Hello and welcome to
Making it Grow.

00:58.391 --> 01:01.127 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
We're so glad that you
can join us tonight.

01:01.227 --> 01:04.697 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
I'm Amanda McNulty with Clemson
Extension. And we are

01:04.798 --> 01:06.933 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
happy that we're still
able to visit with

01:07.033 --> 01:10.804 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
you on Tuesday nights. Things
are different, but it's

01:10.904 --> 01:13.106 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
wonderful to know that
y'all are out there.

01:13.206 --> 01:15.508 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
Thank you for reaching out to us
and letting us

01:15.608 --> 01:18.011 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
know you're still enjoying the
show. I'm joined

01:18.111 --> 01:21.114 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
tonight by Terasa Lott. Terasa
how are you this evening?

01:21.214 --> 01:23.917 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
I'm doing well. Thank you.
And Terasa, we're going

01:24.017 --> 01:25.985 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
to do something a little
different tonight.

01:26.086 --> 01:28.421 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
Instead of your wonderful garden
of the week pictures.

01:28.521 --> 01:31.157 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
We're gonna get right into a new
format for tonight.

01:31.257 --> 01:32.892 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
This is something
we thought might

01:32.992 --> 01:36.496 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
be fun for tonight's show. And
we're going to visit with

01:36.596 --> 01:38.665 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
different extension
agents and specialists

01:38.765 --> 01:42.001 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
and people. And
they're gonna talk about

01:42.102 --> 01:43.369 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
something and show
pictures of

01:43.470 --> 01:46.873 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
something they're interested.
And then we'll move on to

01:46.973 --> 01:49.476 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
somebody else. Terasa, I
understand that

01:49.576 --> 01:53.179 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
the first person in line
tonight is you.

01:53.279 --> 01:56.015 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
That seems appropriate
for all that you do for us.

01:56.116 --> 01:58.351 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
What's going on
that you want to share

01:58.451 --> 02:02.155 align:left position:25%,start line:0% size:75%
with us tonight?
Well, I feel a little bit

02:02.255 --> 02:05.191 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
bad that I'm showing some
problems. Because, that's

02:05.291 --> 02:08.094 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
not a great replacement
or alternative for our

02:08.194 --> 02:12.465 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
normal happy pictures or
gardens of the week. But

02:12.565 --> 02:14.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
it's also good for our
viewers to

02:14.501 --> 02:16.402 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
know that just because we have a

02:16.503 --> 02:19.072 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
television show doesn't mean we
are immune from having problems.

02:19.172 --> 02:22.242 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
And when it comes to gardening,
there are a lot of

02:22.342 --> 02:26.212 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
challenges. Every year, I'm
faced with squash vine

02:26.312 --> 02:29.849 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
borers it seems. But this
year I have two fungal

02:29.949 --> 02:32.719 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
diseases that are
affecting my squash and

02:32.819 --> 02:35.889 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
zucchini. And they are
both mildews, powdery

02:35.989 --> 02:40.260 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
mildew and downy mildew.
Well Terasa, try to tell us

02:40.360 --> 02:42.595 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
a little bit about the
difference in these two

02:42.695 --> 02:45.565 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
and the symptoms that you
see with each one and the

02:45.665 --> 02:48.801 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
conditions, a little
bit different conditions

02:48.902 --> 02:52.172 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
that caused them sometimes.
Sure, I'll be happy to

02:52.272 --> 02:54.941 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
give you sort of an
overview of what I know,

02:55.041 --> 02:58.111 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
keeping in mind I am
certainly not a plant

02:58.211 --> 03:01.481 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
disease expert. But the
powdery mildew, we'll start

03:01.581 --> 03:04.083 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
with that one. It looks
just like the name

03:04.184 --> 03:07.687 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
implies. So you'll see
white powdery growth on

03:07.787 --> 03:11.024 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
the leaves, on the stems
and the pedals, that

03:11.124 --> 03:14.327 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
little stuff where the
leaf attached to the stem.

03:14.427 --> 03:16.496 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
It does it almost looks
like somebody sprinkle

03:16.596 --> 03:20.767 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
powder sugar on there.
And from what I

03:20.867 --> 03:24.504 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
understand it will affect
all cucurbits and

03:24.604 --> 03:27.774 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
unfortunately we don't
have a recommendation for

03:27.874 --> 03:31.077 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
a variety that is
resistant in terms of

03:31.177 --> 03:34.914 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
squash. So, we
do have that great HGIC

03:35.014 --> 03:37.717 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
fact sheet on cucurbit diseases.

03:37.817 --> 03:39.786 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5%
And it
will list the varieties

03:39.886 --> 03:42.121 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
recommended in South
Carolina and the ones

03:42.222 --> 03:44.490 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
that are resistant. So, if
you're looking for

03:44.591 --> 03:47.360 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
cantaloupe and cucumber,
you can find resistance

03:47.460 --> 03:51.364 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
to the powdery mildew, but
not for zucchini and

03:51.464 --> 03:54.767 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
squash. The downy mildew
looks very different.

03:54.867 --> 03:56.669 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
So, they're easy to
distinguish from one

03:56.769 --> 04:00.306 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
another. The downy mildew
is it yellow angular

04:00.406 --> 04:04.043 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
spots on the leaves. So,
sort of oddly shaped

04:04.143 --> 04:07.247 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
constrained by the veins
on the leaf, and it

04:07.347 --> 04:10.016 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
doesn't look hairy or
powdery to the

04:10.116 --> 04:12.785 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
naked eye. What I
understand is, if you look

04:12.885 --> 04:15.221 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
on the underside of the
leaf and you have

04:15.321 --> 04:18.891 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
the help of a hand lens, you
might be able to see the

04:18.992 --> 04:23.663 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
the sporangia, the spores and
that would be that downy look.

04:23.763 --> 04:26.899 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
Terasa, I believe
that Tony's told me that

04:27.000 --> 04:31.704 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
the downy mildew, does
that over one is just in

04:31.804 --> 04:35.708 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Florida and actually
moves up the

04:35.808 --> 04:39.279 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
state's, moves up the
coast and they have an

04:39.379 --> 04:42.215 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
alert system when it gets
different counties.

04:42.315 --> 04:44.183 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
And I don't believe this
homeowners there's

04:44.284 --> 04:47.220 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
anything we can do once
we get that.

04:47.320 --> 04:49.455 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Tell me what you know
about it please, ma'am.

04:49.555 --> 04:53.192 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Sure, well you know Tony
knows his stuff and he is right.

04:53.293 --> 04:55.995 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
The spores do
blow up from Florida.

04:56.095 --> 04:59.065 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
They can't over winter here
yet that I know of. But

04:59.165 --> 05:01.434 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
as temperatures do increase,
I would imagine the

05:01.534 --> 05:03.803 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
chance of that moving
further north and being

05:03.903 --> 05:07.940 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
able to stay viable
would increase.

05:08.041 --> 05:10.276 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Unfortunately, right
there's not a lot that we

05:10.376 --> 05:12.645 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
as homeowners can do. The
advice generally for

05:12.745 --> 05:15.281 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
downy mildew is to plant
early and hope for the

05:15.381 --> 05:17.850 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
best, hope you get a
good crop before the

05:17.950 --> 05:20.486 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
plants kind of succumb
to the disease.

05:20.586 --> 05:24.057 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
There are some fungicides
that we do recommend on

05:24.157 --> 05:29.162 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
our fact sheet for both
downy and powdery mildew.

05:29.262 --> 05:31.731 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Chlorothalonil, that
goes by the trade name

05:31.831 --> 05:35.268 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Daconil is one that I
understand.

05:35.368 --> 05:38.171 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
Sulfur sprays can
sometimes be used I

05:38.271 --> 05:40.907 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
believe for powdery
mildew. But there are

05:41.007 --> 05:43.743 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
restrictions in terms of
temperature, not above

05:43.843 --> 05:47.947 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
85 degrees.
And then for powdery

05:48.047 --> 05:51.651 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
mildew as well you can
use a horticultural oil

05:51.751 --> 05:54.821 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
and baking soda mixture.
So you mix three

05:54.921 --> 05:57.523 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
tablespoons of each and a
gallon of water. And you

05:57.623 --> 06:00.860 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
would apply that. But, again
restrictions not within

06:00.960 --> 06:03.896 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
two weeks of a sulfur
spray and not if it's

06:03.996 --> 06:06.599 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
over 90 degrees are
your plants are drought

06:06.699 --> 06:11.504 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
stressed. And it's really
more of a try to salvage

06:11.604 --> 06:14.440 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
what so, we stayed
pretty much you wouldn't

06:14.540 --> 06:18.578 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
spray unless control was
warranted and then it's

06:18.678 --> 06:21.647 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
really sort of a last
ditch effort.

06:21.748 --> 06:25.385 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Well, I hope that you got
a lot of squash and that

06:25.485 --> 06:28.621 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
you and Eddie enjoyed many
evenings of squash dinners.

06:28.721 --> 06:31.591 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
Because it sounds
like another vegetable is

06:31.691 --> 06:34.260 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
going to have to take the
place of that now.

06:34.360 --> 06:37.230 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
We've had a pretty good crop
and I even tried making

06:37.330 --> 06:39.599 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
brownies with summer
squash in them.

06:39.699 --> 06:41.634 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
And you might be surprised to
find out

06:41.734 --> 06:43.436 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
they're absolutely delicious,
tastes just like a

06:43.536 --> 06:46.005 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
brownie and the squash
just helps to add extra

06:46.105 --> 06:48.908 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5%
moisture.
Terasa, that was a lot

06:49.008 --> 06:53.179 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
of fun. And, as always, it's
grand to talk to you.

06:53.279 --> 06:55.948 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
My pleasure. I hope next time,
it'll be something a

06:56.048 --> 06:57.283 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5%
little more cheerful.

06:58.751 --> 07:00.019 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
I'm heading over to Abbeville

07:00.119 --> 07:02.955 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
to talk with Adam Gore.
and Adam is a

07:03.055 --> 07:05.558 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
horticulture agent in that
county. And getting

07:05.658 --> 07:09.896 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
his PhD in turf. And Adam,
you've got an

07:09.996 --> 07:12.365 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
interesting grass. I
thought St Augustine had

07:12.465 --> 07:15.034 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
to be really in the lower
part of the state,

07:15.134 --> 07:17.036 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
but you said you've got a nice

07:17.136 --> 07:20.273 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
stand in a part of your yard. So
tell me what you

07:20.373 --> 07:23.276 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
like about it and what's good.
And what are the

07:23.376 --> 07:27.380 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
downfalls of St Augustine,
please? Thank you, Amanda, so,

07:27.480 --> 07:29.682 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
like you said, a lot of people
think

07:29.782 --> 07:33.052 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
Saint Augustine grass is for the
Low-country. It's sometimes

07:33.152 --> 07:37.023 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
called Charleston grass.
But I bought my house

07:37.123 --> 07:40.393 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
here in Greenwood, because
of this grass.

