Are you allowed to go and visit 03:07.787 --> 03:10.924 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% with them? What are your parameters? Yes, Amanda. 03:11.024 --> 03:13.593 align:left position:25%,start line:0% size:75% I get to get out and go look at the 03:13.693 --> 03:16.296 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% beautiful crops. And I hate to say it, this year 03:16.396 --> 03:20.300 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100% there have been some kind of ugly crops too, but not because 03:20.400 --> 03:23.903 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100% of the farmer but because of the rain, being so, so much 03:24.003 --> 03:27.607 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% rain this year. But I've been out looking at crops 03:27.707 --> 03:30.009 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and advising farmers. I can always give 03:30.109 --> 03:33.646 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% him a call. I go look and then call him and 03:33.746 --> 03:36.683 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% we talk about the situation. It's, you know, 03:36.783 --> 03:40.320 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% farming is not easy. It takes a lot of different 03:40.420 --> 03:43.022 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% people looking at it and things 03:43.122 --> 03:46.793 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% to know.

And I 03:49.963 --> 03:52.665 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% hope I can share that with the farmers. 03:52.765 --> 03:56.102 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Thank you, Tony. And Terasa Lott is off this week. 03:56.202 --> 03:58.605 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% Instead of the gardens of the week we're 03:58.705 --> 04:02.242 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% going to have a segment on a very serious problem 04:02.342 --> 04:05.245 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that's been discovered in South Carolina. 04:09.949 --> 04:12.752 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% Hi. My name is Dave Coyle of the Clemson Extension. Today 04:12.852 --> 04:15.021 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% we're going to talk about the Asian Longhorn Beetle. 04:15.121 --> 04:16.889 align:left position:25%,start line:0% size:75% This is a new invasive wood boring 04:16.990 --> 04:18.558 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% beetle. It's recently become established in 04:18.658 --> 04:21.227 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Charleston County, South Carolina. We're standing 04:21.327 --> 04:23.596 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% here in the Low country. Were sitting right by 04:23.696 --> 04:25.732 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% tree that's very heavily infested. And there's a 04:25.832 --> 04:28.101 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% few characteristics for Asian Longhorn Beetle that can help 04:28.201 --> 04:31.070 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you realize this tree might have it. The first 04:31.170 --> 04:34.207 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% thing are these little conical open position tics. 04:34.307 --> 04:37.143 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% The adult will sit there and chew a little nudge 04:37.243 --> 04:39.846 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% into the tree and then they will lay their eggs 04:39.946 --> 04:42.248 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% in there. It'll lay the eggs. The larvae then 04:42.348 --> 04:44.851 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% develop into foam for a few weeks and then they 04:44.951 --> 04:46.886 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% burrow straight into the wood. They feed on 04:46.986 --> 04:49.155 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the wood for a number of months. 04:49.255 --> 04:51.557 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% At that point they pupate and they come out. 04:51.658 --> 04:53.760 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% When they come out they make these perfectly 04:53.860 --> 04:54.994 align:left position:25%,start line:93.33% size:75% round exit holes. 04:55.094 --> 04:57.730 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% These are round enough and big enough, you can stick a 04:57.830 --> 04:59.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pencil in there about an inch. The adults 04:59.766 --> 05:02.201 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% will emerge from that. They will come and they will 05:02.302 --> 05:05.571 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% feed on the tender green bark of these little chutes. 05:05.672 --> 05:07.907 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% You have this chew damage here. At that point 05:08.007 --> 05:10.343 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% those adults are going to mate. Females will start 05:10.443 --> 05:12.412 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% chewing again. She'll lay her 05:12.512 --> 05:15.248 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% eggs and the cycle repeats. This is the adult 05:15.348 --> 05:17.517 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Asian Longhorn Beetle. You can see she's got 05:17.617 --> 05:20.586 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% a very long black and white striped antennae. If you look 05:20.687 --> 05:23.456 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% closely on the feet, they look blue. They've got a 05:23.556 --> 05:26.726 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% bluish, whitish blue tinge to them. And then she's got 05:26.826 --> 05:30.430 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% this big black body with white spots. And one important 05:30.530 --> 05:35.101 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% thing is that right behind where the head and abdomen meets. 05:35.201 --> 05:37.537 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% The thorax and the abdomen meets. There's no white 05:37.637 --> 05:40.940 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% spot. It's all black. We have a common sawyer here 05:41.040 --> 05:43.509 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that has a white spot right there. So these three 05:43.609 --> 05:46.279 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% characteristics are the best way to tell if you 05:46.379 --> 05:48.147 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% have an Asian Longhorn Beetle. 05:48.247 --> 05:50.483 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% If you think you've seen an Asian Longhorn Beetle, 05:50.583 --> 05:52.885 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% we'd like you to contact one of three people. 05:52.985 --> 05:55.054 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% First is Clemson DPI, Department of Plant 05:55.154 --> 05:57.757 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Industries.

And third - contact the 06:00.960 --> 06:04.964 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% USDA Animal Plant Health Inspection Service or USDA. 06:09.869 --> 06:12.438 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% We want to thank Dave Coyle and also Parker 06:12.538 --> 06:15.441 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Johnson and Jamie Poleman. They are part of the 06:15.541 --> 06:17.810 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Forestry and Natural Resources tea, who went 06:17.910 --> 06:21.180 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% down and shot that with Dave and gave us a break, 06:21.280 --> 06:25.251 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% but sent us this very important information. So, 06:25.351 --> 06:28.421 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% everybody keep your eyes out for that imported 06:28.521 --> 06:32.925 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% beetle. Vicky, insects are your passion. Other than 06:33.025 --> 06:35.528 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% the dog that sits in your lap occasionally. And you've 06:35.628 --> 06:37.964 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% got an interesting one to talk about. My mother used 06:38.064 --> 06:40.099 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to say she hated flies more them sin. 06:40.199 --> 06:42.702 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% I can remember fly paper and things like that. 06:42.802 --> 06:46.105 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% But really, the insect kingdom is so diverse. And you've 06:46.205 --> 06:49.876 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% got a fly that's actually beneficial. 06:49.976 --> 06:53.413 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And it's not that flies are always bad. 06:53.513 --> 06:56.215 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% They're like you said. There are a number of them 06:56.315 --> 06:59.018 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% that are beneficial. And one of them that I worked with 06:59.118 --> 07:02.822 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% extensively was when I was working for the 07:02.922 --> 07:06.859 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Alabama Fire Ant Management program as a technician 07:06.959 --> 07:11.464 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and then also working on my Master's work was a 07:11.564 --> 07:16.068 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% fly that's a parasitoid, of fire ants. 07:16.169 --> 07:19.572 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And what it does is this little fly, their 07:19.672 --> 07:23.009 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% natural enemies, they'll lay eggs inside of the 07:23.109 --> 07:27.146 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% fiery ants in the thorax. The egg hatches, the 07:27.246 --> 07:30.349 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% maggot goes up into the fire ant's head, secretes an 07:30.450 --> 07:34.821 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% enzyme, makes the fire ants head fall off and then 07:34.921 --> 07:38.825 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% the fly is gonna to use the fly's head as a 07:38.925 --> 07:42.695 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% puparium and eventually emerge out of that ant 07:42.795 --> 07:46.766 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% head as an adult fly and the whole 07:46.866 --> 07:49.135 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% process starts all over again. 07:49.235 --> 07:53.439 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And Vicky, I believe that researchers went to the 07:53.539 --> 07:56.809 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% natural range of the red imported fire ant to 07:56.909 --> 08:00.012 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% research this and were very, very careful before 08:00.112 --> 08:02.515 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% bringing it to the United States. And they weren't 08:02.615 --> 08:05.785 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% certain that it would be able to reproduce here. 08:05.885 --> 08:08.254 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% But has it been successful. 08:08.354 --> 08:13.826 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So, whenever the USDA is taking on projects to 08:13.926 --> 08:16.562 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% bring in imported species to use as 08:16.662 --> 08:20.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% biological control for another species, what 08:20.166 --> 08:23.069 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% they're trying to do is go to the native range 08:23.169 --> 08:27.640 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and there's anywhere from two to ten years worth of 08:27.740 --> 08:30.877 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% testing to make sure that this is going to be a 08:30.977 --> 08:33.212 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% suitable release, that they're not going to go 08:33.312 --> 08:36.249 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% after different species, that it's not gonna 08:36.349 --> 08:39.552 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% disrupt natural ecosystems. And you're 08:39.652 --> 08:42.455 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% right, the researchers went down to 08:42.555 --> 08:44.891 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% South America where the fire ants are natives and 08:44.991 --> 08:49.829 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% also these flies and then they brought them back 08:49.929 --> 08:54.367 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and exposed them in the lab. There were species 08:54.467 --> 08:56.903 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% tests to make sure that they were going to attack 08:57.003 --> 08:59.305 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% other species of ants. They found them to be 08:59.405 --> 09:01.307 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% suitable. And then they started releasing them 09:01.407 --> 09:05.978 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% around the southeast in the mid 90s. 09:06.078 --> 09:10.550 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% There's about ten species that they've released. 09:10.650 --> 09:13.853 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% We have two of them in South Carolina, that's 09:13.953 --> 09:15.922 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Pseudacteon tricuspis and Pseudacteon curvatus. 