>> HI, AND WELCOME TO
MID-AMERICAN GARDENER.
WE'RE GLAD THAT YOU'VE JOINED US
BECAUSE WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT
PLANTS.
MAYBE DISEASES.
AND ALL KINDS OF INTERESTING
THINGS TO DO ON THE INDOOR AND
THE OUTDOOR GARDEN.
SO THANK YOU.
AND LET'S SEE WHAT IS GOING TO
HAPPEN TODAY, BECAUSE WE'RE
REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
MY NAME IS DIANNE NOLAND, AND I
TEACH HORTICULTURE AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS.
I'LL HANDLE PLANT QUESTIONS LIKE
PERENNIALS OR CUT FLOWERS.
HOWEVER, THERE ARE THREE HIGHLY
INTELLIGENT AND TALENTED PEOPLE
HERE TODAY.
AND LET'S FIND OUT WHO IS HERE,
AND THEY'LL MAYBE ANSWER A
QUESTION OR TWO.
CHUCK VOIGT, LET'S START WITH
YOU.
>> HELLO, DIANNE.
I AM CHUCK VOIGT.
AND I RETIRED FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF CROP SCIENCES
WHERE I WAS A VEGETABLE AND HERB
SPECIALIST.
SO THOSE ARE THE AREAS WHERE WE
CAN FIND SOME COMMON GROUND
TONIGHT.
I HAVE A QUESTION.
IT'S ABOUT PEP DUE PEPPERS.
AND JUST A --
>> HOW DO YOU SPELL PEP DUE.
>> PEPPADAW.
THE QUESTION IS ABOUT THOSE.
THE PERSON USED THEM FOR THE
FIRST TIME CHRISTMAS DAY.
STUFFED WITH A GARLIC GOAT
CHEESE.
AND, WOW, WERE THEY TERRIFIC.
SPICY AND A LITTLE SWEET AT THE
SAME TIME.
I DON'T WANT TO GROW THEM.
I CURRENTLY GROW POBLANO AND
JALAPENO PEPPERS.
I WONDERED IF THE PEPPADUES
WOULD BE SIMILAR IN DIFFERENT
GROWING CONDITIONS.
WELL, HERE IS WHAT I FOUND OUT
ABOUT PAPPADEW PEPPERS.
SUPPOSEDLY A STRING WILL STRAY
PLANT WAS FOUND IN SOUTH AFRICA
THAT HAD THESE SMALL,
THICK-WALLED CHERRY PEP PERS ON
IT.
AND A COMPANY SEIZED UPON THAT
AND REGISTERED THE TRADEMARK
PEPPADEW.
SO IF YOU CAN GROW THEM, YOU
CAN'T CALL THEM PEPPADEW BECAUSE
THAT WOULD BE TRADEMARK
INFRINGEMENT.
AND THERE'S ALSO SOME QUESTION
AS TO WHETHER IT'S THE
UNIQUENESS OF THE PEPPERS
THEMSELVES OR THE PROCESS BY
WHICH THEY'RE CANNED AND SENT
OUT AND MARKETED.
AND KIND OF LIKE SOME OF THE
SPICE ISLAND TRADE WAY BACK A
FEW CENTURIES AGO, THEY'RE VERY
TIGHT ABOUT -- THEY DON'T WANT
THE SEEDS TO GET OFF WHERE
THEY'RE GROWING THEM.
BUT IF YOU GO ON THE INTERNET,
YOU DO SEE PEOPLE WHO HAVE OR
THINK THEY HAVE THEM AND ARE
OFFERING TO SPREAD THEM AROUND
TO THEIR FRIENDS.
SO THE OTHER THING I WOULD SAY
IS CALL THEM SOMETHING ELSE
BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO GET
INTO A TRADEMARK WAR WITH
SOMEBODY WHO HAS MORE MONEY THAN
LAWYERS.
>> MOTIVATION.
>> YES.
>> PEPPADEW.
WE HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING HERE
TODAY.
>> AND THEY SHOULD -- I THINK
IT'S JUST A REGULAR -- IT'S THE
SAME AS THE OTHER PEPPERS.
THEY SHOULD GROW THE SAME WAY.
START THEM INDOORS.
PUT THEM OUT IN MID TO LATE MAY.
>> AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
OKAY.
GOOD.
THANK YOU, CHUCK, VERY MUCH.
AND NOW LET'S GO TO JIM
SCHUSTER.
>> HI.
I'M JIM SCHUSTER.
