<Amanda> Well, good
evening, and welcome
01:33.900 --> 01:35.866 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
to Making It Grow.
We're so glad that you can
01:35.866 --> 01:38.200 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
join us tonight.
I'm Amanda McNulty,
01:38.200 --> 01:40.566 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
a Clemson Extension agent,
and I get to come here
01:40.566 --> 01:42.866 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
and be with my co-host
and friend Terasa Lott,
01:42.866 --> 01:44.700 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and Terasa, we learned
so much because we have
01:44.700 --> 01:46.033 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
these great
guests every week.
01:46.033 --> 01:48.033 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
<Terasa> We really do.
It's so much fun,
01:48.033 --> 01:50.800 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
and for me learning, I don't
know, it just gives me
01:50.800 --> 01:52.500 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
this satisfaction,
especially if it's like
01:52.500 --> 01:54.233 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
little tidbits of trivia.
01:54.233 --> 01:56.966 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Amanda> Well, you are
the Master Gardener coordinator,
01:56.966 --> 01:58.866 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
and you now
have a honorary
01:58.866 --> 02:02.533 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
horticulture degree, because
you know so much, Terasa,
02:02.533 --> 02:04.633 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
and I guess part
of that's because, you know,
02:04.633 --> 02:06.233 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
you were working
with agents and all that
02:06.233 --> 02:07.400 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
as the Master
Gardener coordinator,
02:07.400 --> 02:09.566 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
you hear things that
are being talked about?
02:09.566 --> 02:12.133 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Terasa> I certainly
try. I don't know if
02:12.133 --> 02:15.333 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
I am deserving of an
honorary horticulture degree,
02:15.333 --> 02:16.633 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
but always try
to absorb as much
02:16.633 --> 02:17.800 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
information as I can.
02:17.800 --> 02:19.700 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
<Amanda> Well, you
certainly bring a lot
02:19.700 --> 02:21.566 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
of that knowledge
to us right here,
02:21.566 --> 02:24.400 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and Vicky Bertagnolli,
you work with HGIC,
02:24.400 --> 02:25.866 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
but you also still
have some connections
02:25.866 --> 02:28.266 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
with the Aiken
Extension office, I believe.
02:28.266 --> 02:31.966 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
<Vicky> Yep. So I've been with
Extension since 2008,
02:31.966 --> 02:36.100 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
and I've been in the Aiken
extension office since 2010.
02:36.100 --> 02:37.433 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
So, I get to work there
02:37.433 --> 02:38.900 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
and part time for the HGIC.
02:38.900 --> 02:41.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Amanda> Okay, and if
you ever hear of that
02:41.633 --> 02:43.033 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Vicky's going to be
speaking somewhere,
02:43.033 --> 02:45.066 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
you've just got to go
Vicky. You just, it's
02:45.066 --> 02:48.666 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
like she's drinking
- she's had 19 cups of coffee.
02:48.666 --> 02:51.800 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
She's just the most excited
person to be talking,
02:51.800 --> 02:53.300 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
and, I was at
a meeting one time
02:53.300 --> 02:54.800 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
and these people,
it was just these people
02:54.800 --> 02:56.766 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
had to be there,
and they weren't,
02:56.766 --> 02:59.400 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
...they had to be
there to get hours,
02:59.400 --> 03:02.766 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
and they all put
down their books
03:02.766 --> 03:05.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
or their phones and said,
Who is this woman?
03:05.700 --> 03:08.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I'm learning so much and
they were excited about you.
03:08.600 --> 03:11.866 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
<Vicky> I love going, having
a speaking engagement
03:11.866 --> 03:13.866 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
is one of my most favorite
things about this job
03:13.866 --> 03:16.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Amanda> It comes across.
Okay, and Rob Last you are a
03:16.833 --> 03:19.500 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
commercial horticulture
agent, and you used to be
03:19.500 --> 03:21.266 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
down where they grew
lots of watermelons and things,
03:21.266 --> 03:23.766 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
and now you're
in Lexington, and I know
03:23.766 --> 03:26.000 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
they do lots of strawberries
there. What else are
03:26.000 --> 03:27.400 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
you helping people with?
