be worried about spraying for it. I think what I
would do is go through when that happens and shows up,
is to clip those off down below, get rid of
the stem, but the whole nine yards. Don't let that
fall down around the plant. And by physically removing that away,
we take that those spores that may be right there,
get them away from the plant, and maybe over time
that will help to keep it under control. Otherwise you'd
(31:50):
be looking at spraying with a fung a side as
soon as they start to appear in the spring and
trying to protect them through the spring season. And I
don't think you want to go through that. So I
think at this stage, you know, if it's not too bad,
I would probably go through, clip them out and throw
those away. And if it gets to a really bad
problems where you're losing all the flowers and I start
to look at a fungicidal application that would start early
(32:13):
in the season and maybe every ten days or two
weeks to carry you through the spring to help protect
those it's through that time.
Speaker 5 (32:21):
Okay, so just cut the stem out.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Yeah, so take the whole great down and take that
whole stem out of there and throw it and throw
it away.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
Yeah, okay, it's hard to do because they're so pretty. Yes, question,
I have a seago palm, and the fronts I just
turn yellow. I don't know my watering too much, not enough?
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Uh, don't forget on those palms now. Are they the
bottom leaves that are turning yellow or all the way through?
Speaker 5 (32:50):
No, it's a seagod palm. Are you familiar with good palm?
Speaker 1 (32:56):
As it? The palm is right, okay, well I'm trying that.
I'm drawing. I'm thinking of palm.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
Right right, yes, And it's flat. The fronts are all
on the same level. There's just one level of front
and they look beautiful. They I always get new blooms
in the summer, but then they just get you know,
they just all turn yellow.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
All of them are again, all of them yellow, the.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Other one after the other.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Okay, because because usually with the sago palms there, they're
like a layer. So you've got a layer and you
get another one, another one.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
And the reason is only have one layer simply because
the bottom layer always turns yellow. Then I get new
ones in the summer, right, and then they start to
turn yellow.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
But they naturally do that as they limb themselves up
over the years, and that's why I'm trying.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
I never get two levels, that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
But but they are getting replaced when the yellow ones
start to appear at the bottom, which my point being
is that's the way palms do that. Now with the Sagos,
you want you'd rather have four or five levels. So
you see a more mature one, and they've got that
trunk that's about eight or ten inches in diameter. And
of course over the years that limbs up as those
levels die off, that they naturally shed. But they usually
(34:13):
have another layer or two above them, so as they
lose that bottom layer, they're forming a new layer on top.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
Inside, all I have is one layer because they all
just die away in summer, get beautiful fronds again, right,
and then during the year they just saw. I don't know,
do you do I wander too much.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
That could be a well, you know what's funny is
you get the same symptoms both ways. I think the
thing is, if you were watering too much, you would
start to see a decline in the overall plant, you know,
as far as the trunk, their root system starting to decay,
that type of a thing. Whereas you underwater they will
dry rot over time, but you don't see that, you know,
the mushy decay. The way I look at watering these
(34:56):
and I'm assuming you take this in over the wintertime,
take it back outside in the summer, yes, yeah, is
that you know, of course in the wintertime as much
sun as possible. Obviously they would love a really bright
area when they're when they're in that house. That will
cause them to yellow a little bit too. But you
really slow down on the water when it's indoors over
the wintertime. I usually let those things get dry, stay
(35:20):
dry for a little bit, soak them well. Dry, stay
drive for a little bit, soak them well. And I
always use lukewarm to warm water when I'm watering over
the wintertime. That seems to work better than trying to
you know, a little more consistent moisture. So I really
let them dry out let us let them get dry,
and then come back give them a goot soaking. That way,
you know you're watering well enough to keep the plant supported.
(35:43):
But on the same token, you're not leaving that soil
so wet that it starts to decline down below. And
of course sunlight's going to be very very important as well.
They're pretty tough indoors. I mean, it's a good indoor
plant to have. But you know they again the yellowing.
I just I keep going back to that, trying to
think of what else could be the issue. How about feeding?
Speaker 5 (36:06):
No, I don't feed it that maybe because you said
you said something. I have it in front of a window.