07:40.493 --> 07:43.863 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
I was able to sit in the
yard for a moment and it

07:43.963 --> 07:47.300 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
just said to me
that this was home to me.

07:47.400 --> 07:50.636 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
But you know as charming
as Saint Augustine grass

07:50.736 --> 07:55.074 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
is, it does have some of
its downfalls.

07:55.174 --> 07:58.277 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
If you are worried about
the grassy weeds in it

07:58.377 --> 08:02.582 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
like crab grass or some
panics or what not,

08:02.682 --> 08:04.650 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
you really have to stay
on top

08:04.750 --> 08:08.354 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
of your pre-emergent herbicide
use. And that's for both your

08:08.454 --> 08:11.891 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
grassy weeds and your broad
leaves, because

08:11.991 --> 08:14.193 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
St. Augustine grass
is like

08:14.293 --> 08:18.431 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
picky children, it doesn't
want you put a lot on it.

08:18.531 --> 08:20.633 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
You just give it what
it wants,

08:20.733 --> 08:23.069 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
which is a little bit fertilizer
each year and

08:23.169 --> 08:24.904 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
you cut it a little bit taller

08:25.004 --> 08:26.072 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5%
somewhere about two and

08:26.172 --> 08:28.441 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
a half to three inches. But if
you start

08:28.541 --> 08:31.043 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
to spray it with all these
chemicals in it, you're

08:31.143 --> 08:34.480 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
gonna end up with a lot of bare
spots. So you really

08:34.580 --> 08:38.651 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
have to be very particular with
it. But in areas where you

08:38.751 --> 08:42.421 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
get a lot shade, it does
fantastic. It's the most

08:42.522 --> 08:45.191 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
shade tolerant grass
there is for warm season

08:45.291 --> 08:48.194 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
grasses, which is where it is
in my yard. It's underneath

08:48.294 --> 08:50.663 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
a lot of, unfortunately they're
sweet gum trees,

08:50.763 --> 08:55.334 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
but, it does well in the shade.

08:55.434 --> 08:58.838 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
It doesn't like cold.
So, the extent of

08:58.938 --> 09:02.375 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
where you can have it but
it's a lovely grass.

09:02.475 --> 09:05.912 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
It's nice and wide, the leaves
are, so it

09:06.012 --> 09:08.781 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
makes it a little bit softer
to walk on.

09:08.881 --> 09:12.852 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
And because you cut so
tall, it's almost like a carpet.

09:12.952 --> 09:14.887 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5%
Well it does sound like

09:14.987 --> 09:18.057 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
that if you always very
careful about getting

09:18.157 --> 09:20.259 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
those pre emergents out
because it's so sensitive

09:20.359 --> 09:24.030 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
to post emergents, and
you don't over fertilize it.

09:24.130 --> 09:26.532 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
And then you said to
control chinch bugs

09:26.632 --> 09:30.236 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
there's a certain set of
cultural requirements,

09:30.336 --> 09:33.072 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
you should also follow.
Yes ma'am chinch bugs

09:33.172 --> 09:36.309 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
are a number one insect
that we see on St. Augustine,

09:36.409 --> 09:39.078 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
but because they like
to reside in

09:39.178 --> 09:43.082 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
the thatch, if you can reduce
that thatch, which is by

09:43.182 --> 09:45.718 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
not over fertilizing by
giving it the minimum

09:45.818 --> 09:49.689 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
what it needs. And you can
airify it. So you go out

09:49.789 --> 09:52.858 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
and remove some of that
thatch layer, you can reduce

09:52.959 --> 09:57.129 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
the habitat that we see
that's available for

09:57.229 --> 09:59.465 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
chinch bugs, so you don't
see the presence

09:59.565 --> 10:02.101 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
of them as much.
Thanks a lot for sharing that

10:02.201 --> 10:04.303 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
information with us. We
appreciate it. Yes, ma'am,

10:04.403 --> 10:05.538 align:left position:25%,start line:93.33% size:75%
Thank you.

10:05.638 --> 10:07.573 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Next, we're gonna talk
with one of our

10:07.673 --> 10:09.775 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
favorite people and she's down
in the Low-country.

10:09.875 --> 10:12.044 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
Amy Dabbs,
good to see you.

10:12.144 --> 10:15.715 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
What's something that
had you excited recently?

10:15.815 --> 10:18.084 align:left position:25%,start line:0% size:75%
Hi, Amanda.
I have had so many

10:18.184 --> 10:23.322 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
compliments about the
beautiful Stokes Aster.

10:23.422 --> 10:27.326 align:left position:25%,start line:0% size:75%
This is a variety
or cultivar I should say

10:27.426 --> 10:33.032 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
called Peachie's Pick.
Peachie's - how did that -

10:33.132 --> 10:36.369 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
how does the name come
from - Well, from what I

10:36.469 --> 10:39.805 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
understand this cultivar is
named after a woman from

10:39.905 --> 10:42.675 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
Mississippi who found
this beautiful

10:42.775 --> 10:47.546 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
southeastern native plant
named, Peachie's Saxton,

10:47.647 --> 10:51.317 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
so whoever, you know, did
up the selection on this

10:51.417 --> 10:54.854 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
particular cultivar, named it
after her in her honor.

10:54.954 --> 10:56.689 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
It's called Peachie's Pick,
which might

10:56.789 --> 10:59.258 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
make people think, it's a
peach colored flower, but

10:59.358 --> 11:03.396 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
it's still the same
beautiful purple as the

11:03.496 --> 11:07.500 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
you know traditional
native Stokes Aster.

11:07.600 --> 11:10.169 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
It has a few
little improvements that

11:10.269 --> 11:12.638 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
make it, I think a little
bit more attractive

11:12.738 --> 11:18.010 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
in the landscape.
Like really upright

11:18.110 --> 11:22.348 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
multi branching,
long flowering stems,

11:22.448 --> 11:24.550 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5%
so it has
lots of flowers at one

11:24.650 --> 11:28.020 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
time, very upright, and the
stem is very stiff.

11:28.120 --> 11:30.990 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
It doesn't flop over,
which makes it really nice for

11:31.090 --> 11:34.026 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
the landscape. So, really it
makes a better presentation

11:34.126 --> 11:37.329 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
in the garden. Yes and I have

11:37.430 --> 11:42.435 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
it sort of woven in a
little narrow perennial bed

11:42.535 --> 11:46.605 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
with you know a variety
of other perennials and

11:46.706 --> 11:49.742 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
changes and things like
that. And it's just been

11:49.842 --> 11:52.578 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
such a show stopper this
summer that I wanted to

11:52.678 --> 11:55.581 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
you know show folks how
pretty a native plant can

11:55.681 --> 11:57.316 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
be in the landscape
for people

11:57.416 --> 12:00.886 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
who are on the fence about
native plants are weedy or

12:00.986 --> 12:04.256 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
native plants get floppy. You
know, there are some

12:04.356 --> 12:07.059 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
horticultural selections
and that I still have all

12:07.159 --> 12:09.895 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
the same attractive
qualities as their

12:09.995 --> 12:13.532 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
original species that can
be incorporated it. And no

12:13.632 --> 12:15.701 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
one will ever know the
difference, they'll think

12:15.801 --> 12:18.270 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
you've got some sort of
tropical, strange plant in

12:18.370 --> 12:20.773 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
your garden but really it's
just a good

12:20.873 --> 12:25.511 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
old-fashioned southeastern
native plant. Does this one do

12:25.611 --> 12:28.481 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
what we often want and select
natives for it? Does it

12:28.581 --> 12:31.650 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
attract pollinators? It sure
does? I've seen a lot of

12:31.751 --> 12:34.053 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
different butterflies and
bees visiting it.

12:34.153 --> 12:36.188 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
I'm still trying to
convince all the

12:36.288 --> 12:38.691 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
pollinators to come in my
yard in my new

12:38.791 --> 12:41.694 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
landscape. But we have
seen quite a few

12:41.794 --> 12:44.029 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
butterflies in malls
around the area, lots of

12:44.130 --> 12:46.398 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
little bees. Of course the
hummingbirds are not

12:46.499 --> 12:50.236 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
visiting it, but they're
visiting nearby flowers. So I

12:50.336 --> 12:52.872 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
think it's a contender for
my favorite native to

12:52.972 --> 12:54.774 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
incorporate in the
landscape, at least for

12:54.874 --> 12:57.443 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
this summer. And it sounds
like it's got a pretty

12:57.543 --> 13:00.713 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
extended bloom period as
well, Amy. I think it's a

13:00.813 --> 13:03.349 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
bit longer than the
natives, you know straight

13:03.449 --> 13:07.219 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
native species. This
one seems to live a lot

13:07.319 --> 13:11.757 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
longer and even the buds
are really attractive.

13:11.857 --> 13:13.926 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Even as they're budding
up, they have a real

13:14.026 --> 13:16.662 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
pretty white look to him
and then as they unfold

13:16.762 --> 13:19.565 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
they're very fluffy. And they
open up into the

13:19.665 --> 13:22.168 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
traditional kind of
cornflower blue Stokes

13:22.268 --> 13:24.904 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Aster flower color that
you're looking for. So, I'm

13:25.004 --> 13:27.406 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
really impressed with
this plant and I think our

13:27.506 --> 13:29.742 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
our viewers will be too.
Because that's the color

13:29.842 --> 13:32.711 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
that is a little bit hard
to come by and could

13:32.812 --> 13:35.681 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
really add so much pizzazz.
Don't you think?

13:35.781 --> 13:38.017 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
It really can. Especially,
it really pops off

13:38.117 --> 13:40.820 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
the lime green colors and
the whites you know, that

13:40.920 --> 13:42.955 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Charlestonians love to
use in their gardens.

13:43.055 --> 13:45.424 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
These deep greens and
whites and then just to

13:45.524 --> 13:47.726 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
have that little pop of
blue is really

13:47.827 --> 13:50.596 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
unexpected and the fact
is native in the colony

13:50.696 --> 13:53.299 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
there's a visiting it is
an extra bonus. Well, Amy

13:53.399 --> 13:55.401 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
this was a wonderful
thing to learn about.