I'M A RETIRED HORTICULTURE AND
PLANT PATHOLOGIST.
AND I GOT E-MAILS TODAY ASKING
ABOUT THIS DISEASE AND IT'S PEST
LA P E S T O -- P E S T A L O T
I A.
THIS IS A GENUS, AND IT HAS 50
DIFFERENT SPECIES.
IT REALLY LOVES JUNIPERS AND
ARBOR VIE TAS IN ILLINOIS.
YOU CAN SEE THE PICTURE UP HERE.
IT'S ON THE EDGE OF THE NEEDLE.
BUT IT LOOKS BETTER THAN SMALL
TWIGS AND EVEN INTO LARGER
TWIGS.
AND IT'S KNOWN TO KILL LARGE AND
THE LARGER ONES TEND TO ATTACK
LOWER LIMBS ON THE TREES.
IT LIKES THIS WEATHER WE'RE
HAVING NOW.
IT LIKES COOL, DAMP WEATHER
BECAUSE IT STRESSES THE PLANTS.
AND THIS DISEASE ACTUALLY COMES
IN THREE FORMS.
AN ENDOPHYTE WHICH MEANS IT
LIVES IN HEALTHY AREAS.
IT'S A STEP FOOIT WHICH MEANS IT
EATS SOMETHING THAT'S ALREADY
DEAD.
THERE'S SOME OF THESE SPCIES
THAT ARE LIVING IN A HEALTHY
PLANT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM.
IT GOES UNDER STRESS AND IT
STARTS KILLING IT.
WHENEVER IT KILLS IT, IT DIGESTS
IT.
ANYWAY, KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR
EVERGREENS, ESPECIALLY THE ARBOR
VIE TAS.
AND IT'S MOSTLY ON THE UPRIGHT
TREES I SEE IT WORSE.
I'VE SEEN IT ON THE UPRIGHT JUNE
PERS I HAVE SEEN IT A LOT THIS
TIME OF YEAR.
AND WHEN IT'S ON THE BRANCHES,
YOU CUT THE BRANCH OFF.
IF IT'S ON THE SIDE BRANCH OF
THE TWIG, YOU CUT THE BRANCH
OFF.
IF IT'S ON THE LEAVES LIKE THIS,
LIVE WITH IT.
WAIT UNTIL IT DRIES OUT.
[ LAUGHING ]
>> I DON'T KNOW ANY FUNGICIDE
THAT WORKS ON IT.
>> OKAY.
>> AT LEAST IT DIDN'T GET THE
CHAINSAW.
>> RIGHT.
OH, BOY.
LIVE WITH IT.
JIM, THANK YOU.
AND NOW LET'S GO TO DR. TOM
VOIGT.
>> HI, DIANNE.
I'M TOM VOIGT.
I WORK IN THE DEPARTMENT OF CROP
SCIENCES AND I WORK WITH
PERENNIAL GRASSES, TURF GRASSES,
ORNAMENTAL GRASSES.
WHILE NOT A GRASS, I BROUGHT
FROM MY SHOW-AND-TELL TONIGHT, I
BROUGHT A WEED THAT WE HAD SEEN
A LOT OF RECENTLY.
>> OH, YES.
>> THIS IS HEN BIT.
HEN BIT IS A COOL SEASON ANNUAL
WEED IN THE MINT FAMILY.
IF YOU'VE BEEN OUT IN THE FAMILY
AND SEEN PURPLE FIELDS AS YOU'VE
DRIVEN BY THEM, YOU'RE SEEING
HEN BIT IN BLOOM.
SO AS A COOL SEASON ANNUAL, HEN
BIT STARTED TO -- THE SEEDS
GERMINATED LAST FALL OR EARLY
WINTER.
AND THEY STARTED GROWING AGAIN
AS WE GOT WARMER CONDITIONS AND
MOISTURE AND FLOWER.
AND THEY'LL DIE -- THESE PLANTS
WILL DIE AS TEMPERATURES GET
WARMER.
IF YOU WANT TO USE A HERBICIDE
TO CONTROL THIS, YOU WOULD HAVE
HAD TO PUT IT DOWN AT THE END OF
SUMMER OR EARLY IN FALL TO
CONTROL IT AT THAT TIME.
IT'S EASY TO PULL.
IT'S AN ANNUAL.
IT HASN'T DEVELOPED A HUGE ROOT
SYSTEM.
BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S IN BLOOM AND
PROBABLY MAKING LOTS OF SEEDS
FOR THE FUTURE.
>> OH, YEAH.