03:27.400 --> 03:29.100 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
<Rob> That's right,
Amanda. We also do a lot
03:29.100 --> 03:31.433 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
of leafy greens. So
right now we're busy
03:31.433 --> 03:33.933 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
transplanting and
planting collards?
03:33.933 --> 03:36.233 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
<Amanda> Oh, of course you do.
Yes. Yes. >> All those sorts
03:36.233 --> 03:38.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
of good things ready, for
ready for Fall Market?
03:38.733 --> 03:42.266 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
<Amanda>...and so do most of
those going to be fresh
03:42.266 --> 03:44.500 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
market or some of them
canned or frozen?
03:44.500 --> 03:45.933 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Or tell me the
extent of the things.
03:45.933 --> 03:47.866 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Rob> That's a really
good question,
03:47.866 --> 03:49.500 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and most of what we grow in
Lexington County
03:49.500 --> 03:51.066 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
is going to be going
for fresh market.
03:51.066 --> 03:52.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Amanda> Okay. Well, I
have a funny story to
03:52.800 --> 03:56.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
tell you. When my mother
felt fatigued, she would
03:56.033 --> 04:00.033 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
say I need some
Lexington County tender greens,
04:00.033 --> 04:02.633 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and um, which is a type of
mustard green, I believe
04:02.633 --> 04:03.833 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
<Rob>
That's correct. Yes.
04:03.833 --> 04:05.466 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
<Amanda>So, she would come home
and cook those up,
04:05.466 --> 04:07.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and she said it was restorative.
So, and they are wonderful
04:07.800 --> 04:09.033 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
for you, aren't they.
04:09.033 --> 04:11.100 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
<Rob> That's it. So I mean,
a lot of the brassicas
04:11.100 --> 04:12.966 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
with the high gluconate
compounds have some
04:12.966 --> 04:17.133 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
anti-carcinogenic
properties, as well.
04:17.133 --> 04:19.533 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Amanda> Well, anyway,
they just made her feel better,
04:19.533 --> 04:21.166 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
gave her a little pep,
04:21.166 --> 04:24.533 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and Mary Vargo, you are now -
Tell me about your new position.
04:24.533 --> 04:26.900 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
<Mary> Yeah, it's a
new transition for me.
04:26.900 --> 04:28.633 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
I'm still with Clemson
just now at the
04:28.633 --> 04:31.933 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
Botanical Garden as the
Extension outreach
04:31.933 --> 04:32.966 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
and garden manager
there, so.
04:32.966 --> 04:35.033 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
<Amanda> - and tell
people where the
04:35.033 --> 04:36.300 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
Botanical Garden is.
Not everybody knows
04:36.300 --> 04:38.300 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
where it is. They don't
know when it's open
04:38.300 --> 04:39.800 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and they don't know
how much it costs.
04:39.800 --> 04:41.833 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
<Mary> Yeah, well, it's free.
It's open to the public.
04:41.833 --> 04:43.733 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
It's right
kind of on that main
04:43.733 --> 04:46.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
road when you're pulling
into Clemson.
04:46.133 --> 04:48.266 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Sometimes people can just pass
by it, but we've got a huge
04:48.266 --> 04:50.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
sign out there that says
South Carolina Botanical
04:50.433 --> 04:53.866 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Garden and there's lots
to see and lots of lots
04:53.866 --> 04:56.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
of spaces to roam and
see really beautiful things.
04:56.766 --> 04:59.400 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
<Amanda> Well, we're glad that
they'll let you come down here.
04:59.400 --> 05:01.966 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
Mary, I think
y'all have a good bit
05:01.966 --> 05:05.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
of parking there for
people, and you don't
05:05.633 --> 05:08.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
have to be worried about
having to back into some
05:08.366 --> 05:09.666 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
tiny little space.
05:09.666 --> 05:11.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Mary> No. There's lots
of parking areas.