09:16.022 --> 09:20.927 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% And they're thriving. They're 09:21.027 --> 09:25.298 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% all over the southeast. But one thing you have to 09:25.398 --> 09:28.668 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% think about is that these are extremely 09:28.768 --> 09:31.337 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% specialized insects. And so they're not a silver 09:31.437 --> 09:35.107 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% bullet. And it's just another tool in our 09:35.207 --> 09:38.678 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% toolbox whenever we're trying to manage a pest. 09:38.778 --> 09:41.681 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Alright, but there's another. There's lots 09:41.781 --> 09:44.383 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of parasitoid flies, I understand. And you got 09:44.483 --> 09:46.252 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% another one that's quite interesting. Let's talk 09:46.352 --> 09:49.789 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% about that one. I do. And one thing you 09:49.889 --> 09:52.224 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% need to know is that a parasitoid is different 09:52.325 --> 09:56.128 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% than a parasite. A parasitoid means that 09:56.228 --> 09:58.664 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% it's going to kill its host in order to complete 09:58.764 --> 10:01.867 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% its life cycle. And I found this wonderful 10:01.968 --> 10:06.472 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Tiger bee fly. And this was outside on my 10:06.572 --> 10:10.843 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% porch sitting on my coleus. And there's about 10:10.943 --> 10:13.679 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% 800 different species of bee flies in 10:13.779 --> 10:17.416 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% North America. And one of the things that you need 10:17.516 --> 10:20.086 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to know about this particular one is this is 10:20.186 --> 10:24.457 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Xenox tigrinus and this happens to be a 10:24.557 --> 10:28.194 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% parasitoid of carpenter bees. Whew! 10:28.294 --> 10:30.863 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And this is what makes it wonderful. You're going to 10:30.963 --> 10:34.567 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% see these flies hanging around untreated wood 10:34.667 --> 10:38.037 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% structures, like privacy fences, 10:38.137 --> 10:42.241 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% overhangs, anywhere carpenter bee would 10:42.341 --> 10:46.846 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% hang out. And that fly is looking for a carpenter 10:46.946 --> 10:49.849 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% bee nest, because what she's gonna do is she's 10:49.949 --> 10:54.086 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% going to lay her eggs either next to or either 10:54.186 --> 10:57.623 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% next to the carpenter bee eggs or she's gonna 10:57.723 --> 11:02.862 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% lay them at the entrance. And that first instar fly 11:02.962 --> 11:08.701 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% larva is extremely mobile. And they're gonna burrow 11:08.801 --> 11:13.706 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% their way into the carpenter bee and into 11:13.806 --> 11:16.742 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the larva. And then once inside they're going to 11:16.842 --> 11:20.146 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% consume that larva as they grow, they're gonna 11:20.246 --> 11:24.150 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% metamorphose inside the carpenter bee nest. And 11:24.250 --> 11:27.720 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% eventually they're going to emerge from that 11:27.820 --> 11:31.457 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% carpenter bee nest. Thank you Vicky. We're excited 11:31.557 --> 11:33.659 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to learn about the fascinating aspects of 11:33.759 --> 11:36.796 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% nature. Allison Jones is an education coordinator 11:36.896 --> 11:38.964 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% at the South Carolina Botanical Garden. 11:39.065 --> 11:42.034 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% You may remember, natural dyes for eggs that 11:42.134 --> 11:44.036 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% we did with her. Well, she's come 11:44.136 --> 11:46.672 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% up with another wonderful project and this one's called 11:46.772 --> 11:48.040 align:left position:25%,start line:93.33% size:75% plant pounding. 11:51.944 --> 11:53.345 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% I'm speaking with Allison 11:53.446 --> 11:55.881 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% Jones who is the Educational Coordinator 11:55.981 --> 11:58.117 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% for the South Carolina Botanical Garden. 11:58.217 --> 12:01.053 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% And Alison you usually are doing 12:01.153 --> 12:04.323 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% projects with children. And one that you're going 12:04.423 --> 12:07.827 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to talk to us about today is one that you done a 12:07.927 --> 12:12.031 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% lot with them. And it's making art using 12:12.131 --> 12:16.569 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% collected plant leaves or flowers and somehow 12:16.669 --> 12:20.806 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% transferring that pigment to the background. What do 12:20.906 --> 12:24.710 align:left position:25%,start line:0% size:75% you call this? We call it plant pounding. 12:24.810 --> 12:26.746 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% Sometimes folks will call it leaf or 12:26.846 --> 12:30.750 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% flower pounding. But, so plant pounding using 12:30.850 --> 12:34.854 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% leaves or flowers and a hammer to get those 12:34.954 --> 12:37.723 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% pigments out of the plant part and onto the surface 12:37.823 --> 12:41.193 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% you're working on. And what are the different surfaces 12:41.293 --> 12:43.929 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you can use? Do you use a 12:44.029 --> 12:48.167 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% T-shirt or a piece of fabric or paper? What's 12:48.267 --> 12:52.238 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% the best? Or are all those accessible? Those are all 12:52.338 --> 12:54.840 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% good options. And so, particularly if you're 12:54.940 --> 12:59.345 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% working with children, I would suggest using paper. 12:59.445 --> 13:01.614 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% Because it's easy if they make a mistake, 13:01.714 --> 13:04.650 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you can easily toss that one get a new piece. 13:04.750 --> 13:07.219 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% But, if you use paper, I would suggest a 13:07.319 --> 13:10.022 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% thicker paper. So like a card stock or maybe even 13:10.122 --> 13:13.359 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% a watercolor paper. Those would work really well. But as far as 13:13.459 --> 13:17.363 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% fabric goes, You can use fabric as well. Okay and 13:17.463 --> 13:20.599 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% if I have fabric, do I want something brand new? 13:20.699 --> 13:23.235 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Or do I what something that's maybe doesn't have 13:23.335 --> 13:26.772 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% a lot of sizing left in it? What would you suggest? So, if 13:26.872 --> 13:31.343 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you're using fabric obviously if you're using 13:31.443 --> 13:34.947 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% a fabric like in this case, I made a 13:35.047 --> 13:37.983 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% T-shirt. I used an old t-shirt of my daughter's 13:38.083 --> 13:40.786 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% that was stained. I sort of up-cycled it. 13:40.886 --> 13:43.189 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% My option was limited. That's the t-shirt I had. 13:43.289 --> 13:45.791 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% But it's 100% cotton, so it's a good option. 13:45.891 --> 13:48.828 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Okay if you're using fabric though for like a 13:48.928 --> 13:51.597 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% decorative item, like a table runner or 13:51.697 --> 13:54.266 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% piece of wall art, again you just want to get 13:54.366 --> 13:56.468 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% something that's a 100% cotton. 13:56.569 --> 14:00.706 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And yes, washing it in advance can help just to 14:00.806 --> 14:04.009 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% make sure that there's nothing on it 14:04.109 --> 14:06.345 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that's going to interfere with the dye absorption 14:06.445 --> 14:09.114 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% or the stain absorption, I should say. 14:09.215 --> 14:12.651 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So, no stain resistant fabrics. That's right. 14:12.751 --> 14:15.454 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% That's right. We're going to try to 14:15.554 --> 14:18.624 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% stain it with the colors in the plant material 14:18.724 --> 14:22.294 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that we collect. Exactly. Yeah. How do we go about 14:22.394 --> 14:23.996 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% collecting the plant material? What do 14:24.096 --> 14:28.434 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% you suggest looking for? Sure, okay. So, you're gonna of 14:28.534 --> 14:30.736 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% course be limited, you know depending on what 14:30.836 --> 14:35.007 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% area you're in. But, definitely leaves work 14:35.107 --> 14:37.977 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% well, just that the green the chlorophyll 14:38.077 --> 14:41.313 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% leaves tends to work really well. But, I know in 14:41.413 --> 14:43.682 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the case of my daughters, they wanted most 14:43.782 --> 14:45.751 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% all flowers, when they do their 14:45.851 --> 14:48.821 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% projects. So, with the flowers, of course, you 14:48.921 --> 14:51.790 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% know you tend to pick something rich in hue, 14:51.891 --> 14:53.792 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% thinking that will transfer. And usually that 14:53.893 --> 14:57.630 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% is the case. But it isn't always the case. Sometimes, 14:57.730 --> 14:59.865 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% those really rich hues are some of the ones 14:59.965 --> 15:04.470 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% that fade more. But no matter what, you're gonna get 15:04.570 --> 15:08.107 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% you know a pretty result. It's going to be maybe darker 15:08.207 --> 15:11.277 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% or lighter. But you'll get to see as you experiment. 15:11.377 --> 15:15.381 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And I do suggest that if you are a person who is 15:15.481 --> 15:17.483 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% working with a child who's really attached 15:17.583 --> 15:20.586 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% to a certain design idea or you are as the adult 15:20.686 --> 15:23.322 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% working on the craft, that you experiment with 15:23.422 --> 15:26.258 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pounding those leaves or flowers first. See what 15:26.358 --> 15:28.794 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% they do before you make your final design. 15:28.894 --> 15:32.598 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Good advice. Good advice. So, do I want to dry the 15:32.698 --> 15:36.101 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% plants or do they need to be 15:36.201 --> 15:39.571 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% fresh? How would you select them and store them? 15:39.672 --> 15:42.508 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Yes. So, the best thing to do actually is to collect 15:42.608 --> 15:45.210 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% them as close to when you think you have time 15:45.311 --> 15:49.181 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% to do the project. So, now again if you're selecting from 15:49.281 --> 15:51.417 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% like a remote location and then you're gonna 15:51.517 --> 15:53.886 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% work on them at home, you can certainly keep 15:53.986 --> 15:56.488 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% them fresh with water and do the best you can. 15:56.588 --> 15:58.824 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% The goal is to have them as fresh as possible, 15:58.924 --> 16:01.460 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% because then that way they're gonna retain moisture and the 16:01.560 --> 16:03.929 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pigment will be able to be released more easily. 