SO GET AHEAD OF THE SEED.
>> BY THE WAY, IT'S IN THE MINT
FAMILY.
AND ONE OF THE INTERESTING --
LIKE GROUND IVEY, GROUND IVY IS
A PERENNIAL.
ONE INTERESTING THING IS THEY
HAVE SQUARE STEMS.
IF YOU HAVE A WEED THAT HAS
SQUARE STEMS, IT'S VERY POSSIBLY
IN THE MINT FAMILY.
>> SOMETIMES IT GETS
MISDIAGNOSED AS GROUND IVY.
>> IT DOES.
AND THIS ONE HAS THE SMALLER
LEAVE AND THE PER FOAL YIT
LEAVES OR THE LEAVES JOINED
AROUND THE BASE AT THE STEM.
>> RIGHT.
IT DOESN'T TEND TO CREEP AND
ROOT AT ALL OF THOSE THINGS?
>> YES.
GROUND IVY IS PROBABLY THE WEED
I GET THE MOST CALLS ABOUT.
OR CREEPING CHARLIE.
>> YES.
IT'S MUCH MORE PERNICIOUS.
>> YES.
>> I HAVEN'T SEEN A FLOWERING --
GROUND IVY FLOWERING YET.
>> I HAVE.
>> I SECOND THAT.
>> OH.
>> A FEW FLOWERS.
>> IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN AT MY
HOUSE TOO.
[ LAUGHING ]
>> I HAVE TO GET GOING.
>> I HAD DANDELIONS LAST WEEK.
>> OH, BOY.
GOOD.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
IT'S GOOD -- BECAUSE I HAVE HAD
A LOT OF PEOPLE ASK ME WHAT'S
THE PURPLE.
AND I DON'T EVEN LET THEM FINISH
THE SENTENCE.
I SAY HEN BIT.
WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF IT.
THE PURPLE HEN BIT.
[ LAUGHING ]
>> WELL, SAY, I WANT TO FOLLOW
UP ON A QUESTION FROM LAST WEEK.
SOMEONE TALKED ABOUT A TREE, A
WHITE FLOWERING TREE.
A RELATIVE IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS.
SHE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT
PERSON HAD SAID.
SHE THOUGHT IT WAS SOFUS.
BUT AFTER THE TREE WE THOUGHT
MAYBE IT WAS SORBIS.
I HAVE A SECOND ONE IT MIGHT BE.
WE HAD A PICTURE OF SORBIS.
IT'S A DECIDUOUS TREE CALLED
MOUNTAIN ASH.
IT WILL GET THE CLUSTERED
FRUITS.
SO IT COULD HAVE BEEN SORBIS.
I DON'T HAVE PICTURES OF THE
SECOND ONE, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE
MOUNTAIN ASH RIGHT THERE.
THE SECOND PLANT IT COULD HAVE
BEEN, I WANT TO THANK DEE
BECAUSE SHE BROUGHT THIS TO MY
ATTENTION.
IT COULD BE SOPHORA AND THAT IS
THE PAGODA TREE.
IT'S IN THE PEA FAMILY.
IT COULD BE YELLOW FLOWERS AND
IT COULD BE VIOLET FLOWERS.
BUT ANYWAY, IT CAN GET QUITE A
BIT TALLER.
IT SAYS ZONE 5, BUT I THINK IT'S
PROBABLY ZONE 6, WHICH WE TALKED
ABOUT BEFORE THE SHOW THAT ZONE
6 IS CREEPING FARTHER NORTH IN
ILLINOIS-INDIANA-MISSOURI RANGE.
SO I THINK IT ACTUALLY IS ZONE
6.
SO THAT'S WHY WE DON'T SEE IT AS
MUCH HERE, BUT WE DO SEE IT IN
SOUTHERN ILLINOIS.
OKAY.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE FOR THAT.
AND SO IT TOOK A COMMITTEE TO
KIND OF ANSWER THAT QUESTION,
AND I THANK YOU FOR THAT.
LET'S GO TO OUR SPECIAL DID YOU
KNOW VIDEO NEXT.
>> ORGANISMS WHICH CAUSE PLANT
DISEASE INCREASE IF YOU GROW THE
SAME PLANT IN A SINGLE LOCATION
YEAR AFTER YEAR.
THIS CAN BE PREVENTED BY
ROTATING PLANTS TO OTHER PARTS
OF YOUR GARDEN.
>> THAT IS A GREAT IDEA.
I ROTATE MY VEGETABLE GARDEN
DEFINITELY.