05:11.366 --> 05:13.100 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
There's one right when
you pull into the gate
05:13.100 --> 05:15.366 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and then there's one
further down the lane if
05:15.366 --> 05:18.200 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
you go into the desert
garden area,
05:18.200 --> 05:19.766 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
a huge parking spot there.
05:19.766 --> 05:21.366 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
<Amanda> - and we're really
looking forward to,
05:21.366 --> 05:24.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
to visiting you up there.
We can't wait to see you there.
05:24.500 --> 05:25.800 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
It's just a
marvelous resource
05:25.800 --> 05:27.300 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
for South Carolina
with the beautiful
05:27.300 --> 05:29.033 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
South Carolina
Botanical Garden.
05:29.033 --> 05:30.833 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Mary> Definitely. It's
- we got a lot of stuff
05:30.833 --> 05:32.966 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
to show off there.
<Amanda> You sure do.
05:32.966 --> 05:34.400 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
We have some
fun things for you
05:34.400 --> 05:38.500 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
to watch as we get to
little interstitials, tonight.
05:38.500 --> 05:39.933 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
We're going to
the Irmo Middle School,
05:39.933 --> 05:42.833 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
a pollinator garden.
You'll have a grand time there.
05:42.833 --> 05:44.333 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
We certainly did.
Austin Jenkins,
05:44.333 --> 05:46.466 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
a naturalist extraordinaire,
05:46.466 --> 05:49.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
comes to talk to us about
cicadas and the heifer project,
05:49.833 --> 05:52.400 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
which is a look back
at the past
05:52.400 --> 05:56.033 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
because our 30th anniversary
is coming up, has a segment
05:56.033 --> 05:59.200 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
of my trying to lead a
cow, not something that
05:59.200 --> 06:03.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I do every day, and then
that tells you that we
06:03.100 --> 06:07.233 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
are also going to be
at the state fair,
06:07.233 --> 06:10.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
because they have lots of people
showing cows at the State Fair,
06:10.466 --> 06:12.066 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
and October the 18th,
06:12.066 --> 06:14.266 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and we're going to do a show
there. It's going to be
06:14.266 --> 06:16.166 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
in the afternoon, and I
hope that you will come
06:16.166 --> 06:18.833 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and join us we would
love to see you,
06:18.833 --> 06:20.900 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and you can bring a hat if
you want to.
06:20.900 --> 06:24.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
I'll have a hat too.
Please remember that's
06:24.766 --> 06:28.333 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
October the 18th at the South
Carolina State Fair.
06:28.333 --> 06:29.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Well, Terasa, you usually
start us off
06:29.733 --> 06:32.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
with wonderful, beautiful
things. So let's do that.
06:32.666 --> 06:35.200 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Terasa> Yes, that's
our gardens of the week segment,
06:35.200 --> 06:38.266 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
and it's the
time when you can show off
06:38.266 --> 06:39.733 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
what you're doing in
your yard, your garden
06:39.733 --> 06:42.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
or maybe you've captured
one of South Carolina's
06:42.333 --> 06:45.433 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
beautiful places.
Today we begin
06:45.433 --> 06:48.333 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
with Jane Lagrone who's in
Clemson and she shared
06:48.333 --> 06:50.933 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
an assortment of brightly
colored zinnias
06:50.933 --> 06:55.166 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
from her neighbor's garden,
Nancy Tompkins, and she said
06:55.166 --> 06:58.666 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
that Nancy always is
nice to share her flowers,
06:58.666 --> 07:00.100 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
and I believe
that Jane helps to take
07:00.100 --> 07:03.933 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
care of them when Nancy
goes away.
07:03.933 --> 07:06.066 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
So, what a nice relationship.
07:06.066 --> 07:08.200 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
Laura Doctor
in North Myrtle Beach
07:08.200 --> 07:10.666 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
shared double
purple datura flowers
07:10.666 --> 07:12.700 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
and one of the common
names for this plant is
07:12.700 --> 07:15.233 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
Devil's trumpet.
07:15.233 --> 07:18.133 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
<Amanda> - and it makes a
loud noise if it's double.