Does it not like the direct sun?
Speaker 1 (36:14):
No? It does. That's why I say, you know, have
given as much light as you can. It loves it.
I mean, think of think about where they naturally grow.
And of course they're they love that app you know,
the full the great sun. Uh, and they'll take that
with no problem. And of course when you take it outside,
it's good to acclimate it little, you know, and and
do a half a day of sun and then if
you work it into a full sun area, do that
(36:34):
for a week or so. Then get it into the
full sun. But they love the light. That's a good
thing for them. So the more light, the merrier for
you inside. But maybe try maybe try the feeding too.
I mean, you don't want to overfeed it. Now's a
great time to do that as we're in the spring
and summer season. And then of course you start to
back off as you get into the fall as you
bring it back inside the house. But uh, you know,
(36:57):
as you're watering, maybe try a wall soluble, just an
all purpose water soluble fertilizer that you could use inside.
You know that you can find bagged fertilizer. I think
even like Fertilom makes them four palms, uh, specifically designed
for palms, but any all purpose fertilizer would be fine.
That's something you might want to give it a shot
as well. And I'll tell you what when they start
(37:19):
to yellow like that, feel free to take a couple
of pictures of the palm, take something up close and
an overall picture of the palm. Email them to me
and I'll be more happy to take a look at
it and see what you know if I could try
to diagnose something looking at the plant from your email pictures.
Speaker 5 (37:34):
Okay, where should I email it to.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
It's Ron Wilson at iHeartMedia dot com.
Speaker 5 (37:41):
At iHeartMedia dot com.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Oh, iHeartMedia dot com, and send me the pictures and
I'll get back to you on that.
Speaker 5 (37:47):
Okay, sounds good.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
All right, and somebody do me favor if you have
that with your poppy, do the same thing. Send me
a couple of pictures of those and I'll take a
quick look and see if there's something else I might
see on that stem. All right, good talk with you.
Appreciate the call. Great questions. Sago palms. They stick you,
but they're a great palm, and they're very tough, very durble.
I like the look, but typically you get that it's
(38:11):
a layer down low and one or two layers above
it kind of up. They kind of go up and
fan out, and the older they get that trunk is
so cool because it's kind of fat and each layer
forms that nice little ridge or rim around. There. A
pretty interesting palm, pretty much available at most of the
garden centers in the springtime. You'll find out with the tropicals.
(38:33):
But it's tough and durable. It does well in the house,
does well outside as well. But again, feeding might be
an important issue there for you too, so do keep
that in mind. By the way, talking about watering and
coming up on our next hour, we're going to talk
to Ron rothis are certified arbors and the hobby meteorologist
about all the rainfall we've had this spring, or it
seems like we've had a lot of rainfall. He's going
(38:53):
to tell us what our averages have been and where
exactly we are, but as we start to transition into
the summer seat, and he's going to tell us what
his forecast is there as well. This transition period where
plants have been set up with what I think has
been pretty good rainfall all spring, and you start getting
into the hot, drier times of the year in the summer,
they put out a lot of fold it's a lot
(39:15):
of new growth. How important is it now to really
watch our watering as we go through, especially those newly
planted trees and shrubs as we go in the summer season.
And I got into a discussion with someone the other
day and I kind of got my bristles up a
little bit because they were talking about using a soaker
hose through a new hedge of pretty good sized oarbravity
(39:37):
that had just been planted. I think they were maybe
twenty five gallon pots or baldenburle up. I'm not sure.
Snaking that soker hose through and so many times if
you don't use a soaker hose correctly, it doesn't do
a very good job soaking those brand new plants. You've
got to be really careful about using soaker hoss how
long they stay on. They're not for everything, and I'll
(39:59):
explain to that for you later on in the show.
But you know, if you're thinking about using socas is
for something like that, think about something else like stationary soakers,
drip irrigation, something like that, because you want to protect
that investment. All right, take a break, we'll come back.
We'll talk more about watering and rainfall and all kinds
of things with Ron Rothis here in the garden with
Ron Wilson.