WELL, WE ARE GOING TO GO TO THE
PHONE LINES NOW.
AND MARY KAY HAS A PERENNIAL
QUESTION ON LINE TWO.
HI, MARY KAY.
>> HI.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY CALL.
>> YOU'RE WELCOME.
>> CALLER: I GOT A FEW BASKETS
OF FLOWERS FROM MY BROTHER'S
FUNERAL AND THEY HAVE HYACINTHE
AND TULIPS AND DAFFODIL AND EVEN
A HYDRANGEA BUSH IN ONE.
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO KEEP THEM
AND PLANT THEM IN THE YARD
AGAIN.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT I CAN DO TO DO
THAT.
>> I'LL HANDLE THE BULB QUESTION
IF SOMEONE WANTS TO DO THE
HYDRANGEA.
YOU WILL TREAT THOSE BULBS AS IF
THEY ARE ANNUALS.
YOU'LL ENJOY THEM IN THE HOUSE.
AND THEN YOU'LL WATER THEM UNTIL
THE LEAVES HAVE YELLOWED.
AND THAT'S CALLED RIPENING.
AT THAT TIME, THEN YOU CAN
DIVIDE THOSE AND HYACINTHE AND
TULIPS AND THE BIGGER DAFFODILS
ARE PLANTED SIX INCHES DEEP BY
SIX INCH SPACING.
IF YOU HAVE THE SMALLER HEADED
DAFFODILS, THAT'S A THREE INCH
DEEP BY THREE INCH SPACING.
AND YOU CAN PLANT THEM AFTER
THEY'RE RIPENED.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL
FALL.
YOU CAN WAIT UNTIL FALL.
BUT IT JUST GOES DORMANT.
YOU PLANT IT.
IT STAYS DORMANT UNTIL ROOT
INITIATATION AND FLOWER
INITIATATION WITH COLD WEATHER.
NOW, HYDRANGEA, DOES ANYBODY
WANT TO ANSWER THAT?
>> WELL, I'LL TRY.
>> THAT A BOY.
>> WELL, I DON'T KNOW HOW BIG IT
IS.
BUT THE SOONER YOU CAN GET IT
PLANTED OUTSIDE, THE BETTER OFF
YOU WILL BE.
BECAUSE I'M ASSUMING IT'S IN
FULL LEAF BECAUSE IT'S IN THE
POT AND GROWING.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WATCH
THE TEMPERATURE.
YOU DON'T WANT TO BE PUTTING IT
OUT WHEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
FROST OR REALLY COLD WEATHER
BECAUSE IT IS IN FULL LEAF.
BUT I WOULD PLANT IT OUT AND
MAKE SURE IT'S FULLY WATERED.
HYDRANGEAS DO PREFER FULL SUN
AND GOOD DRAINAGE.
AND YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER
MULCHING IT JUST BEFORE THE HOT,
DRY WEATHER OCCURS.
IT'S EASIER TO KEEP IT MOIST.
AND DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE
PLANT, FIGURE AT LEAST THIS YEAR
AND MAYBE EVEN NEXT YEAR FOR
ESTABLISHMENT WITH ENOUGH WHERE
IT'S SPREAD OUT.
AND WHEN YOU'RE TAKING IT OUT OF
THE POT, CHECK TO SEE IF THE
ROOTS ARE GROWING AROUND IN A
CIRCLE.
BECAUSE IF THEY ARE, YOU EITHER
NEED TO PULL THEM APART OR TAKE
A KNIFE AND SLICE THE ROOTS
ABOUT THREE OR FOUR INCHES
AROUND.
AND MAKE SURE YOU CUT.
YOU HAVE ALL OF THE ROOTS.
OTHERWISE IT CAN CAUSE A LOT OF
PROBLEMS LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD
AND CAUSE THE PLANT TO DIE.
SO MAKE SURE YOU CUT THEM OR
SPREAD THEM OUTWARD.
AND THEN PLANT THEM.
AND MAKE SURE THAT THE SOIL IN
THE POT IS EQUAL TO THE SOIL ON
THE GROUND WHEN YOU ARE DONE
PLANTING.
>> THAT'S A GOOD POINT ABOUT THE
CIRCLING ROOTS.
ANYTHING YOU CAN ROUGH UP THE
ROOTS.
DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD,
CHUCK?
>> WELL, THE -- AFTER THEY'VE
BEEN FORCED, DAFFODILS COME UP
BETTER JUST GENERALLY SPEAKING.