07:18.133 --> 07:19.866 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
(laughs)
07:19.866 --> 07:23.500 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
<Terasa> Sharon
Schrader shared that's
07:23.500 --> 07:26.300 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
three S's in a row,
Sharon Schrader shared
07:26.300 --> 07:28.600 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
a landscaped area that
combines in the ground
07:28.600 --> 07:30.600 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
plantings with
containers, and I love
07:30.600 --> 07:33.100 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
that she has two little
trucks in there that
07:33.100 --> 07:36.166 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
she used as decorative
accents.
07:36.166 --> 07:41.066 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
From Ann Barber, a plate bearing
pickled peppers that she reports
07:41.066 --> 07:43.300 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
to have grown herself in
the garden
07:43.300 --> 07:45.366 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
<Amanda> Plate of
pickled peppers.
07:45.366 --> 07:47.000 align:left position:37.5% line:5% size:52.5%
(laughing)
07:47.000 --> 07:50.733 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
<Terasa> and we wrap up
today with Marilyn Boggs,
07:50.733 --> 07:53.133 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
who shared one of
the swallowtail butterflies,
07:53.133 --> 07:55.200 align:left position:37.5% line:5% size:52.5%
and in this
picture, you can really see
07:55.200 --> 07:57.133 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
the projections on
the hind wings,
07:57.133 --> 08:00.233 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
which gives it the name
swallowtail.
08:00.233 --> 08:03.933 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
So thank you to everyone that
shared photos with us.
08:03.933 --> 08:06.066 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
I received them in a
multitude of ways.
08:06.066 --> 08:07.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
You can post them on our
Facebook page,
08:07.833 --> 08:11.066 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
share them in Messenger, send
them to me in email,
08:11.066 --> 08:14.466 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and then a random assortment
gets to make it on the show.
08:14.466 --> 08:16.100 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Amanda> but people can
go to the Facebook page
08:16.100 --> 08:18.100 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
and see all of them there,
08:18.100 --> 08:19.300 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
and they're just beautiful.
08:19.300 --> 08:21.166 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Terasa> They really
are, and each one is
08:21.166 --> 08:23.300 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
unique in its own way.
08:23.300 --> 08:26.333 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Amanda> Terasa, people
also ask questions,
08:26.333 --> 08:28.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
sometimes they put those
on Facebook or get them
08:28.300 --> 08:30.400 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
to people in various
ways, and then sometimes
08:30.400 --> 08:33.233 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
our guests have
questions that they'd gotten.
08:33.233 --> 08:35.866 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
What should we
start with tonight?
08:35.866 --> 08:40.066 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Terasa> We're going to
start with a unusual looking,
08:40.066 --> 08:42.366 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
we'll say
feature on a fern,
08:42.366 --> 08:45.866 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and sometimes the questions
come in just as pictures,
08:45.866 --> 08:47.600 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
and we don't
always know what the
08:47.600 --> 08:49.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
question is, and this
one was like that.
08:49.633 --> 08:52.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
So it was just kind of a
picture, and you know,
08:52.200 --> 08:54.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
we assume if there was a
question, it would be
08:54.500 --> 08:58.033 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
what are these odd
looking ball shapes
08:58.033 --> 08:59.200 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
on this fern?
08:59.200 --> 09:01.400 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
<Amanda> Oh, good
assumption, Terasa.
09:01.400 --> 09:04.833 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Well Vicky, do you have any
idea what's going on?
09:04.833 --> 09:08.633 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
<Vicky> So, Pat is one of our
friends in Laurens County,
09:08.633 --> 09:10.333 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
and she sends
lots and lots of pictures,
09:10.333 --> 09:12.500 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
and this is
one of those things
09:12.500 --> 09:14.366 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
where she'll send a
picture and she doesn't
09:14.366 --> 09:16.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
always ask what it is,
but I know what
09:16.800 --> 09:19.233 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
she's wanting to know what it
is, and this is really cool.