13:55.501 --> 13:57.670 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Thank you so much for
sharing this information.

13:57.770 --> 14:00.673 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
Thank you Amanda.
We're going to Easley,

14:00.773 --> 14:03.709 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
South Carolina and visit
with Cory Tanner. Cory is

14:03.809 --> 14:05.911 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
the head of
the hort team.

14:06.011 --> 14:08.414 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
And he's a good choice for
that, because he really

14:08.514 --> 14:10.816 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
knows a lot about
horticulture. And you got a

14:10.916 --> 14:13.452 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
good bit going on at your
yard, Cory. One thing

14:13.552 --> 14:16.088 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
sounds kind of fun, but I
think it involves some

14:16.188 --> 14:18.858 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
engineering and nails and
hammering. Tell us what

14:18.958 --> 14:21.627 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
what the story was and
what you're trying to

14:21.727 --> 14:24.296 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
accomplish.
Yeah, we have six

14:24.396 --> 14:26.765 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
blueberry bushes in our
yard. We love blueberries,

14:26.866 --> 14:29.201 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
Amanda. And that's a fruit
that I always recommend

14:29.301 --> 14:31.537 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
homeowners to start with
cause it's an easy fruit

14:31.637 --> 14:33.439 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
to grow in the home
landscape, particularly

14:33.539 --> 14:36.442 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
slight varieties of the
rabbit eye type of the

14:36.542 --> 14:39.545 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
blueberry that are well
adapted to South Carolina.

14:39.645 --> 14:42.481 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
But the bad thing is that
they're a favorite fruit of

14:42.581 --> 14:45.851 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
birds, as well. And I
love birds. And we feed birds

14:45.951 --> 14:48.787 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
and we have lots of birds
in our backyard, which is

14:48.888 --> 14:51.857 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
wonderful. If I don't do
something, we will not get

14:51.957 --> 14:54.326 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
very many blueberries
because of all the birds,

14:54.426 --> 14:57.396 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
particularly the robins
seem to really enjoy

14:57.496 --> 14:59.798 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
the blueberries and
the cardinals, which

14:59.899 --> 15:01.433 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
I like to have
around but

15:01.533 --> 15:06.372 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
I don't want to ruin the
blueberries. So we use bird

15:06.472 --> 15:09.141 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
netting. But the challenge is,
if you just drape bird

15:09.241 --> 15:13.712 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
netting over your
bushes, it's an

15:13.812 --> 15:16.515 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
incredible hassle to get
in there and harvest

15:16.615 --> 15:19.051 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
you're ripe berries. And
when you try to pull

15:19.151 --> 15:22.054 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
the netting off of the plant,
it often removes a lot

15:22.154 --> 15:24.323 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
of your berries too. So,
this year to

15:24.423 --> 15:27.793 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
get around that, I built a frame
to go over my planting.

15:27.893 --> 15:31.363 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
As I mentioned I have six
bushes, they're all in a row.

15:31.463 --> 15:33.532 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
They're about six foot
tall really a little

15:33.632 --> 15:35.367 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
too tall I need to do some

15:35.467 --> 15:38.504 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
pruning to get them a little
shorter. I bought a

15:38.604 --> 15:42.775 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
25 by 50 foot
section of bird netting.

15:42.875 --> 15:47.279 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
I was able
to use PVC conduit

15:47.379 --> 15:50.482 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
that you can get
at a home supply store,

15:50.582 --> 15:54.420 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
with elbows
and catchings. I was able

15:54.520 --> 15:58.891 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
to build a support around
planting of blueberries.

15:58.991 --> 16:02.528 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
Well, so what I
did was I used a half

16:02.628 --> 16:06.565 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
inch PVC conduit
and I got three quarter

16:06.665 --> 16:09.368 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
inch metal conduit. And
cut it into one foot

16:09.468 --> 16:12.471 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
sections and drove those
inch sections

16:12.571 --> 16:16.809 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
into the ground. It's along the

16:16.909 --> 16:20.179 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
planting and then I could
put the plastic,

16:20.279 --> 16:22.915 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
the PVC pipe down in that
three quarter inch

16:23.015 --> 16:26.452 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
conduit and it would hold
it up right.

16:26.552 --> 16:29.455 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
Then I could assemble the rest
of my frame. So basically

16:29.555 --> 16:31.924 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
I did big hoops, people
think about like a

16:32.024 --> 16:36.929 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
croquet hoop. A big
hoop but then I put a tea

16:37.029 --> 16:39.331 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
and crosses in the middle
so that I could

16:39.431 --> 16:42.634 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
put one piece all the way across
the top to support it

16:42.735 --> 16:45.604 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
across the top. And I
wasn't entirely sure if

16:45.704 --> 16:48.107 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
it would hold up through
wind and all that,

16:48.207 --> 16:51.143 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
but it's done quite well. So,
once I have a record that,

16:51.243 --> 16:54.380 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
I use no glue. All I
did was cut to pieces the

16:54.480 --> 16:57.649 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
size and then start come
together. You know what

16:57.750 --> 17:01.620 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
PVC kind of sticks together.
I use no glue that way

17:01.720 --> 17:03.722 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
after the season
I can take this

17:03.822 --> 17:06.892 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
whole structure down and store
it and then put it in

17:06.992 --> 17:09.995 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
full and then what you do
on the bottom. Does it

17:10.095 --> 17:13.065 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
come all the way to the
ground and how did you

17:13.165 --> 17:16.802 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
secure that or did you?
I did secure it.

17:16.902 --> 17:19.505 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
I'll say the most difficult
part of the whole process

17:19.605 --> 17:22.307 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
is actually pulling the netting
across the

17:22.408 --> 17:25.411 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
planting because it
tends to get caught up in

17:25.511 --> 17:28.647 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
stuff. My wife and
I managed to do it we got

17:28.747 --> 17:31.316 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
it across the error on
and it provides full

17:31.417 --> 17:34.053 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
coverage. And then on the
bottom it does need to

17:34.153 --> 17:36.755 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
drape all the way to the
ground that way noting

17:36.855 --> 17:39.425 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
can get underneath it.
And then I just we just

17:39.525 --> 17:41.427 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
let it drape all the way
to

17:41.527 --> 17:44.129 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
the ground and then secure it
with sod staples, little

17:44.229 --> 17:46.498 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
metal staples that you can get
again at home

17:46.598 --> 17:50.736 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
supply stores or order online.
You know every two to

17:50.836 --> 17:55.007 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
three feet along the
edges we stapled it down.

17:55.107 --> 17:57.142 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Just press those into
the soil so that

17:57.242 --> 18:00.679 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
nothing can get underneath
there. And that we just left one

18:00.779 --> 18:03.749 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
area with enough slack in
the net, that we can

18:03.849 --> 18:07.352 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
actually go under it.
Because the plants are

18:07.453 --> 18:10.222 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
tall and the frame is
tall, we can actually get

18:10.322 --> 18:12.658 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
under the to harvest. We
can actually get under

18:12.758 --> 18:15.661 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
the net and work and pick
underneath that netting.

18:15.761 --> 18:18.163 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
It's worked quite well. We
had a really good

18:18.263 --> 18:20.933 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
crop of blueberries. We've
already made one batch of

18:21.033 --> 18:26.538 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
blueberry jam. Little Emma
helped with that and also

18:26.638 --> 18:28.640 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
some blueberry muffins
that she made pretty

18:28.740 --> 18:32.778 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
much ourselves. Bless her heart.
Yes. We even

18:32.878 --> 18:35.881 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
put a few in the freezer.
So it really pays dividends

18:35.981 --> 18:38.117 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
to do this so
that we can get

18:38.217 --> 18:41.220 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
our berries and not lose
them all to the birds.

18:41.320 --> 18:43.956 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
Thanks so much and enjoy the
rest of the summer.

18:44.056 --> 18:46.358 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
Thanks my pleasure, Amanda.
Thank you too.

18:46.458 --> 18:48.460 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
We gonna run down to
Beaufort and

18:48.560 --> 18:50.729 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
I'm going to speak with my
friend Laura

18:50.829 --> 18:54.333 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
Lee Rose and Laura Lee Rose. I
think you are planning for

18:54.433 --> 18:56.735 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
something the harvest in the
Fall. Tell me what

18:56.835 --> 19:00.139 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
you've been up to well I played
in the bed of sweet

19:00.239 --> 19:04.943 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
potatoes this week. On Monday I
got some Bradshaw sweet

19:05.043 --> 19:08.847 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
potatoes named for one of
my favorite professors at

19:08.947 --> 19:13.085 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
Clemson, horticulture
professor, David Bradshaw.

19:13.185 --> 19:19.424 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
And he gave Cory Tanner
a sweet potato or some

19:19.525 --> 19:21.693 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
sweet potatoes anyway
back in the day when

19:21.793 --> 19:26.398 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
it was called Mahon.
He developed this

19:26.498 --> 19:32.137 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
sweet potatoes and Cory
has been saving it ever since.

19:32.237 --> 19:35.207 align:left position:25%,start line:0% size:75%
And so I got some
of the slips. Well, David

19:35.307 --> 19:37.910 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Bradshaw is one of my
absolute favorite

19:38.010 --> 19:41.313 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
professors too. And he
loves heritage plants and

19:41.413 --> 19:44.249 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
plants with a story.
How long does it take the

19:44.349 --> 19:47.152 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
sweet potatoes. They grow
a long, long time, don't

19:47.252 --> 19:49.988 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
they Laura Lee? Yeah it's a
120 to

19:50.088 --> 19:53.325 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5%
130 days
to maturity. Now, I can

19:53.425 --> 19:56.461 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
probably start with my
fingers I might be able

19:56.562 --> 19:59.498 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
to also little ones up
earlier than that, but

19:59.598 --> 20:03.235 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
generally, sweet potatoes
take a long time and

20:03.335 --> 20:07.539 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
they're not done until
the foliage dies back or

20:07.639 --> 20:11.443 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
you wanna pull em', dig em'
before frost. Okay and

20:11.543 --> 20:14.279 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
then you cure em'
for a couple of days?

20:14.379 --> 20:16.648 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5%
Yeah.
Spread them out on some

20:16.748 --> 20:20.485 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
newspaper in a warm dry
place and just let em cure.

20:20.586 --> 20:24.022 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
Okay, well I'm gonna think
that when we've gotten

20:24.122 --> 20:26.358 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
some, when we get some
Fallish days that

20:26.458 --> 20:30.095 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
you'll be enjoying roasted sweet
potatoes. I hope so,

20:30.195 --> 20:34.533 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
because I sure like em in a
pie, on a grill and

20:34.633 --> 20:37.869 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
just right out of the
oven. Thanks so much Laura Lee.