16:04.029 --> 16:07.099 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Alright, so I've gone out and I went out early 16:07.199 --> 16:09.568 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and to my friend's house because she has a lovely 16:09.668 --> 16:13.005 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% garden. And I've collected some things and I've got 16:13.105 --> 16:15.708 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I'm gonna use a piece of sheet 16:15.808 --> 16:19.645 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that's been washed a good bit. And so now what, 16:19.745 --> 16:22.948 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% what's the next step? Absolutely. So it is 16:23.048 --> 16:26.151 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pretty simple. So you're gonna gather up your plant 16:26.251 --> 16:29.588 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% materials and the first step - well, the first step 16:29.688 --> 16:32.391 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% is really making sure you have what you need to 16:32.491 --> 16:35.027 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% work with. So you're gonna need like a cutting board 16:35.127 --> 16:38.430 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% or even just a hard piece of wood. Because you 16:38.530 --> 16:41.266 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% need something hard to be able to hammer on top of. 16:41.367 --> 16:45.104 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% So, I would not suggest a like a split 16:45.204 --> 16:47.206 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% wood bamboo type of cutting board. You don't 16:47.306 --> 16:49.608 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% want to crack the cutting board but a solid 16:49.708 --> 16:53.846 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% piece. So you're gonna get that and maybe a 16:53.946 --> 16:57.182 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% towel. You can put that up under. And that will 16:57.282 --> 17:00.419 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% dampen the noise a little bit for you. And you can 17:00.519 --> 17:02.955 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% use a cutting board or piece of wood like this. 17:03.055 --> 17:06.091 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% You can either set it in your lap to work on 17:06.191 --> 17:10.295 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to pound your leaves. Or like for 17:10.396 --> 17:12.865 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% children that's a little unwieldy, so it's easier 17:12.965 --> 17:16.201 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to put on the ground and let them just hammer over 17:16.301 --> 17:19.304 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% top of it. You're going to take a piece of fabric 17:19.405 --> 17:22.441 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and lay it on top of your cutting board. 17:22.541 --> 17:24.710 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Then you're gonna, the first step is to arrange 17:24.810 --> 17:27.413 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% your design. So, make your leaves and flowers and so 17:27.513 --> 17:29.715 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% forth and design you want. Once you get to 17:29.815 --> 17:32.484 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% that point, you may notice that there are some pieces you 17:32.584 --> 17:36.088 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% need to cut up. So, just take your scissors and 17:36.188 --> 17:38.724 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% trim those a bit and you're gonna use 17:38.824 --> 17:42.161 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% tape, masking tape would work or painters 17:42.261 --> 17:47.299 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% tape will work to secure those into place. 17:47.399 --> 17:50.869 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% Because if you don't, that first jarring 17:50.969 --> 17:53.272 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% hit of the hammer is gonna just wobble everything 17:53.372 --> 17:55.941 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% around,. So, you're going to use the tape and you're 17:56.041 --> 17:59.878 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% going to go around the edges of every leaf and 17:59.978 --> 18:03.816 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% flower until you have the entire design covered how 18:03.916 --> 18:06.518 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you want it. The only thing that is really 18:06.618 --> 18:09.288 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% different is that with a t-shirt, you're going to 18:09.388 --> 18:11.957 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% be you know working on the front surface of a 18:12.057 --> 18:15.060 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% t-shirt. In order to get to the backside, you have 18:15.160 --> 18:18.430 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to turn your shirt inside out and then lay 18:18.530 --> 18:22.167 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% it down. And in order to protect the back of the 18:22.267 --> 18:25.104 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% shirt if that concerns you, cause pigments 18:25.204 --> 18:28.040 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% will bleed through if you don't. You can just cut some 18:28.140 --> 18:31.310 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% paper towels or even a hand towel inside the 18:31.410 --> 18:34.012 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% shirt to keep the front surface from 18:34.113 --> 18:37.783 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% bleeding to the back. And it's as simple as 18:37.883 --> 18:40.419 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% just you continue to pound. You can kind of work 18:40.519 --> 18:43.655 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% from the edges of a leaf or a flower inward and then 18:43.755 --> 18:47.159 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% once you have it all done, turn it over and reveal on 18:47.259 --> 18:51.029 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% what you have under that tape. 18:51.130 --> 18:54.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% If you're doing it on paper, don't - 18:54.166 --> 18:56.401 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% This is something I haven't mentioned, but on the 18:56.502 --> 18:59.071 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% paper before you put down the tape, you're going to 18:59.171 --> 19:01.573 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% put down a layer of paper towel. And then you're 19:01.673 --> 19:04.710 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% gonna use the tape, so you won't require as much tape. 19:04.810 --> 19:07.880 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% You're gonna can use the tape just to hold the paper towel 19:07.980 --> 19:11.550 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% down. And just pound the leaf or flower down that way. 19:11.650 --> 19:14.319 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So, that's how you hold it. But again, we use 19:14.419 --> 19:16.889 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% painters tape we got a few little tears here and 19:16.989 --> 19:19.691 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% there, but it was nothing substantial. So you really 19:19.791 --> 19:25.864 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% do want to tape the plant material down, well. 19:25.964 --> 19:28.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% You're gonna really be whacking away on it. 19:28.167 --> 19:32.337 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% So, you got to get the whole with tape, is that correct? 19:32.437 --> 19:36.008 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Yes, so, the more elaborate your design, the more 19:36.108 --> 19:39.278 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% you're going to need it to be really 19:39.378 --> 19:43.448 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% taped down in place. So, for the t-shirt that 19:43.549 --> 19:47.152 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I made, I taped down everything all the way, 19:47.252 --> 19:51.190 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% very secure before doing any pounding. With a paper 19:51.290 --> 19:56.628 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% project though, you can easily do one section, you 19:56.728 --> 19:59.298 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% know, take that off and move on to the next 19:59.398 --> 20:01.633 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% section. But, certainly, once you turn that shirt 20:01.733 --> 20:04.403 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% inside out to go back and forth and back and 20:04.503 --> 20:07.139 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% forth, you wouldn't be able to keep your design, right? 20:07.239 --> 20:09.775 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And then you really just use a hammer like you 20:09.875 --> 20:12.945 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% would hammer a nail in the wall? Yes, just 20:13.045 --> 20:16.481 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% a steel headed hammer. A lot of folks I 20:16.582 --> 20:19.484 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% think, think to themselves, maybe a mallet would be 20:19.585 --> 20:22.187 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% better, right. But actually you won't get enough of 20:22.287 --> 20:26.491 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% the pigment out that way. You you want that 20:26.592 --> 20:30.829 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% hard metal surface to use. And you just started 20:30.929 --> 20:36.034 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% with the outside pounding and hit each section just like once 20:36.134 --> 20:38.470 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and then try to overlap and move around and 20:38.570 --> 20:41.506 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% concentric circles, moving towards the middle? Yes. 20:41.607 --> 20:44.843 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Well the way, the way that I would do it is you know 20:44.943 --> 20:47.479 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% roughly in your mind where some leaves or 20:47.579 --> 20:51.250 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% flowers are that you've placed. So you try to locate one 20:51.350 --> 20:53.151 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% And you'll start to see where the 20:53.252 --> 20:56.588 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% margins are. And so what I suggest is start at the 20:56.688 --> 20:58.924 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% margins. If you're working on one flower in 20:59.024 --> 21:01.193 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% your big design, start in the margins of that 21:01.293 --> 21:04.596 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% flower and then start working your way in. 21:04.696 --> 21:07.299 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% What will happen is you'll kind of see when you're done. 21:07.399 --> 21:09.167 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% You're gonna see pigment coming through on 21:09.268 --> 21:12.304 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the working side too. So, you will see that image 21:12.404 --> 21:14.840 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% appear. And, you of course, you don't 21:14.940 --> 21:16.808 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% know for certain what you got until you 21:16.908 --> 21:20.112 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% open it. So you just want to try to do your best to 21:20.212 --> 21:22.281 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% judge. It looks like enough pigment has gone 21:22.381 --> 21:25.217 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% through. Kids are sometimes tempted you know just 21:25.317 --> 21:27.686 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% whack here, whack there and they don't get as 21:27.786 --> 21:30.489 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% thorough coverage. So, they get almost like a 21:30.589 --> 21:33.225 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% dash or polka dotted effect rather than the 21:33.325 --> 21:36.662 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% whole botanical image. So, you want to kind 21:36.762 --> 21:39.798 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of remind them. Complete the whole thing and 21:39.898 --> 21:42.501 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that's why it helps to kind of spiral in. 21:42.601 --> 21:45.937 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Do I need to set it in any way? And does it make 21:46.038 --> 21:48.073 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% any difference if it's on paper or fabric? 