09:19.233 --> 09:24.200 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
So this is called
a fern leaftier,
09:24.200 --> 09:29.266 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
and it's a caterpillar, and
this particular caterpillar
09:29.266 --> 09:33.300 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
will take. So, we've got a
leaf, we've got a frond
09:33.300 --> 09:35.300 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
and it'll take
those leaflets and fold
09:35.300 --> 09:38.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
the tips of the leaflets,
and it ties it
09:38.966 --> 09:40.900 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
together with a little
piece of silk,
09:40.900 --> 09:43.966 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and it makes a little
it makes a little ball.
09:43.966 --> 09:46.700 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
It's a little domicile
for this caterpillar,
09:46.700 --> 09:51.166 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and it'll live inside there,
and it'll make sometimes
09:51.166 --> 09:53.600 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
it'll make two or three
of them real close together
09:53.600 --> 09:54.800 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
and as it
grows, it'll
09:54.800 --> 09:57.700 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
move into another one of these
little fern balls
09:57.700 --> 10:01.266 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and it's in there doing
its thing.
10:01.266 --> 10:04.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It's eating some of the foliage.
<Amanda> Yes.
10:04.033 --> 10:07.266 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
>> and it's going to be
deprecating inside there too.
10:07.266 --> 10:09.700 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and what they <Amanda> - a
reason to move it at some point.
10:09.700 --> 10:11.400 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
<Vicky> What scientists think
that is happening
10:11.400 --> 10:12.633 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
is that
they're using that frass
10:12.633 --> 10:17.400 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
as a, not just using
the dome itself,
10:17.400 --> 10:21.500 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
the ball itself as
protection from a predator,
10:21.500 --> 10:23.233 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
but they're
also using the frass
10:23.233 --> 10:27.433 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
in there to deter predators
also. <Amanda> Wow.
10:27.433 --> 10:31.466 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
<Vicky> and so there's three
different species of this
10:31.466 --> 10:33.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
caterpillar that will do
this, but they're all in
10:33.633 --> 10:36.433 align:left position:32.5% line:59% size:57.5%
the same genus.
It's Herpetogramma,
10:36.433 --> 10:38.666 align:left position:25% line:59% size:65%
is what the genus is,
10:38.666 --> 10:40.700 align:left position:32.5% line:59% size:57.5%
and one of the
cool things is, is when
10:40.700 --> 10:44.400 align:left position:22.5% line:59% size:67.5%
this caterpillar moves
out, and it's done with
10:44.400 --> 10:47.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
these little fern balls,
spiders will move in
10:47.733 --> 10:49.133 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
and use it as a little house.
10:49.133 --> 10:50.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Amanda> Isn't that just
the most charming thing
10:50.600 --> 10:55.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
you've ever heard? Well,
does the moth lay
10:55.133 --> 10:57.566 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
the eggs on ferns?
<Vicky> So, it's going to
10:57.566 --> 11:00.533 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
lay it on the
fern and then that egg
11:00.533 --> 11:02.266 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
is going to hatch
and then that caterpillar
11:02.266 --> 11:03.433 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
is going to start...
11:03.433 --> 11:05.800 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
<Amanda> - making different
sized little...
11:05.800 --> 11:10.666 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
>> Right, and it's
specific to fern.
11:10.666 --> 11:16.066 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
So, this caterpillar is not
going to go lay on a canna leaf
11:16.066 --> 11:18.200 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
or in an oak tree or
anything like that.
11:18.200 --> 11:19.900 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
These are specific to ferns,
11:19.900 --> 11:21.333 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
<Amanda>
The relationships between
11:21.333 --> 11:23.933 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
plants and animals in
the environment
11:23.933 --> 11:26.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
is fascinating, isn't it?
<Vicky> Yep.
11:26.133 --> 11:28.100 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Amanda> That is just
too cool for school.
11:28.100 --> 11:29.500 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
Thank you so very, very much.
11:29.500 --> 11:31.000 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Terasa, that's going to
be hard to top.
11:31.000 --> 11:32.266 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
(laughs)
11:32.266 --> 11:33.633 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
<Terasa>
It really is,
11:33.633 --> 11:37.266 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
but Linda sent
a question to us and she
11:37.266 --> 11:39.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
didn't tell me where she
was from, but Linda is
11:39.433 --> 11:42.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
curious. She says, "Is it
true that there's an
11:42.800 --> 11:47.533 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
insect that lays eggs
inside muscadines?