20:37.970 --> 20:39.671 align:left position:25%,start line:93.33% size:75%
Thank you.

20:39.771 --> 20:41.073 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5%
We're gonna go over to

20:41.173 --> 20:43.108 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
York County where Paul
Thompson is the

20:43.208 --> 20:45.844 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
horticulture agent. Paul, a
lot of people have been

20:45.944 --> 20:49.248 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
having problems with our
own native dogwoods.

20:49.348 --> 20:52.718 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
They just seem to be all sorts
of issues that they have.

20:52.818 --> 20:56.588 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
You've got a tree that
grows near your office

20:56.688 --> 20:59.291 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
that we might be able to
consider, instead. Tell us

20:59.391 --> 21:02.494 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
what that is and what it
what it likes and how

21:02.594 --> 21:07.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
to grow one please. Okay,
the dogwoods, a lot

21:07.766 --> 21:09.735 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5%
them are
suffering from powdery

21:09.835 --> 21:11.937 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5%
mildew,
which is a common

21:12.037 --> 21:15.274 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
summertime disease.
Some worse than

21:15.374 --> 21:18.844 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
others. Several years back
when we first moved to

21:18.944 --> 21:23.315 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
the, what we
call the new York County office.

21:23.415 --> 21:24.816 align:left position:25%,start line:93.33% size:75%
We did a lot of

21:24.916 --> 21:28.020 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
landscaping around that
office and they actually put

21:28.120 --> 21:31.923 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
in a new parking area and
driveway

21:32.024 --> 21:34.926 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
to make it more
accessible.

21:35.027 --> 21:41.767 align:left position:25%,start line:0% size:75%
But I planted a
Evergreen Kousa Dogwood.

21:41.867 --> 21:44.670 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
So this one keeps it's leaves
all year. It doesn't

21:44.770 --> 21:47.506 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
suffer from powdery
mildew at all.

21:47.606 --> 21:51.009 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
It's a rather small
squat tree. So it

21:51.109 --> 21:55.447 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
doesn't get a lot of hype
to it. But it is

21:55.547 --> 22:00.619 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
just absolutely loaded
with blooms.

22:00.719 --> 22:04.089 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
It actually started about
three or four weeks ago.

22:04.189 --> 22:08.560 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
It's still in flower. So it
blooms for a long time.

22:08.660 --> 22:11.596 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
And the flowers are followed

22:11.697 --> 22:15.701 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
by the typical Kousa fruit
like on the regular Kousa

22:15.801 --> 22:20.305 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
Dogwood of
bright red

22:20.405 --> 22:25.644 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
moral size fruits that are on
that tree in the fall and

22:25.744 --> 22:29.114 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
are quite ornamental. So this
story would be great for

22:29.214 --> 22:32.651 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
somebody that wants a
small flowering tree,

22:32.751 --> 22:35.253 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
gonna reach a height of
probably eventually

22:35.354 --> 22:40.759 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
around fifteen feet with
about the same spread.

22:40.859 --> 22:43.862 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
It's just a really
attractive tree with a

22:43.962 --> 22:47.299 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
lot of flower power. And
the master gardener

22:47.399 --> 22:50.602 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
class is always going on
when we do it in the

22:50.702 --> 22:52.804 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
office when it was
in fruit and everybody

22:52.904 --> 22:55.540 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
was always ask me what
that is.

22:55.640 --> 23:01.880 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
It's a good tree and is not
really, really common.

23:01.980 --> 23:05.650 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
I got it from a native
plant nursery up in Mount

23:05.751 --> 23:08.186 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
Pilot, North Carolina when
I was looking for some

23:08.286 --> 23:12.023 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
special thing. Does it want some

23:12.124 --> 23:15.961 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
shade or is it okay in full
sun? It seems to do

23:16.061 --> 23:20.031 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
well in full sun to part shade.

23:20.132 --> 23:22.534 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
It's grown elsewhere like at
the Bartlett tree lab.

23:22.634 --> 23:26.605 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
They have one. The South Pole
Sun that performs well.

23:26.705 --> 23:30.275 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
This one probably gets shade
from

23:30.375 --> 23:33.612 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
I don't know, probably
three o'clock on.

23:33.712 --> 23:36.581 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
I got a large oak tree,
not too far from it,

23:36.681 --> 23:39.885 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
but nothing directly overhead.
It really does sound like

23:39.985 --> 23:42.320 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
a lovely tree, Paul. Thank
you for sharing this

23:42.421 --> 23:45.090 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
information with us. Well,
thanks for having me on.

23:45.190 --> 23:46.024 align:left position:25%,start line:93.33% size:75%
I enjoyed it.

23:46.124 --> 23:48.226 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
We're going to go talk
with our friend,

23:48.326 --> 23:51.229 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Tricia DeHond in Florence
county, where she is the

23:51.329 --> 23:53.565 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
horticulture agent. And
she also takes care of

23:53.665 --> 23:56.868 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Darlington county. And I
think Trish, right now

23:56.968 --> 24:00.405 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
instead of helping a
homeowner with a lawn with

24:00.505 --> 24:04.576 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
a landscape project, you
came up with one

24:04.676 --> 24:07.078 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
yourself, to make a home
that you're renting

24:07.179 --> 24:11.082 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
look a lot nicer without
going through a lot of expense.

24:11.183 --> 24:16.087 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
I've enjoyed staying in
Florence. And my neighbors,

24:16.188 --> 24:18.490 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
I've gotten to know them.
And one of them

24:18.590 --> 24:22.394 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
has re-landscaped their yard.

24:22.494 --> 24:23.562 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5%
I thought well maybe

24:23.662 --> 24:25.564 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
there's a few things that
I could

24:25.664 --> 24:28.266 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
do around my place to make
it a little better.

24:28.366 --> 24:32.370 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
So, I have
unfortunately inherited a

24:32.471 --> 24:37.108 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
very weedy yard,
with just a few shrubs.

24:37.209 --> 24:39.878 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
And I'm going to expand
the landscape area.

24:39.978 --> 24:43.615 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
I'll show you how I did.
it. I spruced up my

24:43.715 --> 24:47.519 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
place with some pine straw. I
think I spent less than

24:47.619 --> 24:52.023 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
twelve dollars for this
whole project.

24:52.123 --> 24:55.494 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
The first thing I did was
cut the grass and weeds

24:55.594 --> 24:58.697 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
very short. Unfortunately,
I have warned about in a

24:58.797 --> 25:02.167 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
lot of other weeds in my
yard and a lot of perennials.

25:02.267 --> 25:05.303 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
So, rather than spraying,
I decided to smother

25:05.403 --> 25:09.374 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5%
them out.
And so I got some

25:09.474 --> 25:13.378 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
cardboard boxes from when
I moved in and

25:13.478 --> 25:17.382 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
some newspaper and a
water hose. And after I

25:17.482 --> 25:20.151 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
cut the grass really
short I took the hose and

25:20.252 --> 25:23.522 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
I laid it down to show me
the border of where I

25:23.622 --> 25:26.157 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
was going to put the pine straw.
I could move

25:26.258 --> 25:29.528 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
around, change the shape of it
and measure it and decide how

25:29.628 --> 25:31.830 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
big of an area I wanted
to cover.

25:31.930 --> 25:35.667 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
And then I wetted down the grass
and laid down the cardboard.

25:35.767 --> 25:39.871 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
I bordered and I
overlapped the edges.

25:39.971 --> 25:45.176 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
And then when I ran out
of cardboard, I used newspaper.

25:45.277 --> 25:47.646 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
And then I put some of the

25:47.746 --> 25:51.483 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
newspaper under the
existing shrubs and I

25:51.583 --> 25:54.819 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
wetted down all the
cardboard and newspaper.

25:54.920 --> 25:58.290 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
And then the pine straw
just looks nice on top.

25:58.390 --> 26:00.559 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
And then I got my
containers and I

26:00.659 --> 26:03.828 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
put them on the top. And we're
going to use those.

26:03.929 --> 26:06.798 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
I'm gonna the plant vegetables
in a couple of those and

26:06.898 --> 26:09.000 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
some other ornamental plants
in one of them.

26:09.100 --> 26:11.436 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
That will be a future
project that we could

26:11.536 --> 26:13.638 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
talk about. We'll look
forward to coming back

26:13.738 --> 26:15.907 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
and seeing some pictures
of that. And thanks

26:16.007 --> 26:18.910 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
for giving us an idea
of what we can do that's

26:19.010 --> 26:21.479 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
simple, that really can make a
difference in the

26:21.580 --> 26:24.182 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
curb appeal of our house.
Thanks Trish. Thank you

26:24.282 --> 26:27.586 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
very much Amanda I
enjoyed it.

26:27.686 --> 26:31.489 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
We're gonna head down to the
coast and talk with

26:31.590 --> 26:34.426 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Zack Snipes who is
stationed at the Coastal

26:34.526 --> 26:37.629 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Research and Education
Center. And you do a lot of

26:37.729 --> 26:40.065 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
work with growers down
there, tomatoes are still

26:40.165 --> 26:44.069 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
important part of their
income. And there's one

26:44.169 --> 26:46.071 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
disease that you said
this year, particularly

26:46.171 --> 26:48.607 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
the weather patterns have
made it worse than usual.

26:48.707 --> 26:51.543 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
But we almost always have
it so. Tell us what it's

26:51.643 --> 26:53.712 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
called and what it looks
like and how

26:53.812 --> 26:57.716 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
it progresses, please. Thanks
Amanda. So, I've been

26:57.816 --> 27:00.318 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
getting a lot of calls
from commercial growers,

27:00.418 --> 27:03.321 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
backyard farmers and
even homeowners that are

27:03.421 --> 27:06.458 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
that are calling.
And it's a disease called

27:06.558 --> 27:10.161 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
bacterial spot. And obviously
it's a bacterial disease.

27:10.261 --> 27:13.064 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
But it's a little
black or brown spot that

27:13.164 --> 27:15.734 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
starts on the bottom of
the plant and then as

27:15.834 --> 27:19.170 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
the season progresses, it
moves its way up the plant.