>> HYACINTHE COME BACK.
DAFFODILS ARE THE BEST,
HYACINTHE AND THEN TULIPS.
>>.
>> CAN I ADD ANOTHER ONE.
I HAVE FOUND THAT IT WORKS GREAT
ON SANDY SOIL.
IT DOES NOT WORK WELL ON REALLY
HEAVY CLAY.
I HAVE HEAVY CLAY.
I ALWAYS PLANT THEM AT ABOUT
FOUR INCHES.
>> OKAY.
>> THAT'S AT THE BASE OF THE
BULB.
>> RIGHT.
AT THE BASE.
>> IT'S AT THE BOTTOM.
>> MOST TROWELS HAVE A SIX INCH
SOIL ON THEM.
IF YOU MOVE TO HOLLAND, THEN
YOU'RE GOING TO PLANT IT EIGHT
INCHES DEEP BECAUSE IT'S VERY
SANDY.
I DON'T MEAN HOLLAND, MICHIGAN.
>> THEY GROW SOME THERE.
>> THEY DO BECAUSE THEY HAVE
SANDY SOIL.
SO 4, 6 OR 8 INCHES, DEPENDING
ON THE SOIL.
OKAY.
VERY GOOD.
THANKS FOR ALL OF THOSE
COMMENTS.
SO LET'S GO TO DONNA'S QUESTION
ABOUT HONEYSUCKLE ON LINE FIVE.
HI, DONNA.
>> CALLER: HI.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY CAR.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> CALLER: HOW DO YOU KILL IT
SO IT WILL NEVER COME BACK?
>> THAT IS A VERY GREAT
QUESTION.
I'M GOING TO LOOK AT EVERYONE
ELSE OVER HERE SO I CAN LISTEN
FOR MYSELF.
>> I'M GOING TO SUGGEST SOME
ROUNDUP AFTER IT'S FULLY LEAFED
OUT.
IT MAY -- GIVE IT A COUPLE OF
WEEKS TO SPREAD DOWN.
IF IT DOESN'T WANT TO DIE IN TWO
WEEKS, RESPRAY IT.
IF IT IS DYING OR YOU WANT TO
TRY THIS, YOU CAN CUT IT OFF
ABOUT AN INCH FROM THE GROUND,
EVERYTHING OFF, AND THEN YOU
HAVE TO GET SOME KILLER.
AND YOU TAKE ALL OF THE STEMS
AND HELP KILL ALL OF THE CHUTES.
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE IS TRYING TO GET ALL OF
THOSE ROOTS TO DIE.
BECAUSE IF YOU LEAVE ANY ROOTS,
IT'S GOING TO TRY TO REGROW.
>> THAT'S ADDRESSING A BIG ONE.
I WAS WEEDING SMALLER ONES
YESTERDAY.
AND AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR,
DON'T WAIT UNTIL IT'S DRY AND
HOT.
BUT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, THEY
WILL PULL.
AND WE'RE TALKING A FOOT, MAYBE
18 INCHES.
SINGLE STEM THING.
>> ONE YEAR TO MAYBE TWO.
>> YES.
AND THAT IS IT.
I MEAN, I'M PRETTY -- I'M NOT
THAT STRONG.
>> YES, YOU ARE.
YOU'RE PRETTY.
>> NO.
I MEAN MUSCULAR.
>> THAT TOO.
[ LAUGHING ]
>> BUT YOU REALLY HAVE TO KEEP
AT IT.
>> I THINK I MIGHT EVEN GO A
LITTLE BIT HARDER CORE THAN
ROUNDUP.
>> OKAY.
>> IF SHE'S LOOKING FOR MAYBE
SOMETHING THAT CONTAINS SOME
OTHER BROAD LEAF HERBICIDE THAT
WOULD BE TAKEN UP BY THE FOLIAGE
AND WOULD BE TRANSLOCATED.
LIKE ROUNDUP IS BUT A LITTLE
MORE AGGRESSIVE ON A BROAD LEAF
PLANT THAN ROUNDUP WOULD BE.
THERE ARE SOME BRUSH KILLERS
THAT WOULD CONTAIN A BROAD LEAF
HERBICIDE.
>> AND THE SAME THING WORKS
PRETTY WELL FOR PAINTING THE --
YOU PUT IT AROUND THE CAMBY YUM
OR THE CUTOFF STEM, AND THAT HAS
SOME EFFECT.
YOU MAY HAVE TO DO IT MORE THAN
ONCE.