11:47.533 --> 11:49.133 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
<Amanda>
Whoa! Well...
11:49.133 --> 11:50.866 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
if it...if there
was something in there,
11:50.866 --> 11:52.100 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
I don't know
if you've noticed
11:52.100 --> 11:53.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
because of the seeds that
you're going to have
11:53.866 --> 11:55.966 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
to spit out at some point.
11:55.966 --> 11:57.366 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
Rob, what do you think?
11:57.366 --> 11:59.600 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Rob> That sounds like
it may be a spotted wing
11:59.600 --> 12:03.500 align:left position:22.5% line:59% size:67.5%
drosophila, and that's
an invasive fruit fly.
12:03.500 --> 12:06.133 align:left position:27.5% line:59% size:62.5%
It's one of the few
- it's the only fruit fly that
12:06.133 --> 12:08.133 align:left position:30% line:59% size:60%
we have in South
Carolina that will
12:08.133 --> 12:11.800 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
actually feed and lay
its eggs in ripe fruit.
12:11.800 --> 12:14.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Most of our fruit flies
will actually go after
12:14.366 --> 12:16.600 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
rot, overripe
or rotting fruit.
12:16.600 --> 12:18.833 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
<Amanda> I have a
compost bucket sitting
12:18.833 --> 12:20.900 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
on the counter, and I
have to keep a
12:20.900 --> 12:23.266 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
napkin over it, because
it's got all those darn
12:23.266 --> 12:24.433 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
fruit flies on it.
12:24.433 --> 12:28.300 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
<Rob> Yeah, and it's often
that those aromas from
12:28.300 --> 12:30.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
the fermentation process
have been overripe that
12:30.633 --> 12:31.833 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
will attract the fruit
flies,
12:31.833 --> 12:34.833 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Amanda> but this one
goes to real fruits.
12:34.833 --> 12:36.100 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
Tell me what's going on.
12:36.100 --> 12:38.766 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
<Rob> That's correct. Yeah,
they feed on a wide range of
12:38.766 --> 12:40.933 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
soft fruit. Oh, that
will be strawberries,
12:40.933 --> 12:42.200 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
blueberries,
blackberries,
12:42.200 --> 12:46.600 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
raspberries, grapes,
even to even peaches and plums,
12:46.600 --> 12:50.633 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
and what you'll
find with these insects,
12:50.633 --> 12:53.300 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
is that the
female has kind of soft shaped
12:53.300 --> 12:54.900 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
ovipositor
and it will pierce
12:54.900 --> 12:57.700 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
the skin of the
fruit, laying...
12:57.700 --> 13:00.666 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
1 to 3 eggs inside the
fruit, which will then
13:00.666 --> 13:03.633 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
develop and create,
you'll find it almost
13:03.633 --> 13:07.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
a sunken type lesion, and
a needle prick,
13:07.000 --> 13:08.400 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and that's usually
characteristic of it
13:08.400 --> 13:10.000 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
been spotted wing
drosophila,
13:10.000 --> 13:11.866 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
<Amanda> How much
damage do they do to the
13:11.866 --> 13:13.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
people who are growing
these fruits?
13:13.433 --> 13:16.133 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
<Rob> Commercially,
they're really big problem,
13:16.133 --> 13:17.600 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
because you
don't know the larvae is
13:17.600 --> 13:20.433 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
in there until you've actually
harvested the fruit,
13:20.433 --> 13:23.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
or unfortunately, the
consumer actually
13:23.766 --> 13:26.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
gets the fruit and finds
the larvae in there.
13:26.400 --> 13:28.900 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
There are things that we do
commercially regarding
13:28.900 --> 13:31.700 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
temperature control. We
can actually halt
13:31.700 --> 13:34.300 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
the lifecycle of the larvae
13:34.300 --> 13:37.866 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
by keeping the temperature
really well regulated.