21:48.173 --> 21:50.942 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% What's the next step I need to go through? Okay 21:51.043 --> 21:54.112 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% so if you are making a piece that you want to be 21:54.212 --> 21:57.716 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% able to wash. Know, first and foremost that 21:57.816 --> 22:01.653 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% these stains are going to fade over time. That is 22:01.753 --> 22:04.623 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% going to happen. But to make them last longer. Yes 22:04.723 --> 22:07.826 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you need to try to set the stains. So, one way 22:07.926 --> 22:11.029 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that you can do that is you can use an iron and 22:11.129 --> 22:14.132 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you can just iron the stains in. 22:14.232 --> 22:16.635 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Okay, so you're trying to instead of trying to 22:16.735 --> 22:18.503 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of course get out a stain with cool, 22:18.603 --> 22:21.206 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% don't use hot. You're trying to set it with that hot 22:21.306 --> 22:24.209 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% temperature. If you want to take it a step further 22:24.309 --> 22:26.712 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% which is what I tried, because I wanted to 22:26.812 --> 22:30.916 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% see you know how I well I can get it to set in. 22:31.016 --> 22:34.753 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I used a method that I read about from a quilter 22:34.853 --> 22:37.322 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and an artist uses leaf pounding in her quilts. 22:37.422 --> 22:40.759 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Her name is Betty Kimbrell. And what she does is she 22:40.859 --> 22:44.363 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% uses a mixture of vinegar and water and after her 22:44.463 --> 22:46.331 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% leaf pounding is complete on her fabric, 22:46.431 --> 22:48.734 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% she'll then place your fabric in that bath and 22:48.834 --> 22:52.037 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% let it sit for a little while to help set 22:52.137 --> 22:55.073 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the fabric to help it to retain the color for a 22:55.173 --> 22:57.876 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% longer period of time and obviously if you're going 22:57.976 --> 23:00.512 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to be washing the fabric, again you're going to be 23:00.612 --> 23:02.981 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% doing very gently. You're going to want to hand 23:03.081 --> 23:08.353 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% wash it. And I've heard in researching this, folks say 23:08.453 --> 23:10.889 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% 'Well, I don't worry about it. I just throw it' 23:10.989 --> 23:14.059 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% 'in the wash and what comes out, comes out.' So you always 23:14.159 --> 23:16.027 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% have that option. You just have to be 23:16.128 --> 23:18.463 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% prepared that you could lose a lot of your work. 23:18.563 --> 23:21.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So, setting it with what I did, was set it with 23:21.266 --> 23:24.002 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% an iron first and then put it in a water and 23:24.102 --> 23:26.238 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% vinegar bath for about fifteen minutes. I let to 23:26.338 --> 23:30.008 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% hang out to dry and then I did I hand wash with 23:30.108 --> 23:33.712 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% just a gentle detergent, a hand wash in the sink and 23:33.812 --> 23:36.748 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% had my final product. And did you heat the water 23:36.848 --> 23:39.084 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and vinegar solution or was it just room 23:39.184 --> 23:41.753 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% temperature? That's a great question I just did 23:41.853 --> 23:45.457 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% room temperature for my solution. And then if 23:45.557 --> 23:50.095 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% we used paper, I wouldn't be ironing the 23:50.195 --> 23:53.064 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% paper I don't suppose. Do I just go ahead and frame it. 23:53.165 --> 23:55.033 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% No. So, once you're done with your 23:55.133 --> 23:57.569 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% paper you just kind of let it dry. 23:57.669 --> 24:00.539 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% One thing though to note, is that when you lift up your 24:00.639 --> 24:03.642 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% paper towel and your tape from your paper design, 24:03.742 --> 24:05.977 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% when you got a look at that, sometimes you'll 24:06.077 --> 24:10.148 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% notice that there is some debris left from the 24:10.248 --> 24:14.085 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% petals or the leaf. So, sometimes your 24:14.186 --> 24:16.188 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% first inclination is going to be scratch 24:16.288 --> 24:19.257 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% that away, but I will warn you that usually that's 24:19.357 --> 24:22.194 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% okay. You can clean it up a little bit. But take 24:22.294 --> 24:26.164 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% care. Because sometimes leaving a really thin film 24:26.264 --> 24:29.067 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% of tissue creates a really beautiful design. And if 24:29.167 --> 24:32.037 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you remove it, you can remove a lot of the color 24:32.137 --> 24:35.440 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and prettiness with it. But once you are done 24:35.540 --> 24:38.877 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pounding the paper designs, that's the last 24:38.977 --> 24:42.013 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% step. You're ready to go and truth be told if 24:42.113 --> 24:45.250 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you're just using a plane sludge of fabric 24:45.350 --> 24:48.987 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% like we've done many years. Like this one. I did not set this. 24:49.087 --> 24:52.858 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% I pounded and then this is about six or seven years 24:52.958 --> 24:57.729 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% old. And I never did any setting. I just was done. I 24:57.829 --> 25:00.699 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% framed it I knew I would never wash it. And it's 25:00.799 --> 25:04.836 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% lasted for years. I just think I'm gonna have to 25:04.936 --> 25:08.039 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% get my hammer out and I'm so glad you told me about 25:08.139 --> 25:10.542 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the mallet. Because I had a mallet. And 25:10.642 --> 25:13.211 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that's what I should use. But I actually will use 25:13.311 --> 25:18.016 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% my hammer. And I will try to not do it 25:18.116 --> 25:20.252 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% while my husband likes to sleep later than 25:20.352 --> 25:24.222 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I do in the morning. Absolutely, it's a very 25:24.322 --> 25:27.158 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% noisy project. And for a lot of children, that's 25:27.259 --> 25:30.195 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% part of the fun, is they get to really get loud 25:30.295 --> 25:34.266 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% with a hammer. Well, you have opened up ways that 25:34.366 --> 25:38.970 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% we can explore our backyards more and have 25:39.070 --> 25:40.972 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% wonderful experiences with our children and with 25:41.072 --> 25:43.542 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% our friends and then have memories of those 25:43.642 --> 25:46.845 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% experiences to keep. Thank you so very much for 25:46.945 --> 25:50.782 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% sharing another great project with us. Thank you so 25:50.882 --> 25:52.217 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% much for having me, Amanda. 25:55.420 --> 25:57.522 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% So, get out your hammer 25:57.622 --> 26:01.092 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% and have at it. And you'll feel a lot 26:01.192 --> 26:03.128 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% better after you finish. And you'll have something 26:03.228 --> 26:05.630 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% beautiful to hang on your wall or a wonderful T- 26:05.730 --> 26:08.099 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% shirt to wear. Thank you again Allison Jones for 26:08.199 --> 26:11.870 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% sharing your incredible creativity with us. 26:11.970 --> 26:14.439 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Tony, one of the things that I just love about 26:14.539 --> 26:16.841 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Summer is cucumbers. I like cucumber sandwiches. 26:16.942 --> 26:19.978 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I like you cucumbers with vinegar on them. I like 26:20.078 --> 26:24.149 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% cucumber soup. I have even made cucumber sherbet. 26:24.249 --> 26:27.786 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% But cucumbers are actually kind of hard to 26:27.886 --> 26:30.188 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% grow. They have several problems. So, tell us about 26:30.288 --> 26:32.157 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% some of the things that make it difficult 26:32.257 --> 26:33.758 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% sometimes to have this wonderful summer 26:33.858 --> 26:37.629 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% vegetable. Yes, Amanda this in the 26:37.729 --> 26:41.366 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Fall especially, it starts around July the first. 26:41.466 --> 26:44.636 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% That's when things start moving in that you don't 26:44.736 --> 26:48.340 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% want in your cucumbers. First off, I got 26:48.440 --> 26:53.378 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pictures there of a pickleworm. Pickleworm is 26:53.478 --> 26:58.016 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% a little maggot, moth that lays its egg 26:58.116 --> 27:01.353 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% on the pickle and it burrows into the pickle. And it 27:01.453 --> 27:04.889 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% makes a mess. Commercial growers have a 27:04.990 --> 27:07.425 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% hard time controlling it. But they do. I mean we're 27:07.525 --> 27:09.794 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% growing a lot of commercial pickles in 27:09.894 --> 27:12.797 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% South Carolina, now. Actually, thousands of 27:12.897 --> 27:15.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% acres of pickles are being grown in South 27:15.500 --> 27:19.771 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Carolina. They harvest on machines Amanda. 27:19.871 --> 27:24.242 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Kinda like a cotton picker. It goes through the field and they 27:24.342 --> 27:27.545 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% either pickup the cucumbers and take them off the vine and do it 27:27.646 --> 27:30.982 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% with hand - I used to go out and pick all day long 27:31.082 --> 27:34.486 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% with cucumbers. And that is a job, Amanda. 27:34.586 --> 27:36.454 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% Sticking your prostare up 27:36.554 --> 27:39.257 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% in the air and picking cucumbers is no fun. 27:39.357 --> 27:41.393 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% I tell you the honest truth. 27:41.493 --> 27:45.296 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Well, pickleworm is tough. And then another one is 27:45.397 --> 27:48.500 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% downy mildew. And I happen to have some here. 27:48.600 --> 27:51.703 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% If you stick it in a bag, it kinda gets all the 27:51.803 --> 27:54.706 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% way up under the bottom of the leaf. And on top 27:54.806 --> 27:59.110 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you have a little bit of a checkerboard. 27:59.210 --> 28:01.680 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And it is a tremendous problem. It comes in 28:01.780 --> 28:04.683 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% July too. It just moves up from Florida. 28:04.783 --> 28:09.554 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% These problems are shared by Florida our way and 28:09.654 --> 28:13.191 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% then whenever it comes in it gets very difficult to grow 28:13.291 --> 28:16.961 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% any kind of cucumbers. it also goes to squash. 