>> AND YOU HAVE TO GET IT OUT
THIS YEAR AND THEN BIRDS WILL
VISIT OTHER PEOPLE'S YARDS EVERY
OTHER YEAR.
SO IT'S REALLY -- YOU HAVE TO BE
VIGILANT.
AND WHY YOU'RE AT IT, PULL THE
GARLIC MUSTARD.
THAT IS BAD NEWS.
BEAUTIFUL ROUNDED FOLIAGE.
IT'S REALLY FUN TO KEEP OUT.
YES.
>> INTERESTING.
I HAD A COMMENT ABOUT GARLIC
MUSTARD.
>> DO IT.
>> OKAY.
THE PERSON HAS NOTICED A MARKED
DECLINE IN GARLIC MUSTARD
POPULATION IN HER WOODED ROW FAR
BACK YARD.
AND IF YOU'VE GONE DOWN AND SHE
GOOGLED THE TOPIC AND FOUND THE
ANSWER IN A REPORT BY U OF I
RESEARCHERS THAT GARLIC MUSTARD
POPULATIONS ARE LIKELY TO
DECLINE.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY
INTERESTING SINCE YOU MENTIONED
THE NAME.
>> THAT IS VERY INTERESTING.
>> AND IT IS ONLY JUST FOUND AT
THE EDGE OF MY WOODS IN KANKAKEE
COUNTY.
>> WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHY IT'S
VERY LIKELY TO DECLINE.
>> WHEN WE GET OFF THE AIR,
WE'LL GOOGLE IT AND SEE.
>> OKAY. MAYBE EVERYONE IS
PULLING THEM.
THEY'RE EASY TO PULL.
BUT WHEN THEY'RE IN FLOWER, DO
NOT DROP THEM DOWN BACK INTO THE
WOODS.
BECAUSE THEIR SEED WILL COME
BACK UP.
>> WHILE THEY'RE YOUNG AND
VIGOROUS, THEY MAKE PRETTY
DECENT PESTS.
>> MAYBE THAT'S WHY THEY'RE
LIKELY TO DECLINE.
>> I DON'T THINK THERE'S THAT
MANY PESTS AROUND.
>> OKAY.
[ LAUGHING ]
>> YOU KNOW, I JUST SEE THEM IN
RANDOM PLACES THAT PEOPLE DON'T
-- THEY'RE NOT AWARE OF WHAT
EVEN THEY ARE YET.
SO THEY'RE GOING WHAT IS MUSTARD
AND GET RID OF IT.
LET'S MOVE ALONG.
LET'S GO TO LINDA'S QUESTION ON
LINE THREE ABOUT A TREE.
HI, LINDA.
>> CALLER: HI.
I HAVE A MAGNOLIA THAT'S
BLOOMING THIS SPRING, A PURPLE
ONE, AND IT'S ABOUT FIVE YEARS
OLD.
I WOULD SAY IT'S ABOUT SIX OR
SEVEN FEET TALL.
AND I'VE LET IT GROW LIKE A
SHRUB.
SO IT HAS ONE MAIN LEADER AND
THEN SOME OTHERS.
NOW, I LIVE IN STRASBURG WHICH
IS A LITTLE HOUSE ON THE
PRAIRIE.
>> UH-HUH.
>> AND WE HAVE WIND.
>> WIND.
>> CALLER: WIND, WIND, WIND.
THAT THING HAS GOTTEN KNOCKED TO
THE NORTH.
IS THERE A WAY I CAN GENTLY PULL
THAT UPRIGHT OVER A PERIOD OF
TIME, TWO OR THREE YEARS,
WITHOUT HURTING THE ROOT SYSTEM?
>> I THINK JIM OR TOM OR CHUCK.
EITHER ONE.
>> I HAD ONE THAT WAS A MAGNOLIA
THAT WAS -- THERE WAS A BIGGER
TREE SOUTH OF IT.
AND SO IT TENDED TO -- I HAD
SOME SUCCESS PUTTING IN LIKE A
STEEL POST AND GENTLY PULLING IT
AS FAR AS IT FELT LIKE IT WAS
GOING TO GO.
THE WIRE.
I PUT A SECTION OF OLD GARDEN
HOSE ON THAT.
AND IF YOU DON'T OVERDO IT, YOU
CAN MAYBE GET IT BACK PART WAY
AND THEN THE NEXT YEAR MAYBE
TIGHTEN IT UP A LITTLE MORE.
>> AND HOW WELL THAT WORKS OFTEN
DEPENDS ON HOW HEAVY THE SOIL IS
OR HOW SANDY THE SOIL.