27:19.270 --> 27:22.107 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Typically, we get calls
about it when plants

27:22.207 --> 27:24.476 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
start to yellow because
that's when people really

27:24.576 --> 27:27.312 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
notice, it if they're not
out there looking and

27:27.412 --> 27:30.181 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
looking for it. So, it
starts off as a couple

27:30.281 --> 27:32.584 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
black spots at the bottom
and then by the

27:32.684 --> 27:35.587 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
time it turns yellow you've got
a really bad infestation of

27:35.687 --> 27:40.191 align:left position:25%,start line:93.33% size:75%
it. Are there

27:40.291 --> 27:43.361 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
environmental conditions
that make it worse for

27:43.461 --> 27:47.232 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
growers. Yes, ma'am. So we
we've got a lot of rain

27:47.332 --> 27:50.201 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
late spring, early summer
here in Charleston

27:50.301 --> 27:53.705 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
It's been really humid.
Those conditions,

27:53.805 --> 27:55.540 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
coupled with the
afternoon thunderstorms

27:55.640 --> 27:58.510 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
really speeds up the
spread of it, because

27:58.610 --> 28:01.746 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
it's a pathogen and it
likes the warm weather

28:01.846 --> 28:05.684 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
and the humidity really gets it
going.

28:05.784 --> 28:08.119 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
A lot of times we
can help ourselves out

28:08.219 --> 28:11.089 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
by getting resistant varieties.
But that's not the case here.

28:11.189 --> 28:13.825 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Correct, yes we have
resistance in peppers,

28:13.925 --> 28:16.261 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
but we do not have it in
tomato.

28:16.361 --> 28:18.730 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
So there's some cultural
things that both

28:18.830 --> 28:20.799 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
farmers and backyard
growers can do.

28:20.899 --> 28:23.968 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
You can spread this the plants
out to give them more

28:24.069 --> 28:27.639 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
air flow. You can prune the
suckers early in the season

28:27.739 --> 28:30.041 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
when the plants are small.
And again you're just

28:30.141 --> 28:31.976 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
trying to get more air
flow through

28:32.077 --> 28:34.279 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
there so the plant dries out,

28:34.379 --> 28:37.182 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
so the disease doesn't spread as
bad. And there's two

28:37.282 --> 28:39.384 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
chemicals that we predominantly
use and homeowners can

28:39.484 --> 28:43.354 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
use as well,
copper and mancozeb.

28:43.455 --> 28:46.324 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
These two products are
protectant products. So you

28:46.424 --> 28:49.260 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
really need to scout, get
out there early and catch it

28:49.360 --> 28:52.397 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
early. And you use these
products preventively

28:52.497 --> 28:55.133 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
before you get the
disease. It's just

28:55.233 --> 28:57.635 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
a physical barrier
between the pathogen, the

28:57.736 --> 28:59.738 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
bacteria and the
plant.

28:59.838 --> 29:03.074 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
It's not going to fix it,
It's not going to cure it.

29:03.174 --> 29:07.112 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
But it'll slow it down. So,
even if you have some if

29:07.212 --> 29:09.981 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
you are consistent
applying these two

29:10.081 --> 29:12.584 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
chemicals,
you alternate them

29:12.684 --> 29:14.786 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
and read the directions
about how frequently you

29:14.886 --> 29:17.422 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
can use them. that
could at least help

29:17.522 --> 29:20.525 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
protect foliage to some
extent from having it get

29:20.625 --> 29:23.294 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
worse. You can't cure it's
not gonna get better but

29:23.394 --> 29:25.797 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
you could at least keep those
leaves as healthy

29:25.897 --> 29:28.466 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
as possible. Correct and
that's all you're trying

29:28.566 --> 29:31.169 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
to do just buy yourself a
little time, buy the

29:31.269 --> 29:33.671 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
plant a little time, so it can
photosynthesize and

29:33.772 --> 29:36.141 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
really put some energy
and sugar into making the

29:36.241 --> 29:38.543 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
tomatoes. So you know you
might give yourself

29:38.643 --> 29:40.812 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
another three weeks or
month. And on some

29:40.912 --> 29:43.114 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
determinant type tomatoes,
that's really all you

29:43.214 --> 29:47.519 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
need to get done.
We really appreciate all

29:47.619 --> 29:49.020 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5%
the things you're doing

29:49.120 --> 29:52.290 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
to try to help these grower stay
in business and help us

29:52.390 --> 29:56.828 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
have those wonderful, my friends
calling M and M

29:56.928 --> 30:01.833 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
sandwiches, maters and
mayonnaise. They're hard to beat

30:01.933 --> 30:04.669 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Aren't they? Oh, yeah!
Thanks for having me

30:04.769 --> 30:08.506 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Amanda. We're heading
over to the beautiful

30:08.606 --> 30:11.509 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
community of Pendelton, South
Carolina where Barbara

30:11.609 --> 30:16.714 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Smith, a good friend of
mine, is working from home.

30:16.815 --> 30:20.451 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Crooked Trail Farm and
Barbara generally you're

30:20.552 --> 30:21.953 align:left position:37.5%,start line:93.33% size:62.5%
at HGIC

30:22.053 --> 30:25.290 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
on campus answering
questions from people all

30:25.390 --> 30:28.059 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
over the place and today
we are glad that you

30:28.159 --> 30:30.929 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
could carve out some time
to tell us about one

30:31.029 --> 30:35.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
of the favorite landscape
plants you have on your farm.

30:35.500 --> 30:38.203 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
Amanda, it's good to
be here with

30:38.303 --> 30:40.505 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
you even though we're
having to visit virtually.

30:40.605 --> 30:45.143 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
I wish I could be there in
person with you. You, know, when

30:45.243 --> 30:47.478 align:left position:25%,start line:0% size:75%
I meet someone,
I always tell that

30:47.579 --> 30:49.681 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
I'm a certified, card carrying
plant geek.

30:49.781 --> 30:53.151 align:left position:25%,start line:93.33% size:75%
I bleed green.

30:53.251 --> 30:55.653 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
And people will ask me
what my favorite plants

30:55.753 --> 31:01.092 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
are, and it really depends on
what happens to be growing

31:01.192 --> 31:04.562 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
in the yard that week. Cause I
really tried to design my

31:04.662 --> 31:07.765 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
landscape where
something's growing year round.

31:07.866 --> 31:10.368 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5%
But, hands down one of my

31:10.468 --> 31:15.173 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
favorites groups of plants are
Japanese maples. They just

31:15.273 --> 31:19.978 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
fascinate me. Well and the
variety of color, spring color,

31:20.078 --> 31:24.816 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
fall color, leaf shaped. You
know it's stunning

31:24.916 --> 31:30.288 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
how varied they can be.
Oh it is! And I have to tell you

31:30.388 --> 31:33.091 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
a story, the very first
Japanese maple that I got

31:33.191 --> 31:36.494 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
is that my husband and I
bought our farm in

31:36.594 --> 31:39.664 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5%
1976 and
started building our house.

31:39.764 --> 31:43.368 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
We finished it. We built
the house ourselves with our own

31:43.468 --> 31:50.408 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
two hands and the marriage
survived. And he gave me a

31:50.508 --> 31:54.846 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
Japanese Maple seedling, the
Acer palmatum.

31:54.946 --> 31:57.548 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
It was in a one gallon
can about the size

31:57.649 --> 32:01.486 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
of a pencil and knee high. And I
planted it near the house

32:01.586 --> 32:05.556 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
where I keep it watered and
pampered it and all.

32:05.657 --> 32:08.493 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Now, it's probably got a
circumference

32:08.593 --> 32:13.564 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
of it maybe two feet.
Gracious!

32:13.665 --> 32:17.969 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
It's huge. We call it
Mother Maple. She's

32:18.069 --> 32:21.539 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
beautiful and I have shared
seedlings with I don't

32:21.639 --> 32:24.075 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
know how many people
throughout the years, you

32:24.175 --> 32:28.279 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
know from her offspring.
When she and I keep

32:28.379 --> 32:34.352 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
calling her she but when
she has her fall color, it is

32:34.452 --> 32:39.023 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
the most brilliant orange, red
on fire,

32:39.123 --> 32:42.327 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
and you can see it
coming down my driveway,

32:42.427 --> 32:45.229 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
which the driveway's a quarter
of a mile long.

32:45.330 --> 32:49.367 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
I think occasionally, you snuck
out and taken your pen money

32:49.467 --> 32:52.337 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
that you've been squirreling
away over all the years.

32:52.437 --> 32:57.141 align:left position:25%,start line:93.33% size:75%
And a lot - I do.

32:57.241 --> 33:02.146 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
And bless my husband.
He understands my

33:02.246 --> 33:05.717 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5%
passion with this.

33:05.817 --> 33:08.286 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
I will squirrel some
money away and there are

33:08.386 --> 33:12.223 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
a number of the trees in
the yard I have never

33:12.323 --> 33:15.426 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
I told him what I paid for them.
He loves em too.

33:15.526 --> 33:19.897 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
And now recently I just
picked up eight new ones

33:19.998 --> 33:23.768 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5%
from
Mr maple in East Flat

33:23.868 --> 33:27.572 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
Rock in North Carolina. They had
curbside service. And there were

33:27.672 --> 33:31.609 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
some that I was obsessing
over, but had a wonderful tour

33:31.709 --> 33:36.114 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
of the Nichols garden.
But it was just amazing

33:36.214 --> 33:40.451 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
in the color and leaf shape
and all like you were saying.

33:40.551 --> 33:44.322 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
It was one that I saw that
they called Batwing.

33:44.422 --> 33:48.026 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
It looks like Batman's cave the
leaf does. And Barbara, once you

33:48.126 --> 33:50.762 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
get these established,
there's not a whole lot

33:50.862 --> 33:56.134 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
you have to do. Is there?
No, I mean, I do have -

33:56.234 --> 33:59.003 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
you know, we're going to periods
of drought or something

33:59.103 --> 34:02.240 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
like that. You know I'm really
careful with making sure.

34:02.340 --> 34:07.078 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
You don't have to water
them, you know, a lot,

34:07.178 --> 34:10.581 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
but you - I do
watch them closely.

34:10.681 --> 34:14.352 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
They remove, you know, any
damaged or dead limbs

34:14.452 --> 34:16.988 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
that type of thing in them.
Take care of

34:17.088 --> 34:19.657 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
them of course
and fertilize them.

34:19.757 --> 34:22.460 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
And you know, I didn't
tell you this but with

34:22.560 --> 34:24.929 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Mother Maple, which
seedlings I have,

34:25.029 --> 34:31.869 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
I also bonsai them. And so -
I guess my oldest

34:31.969 --> 34:34.839 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
bonsai is probably about
38 or 39

34:34.939 --> 34:38.376 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
years old.
Golly. So that's a lot of

34:38.476 --> 34:41.012 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
fun to take that and do the

34:41.112 --> 34:44.215 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
bonsai you know also. Like I

34:44.315 --> 34:48.352 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
tell people, my yard is
not a garden, is not a

34:48.453 --> 34:51.656 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
drop dead, you know,
it's a collector's yard.