13:37.866 --> 13:41.166 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
So about the temperature of a
domestic fridge. <Amanda> Okay.
13:41.166 --> 13:44.200 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
So if I
got a bunch
13:44.200 --> 13:45.833 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
of strawberries or
something and one was
13:45.833 --> 13:48.266 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
in there, would I even
notice it?
13:48.266 --> 13:50.233 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
<Rob> You may not. You may not
<Amanda> I may not,
13:50.233 --> 13:53.400 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
I know because they're kind of
small. <Rob> They really are.
13:53.400 --> 13:55.933 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
They're also not going
to do you any harm if you
13:55.933 --> 13:57.233 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
do happen to ingest them.
13:57.233 --> 13:58.400 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
<Amanda> Yeah. Yeah.
13:58.400 --> 13:59.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Mary> I heard on a farm
one time
13:59.833 --> 14:02.133 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
that they use pheromone
ties to kind of distract
14:02.133 --> 14:03.300 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
some of the flies.
14:03.300 --> 14:05.066 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Is that something that some of
your growers ever use?
14:05.066 --> 14:06.500 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Rob> Absolutely, yeah,
we certainly use
14:06.500 --> 14:10.233 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
pheromone traps. <Amanda> Tell
people what pheromones are.
14:10.233 --> 14:12.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Rob> Pheromones are sex
hormones that are released
14:12.066 --> 14:14.000 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
by the males or
females to attract the
14:14.000 --> 14:16.600 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
mate for the insect to
actually allow them to
14:16.600 --> 14:18.433 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
breed and fly away.
14:18.433 --> 14:20.633 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
<Amanda> ...like an insect
specific perfume or aftershave.
14:20.633 --> 14:23.900 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
<Rob> Yeah, exactly. There has
been some work been done
14:23.900 --> 14:26.466 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
by North Carolina State
University to actually
14:26.466 --> 14:32.166 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
try and breed gent
creates sterile, sterile
14:32.166 --> 14:36.733 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
females so that way we can
maintain the population
14:36.733 --> 14:38.733 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
from a homeowner
perspective and a lot of
14:38.733 --> 14:40.700 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
my commercial growers
will also do this,
14:40.700 --> 14:43.533 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
they'll set out either
red wine vinegar traps,
14:43.533 --> 14:45.500 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
so we can actually
monitor the population
14:45.500 --> 14:47.933 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and time an insecticide
applications that we're
14:47.933 --> 14:49.933 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
going to make to
actually when we've got
14:49.933 --> 14:51.166 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
the adults there.
14:51.166 --> 14:54.066 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Amanda> Okay, well,
that was just fascinating.
14:54.066 --> 14:55.333 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
My goodness gracious,
14:55.333 --> 14:57.033 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
but I'm not going to worry
about it because
14:57.033 --> 14:59.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
it's just so little it's
really inconspicuous. Okay.
14:59.333 --> 15:01.500 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
<Terasa> To think of all the
fruits, muscadines
15:01.500 --> 15:05.633 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
would be least susceptible.
Yeah, I was reading
15:05.633 --> 15:09.266 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
something that there is
a kind of a threshold by
15:09.266 --> 15:13.366 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
which that the female
can't puncture that skin.
15:13.366 --> 15:14.533 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
So your softer
fruits, I think
15:14.533 --> 15:18.500 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
blueberries are especially
prone to that attack.
15:18.500 --> 15:22.100 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Amanda> Okay, thanks
so much. Well,
15:22.100 --> 15:24.200 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
who else needs
to know something?
15:24.200 --> 15:26.600 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Terasa> Ann, who also
happened to be from
15:26.600 --> 15:28.966 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Laurens County, which
was from where Pat was
15:28.966 --> 15:31.866 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
from? She sent us a photograph.
15:31.866 --> 15:33.033 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
This one came in on Facebook.
15:33.033 --> 15:34.900 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
<Amanda> Did this one have
a question with it?
15:34.900 --> 15:37.033 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
<Terasa> It did. (all laugh)
Yes, we didn't
15:37.033 --> 15:39.533 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
have to interpret.