THE LIGHTER IT IS, THE EASIER IT
IS TO PULL IT BACK UP.
THE MORE CLAY THERE IS, THE
HARDER THAT'S GOING TO BE.
>> YES, I WAS DOING IT ON SANDY
SOIL.
>> I WOULD TRY IT.
OR I WOULD REPLACE IT.
>> YES.
BECAUSE OTHERWISE IT'S GOING TO
ALMOST BE MAKING A BMD.
YOU WOULD ALMOST HAVE TO DIG IT
IN PLACE.
BUT A FIVE YEAR TREE.
>> YES.
>> I WOULD GUESS IT STARTED
LEANING WHEN IT WAS FIRST
PLANTED AND DIDN'T HAVE A ROOT
SYSTEM.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE USED TO
RECOMMEND THAT PEOPLE PUT IN
EVERGREENS AS A SMALL WIND
BREAK, WE RECOMMEND FOR THE
FIRST FOUR OR FIVE YEARS UNTIL
THEY'RE WELL ESTABLISHED A WIND
BREAK MADE OUT OF, SAY, BURLAP
OR FENCE LINK THAT WOULD HELP
HOLD DOWN THE PLANT UNTIL IT'S
WELL ROOTED.
>> AND IF YOU'RE LITTLE HOUSE ON
THE PRAIRIE, THAT'S A LOT OF
WIND.
VERY GOOD DESCRIPTION, LINDA, OF
YOUR WIND SITE.
ANYWAY, HOPE SOME OF THOSE IDEAS
HELP YOU.
WE HAVE ANOTHER LINDA ON THE
LINE ON LINE FOUR, AND SHE HAS A
QUESTION OR FOLLOW-UP ABOUT
PEPPERDEW PEPPERS.
>> CALLER: I MISSED A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT WHAT HE WAS SAYING AND
WONDERED ABOUT THE FLAVOR AND
SIZE OF THE PEPPER BECAUSE I
HAVE FOUND A PEPPER THAT LOOKS
SIMILAR TO ONE HE SHOWED IN MY
BURPEE CATALOG.
AND IT'S CALLED CHERRY SETTLER.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S QUITE THE
SAME ONE OR NOT, BUT THEY SAY
THEY HAVE TONED DOWN THE HEAT OF
THE CHERRY BOMB.
AND THESE ARE TWO INCHES.
THEY'RE SWEET.
THEY PRODUCE BUSHELS OF PEPPERS
ON A PLANT.
AND THEY'RE VERY EASY TO STUFF
OR GRILL.
>> THAT SOUNDS PRETTY SIMILAR.
THE PEOPLE WHO TRADEMARKED
PEPPERDEW WOULD ARGUE THAT IT'S
TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
BUT I'M NOT SURE THAT IT IS.
THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT IT SEEMS
TO BE IS A THICK-WALLED CHERRY
PEPPER THAT IS NOT BLAZINGLY HOT
AND HAS SOME SWEETNESS AS WELL,
WHICH SOUNDS LIKE WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT.
SO THAT -- FOR SOMEBODY WHO
DOESN'T WANT TO INFRINGE ON THAT
IT'S NOT A TRADEMARK, THEY
SHOULD PROBABLY TRY THE CHERRY
AND SEE HOW THAT DOES FOR THEM.
>> IT WOULD BE WORTH IT.
I MEAN, IT'S AVAILABLE.
>> YES.
AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO --
THERE'S NO LEGAL PROBLEM.
>> EXACTLY.
YOU CAN SAY, HEY, I GOT IT RIGHT
FROM HERE.
ALL RIGHT.
WE HAVE A POINSETTIA QUESTION ON
LINE SIX WITH KAY.
HI THERE, KAY.
>> CALLER: HI.
I RECEIVED, AS A GIFT, TWO YEARS
AGO A POINSETTIA.
IT CAME FROM THE GROCERY STORE.
WELL, IT HAS SET IN THE SAME
PLACE.
AND, YES, IT DID DROP SOME
LEAVES SO I WENT AHEAD AND
REMOVED THEM.
BUT RIGHT NOW I'M GETTING THE
RED LEAVES ON THERE THAT I
THOUGHT WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO
HAPPEN AT CHRISTMAS TIME.
>> OKAY.
I GUESS IT'S WHAT WILL I DO.
SO LET'S FOLLOW UP ON HER
QUESTION, WHOEVER WOULD LIKE TO.