34:51.756 --> 34:54.425 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5%
And you know I'm always

34:54.525 --> 34:57.562 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
adding things to it.
And just,

34:57.662 --> 35:01.265 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
there's always
a new plant out there.

35:01.365 --> 35:04.335 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Well, I'm happy to be
reunited on virtually

35:04.435 --> 35:07.305 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
without my former office
mate, Chase Smoak.

35:07.405 --> 35:11.042 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
Chase is the horticulture agent
in Sumter County. And Chase

35:11.142 --> 35:14.112 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
has a real appreciation
for what he finds in

35:14.212 --> 35:16.614 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
nature because he grew
up traveling around on

35:16.714 --> 35:19.450 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
some beautiful farmland his
parents have. And Chase,

35:19.550 --> 35:21.953 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
there are some plants that
you learned about in

35:22.053 --> 35:24.355 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
nature that you think we
could bring into our

35:24.455 --> 35:28.493 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
yard and one of them is one I
actually grow that's a great

35:28.593 --> 35:31.729 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
woody. So, let's talk
about that one.

35:31.829 --> 35:36.234 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Right! The swamp titi,
or swamp cyrilla.

35:36.334 --> 35:40.271 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
This is a gorgeous plant
that has a great habit.

35:40.371 --> 35:43.107 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Kind of gets a contorted
look to it. And at

35:43.207 --> 35:46.077 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
the end of the branches has
these beautiful you know about

35:46.177 --> 35:49.514 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
six inch long, white
Racine flowers that come

35:49.614 --> 35:52.517 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
down that actually have a
wild life value to them as

35:52.617 --> 35:56.053 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
well. You said you seen
pollen butterflies flock to it.

35:56.154 --> 35:59.757 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
I have seen
butterflies come to it before

35:59.857 --> 36:02.527 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
And you know doing a little
reading on it, they apparently

36:02.627 --> 36:05.563 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
are a good nectar source for a
lot of those butterflies.

36:05.663 --> 36:08.633 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
And although it's called
Swamp titi, mine is

36:08.733 --> 36:12.236 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
growing just in regular
garden soil at the edge of

36:12.336 --> 36:16.340 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
pine trees and Chase, the
leaves, although

36:16.440 --> 36:19.544 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
they're semi-deciduous but it's
a very

36:19.644 --> 36:22.513 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
beautiful green glossy
leaf most of the year.

36:22.613 --> 36:25.016 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
And I think you see them
in the fall and

36:25.116 --> 36:27.118 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
thought they were real pretty
too. Yeah, they'll

36:27.218 --> 36:31.155 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
have a beautiful red to burnt
orange color that they

36:31.255 --> 36:34.192 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
get on to them.
The exfoliating bark

36:34.292 --> 36:36.360 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
is wonderful too. So, a lot
of great features

36:36.460 --> 36:40.231 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
for the landscape. And then I
think when you were in

36:40.331 --> 36:43.668 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
the propagation business,
you enjoyed working with

36:43.768 --> 36:46.003 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
things that were bulbs or
rhizomes or things like

36:46.103 --> 36:48.339 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
that. And we have some
native representatives

36:48.439 --> 36:50.875 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
of that, that you think
we might want to

36:50.975 --> 36:53.578 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
pay a little more attention to.
Absolutely, the

36:53.678 --> 36:57.081 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
first one I want to talk about
is a blue eyed grass.

36:57.181 --> 36:58.916 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
Some folks may be
familiar with

36:59.016 --> 37:01.953 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
blue eyed grass that shows up in
their turf grass.

37:02.053 --> 37:03.888 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
This one's a little bit
different same

37:03.988 --> 37:06.390 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
genus, different species.
So the one that we have

37:06.490 --> 37:09.894 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
a picture of today is a
species is Augusta folio.

37:09.994 --> 37:13.197 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
And the plant gets about
one foot by one foot in

37:13.297 --> 37:16.434 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
width and height. And it
is just covered in these

37:16.534 --> 37:20.471 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
beautiful gorgeous blue
flowers. Over time could

37:20.571 --> 37:24.308 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
you divide this and maybe
expand the area? You could.

37:24.408 --> 37:28.112 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
So this is actually
grows on the bulb and

37:28.212 --> 37:30.248 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
I have not worked with
dividing it for

37:30.348 --> 37:32.783 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
a long time, but it is on a
bulb.

37:32.883 --> 37:35.886 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
We know with all things bulbs,
you can divide them as

37:35.987 --> 37:39.357 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
they grow. Okay. And then
there's a sweet little thing

37:39.457 --> 37:41.792 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
that when you come across it
just makes your

37:41.892 --> 37:43.427 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
heart flutter, because
it's just one

37:43.527 --> 37:46.797 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
of the dearest little flowers.
And once again so

37:46.897 --> 37:49.667 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
exquisite but a true
native. This is.

37:49.767 --> 37:52.670 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
This is another plant that is in
the Iris family and

37:52.770 --> 37:57.008 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
this is the dwarf iris or iris
verna. And a lot of people

37:57.108 --> 37:59.543 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
in the Upstate may be
familiar with iris crista,

37:59.644 --> 38:03.314 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
which looks very similar.
Iris verna however has a

38:03.414 --> 38:07.318 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
very fragrant flower. And
a lot of

38:07.418 --> 38:09.654 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
people might say that
the little small little

38:09.754 --> 38:12.456 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
on the small side
six inches but on big

38:12.556 --> 38:15.026 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
things come in small
packages sometimes. And it

38:15.126 --> 38:18.596 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
is a wonderful, wonderful,
beautiful flower.

38:18.696 --> 38:22.233 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
This is, one that can take shade
to some extent.

38:22.333 --> 38:26.203 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
It can. It can take part sun,
full shade And it can handle

38:26.304 --> 38:30.975 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
moist but well drained
areas and dry areas.

38:31.075 --> 38:34.512 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
So similar to the
titi and the blue eyed

38:34.612 --> 38:38.049 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
grass, it can handle dry
areas. So it's a pretty

38:38.149 --> 38:41.185 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
versatile little native
plant that is just gorgeous.

38:41.285 --> 38:43.988 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Well, Chase this is fun.
And we have a lot

38:44.088 --> 38:46.824 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
of people now who are
propagating native plants

38:46.924 --> 38:49.694 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
in our state and they
should be rewarded for

38:49.794 --> 38:51.495 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
their efforts, because
they're doing ethically

38:51.595 --> 38:54.365 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
they're not collecting on
public land. So I think

38:54.465 --> 38:56.701 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
it's good to look them up
and try

38:56.801 --> 38:59.270 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
to keep them in business. What
do you think? Certainly.

38:59.370 --> 39:01.639 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
A lot of times whenever
you go out on

39:01.739 --> 39:04.809 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
the public land, it is legal to
go out there and you

39:04.909 --> 39:07.311 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
know tamper with any type of
plant material.

39:07.411 --> 39:09.947 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
So, go through the proper chains
and a lot of

39:10.047 --> 39:12.450 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
these people working really hard
in some of them even

39:12.550 --> 39:14.652 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
help ensure that some of these
endangered populations.

39:14.752 --> 39:16.554 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
That we can go out and look

39:16.654 --> 39:19.156 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
at in the wild are going to be
there for

39:19.256 --> 39:21.092 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
our children and grandchildren.
So let's make sure

39:21.192 --> 39:23.794 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
that we support these are people
doing the right thing.

39:23.894 --> 39:25.696 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
Well, I think this is pretty
important advice.

39:25.796 --> 39:27.631 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
Thank you for taking time to
talk to us.

39:27.732 --> 39:30.668 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
Thank you so much, Amanda.
Well now we're going to

39:30.768 --> 39:34.071 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Aiken and visit with
our great friend Vicky

39:34.171 --> 39:37.174 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Bertagnolli. Vicky, we're
missing you terribly.

39:37.274 --> 39:40.811 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
I know and I miss you guys
too. My mother said I

39:40.911 --> 39:43.981 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
miss you so much, it's like I'm
missing one of my front teeth.

39:44.081 --> 39:46.283 align:left position:25%,start line:0% size:75%
That's a great -

39:46.384 --> 39:48.419 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
You definitely notice when
those are missing.

39:48.519 --> 39:52.590 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
Yeah but Vicky, you- we think of
you as being our

39:52.690 --> 39:56.894 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
bud gal and of
course you do that for us.

39:56.994 --> 40:00.831 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
But you had some pretty exciting
bird activity. Tell us

40:00.931 --> 40:04.835 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
what the world happened. I
did so, I've got a great

40:04.935 --> 40:06.971 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
piece of property that I
live on I

40:07.071 --> 40:11.542 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
live in a wooded neighborhood.
The lots are very large,

40:11.642 --> 40:14.211 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
not very large, they're
large. They're a little

40:14.311 --> 40:18.582 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
over an acre and my lot has oak
trees in it. It's got

40:18.682 --> 40:22.219 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
hickory trees and it has
pine trees in it. So, I've

40:22.319 --> 40:25.523 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
got a pretty healthy
population of wild birds

40:25.623 --> 40:28.159 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
out there. And I was
eating lunch outside

40:28.259 --> 40:33.898 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
yesterday and I heard a
lot of squawking going on.

40:33.998 --> 40:39.003 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
And there was a hub bub going
on and I looked over and

40:39.103 --> 40:42.206 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
a bluebird box that I
have mounted on a hickory

40:42.306 --> 40:46.644 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
tree had fallen over.
And asked all the mom on

40:46.744 --> 40:50.247 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
the ground trying to get
to the babies in the

40:50.347 --> 40:52.716 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
nesting box. I didn't
know what the bird was

40:52.817 --> 40:56.120 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
at the time. So I ran over
there and picked up the

40:56.220 --> 41:00.658 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
box and I have in my
bluebird box are not blue

41:00.758 --> 41:05.029 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
birds. They're great
crested flycatchers, which

41:05.129 --> 41:09.467 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
is actually a pretty neat
thing to have.

41:09.567 --> 41:13.537 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
And there was four
babies in an egg and a

41:13.637 --> 41:17.141 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
very unhappy mama up in
the tree.