28:17.062 --> 28:19.831 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And then there's another type downy mildew that goes 28:19.931 --> 28:22.600 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% to watermelon. It gets on watermelon, too. 28:22.701 --> 28:26.071 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% So, it is more difficult to grow and if 28:26.171 --> 28:29.541 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% curb it, that in South Carolina in 28:29.641 --> 28:32.544 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% the Fall. So, it gets really tough. 28:32.644 --> 28:37.382 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Tony, what conditions are favorable for explosions of 28:37.482 --> 28:39.684 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% downy mildew. You told me it's been pretty 28:39.784 --> 28:43.588 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% bad this year. Right, rain, rain, rain. That encourages it 28:43.688 --> 28:47.792 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% tremendously because it is a more mold. It likes 28:47.892 --> 28:52.430 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% wetness. Wetness on the leaves, it spreads and it 28:52.530 --> 28:55.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% gets worse and then it produces spores that 28:55.266 --> 28:58.837 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% travel in the wind and then goes from Florida to 28:58.937 --> 29:03.675 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Michigan, all the way up the east coast. And we 29:03.775 --> 29:06.478 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% have a pretty tough time. And the problem with it 29:06.578 --> 29:10.181 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% especially is that it's resistant to most of our 29:10.281 --> 29:12.817 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% fungicide. But the only thing a 29:12.917 --> 29:16.588 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% homeowner can do is use a chlorothalonil or 29:16.688 --> 29:20.592 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% a lot of people call it Daconil. And just use it 29:20.692 --> 29:24.529 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% on a repeated basis. And then once it gets bad, 29:24.629 --> 29:27.465 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% hopefully you got some more planted somewhere else. 29:27.565 --> 29:30.401 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% Okay. Thanks so much, Tony 29:30.502 --> 29:33.838 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I appreciate that. Vicky, again you found 29:33.938 --> 29:37.942 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% some fascinating insect that we probably 29:38.042 --> 29:41.446 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% would never have noticed. But, with your sharp eyes, it 29:41.546 --> 29:44.616 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% didn't get past you. I tell you what, you would 29:44.716 --> 29:48.820 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% absolutely notice this. We were eating dinner 29:48.920 --> 29:53.391 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% outdoors and all of a sudden, there was a very 29:53.491 --> 29:56.728 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% large beetle sitting in an empty chair that was 29:56.828 --> 30:00.632 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% not invited to dinner. And it was one of those things 30:00.732 --> 30:02.801 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% you're like, what the heck is that? 30:02.901 --> 30:06.137 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And this thing was, it's one of the larger beetles 30:06.237 --> 30:08.239 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% that we have in our area. 30:08.339 --> 30:11.843 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% This is called an ox beetle. This particular species looks 30:11.943 --> 30:16.447 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to be Strategic antaeus is what the 30:16.548 --> 30:20.084 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% scientific name is. And the adults are active 30:20.185 --> 30:23.688 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% from May to November. And they're trying to 30:23.788 --> 30:26.624 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% mate this whole time. And this is a really 30:26.724 --> 30:30.962 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% interesting beetle in that there are major 30:31.062 --> 30:36.134 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% males and there are minor males. So, that these are - 30:36.234 --> 30:38.336 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% These are similar to Rhinoceros Beetles 30:38.436 --> 30:40.872 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Sometimes, they call them Rhinoceros Beetles. 30:40.972 --> 30:45.743 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% But they have horns and the major males have very 30:45.844 --> 30:48.880 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% large pronounced horns. And then the minor males 30:48.980 --> 30:52.350 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% have smaller horns. And then the females have the 30:52.450 --> 30:54.719 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% central horn but they won't have the two 30:54.819 --> 30:57.689 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% larger ones. Very, very easy to 30:57.789 --> 31:01.092 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% identify. We've got six species in 31:01.192 --> 31:05.063 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% our area. And the larvae of the 31:05.163 --> 31:10.535 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% species can sometimes be a pest on tree fruits. 31:10.635 --> 31:13.304 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% They mention specifically peaches. 31:13.404 --> 31:15.673 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% I talked to Tony about it and he 31:15.773 --> 31:18.276 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% mentioned that he's not hearing them as a problem 31:18.376 --> 31:21.546 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% here in South Carolina. These beetles are 31:21.646 --> 31:24.949 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% very, very interesting and that whenever they dig 31:25.049 --> 31:27.952 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% their burrows to lay their eggs, they're 31:28.052 --> 31:31.990 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% digging them six to eight inches down into a 31:32.090 --> 31:36.127 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% vertical shaft. And then they make a one to five 31:36.227 --> 31:39.998 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% inch horizontal chamber. And these chambers 31:40.098 --> 31:43.968 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% sometimes connect but they'll lay one egg per 31:44.068 --> 31:47.171 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% chamber. And apparently 31:47.272 --> 31:48.673 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% this is the behavior that 31:48.773 --> 31:52.210 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% they developed, because in lab colonies they noticed 31:52.310 --> 31:55.480 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that the larvae are cannibalistic. And, so 31:55.580 --> 31:58.016 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% apparently they've gotten smarter and they said, 'Hey!' 31:58.116 --> 32:02.053 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% 'It's only a good idea to lay one egg per chamber.' 32:02.153 --> 32:06.457 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% But they'll have, the larvae are gonna feed 32:06.557 --> 32:10.695 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% on leaf debris, kind of death out there decaying, 32:10.795 --> 32:15.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% especially oak leaves and oak roots. And then you're 32:15.333 --> 32:20.271 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% gonna see the boroughs in about August. 32:20.371 --> 32:23.207 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And you're gonna have first instars in October, 32:23.308 --> 32:27.545 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% second instars in January, third instars in 32:27.645 --> 32:29.881 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Spring. And then you're gonna start seeing these 32:29.981 --> 32:34.686 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% adults after that. Absolutely amazing! 32:34.786 --> 32:38.523 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And what is damaging about them Vicky? 32:38.623 --> 32:41.726 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% The larvae are feeding on the roots 32:41.826 --> 32:47.932 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% of trees. Fortunately, I think 32:48.032 --> 32:51.035 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you and Tony chatted earlier this isn't 32:51.135 --> 32:53.571 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% something that feeds on our peach trees here and 32:53.671 --> 32:55.606 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% other parts of the country. They have had 32:55.707 --> 32:58.977 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% some problems with it. They mentioned it was 32:59.077 --> 33:01.779 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% around the southeast. These are found all 33:01.879 --> 33:03.581 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% over the eastern U.S., 33:03.681 --> 33:07.318 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% all the way west out to Texas and Oklahoma. 33:07.418 --> 33:09.988 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% But the one thing that I found in the literature 33:10.088 --> 33:12.623 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% it seems to be that it was only mentioned it one 33:12.724 --> 33:14.959 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% place in Alabama. So, I don't think they're one 33:15.059 --> 33:18.129 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of the major pests, but they could be 33:18.229 --> 33:21.332 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% considered pest pestiferous. Well, I think 33:21.432 --> 33:24.135 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% peaches have enough pests. They can just stay down there 33:24.235 --> 33:28.206 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% in Alabama. As far as I'm concerned. 33:28.306 --> 33:30.942 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Well, thank you Vicky. That was fun and I'm so glad 33:31.042 --> 33:33.011 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% we got to watch that interesting video about 33:33.111 --> 33:36.681 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% it too. We sure appreciate it. You're welcome. 33:36.781 --> 33:40.952 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Bill Powell is our state bee specialist and 33:41.052 --> 33:45.390 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% pollinator specialist. And he reminds us that 33:45.490 --> 33:48.126 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% sometimes things don't have to have great big 33:48.226 --> 33:51.696 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% flowers in order to be very important food 33:51.796 --> 33:54.699 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% sources for pollinators. So, let's go and learn 33:54.799 --> 33:57.735 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% about how important hollies can be for some 33:57.835 --> 33:59.270 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% of our pollinators. 34:01.472 --> 34:04.375 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% I'm talking with Ben Powell, and Ben is the 34:04.475 --> 34:08.579 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Extension Apiculture and Pollinators Specialist. 34:08.679 --> 34:11.816 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% And Ben with all the things we hear about 34:11.916 --> 34:14.285 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% the problems that bees and 34:14.385 --> 34:16.054 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pollinators have, we're so glad that there's 34:16.154 --> 34:19.657 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% somebody whose specifically designated 34:19.757 --> 34:21.793 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% to help get the information out of what 34:21.893 --> 34:27.298 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% we as citizens can do to do our part. And you said 34:27.398 --> 34:30.034 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% there's a plant that you particularly enjoy that 34:30.134 --> 34:33.171 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% people often don't think of as being important in 34:33.271 --> 34:36.941 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% that pollinating, feeding world. Yes, you 34:37.041 --> 34:39.243 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% know, it's funny, Amanda, we've been doing these 34:39.343 --> 34:42.513 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100% ZOOM meetings, these online meetings and our team of 34:42.613 --> 34:45.683 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% horticulture agents have met regularly. And one of 34:45.783 --> 34:47.785 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the questions the team posed to everybody was, 34:47.885 --> 34:50.822 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% 'What's your favorite plant?' and I piped up and 34:50.922 --> 34:53.558 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% said the hollies. And there was a kind of a 34:53.658 --> 34:57.528 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% round of chuckles that went through the crowd. 34:57.628 --> 35:00.264 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Everybody was like that's just a foundation 35:00.364 --> 35:02.934 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% plant. 'What's special about hollies?' 35:03.034 --> 35:05.736 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% But they are actually some of my favorites. 