>> WELL, IT ONLY HAPPENS AT
CHRISTMAS TIME IF YOU START
SHADING THEM IN LATE SUMMERTIME.
AND NATURALLY THE DAY LENGTH
GETS TO THE RIGHT LENGTH.
>> ANYWAY.
>> AT SOME POINT.
BUT NOT CHRISTMAS TIME.
SO I DON'T KNOW IT'S VALENTINE'S
DAY OR ST. PATRICK'S DAY.
>> OR APRIL FOOL'S DAY.
>> OR APRIL FOOL'S DAY.
BUT BY THE TIME THAT NATURAL
PROCESS TAKES ON AND AS THE DAYS
ARE LENGTHENING NOW, I WOULD
EXPECT THEY'RE GOING TO GO BACK
TO GREEN PRETTY SOON.
>> SO YOU JUST FOUND A NATURAL
TIME THAT IT WAS GOING TO
PRODUCE THOSE RED BRAKS.
NOT JUST AT CHRISTMAS TIME.
SEE, I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO THE
MAG QUIZ SEGMENT NEXT.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO TO THE MAG
QUIZ SEGMENT.
[ LAUGHING ]
>> BUT WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT
IS WHERE NOT TO PLANT YOUR
GARDEN.
AND SO I WOULD SAY WHERE NOT TO
PLANT IT.
GIVE ME SOME IDEAS.
NOT IN --
>> THE SWAMP.
>> NOT IN THE SWAMP.
VEGETABLE GARDEN, I THINK.
NOT IN --
>> THE SHADE.
>> -- THE SHADE.
AND MAYBE NOT IN CLAY.
[ LAUGHING ].
>> POOR JIM.
I'M LOOKING AT HIM.
>> THE ROOT NOT IN CLAY.
>> ON THE TOP OF AN OLD SAND DO
YOU KNOW -- SAND DUNE ISN'T A
GREAT PLACE EITHER.
>> WHEN WE BUILT OUR HOUSE, THE
CLAY GOT PUT IN FRONT.
I JUST KEPT MULCHING AND ADDING
ORGANIC MATTER.
IT ONLY TOOK A COUPLE DECADES --
I MEAN A DECADE OR SO.
>> I WILL MENTION ONE THING.
STAY AWAY FROM THE WALL TREE.
THAT MEANS NOT UNDER THE TREE.
TAKE THE HEIGHT OF THE TREE AND
DOUBLE IT AND STAY THAT FAR OUT.
BECAUSE THE ROOTS GIVE OFF A
TOXIC SUBSTANCE THAT IS REALLY
BAD ON TOMATOES.
>> SO THE HEIGHT OF THE TREE OUT
AND DOUBLE IT.
>> RIGHT.
IN YOUR NEIGHBOR'S YARD.
[ LAUGHING ]
>> THAT'S WHAT WAS ON IT NOT TO
PLANT IT UNDER TREES.
WE HAVE MANY TREES THAT WE'RE
NOT TO PLANT, UNLESS YOU'RE
GOING TO PLANT SOME SHADE LOVING
THINGS.
AND LETTUCE WILL TAKE A LITTLE
BIT OF SHADE.
A LITTLE BIT.
BUT THEY DO LIKE SUN.
WELL, BOY, THIS TIME REALLY GOES
FAST, DOESN'T IT?
IT SEEMS LIKE WE HAD SOME REALLY
GREAT QUESTIONS.
WE'RE HAPPY THAT YOU TUNE IN AND
THAT YOU ARE SO FAITHFUL.
YOU CAN GO TO THE WEBSITE AND
FACEBOOK AND YOU CAN ADD SOME
MORE QUESTIONS.
BUT WE HAVE TROUBLE KEEPING UP.
WE HAD QUITE A FEW.
SO YOU CAN ALSO LOOK ON THE
WEBSITE AND SEE ABOUT THAT.
WELL, I WANT TO THANK EACH ONE
OF YOU FOR BEING HERE.
WE HAVE LOTS OF EXPERTISE.
AND IT'S REALLY NICE TO SEE
WEEDS, INSECTS, DISEASES AND
LOTS OF FUN THINGS ABOUT
PEPPERDEW PEPPERS.
AND THEY LOOK A LITTLE SMALLER
THAN THE ONES HERE ON THE TABLE,
DON'T THEY?
>> A LOT.
>> BUT WE HAVE SOME RED.
SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
WATCHING.
WE HOPE THAT YOU GET OUT THERE
AND HAVE A GREAT TIME GARDENING.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