41:17.241 --> 41:20.978 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
Vicky, did something enlarge
the hole? Is that why

41:21.078 --> 41:23.747 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
the blue birds didn't use
it? Is that sometimes what

41:23.848 --> 41:27.718 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
happens with bluebird
houses? So a lot of times

41:27.818 --> 41:30.788 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
you'll have eastern gray
squirrels. You'll have

41:30.888 --> 41:34.158 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
flying squirrel and
they'll come in and they'll

41:34.258 --> 41:37.461 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
widen the opening,
sometimes even rats, will

41:37.561 --> 41:40.130 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
widen the openings on
these on these boxes

41:40.231 --> 41:43.033 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
which makes it where the
bluebirds don't want to

41:43.133 --> 41:46.971 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
nest in them, but that
opens an opportunity for

41:47.071 --> 41:49.773 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
something else to nest in
it.

41:49.874 --> 41:52.309 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Historically, in that
particular box we had

41:52.409 --> 41:57.515 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
flying squirrels
and but this year we've I

41:57.615 --> 42:00.451 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
found out that we've got
great crested flycatchers.

42:00.551 --> 42:03.621 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
Well were the babies okay?
Tell me what you did.

42:03.721 --> 42:09.493 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
The babies were okay.
Whenever, I got to the box

42:09.593 --> 42:12.530 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
there were three babies
out of the box, one baby

42:12.630 --> 42:14.431 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5%
in the box and then there

42:14.532 --> 42:17.835 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
was an egg on the ground also.
It was unbroken.

42:17.935 --> 42:20.404 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
But whenever I picked up
the babies, they all

42:20.504 --> 42:23.541 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
have pin feathers. So,
they'll probably I guess

42:23.641 --> 42:27.678 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
the fledge em in maybe a
another week or so.

42:27.778 --> 42:31.882 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
But everybody was unhurt.
So I put everybody back

42:31.982 --> 42:36.120 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
into the nest box and re-
attached the nest box back

42:36.220 --> 42:41.725 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
to the tree. And the mama
was raising - She was -

42:41.825 --> 42:46.230 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
very close and
very unhappy. But then she

42:46.330 --> 42:49.700 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
settled back in. She did
as soon as we put the box

42:49.800 --> 42:54.038 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
back up and walked away,
on my way back from

42:54.138 --> 42:56.006 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
walking I had turned
around that she

42:56.106 --> 42:58.576 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
was already in the box. You
said there was

42:58.676 --> 43:02.479 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
some something pretty peculiar
in that nest. So great

43:02.580 --> 43:06.817 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
nested fly catchers
incorporate a lot of

43:06.917 --> 43:08.819 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
things into their nesting
material. They'll get

43:08.919 --> 43:12.790 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
grasses. They'll get leaves.
This one and they're

43:12.890 --> 43:16.727 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
known for this
has a piece of snake skin

43:16.827 --> 43:19.930 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5%
in there.
So, when I originally when

43:20.030 --> 43:22.566 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
I took the lid off the box

43:22.666 --> 43:24.635 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
to put the babies back in
because

43:24.735 --> 43:27.237 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
I couldn't stuff em' back
through the hole.

43:27.338 --> 43:31.175 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
I kinda - It
surprised me because

43:31.275 --> 43:33.277 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
typically when you find
the skin in there,

43:33.377 --> 43:36.614 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
that's not a good thing. And fly
catchers actually

43:36.714 --> 43:39.850 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
incorporate that in there.
It's a normal thing.

43:39.950 --> 43:43.954 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
They'll gather bits of
cloth. They'll gather a

43:44.054 --> 43:48.859 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
little strip of plastic, a
tie, a ribbon, string and

43:48.959 --> 43:50.728 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
they'll incorporate that
stuff into their nesting

43:50.828 --> 43:54.732 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
material. It's one of
their - it's one of their

43:54.832 --> 43:58.102 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
normal diagnostic
characteristics. It was it

43:58.202 --> 44:00.838 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
was a neat thing.
A friend of mine says he's

44:00.938 --> 44:03.273 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
been in the Beidler
forest and it down there

44:03.374 --> 44:07.845 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
in the forest they go
weap, weap, weap, all day long

44:07.945 --> 44:10.914 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
so it's a pretty vocal kind of
bird to have around.

44:11.015 --> 44:14.485 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
It's wonderful. This is a great
bird to learn a call for.

44:14.585 --> 44:18.689 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
They've got a dawn call. And
then there's all day long.

44:18.789 --> 44:22.860 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
And when the males are ready
to, it's breeding

44:22.960 --> 44:26.096 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
season, a lot of times
your birds have little

44:26.196 --> 44:28.265 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
short calls and they'll
the call all day.

44:28.365 --> 44:31.869 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
But the male will go on these
jags where they'll be going

44:31.969 --> 44:35.406 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
15 up to 30
minutes

44:35.506 --> 44:39.610 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
just continuous calling.
So it's really great once

44:39.710 --> 44:42.846 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
I figured out what it was
I was like oh I hear

44:42.946 --> 44:46.617 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
that bird all the time. Well
you know I'm sorry we're

44:46.717 --> 44:48.852 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
all having to work from
home and remotely,

44:48.952 --> 44:51.755 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
but in this case it sure had a
happy ending for

44:51.855 --> 44:54.358 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
those birds and thanks to
telling us that story.

44:54.458 --> 44:56.694 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
It was lucky for me
that when we are home

44:56.794 --> 44:59.663 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
because I got to eat lunch
outside not save some wildlife.

44:59.763 --> 45:01.231 align:left position:25%,start line:93.33% size:75%
It was great.

45:01.331 --> 45:02.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5%
And now we're gonna go

45:02.766 --> 45:05.335 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
to Darlington county.
All of y'all have been waiting

45:05.436 --> 45:08.706 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
for us wondering where in
the heck is Tony Melton.

45:08.806 --> 45:11.575 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
But he's right at home
with his unusual house he

45:11.675 --> 45:14.011 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
built it all by himself
up in Darlington county

45:14.111 --> 45:16.647 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
And Tony you've got some
interesting fruits there,

45:16.747 --> 45:20.484 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
including a very unusual
fig. That's right, Amanda.

45:20.584 --> 45:24.221 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
I'm kind of a fruity anyway. I'm
fruity and nutty, so

45:24.321 --> 45:27.191 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
I really fit in with my
house. My house is very

45:27.291 --> 45:31.462 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
unusual and weird is what
I call it, but my

45:31.562 --> 45:35.232 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
wife loves it. As long as
that happens, I'm okay, Amanda.

45:35.332 --> 45:39.503 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
That's right. Keep, we want
Mitzi to be happy. Well,

45:39.603 --> 45:42.606 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
tell me about this
unusual fruit, fig tree

45:42.706 --> 45:45.409 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
that you have. Yeah a
friend of mine got em'

45:45.509 --> 45:48.746 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
in from California. There's a
lot of California fig. You can

45:48.846 --> 45:52.549 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
actually go on a website and
see. There's lots. I don't

45:52.649 --> 45:54.852 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
remember exactly how many, about
a hundred different

45:54.952 --> 45:57.588 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
California figs because
they really do grow a lot

45:57.688 --> 46:01.125 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
of figs out there. A lot
of them do well here.

46:01.225 --> 46:04.695 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
One I have is Black Ischia.
Now, I don't know how to

46:04.795 --> 46:07.598 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
spell that. That's pretty
tough to spell. But it is

46:07.698 --> 46:12.536 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
a huge fig. It is very big
and it's almost as big of

46:12.636 --> 46:16.740 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
my fist. Goodness.
And it does not need a wasp

46:16.840 --> 46:21.311 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
pollinator, is that correct?
No it does not, it pollinates

46:21.411 --> 46:24.047 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
itself, and
it is actually not as

46:24.148 --> 46:26.416 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
sweet as the brown
turkey or celeste.

46:26.517 --> 46:29.153 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
They're not really highly
sweet. So I can eat them

46:29.253 --> 46:33.056 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
a little bit with my
diabetes. Okay, so that

46:33.157 --> 46:35.459 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
would be a good thing for
people to know about.

46:35.559 --> 46:38.462 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
They could grow them too. And
you said, you had fewer

46:38.562 --> 46:40.998 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
bird and insect
problems with this one

46:41.098 --> 46:43.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
maybe because it's not so
sweet you're thinking.

46:43.500 --> 46:47.538 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Yeah it doesn't draw them
in as much. You don't

46:47.638 --> 46:49.807 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
smell them you know. Usually
you go around a

46:49.907 --> 46:53.310 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
brown turkey, you smell those,
that fruit and all

46:53.410 --> 46:58.715 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
insects and birds. And this
doesn't do that.

46:58.816 --> 47:03.086 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
And then you've got
another, persimmon that

47:03.187 --> 47:06.957 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
is of an Asian variety
and let's talk about what

47:07.057 --> 47:10.527 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
makes that one so special
Tony. Yes it is a non

47:10.627 --> 47:13.430 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
astringent one, which means it
doesn't turn your mouth

47:13.530 --> 47:16.200 align:left position:25%,start line:0% size:75%
inside out.

47:16.300 --> 47:19.336 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
And I know my brother and
sister used to like to

47:19.436 --> 47:23.807 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
trick me to eat a persimmon that

47:23.907 --> 47:28.111 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
would be so bitter and all.
Yeah. And but this one

47:28.212 --> 47:32.115 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
doesn't. And you can eat
it halfway ripe.

47:32.216 --> 47:35.152 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
And it's actually crisp
like an apple.

47:35.252 --> 47:37.688 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
I like then just as good or
better than it'll

47:37.788 --> 47:39.723 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
take place in an apple in the

47:39.823 --> 47:42.726 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
Low country of South Carolina. I
know I grow em' too and

47:42.826 --> 47:44.895 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
I just love em' Tony because,
you could

47:44.995 --> 47:48.532 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
eat it when it's crisp. And it
doesn't need a pollinator.

47:48.632 --> 47:52.202 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
unlike ours, which is, you
know has male and females.

47:52.302 --> 47:56.039 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
This one has both flowers
on the same one.

47:56.139 --> 47:57.641 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
And you don't have all
the problems

47:57.741 --> 47:59.576 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
you have if you try to grow an

47:59.676 --> 48:02.446 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
apple down in our part of the
state. Do you? That's right.

48:02.546 --> 48:05.816 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
That's right. Apples are tough
to grow in our part of the

48:05.916 --> 48:10.320 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
state. Really hard. Persimmon is
delicious. It is. I love em.

48:10.420 --> 48:13.724 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
And so, I got two big trees.
They start to

48:13.824 --> 48:16.793 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
get big. It takes a little
while because they have

48:16.894 --> 48:20.530 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
so many good almost fist size
fruit on em.