35:05.837 --> 35:09.073 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Well and I guess we feel that way because 35:09.173 --> 35:11.442 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% hollies aren't known for great big beautiful 35:11.542 --> 35:15.613 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% flowers. Right. But they're very important flowers. 35:15.713 --> 35:17.815 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And hollies have male flowers and female 35:17.915 --> 35:21.686 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% flowers. And so, let's talk about 35:21.786 --> 35:25.690 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% why those kind of small flowers are important and 35:25.790 --> 35:27.692 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% what's important about the male flower. And 35:27.792 --> 35:30.228 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% what's important about the female flower? 35:30.328 --> 35:34.465 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% So, hollies are a very diverse group of 35:34.565 --> 35:37.735 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% plants. There's like 500 species worldwide. 35:37.835 --> 35:40.771 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And I think North America has about half of those. 35:40.872 --> 35:44.876 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So, we actually you know get to see what they 35:44.976 --> 35:47.245 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% can do on a regular basis. The good news 35:47.345 --> 35:51.315 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% is we have a lot of options for landscaping, as well. 35:51.415 --> 35:54.185 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% The holly flower is not a very big showy 35:54.285 --> 35:58.589 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% flower, for us. But if you were a bee, it's the best 35:58.689 --> 36:02.059 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% thing ever. Highly nutritious, has 36:02.160 --> 36:06.230 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% a lot of nectar volume to it, as well as pollen. 36:06.330 --> 36:09.567 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% And when Holly trees are in bloom, you will see just 36:09.667 --> 36:12.470 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% about every kind of pollinator in your area 36:12.570 --> 36:15.907 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% work in those trees. So, if you're somebody who 36:16.007 --> 36:19.210 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% likes to look at pollinators and 36:19.310 --> 36:23.147 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% photograph them, holly is going to be - it's 36:23.247 --> 36:25.516 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% like having a whole lot of channels on your 36:25.616 --> 36:29.487 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% cable almost. That's right. I was just looking 36:29.587 --> 36:32.290 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% at some East Palatka hollies 36:32.390 --> 36:35.860 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that I just planted last Fall. And there only about 36:35.960 --> 36:38.529 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% eight feet tall right now. They are so full of 36:38.629 --> 36:42.800 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% blooms that it was so much activity with bees 36:42.900 --> 36:46.003 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and flies and butterflies and so many different 36:46.103 --> 36:48.973 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% insects, that you know my kids are like, 'Can I even 36:49.073 --> 36:52.076 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% go out there dad ? It's a whole lot of stuff flying 36:52.176 --> 36:54.545 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% around over there.' Like man, their foraging. 36:54.645 --> 36:57.515 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% They're not gonna hurt you, right now. They're much 36:57.615 --> 36:59.450 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% more interested in getting something to eat. 36:59.550 --> 37:03.788 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Why is both pollen and nectar important? 37:03.888 --> 37:08.326 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% How is it used? Sure, so honey bees are relatively 37:08.426 --> 37:12.396 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% unique in that they collect and store nectar 37:12.496 --> 37:16.000 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% which is the carbohydrate, the sugar source. And so, 37:16.100 --> 37:18.336 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% hollies are good for that. So, you will definitely 37:18.436 --> 37:21.172 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% find honey bees working that. But most of our 37:21.272 --> 37:24.909 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% native pollinators, the solitary pollinators, what 37:25.009 --> 37:27.979 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% they're really most focused on is the pollen. 37:28.079 --> 37:31.182 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% For folks that are interested in protecting 37:31.282 --> 37:34.418 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% pollinators, they need to think about 37:34.518 --> 37:37.688 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% vertical planting. And what I mean by that is 37:37.788 --> 37:40.224 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% most of us don't have huge yards we don't have 37:40.324 --> 37:43.561 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% a thousand acre forest to manage or a hundred acre 37:43.661 --> 37:47.031 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% farm field. We've got a tenth or a half an acre 37:47.131 --> 37:49.433 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% in our backyard. And we're looking for things that 37:49.533 --> 37:52.036 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% help pollinators and insects, but we don't have 37:52.136 --> 37:54.639 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% a lot of room. Things like an American 37:54.739 --> 37:58.476 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% holly give you vertical growth with lots of blossoms, 37:58.576 --> 38:01.545 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% so you don't take up a lot of space like you would 38:01.646 --> 38:03.581 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% with like a wildflower meadow. 38:03.681 --> 38:06.183 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% because honey bees they 38:06.284 --> 38:09.587 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% have to visit two million blossoms to produce one 38:09.687 --> 38:13.090 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pound of honey. So, that's a lot of flowers. 38:13.190 --> 38:17.261 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% It is. And the Holly has very 38:17.361 --> 38:20.931 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% nectar rich flowers. Yeah and if you can grow 38:21.032 --> 38:23.634 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% a tall plant that has lots of flowers on it, 38:23.734 --> 38:26.203 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you don't take up so much space then you've done a 38:26.304 --> 38:28.572 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% really good thing for honey bees and pollinators. 38:28.673 --> 38:30.608 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% Well now, we have some deciduous 38:30.708 --> 38:34.178 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% hollies and they sometimes have a 38:34.278 --> 38:36.013 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% feature in that their berries are more 38:36.113 --> 38:38.916 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% prominently displayed in the Winter. I guess they 38:39.016 --> 38:41.519 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% would be just as good for the pollinators, 38:41.619 --> 38:43.988 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% wouldn't they? They sure are. They bloom just as 38:44.088 --> 38:46.023 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% prolifically, one that comes to mind is the 38:46.123 --> 38:48.959 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% winter berry. It's a to beautiful kind of mid 38:49.060 --> 38:51.929 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% story shrub. It likes field edge habitats with a 38:52.029 --> 38:54.365 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% little bit of sun, a little bit of shade. 38:54.465 --> 38:57.201 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% But when it gets the right habitat, it can be 38:57.301 --> 39:00.705 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% just loaded with large bright red berries, right 39:00.805 --> 39:02.373 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% in the middle of the winter 39:02.473 --> 39:04.875 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% time when everything else is just dull and drab. 39:04.975 --> 39:07.745 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I got to go on a nature weekend once and down 39:07.845 --> 39:10.981 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% towards the coast. and there were 39:11.082 --> 39:14.785 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% these inconsequential looking Hollies. Ilex glabra 39:14.885 --> 39:17.221 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% or inkberry holly or apparently 39:17.321 --> 39:21.025 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% sometimes even gallberry holly. 39:21.125 --> 39:24.428 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% The flowers I can barely see him but I got one up and 39:24.528 --> 39:26.097 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% watched them him for a while. 39:26.197 --> 39:29.900 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% And they were super, super busy with pollinators. 39:30.000 --> 39:32.937 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% And I understand that the gallberry 39:33.037 --> 39:36.073 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% honey is even considered kind of a 39:36.173 --> 39:40.644 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% real special kind. So, but the inkberry 39:40.745 --> 39:42.513 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% was so loose. I've heard that they've 39:42.613 --> 39:45.349 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% been doing some work to try to get it more 39:45.449 --> 39:47.685 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% compact so that we could maybe use it 39:47.785 --> 39:50.521 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% as a foundation plants instead of box woods. So, for 39:50.621 --> 39:53.157 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the folks that live in the Low country you can 39:53.257 --> 39:55.426 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% go into some of the old forest or habitats 39:55.526 --> 39:58.095 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% especially where they do control burning. And the 39:58.195 --> 40:01.599 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% under storey can be a large blanket of these 40:01.699 --> 40:04.168 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% little low growing hollies. 40:04.268 --> 40:06.036 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% It's a very unique holly because it 40:06.137 --> 40:08.639 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% actually has a blackberry. This is the gall 40:08.739 --> 40:12.076 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% berry or inkberry holly referred and it largely 40:12.176 --> 40:14.211 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% is overlooked because it's not really a very 40:14.311 --> 40:17.982 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% showy, flashy plant. But for a pollinator having a 40:18.082 --> 40:21.252 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% huge field of flowers that are intense nectar 40:21.352 --> 40:24.855 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% producers, for a very short period of time, is just 40:24.955 --> 40:27.691 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% it's heaven. Also, you can go into some of these 40:27.792 --> 40:29.927 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% managed forests in the low coastline and 40:30.027 --> 40:33.030 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% find these plants and just find every pollinator 40:33.130 --> 40:36.767 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% you can imagine working them. The problem is, it's not 40:36.867 --> 40:40.604 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% really one we think of using in a landscape scenario. 40:40.704 --> 40:42.573 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Because like you said, it's loose it doesn't 40:42.673 --> 40:44.642 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% have a whole lot of foliage compared to 40:44.742 --> 40:48.112 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the amount of stem. It's got blackberries instead 40:48.212 --> 40:51.415 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of the red berries. But there's been some work. 40:51.515 --> 40:55.119 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% You've tuned me into this a little bit. 40:55.219 --> 40:57.621 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I think you can find some that are much 40:57.721 --> 41:00.591 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% more attractive for foundation plantings and might even 41:00.691 --> 41:03.360 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% be able to replace things like boxwoods. Wow! That'll 41:03.461 --> 41:05.963 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% be good, because boxwoods not much use to our 41:06.063 --> 41:08.466 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pollinators and this would be. And with the 41:08.566 --> 41:11.635 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% boxwood blight we would we would be removing 41:11.735 --> 41:14.505 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that work from my yard. Sure and at least you get 41:14.605 --> 41:18.242 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% a berry out of this one too, a little more interest. 