48:20.631 --> 48:24.301 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
It takes a while for them to
grow, Amanda. And then Tony,

48:24.401 --> 48:28.472 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
you do have one pear tree and it
is one that

48:28.572 --> 48:31.642 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
has some problems in our
part of the state. Is it

48:31.742 --> 48:35.879 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
an Asian pear. Asian, oriental.
A lot of people call

48:35.979 --> 48:39.983 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
them by different common names,
but they're really good,

48:40.083 --> 48:41.852 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
really good pears.
Really juicier than all

48:41.952 --> 48:47.824 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
pears. And they have such
bad fire blight.

48:47.925 --> 48:50.193 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5%
And this one I got is a

48:50.294 --> 48:54.031 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
Pashia. It
does have fire blight.

48:54.131 --> 48:57.634 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
And I'm gonna kind of show
you here in a minute

48:57.734 --> 49:01.538 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
how to prune it out.
I don't like to spray too much.

49:01.638 --> 49:05.475 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
You can spray the streptomycin
or agromycin

49:05.575 --> 49:09.379 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
onto the tree to try to
keep down the fire blight.

49:09.479 --> 49:11.381 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
What I do is I just
prune

49:11.481 --> 49:15.886 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
back a little bit beyond the
fire blight.

49:15.986 --> 49:18.789 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
And its good cropping. Yeah
well, you

49:18.889 --> 49:21.825 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
still get, you still
get the pears. Yeah my

49:21.925 --> 49:24.394 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
trees are twenty feet
tall.

49:24.494 --> 49:27.831 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Yeah okay and then I
think the last thing we

49:27.931 --> 49:31.435 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
were going to talk about
was a big old fat

49:31.535 --> 49:35.305 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
blueberry. I love my
titans. Yeah. It's titan and I

49:35.405 --> 49:38.175 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
reckon, that's just
a name for something big.

49:38.275 --> 49:41.278 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
But, Titan is almost as
big as the end of my thumb.

49:41.378 --> 49:44.448 align:left position:25%,start line:0% size:75%
And I've got some
nice blueberries out there

49:44.548 --> 49:48.318 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
now. Yeah, I do have
squirrels. Squirrels love

49:48.418 --> 49:51.888 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
to come eat those too. And
my pears and I tell my

49:51.989 --> 49:54.891 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
father in law, he's
a big squirrel. He comes and

49:54.992 --> 49:58.762 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
loves to eat my blueberries too.
But they are great

49:58.862 --> 50:01.064 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
and they really do bear,
even though it takes a

50:01.164 --> 50:04.968 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
long time to get fruit
onto a blueberry plant, because

50:05.068 --> 50:08.305 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5%
you know
it takes, they're

50:08.405 --> 50:13.477 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
slow as grand mama. Takes a
while to grow. And they

50:13.577 --> 50:17.114 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
have to get tall. It takes
years. So, don't be impatient

50:17.214 --> 50:19.649 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
with blueberries.
Whenever you get a good

50:19.750 --> 50:22.853 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
sized plant they'll
really be produceful. And Tony,

50:22.953 --> 50:25.622 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
you said this is a rabbit eye,
so it's designed to

50:25.722 --> 50:28.725 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
go in our part of the
world. And I think you've

50:28.825 --> 50:32.262 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
got a pollinator that
is doing just fine. We

50:32.362 --> 50:35.198 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
have to do that, but
you'll have something

50:35.298 --> 50:37.401 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
that you could enjoy for
your grandchildren and

50:37.501 --> 50:40.070 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
for many, many years to
come. And that's another

50:40.170 --> 50:44.908 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
thing you can eat is berries.
You can have a berries on

50:45.008 --> 50:47.444 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
kind of the Keto diet or
whatever, you know.

50:47.544 --> 50:51.381 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Sure. The diet for
diabetes. People can eat

50:51.481 --> 50:55.419 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
berries. And they're really
good.

50:55.519 --> 50:57.754 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Well, Tony I want to
thank you for giving

50:57.854 --> 51:00.390 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
us more ideas about
backyard fruits that we

51:00.490 --> 51:03.460 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
could have and
enjoy without having to

51:03.560 --> 51:06.663 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
spray them every time we
turn around. And some of

51:06.763 --> 51:08.899 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
them are even good for people
who are trying to

51:08.999 --> 51:11.401 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
watch their sugar. Thank you so
much for sharing all this

51:11.501 --> 51:13.670 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
information with us. We
really do appreciate it.

51:13.770 --> 51:18.275 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Thank you, Miss Amanda.
Appreciate you having me on.

51:18.375 --> 51:21.244 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
Well, Tony I'm glad you don't
have a deer fence because

51:21.344 --> 51:23.447 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
I might have to come out
over there one afternoon

51:23.547 --> 51:26.083 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
and sneak around to get
some of those delicious

51:26.183 --> 51:28.018 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5%
fruits that you're
growing at home. Well, for

51:28.118 --> 51:30.120 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
my show and tell, I'm gonna
show you how

51:30.220 --> 51:33.390 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100%
to make a hat. If I'd known
twenty years ago that I'd

51:33.490 --> 51:35.725 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
have to lie awake in bed
saying what in the world

51:35.826 --> 51:37.627 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
am I gonna put on my hair
tomorrow,

51:37.727 --> 51:39.930 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
I don't know if I would have
started. But I did.

51:40.030 --> 51:43.467 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
So let's learn how to do it. I
go and get some of this

51:43.567 --> 51:45.902 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
wire that's covered with
raffia and I cut a

51:46.002 --> 51:49.506 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
piece. And I put it
around my head. I don't want

51:49.606 --> 51:52.843 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
it too tight, but I don't want
it too loose either. And so you

51:52.943 --> 51:57.247 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
just twine that up.
And I have some cheap

51:57.347 --> 52:01.118 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
cheap, cheap pruners
that I use because all

52:01.218 --> 52:04.221 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
this wire just ruins them.
So don't use your

52:04.321 --> 52:06.022 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
good pruners if you
decide you want to

52:06.123 --> 52:08.525 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
do this. Okay then. The
first thing that you got

52:08.625 --> 52:10.594 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
to get is all this
plant material to go out

52:10.694 --> 52:12.462 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
in the garden and see
what you can get

52:12.562 --> 52:14.664 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
or you stop on the side of the
road and

52:14.764 --> 52:17.567 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
then you have to start cleaning
it up because, you have to

52:17.667 --> 52:19.436 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
take all the leaves and things
off. Because there's

52:19.536 --> 52:22.005 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
just not room for that. So you
might wanna leave a few.

52:22.105 --> 52:24.040 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
I've already gone
ahead and done that on a

52:24.141 --> 52:28.545 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
lot of these. And
when I do this, when I

52:28.645 --> 52:30.547 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
do at the station normally, I
bring it over

52:30.647 --> 52:34.317 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
and I have to get it in and try
to keep everything cool

52:34.417 --> 52:36.620 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
because you know these
are these are the kind of

52:36.720 --> 52:38.989 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
flowers that last long
outside of water. Then I

52:39.089 --> 52:42.559 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
just kind of start. I always
start in this direction

52:42.659 --> 52:45.061 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
and work that way. I don't
know that's just how I do.

52:45.162 --> 52:48.031 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75%
And I've got this
beautiful Crinum.

52:48.131 --> 52:50.901 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
Probably Jenks farmer
gave it to me and so I'm

52:51.001 --> 52:54.604 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
going to cut the stem down. And
this is really too much.

52:54.704 --> 52:57.073 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
So a lot of times you
have to cut the plant

52:57.174 --> 53:00.377 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
material down. This piece
is kind of old and so I'm

53:00.477 --> 53:03.480 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
going to take that down.
And then

53:03.580 --> 53:06.383 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
I don't wanna be quite
that much on the bottom.

53:06.483 --> 53:08.552 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
And I've got lots of
different kinds of wire.

53:08.652 --> 53:11.288 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
I've got real thick wire
and then our water and

53:11.388 --> 53:13.790 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
I've also got this sticky
tape I think I used sticky

53:13.890 --> 53:16.126 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
tape for this. When you use
sticky tape, there's a

53:16.226 --> 53:18.461 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
real trick you have to
not let it get on your

53:18.562 --> 53:20.764 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
lip or it will pull your lip
off.

53:20.864 --> 53:23.800 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
So, you have just use your
teeth. Be like a Hollywood

53:23.900 --> 53:26.102 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
movie star. So I'm
doing something to wrap

53:26.203 --> 53:29.539 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
that up and wrap those
together.

53:29.639 --> 53:33.310 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
And then I'm going to let
that be the first thing

53:33.410 --> 53:39.115 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
on my hat. And I will
use some more of that

53:39.216 --> 53:40.984 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5%
sticky tape for that.

53:48.625 --> 53:52.896 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
Here we go. We have a start.

53:52.996 --> 53:55.699 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
I have some garden phlox
that I thought were

53:55.799 --> 53:58.568 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
really pretty and I think
that those colors of mix

53:58.668 --> 54:01.238 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
in nicely so I'm going to
touch them kind of under

54:01.338 --> 54:04.274 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
it against the stamps
this time I'm going to

54:04.374 --> 54:08.445 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
use some lawyer and this
is kind of a film wire

54:08.545 --> 54:11.448 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
because these aren't too
hard the stems are kind

54:11.548 --> 54:13.917 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
of small it's not going
to take too much strength

54:14.017 --> 54:17.954 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
to hold them on so put
them on and then I've got

54:18.054 --> 54:21.758 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
this beautiful hydrangea
paniculata. I think

54:21.858 --> 54:25.295 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
this is grandiflora. I
have several of those and

54:25.395 --> 54:28.598 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
I think I'm going to make
this one a little small

54:28.698 --> 54:30.734 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
you have to tear flowers
up a lot because they

54:30.834 --> 54:32.335 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
don't always nature
doesn't make him the

54:32.435 --> 54:35.772 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
right size for hats. And
once again we'll get this

54:35.872 --> 54:38.508 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
heavier wire now because
I've got a good many

54:38.608 --> 54:41.344 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
stems I'm trying to put
together.

54:43.280 --> 54:48.018 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
So twist that around.
Okay we've got a start.

54:48.118 --> 54:50.153 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
And then I've got some
nice blue I thought we'd

54:50.253 --> 54:53.323 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
add some of that. And when
you do flowers look at

54:53.423 --> 54:56.926 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
these hydrangeas. You can
go in and pull some of

54:57.027 --> 54:59.829 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
the bad parts out. And as
you see, it takes a while

54:59.929 --> 55:01.831 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
to make hats I'm just
going to keep on

55:01.931 --> 55:03.800 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5%
working and then you
could see the finished