41:18.342 --> 41:21.212 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Yeah and I bet by the end I think Holly berries 41:21.312 --> 41:24.215 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% aren't super attractive to birds but at the end of the 41:24.315 --> 41:27.151 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% season, don't you think at the end of the 41:27.251 --> 41:29.386 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% season when they're really hungry they say, 'Oh,' 41:29.487 --> 41:31.288 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% 'heck, I'm just going to go ahead' 41:31.388 --> 41:34.558 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% 'and eat my spinach like I'm supposed to.' Right! I think 41:34.658 --> 41:37.428 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% there are few birds that do specialize 41:37.528 --> 41:39.196 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% on them, like cedar waxwings 41:39.296 --> 41:42.266 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% I believe they're attracted to holly berries. 41:42.366 --> 41:44.969 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And so I think you know having that extra food 41:45.069 --> 41:47.705 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% source is definitely gonna attract some desirable 41:47.805 --> 41:49.974 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% wildlife. Well, I think that's fun 41:50.074 --> 41:52.743 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% and I'll tell you I'll end by telling you a story 41:52.843 --> 41:54.545 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that perhaps you'll find interesting. My mother 41:54.645 --> 41:57.748 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% grew up in Old Ellington, where the bomb plant is 41:57.848 --> 42:02.052 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% now at a site. And back then, they didn't 42:02.152 --> 42:04.488 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% get cedar trees for Christmas. They would go 42:04.588 --> 42:10.427 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% out and get a female native American Holly. 42:10.528 --> 42:11.795 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Because they wanted to bring 42:11.896 --> 42:13.631 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% those beautiful berries and have that as 42:13.731 --> 42:17.067 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% part of the decorations. Well, and the great news is with 42:17.167 --> 42:19.603 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% hollies, there's been so much interest over such a 42:19.703 --> 42:23.874 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% long time. We have so many cultivars that we can use. 42:23.974 --> 42:26.510 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Burford Hollies and Foster Hollies and 42:26.610 --> 42:28.879 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% hybrids and crosses. They give us all these 42:28.979 --> 42:32.016 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% different shapes and sizes and features. 42:32.116 --> 42:33.684 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% There's pretty much a Holly for 42:33.784 --> 42:36.086 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% just about every purpose. Well, it sounds like there 42:36.186 --> 42:37.955 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% certainly is from the insect world. 42:38.055 --> 42:40.357 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% And I want to thank you for sharing this 42:40.457 --> 42:42.126 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% information with us today. You're welcome. 42:44.295 --> 42:45.529 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% One of the nice things 42:45.629 --> 42:47.665 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% about hollies is if you got some with 42:47.765 --> 42:49.199 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the female Hollies with berries, 42:49.300 --> 42:51.535 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% they're mighty pretty to bring in the house during 42:51.635 --> 42:54.171 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% the holidays and use them to decorate. Thank you, Ben 42:54.271 --> 42:55.973 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% and we look forward to learning 42:56.073 --> 42:58.876 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% a lot more from Ben with his new position as our 42:58.976 --> 43:01.579 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% State Pollinator and Bee Specialist. I think 43:01.679 --> 43:04.248 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% there's a more fancier word for it than that. 43:04.348 --> 43:06.884 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% But that gets it done. Tony Melton, 43:06.984 --> 43:09.587 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% sometimes we just need to get things done. 43:09.687 --> 43:14.258 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Don't we? And you know, people who moved to South 43:14.358 --> 43:16.393 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Carolina think about peas and they think about 43:16.493 --> 43:18.796 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% those little green bullets. But, that's not what we 43:18.896 --> 43:21.665 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% think about sometimes when we talk about peas. Is it? 43:21.765 --> 43:27.538 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% That's right. We call those peas, China berries, here. 43:27.638 --> 43:31.308 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% But, I like our Southern peas, cow peas. A lot of 43:31.408 --> 43:33.777 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% different brand names, everybody calls them 43:33.877 --> 43:37.314 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Dixie Lee peas. That's probably the number one 43:37.414 --> 43:41.518 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% variety of peas that is, everybody asked for Dixie Lee 43:41.619 --> 43:44.722 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Peas. They love their Dixie Lee peas, because it's 43:44.822 --> 43:49.593 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% a small green colored pea that has that 43:49.693 --> 43:52.429 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% brown potlikker. Amanda, you know when you 43:52.529 --> 43:54.965 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% cook them, you get that brown potlikker, which is 43:55.065 --> 43:59.003 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% good to take your corn bread and dip that into and 43:59.103 --> 44:03.807 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% biscuits. Awwe, that's good eating. It sure is good eating. 44:03.907 --> 44:06.877 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So we love our peas in South Carolina. And they love 44:06.977 --> 44:09.880 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% South Carolina in fact. They like the heat. They can take 44:09.980 --> 44:12.750 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the heat. They've been doing well this year. 44:12.850 --> 44:16.320 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% The only thing is we got problems moving in big 44:16.420 --> 44:20.157 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% time and one of them is the Cowpea curculio. 44:20.257 --> 44:22.459 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% And I've got some pictures of it there 44:22.559 --> 44:27.097 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% It is a tough, little rascal. It is a weevil, 44:27.197 --> 44:31.602 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% just similar to a boll weevil. And I've watched and walked 44:31.702 --> 44:34.571 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% up to them in the field and touched them round in the 44:34.672 --> 44:38.108 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% leaves. They'll ball up in a big ball and fall down on the 44:38.208 --> 44:42.479 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% ground. And then you couldn't kill them with two bricks. 44:42.579 --> 44:45.949 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% The only way that we can really get them out 44:46.050 --> 44:48.619 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of the field is keep them out of the field. 44:48.719 --> 44:51.689 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And how farmers and homeowners should do it 44:51.789 --> 44:54.992 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% is take a pyrethroid or permethrin. 44:55.092 --> 44:57.394 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% You can get a organic one or you 44:57.494 --> 45:01.298 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% can get a synthetic and spray the plant before 45:01.398 --> 45:04.968 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the flower. And the way I figured it, 45:05.069 --> 45:07.638 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% it burns their feet and they don't like it. 45:07.738 --> 45:11.341 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% They walk into the field. They never fly. They hardly ever 45:11.442 --> 45:14.344 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% fly. And they walk into the field and it'll burn 45:14.445 --> 45:19.783 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% their toes I reckon. Good heavens. But it bursts your 45:19.883 --> 45:23.253 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% feet. And they don't enter into the field. And then you 45:23.353 --> 45:26.123 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% got to spray them like three times 45:26.223 --> 45:28.892 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% to keep them out of the fields. And then they 45:28.992 --> 45:31.328 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% don't want to go into that field. 45:31.428 --> 45:35.265 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And what they, do they take their 45:35.365 --> 45:40.671 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% ovipositor and lay eggs inside the peas. 45:40.771 --> 45:45.509 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Comes a little maggot again and when I was 45:45.609 --> 45:48.579 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% growing up, my job was when we picked peas and 45:48.679 --> 45:50.614 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% shelled them I had to pick out the 45:50.714 --> 45:54.184 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% ones with the stings on them. That was my job, you know, 45:54.284 --> 45:57.321 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% I just sat around and picked them out. 45:57.421 --> 46:01.258 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% And today people don't want to do that. They want to have nice 46:01.358 --> 46:04.962 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% peas without stings and maggots in em. And so we have to 46:05.062 --> 46:07.664 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% control them. Tony let me ask you 46:07.765 --> 46:10.834 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% though, if a homeowner grows these and a few of 46:10.934 --> 46:13.737 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the peas in the pod have that little dent in it. 46:13.837 --> 46:16.106 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% That little indentation, it's not gonna hurt anything 46:16.206 --> 46:20.210 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% is it? No, it's just got bad thing on the 46:20.310 --> 46:23.647 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% inside of it. Y'all have to have fat back, 46:23.747 --> 46:28.585 align:left position:37.5%,start line:93.33% size:62.5% Amanda. 46:28.685 --> 46:32.055 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% It's very small. They are very small. They're very 46:32.156 --> 46:34.658 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% small. Tony people used to 46:34.758 --> 46:36.960 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% enjoy sitting around on the porch and they have 46:37.060 --> 46:40.998 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% those white enamel pans and they talk, 46:41.098 --> 46:43.333 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% but it took a long time, those Dixie Lee 46:43.433 --> 46:47.571 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% peas to get them shelled. And I think you have done 46:47.671 --> 46:50.607 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% some work in the past to make it a lot easier to 46:50.707 --> 46:54.178 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% have a bowl full and have supper pretty quick. Yeah 46:54.278 --> 46:58.816 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I developed some peas. Colossus is getting a 46:58.916 --> 47:01.819 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% little bit harder to find now. I had a fellow call me 47:01.919 --> 47:04.655 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% the other day wanting to get some Colossus and 47:04.755 --> 47:07.057 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Colossus 80. That's another variety. And then we had 47:07.157 --> 47:09.293 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Hercules. You can still get Hercules pretty good. 47:09.393 --> 47:12.262 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% Clemson purple is really one of my babies. 47:12.362 --> 47:14.865 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I babied that thing all the way through and 47:14.965 --> 47:18.168 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% worked to develop it. And it is a 47:18.268 --> 47:20.771 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pretty purple pea but is a bigger pea. 47:20.871 --> 47:24.441 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% And it will fill that pot a lot faster, Amanda So you don't 47:24.541 --> 47:27.277 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% have to spend quite so much time on it? Yes 47:27.377 --> 47:30.280 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that's right. It's a lot of work shelling peas. 47:30.380 --> 47:34.318 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% I had a many of a sore thumb, Amanda. 47:34.418 --> 47:37.588 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Tony although, really I think August first is 47:37.688 --> 47:40.657 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% about when they might recommend that you get 47:40.757 --> 47:42.926 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% your southern peas planted, you think maybe 47:43.026 --> 47:46.096 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you could get a get some in planting them 47:46.196 --> 47:49.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% a little bit later? Pushing. I like 47:49.666 --> 47:53.036 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% people who I like to push things. I like to push the 47:53.136 --> 47:56.773 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% envelope a little bit. I have had people after 47:56.874 --> 47:59.509 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% August 15th do pretty good on them and plus you 47:59.610 --> 48:03.413 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% can pick them as snaps, Amanda. 48:03.513 --> 48:08.051 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% And actually does work well as snaps. 48:08.151 --> 48:11.421 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And I love snap peas. Snap peas is my favorite. If you 48:11.521 --> 48:14.124 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% get a lot of snaps in there and just be 48:14.224 --> 48:18.896 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% happy that's really, really good. Now, Tony since beans are 48:18.996 --> 48:21.865 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% a legume, you need to remind people they don't need to 48:21.965 --> 48:25.469 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% put fertilizer out for them is that correct? Well, 48:25.569 --> 48:28.906 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% yeah I've changed that a lot. We did put some fertilizer 48:29.006 --> 48:31.975 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% out to get him quicker. Okay. 48:32.075 --> 48:35.545 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% In their early growth stages, you want to 48:35.646 --> 48:39.416 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% get a plant big enough so it has a root system, big 48:39.516 --> 48:42.519 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% enough to put on his own oxygen since it is a legume. 48:42.619 --> 48:46.556 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So, I put some on early. Okay and then when the 48:46.657 --> 48:49.593 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% plant gets big, it takes care of itself, Amanda. 48:49.693 --> 48:52.296 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% All right. Thank you so much for that information, Tony. 48:52.396 --> 48:55.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I really appreciate it. Vicky, 48:55.966 --> 48:58.001 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% Fall is coming in and we all 48:58.101 --> 49:00.304 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% expect that we should have pears on our trees 49:00.404 --> 49:02.506 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and all that kind of stuff. 49:02.606 --> 49:05.142 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% You know or some, that our 49:05.242 --> 49:08.078 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% plants that flower all summer would still be 49:08.178 --> 49:10.547 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% flowering. But sometimes, we don't get flowers or 49:10.647 --> 49:13.050 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% fruits. What are some of the reasons that 49:13.150 --> 49:15.452 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% happens because it sure disappoints people. I'm gonna 49:15.552 --> 49:19.022 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% interrupt for a minute Amanda. I got something 49:19.122 --> 49:22.092 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% here that is a wonderful 49:22.192 --> 49:26.463 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% indication of that. This in this hand is 49:26.563 --> 49:30.100 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% as you see doesn't have any flowers. 49:30.200 --> 49:34.538 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% They look kinda wibbled up. And they're not 49:34.638 --> 49:36.940 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pretty at all and the leaves are all speckled 49:37.040 --> 49:40.911 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% up. But in this hand, there's beautiful flowers. 49:41.011 --> 49:44.614 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% I'll let Vicky tell us all about it. 49:44.715 --> 49:46.984 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% All right. Vicky well let's start with that 49:47.084 --> 49:50.053 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% plant that Tony just showed us please. So you 49:50.153 --> 49:54.591 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% can have flowers that are plants that don't flower and 49:54.691 --> 49:57.661 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% they don't fruit and it could be for a variety of reasons. 49:57.761 --> 49:59.896 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% Could be chemical plant damage, could be 49:59.997 --> 50:03.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% mechanical damage. And in what Tony has that's 50:03.500 --> 50:07.604 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% mechanical damage, caused by an insect infestation. 50:07.704 --> 50:12.109 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So his lantana has an infestation of 50:12.209 --> 50:16.813 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% lantana lace bug. And I have an issue at my 50:16.913 --> 50:20.550 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% house with the lantana being infested with plant 50:20.650 --> 50:25.155 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% hoppers and insects can keep those plants from 50:25.255 --> 50:28.058 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% flowering or they could cause them 50:28.158 --> 50:31.094 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to abort the flowers. There's a whole host of 50:31.194 --> 50:35.932 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% reasons why a plant won't flower a fruit. 50:36.033 --> 50:39.669 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So, in addition to mechanical damage by 50:39.770 --> 50:42.939 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% insects, it could be one of those things where the 50:43.040 --> 50:46.276 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% plant is not in the right place. Maybe there's too 50:46.376 --> 50:50.347 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% much shade or there's too much sun, which could 50:50.447 --> 50:54.017 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% produce if it's in too much 50:54.117 --> 50:57.654 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% sun, it could be drought conditions. It could be 50:57.754 --> 51:00.991 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% sun scorch. And so it's damaging the leaves, 51:01.091 --> 51:05.062 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% damaging the flowers, so that you don't get any 51:05.162 --> 51:08.398 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% fruit later. There could be cold 51:08.498 --> 51:13.437 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% damage, frost damage. We see this a whole lot. 51:13.537 --> 51:17.074 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% It could be improper pruning. You pruned the flowers off 51:17.174 --> 51:19.643 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% by accident because you waited a little bit too 51:19.743 --> 51:22.245 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% late and you thought maybe the plant was messy. 51:22.345 --> 51:25.182 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% You want to go in there and clean it up in 51:25.282 --> 51:27.484 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the winter time. Maybe that wasn't the right 51:27.584 --> 51:30.153 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% time to prune it and ended up pruning off all 51:30.253 --> 51:34.124 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% your flowers. There can be issues with 51:34.224 --> 51:36.893 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% a nutrient imbalance. And one of those that is 51:36.993 --> 51:41.264 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% extremely common is that when folks see their 51:41.364 --> 51:44.367 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% plants not flowering, they think they I should 51:44.468 --> 51:48.638 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% fertilize it. And so they add a whole 51:48.738 --> 51:51.308 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% bunch of nitrogen. And what happens is you get a 51:51.408 --> 51:54.277 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% big flush of growth, so there's lots of pretty 51:54.377 --> 51:58.315 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% green foliage, but it's at the expense of producing 51:58.415 --> 52:01.251 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% flowers. And that's one of 52:01.351 --> 52:05.255 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the most common issues that I see as a home 52:05.355 --> 52:09.092 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% horticulture agent of why homeowners plants don't 52:09.192 --> 52:12.295 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% flower. People get excited. 52:12.395 --> 52:15.732 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% They like to fertilize. Don't they? It's one of 52:15.832 --> 52:19.002 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% those things where in your head 52:19.102 --> 52:21.905 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% if it doesn't seem like the plant is happy you 52:22.005 --> 52:25.175 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% either water or you fertilize it. And you need 52:25.275 --> 52:28.145 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to have a purpose for fertilizing. It needs to 52:28.245 --> 52:31.114 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% be because your soil test told you that there is a 52:31.214 --> 52:33.583 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% nutrient deficiency that you need to correct or 52:33.683 --> 52:36.253 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you want that plant to get bigger. But you have 52:36.353 --> 52:39.523 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to keep in your head that if you add too much nitrogen, 52:39.623 --> 52:42.259 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% you may not get flowers or fruit. 52:42.359 --> 52:44.427 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% We see it a lot with tomatoes. 52:44.528 --> 52:47.464 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Vicky, I love the spireas and forsythias. 52:47.564 --> 52:51.201 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% But if you go out and cut them in the winter time, 52:51.301 --> 52:53.637 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% those flower buds were already there and the new 52:53.737 --> 52:56.673 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% growth won't have time to put it on. So, you kind of 52:56.773 --> 52:59.576 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% need to know if your plant flowers on new or 52:59.676 --> 53:04.014 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% old wood. Don't you? It's handy to know that. 53:04.114 --> 53:06.950 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Clemson has the Home and Garden Information Center 53:07.050 --> 53:10.921 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% has some fact sheets that tell you when these 53:11.021 --> 53:15.192 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% plants are going to bloom. And therefore can help 53:15.292 --> 53:19.162 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you guide you on when to prune so that you're not 53:19.262 --> 53:22.999 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pruning off the flower buds by accident. 53:23.099 --> 53:26.436 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I've always heard that you can put in your azaleas 53:26.536 --> 53:31.041 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% until the fourth of July, 53:31.141 --> 53:34.411 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and they'll have time to set new buds. So, that's I'm 53:34.511 --> 53:36.613 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% always thinking that's kind of a hot time 53:36.713 --> 53:39.849 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to be up working but at any right that's 53:39.950 --> 53:42.619 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% interesting. And we do have good fact sheets 53:42.719 --> 53:44.554 align:left position:37.5%,start line:93.33% size:62.5% at HGIC 53:44.654 --> 53:46.790 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that give a lot of information on that. 53:46.890 --> 53:50.193 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Bruce McLean who's our new blueberry specialist told 53:50.293 --> 53:52.862 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% me that he talked with a gentleman and he had 53:52.963 --> 53:56.900 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% too much rain when his muscadines were 53:57.000 --> 53:59.336 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% developing and that prevented them from but 53:59.436 --> 54:01.104 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% setting fruit, which I thought was pretty 54:01.204 --> 54:03.206 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% interesting too. Tony is that something that 54:03.306 --> 54:06.743 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% you've heard of?