She said this
15:39.533 --> 15:41.733 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
plant her zinnia was
beautiful until
15:41.733 --> 15:43.533 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
recently, and then it
seemed to happen within
15:43.533 --> 15:46.266 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
a week. Can you tell me
what this is and how to
15:46.266 --> 15:47.366 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
treat it?
15:47.366 --> 15:52.566 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
<Amanda> Ah! Well,
Mary, I have zinnias
15:52.566 --> 15:55.366 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and mine don't look
as good as hers.
15:55.366 --> 15:57.000 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
I hadn't been worried
about it,
15:57.000 --> 15:58.333 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
but tell us your advice.
15:58.333 --> 15:59.800 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Mary> Zinnias at the
end of the season,
15:59.800 --> 16:01.333 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
they can tend
to look like this.
16:01.333 --> 16:04.000 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
That's a general kind of leaf
spot. Zinnias get several
16:04.000 --> 16:05.733 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
different leaf spot
caused by either
16:05.733 --> 16:08.966 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
a fungal pathogen or a
bacterial pathogen.
16:08.966 --> 16:11.100 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
This one in particular looks
like a fungal pathogen.
16:11.100 --> 16:14.033 align:left position:20% line:59% size:70%
I think it is cercospora
leaf spot. It's kind of
16:14.033 --> 16:15.900 align:left position:22.5% line:59% size:67.5%
characteristic to what
we usually see with
16:15.900 --> 16:18.533 align:left position:20% line:59% size:70%
those symptoms. Usually,
that center of the leaf
16:18.533 --> 16:20.466 align:left position:25% line:59% size:65%
spot is almost white
or gray in color.
16:20.466 --> 16:22.200 align:left position:17.5% line:59% size:72.5%
<Amanda> Well, does it make
any difference,
16:22.200 --> 16:24.000 align:left position:15% line:59% size:75%
what's causing the leaf spot?
Do I need to
16:24.000 --> 16:25.166 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
worry about or do anything?
16:25.166 --> 16:28.100 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
<Mary> Yeah, so
some of these leaf
16:28.100 --> 16:30.233 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
spots can be seed born.
So if they're receding
16:30.233 --> 16:34.566 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
in that area, you might
want to maybe get fresh seed,
16:34.566 --> 16:36.466 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
but for the most
part, it's just
16:36.466 --> 16:39.333 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
cosmetic damage. There
are things you can do,
16:39.333 --> 16:41.333 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
like make sure you're
not overhead, watering,
16:41.333 --> 16:44.000 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
splashing any of those
fungal spores everywhere,
16:44.000 --> 16:46.066 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
but for the most part,
at the end of the season,
16:46.066 --> 16:48.200 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
zinnias tend
to sort of look like this,
16:48.200 --> 16:49.466 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
but the main thing
is just
16:49.466 --> 16:52.466 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
making sure you planted them in
the right spot, and you're
16:52.466 --> 16:54.766 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
avoiding overhead
watering or splashing
16:54.766 --> 16:57.866 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
any of those spores
around. So there are some...
16:57.866 --> 17:00.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
<Amanda>- but don't go out there
and stand with an umbrella
17:00.466 --> 17:01.600 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
over them. It does rain
sometimes.
17:01.600 --> 17:03.833 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Mary> No. Yeah, maybe
try a fresh batch,
17:03.833 --> 17:05.866 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
and then next
year, remove all
17:05.866 --> 17:08.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
that foliage just so you
don't have any,
17:08.400 --> 17:09.766 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
inoculum into
the next growing season.
17:09.766 --> 17:11.200 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
<Amanda> All right,
well, thank you so much.
17:11.200 --> 17:14.200 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
So I love it when it's
something just,
17:14.200 --> 17:16.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
you know, turn your back
and do something.
17:16.900 --> 17:19.133 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Mary> Exactly, yeah.
<Amanda> All right. Thank you.
17:19.133 --> 17:21.800 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
<Amanda> We went
to the Irmo Middle School
17:21.800 --> 17:23.333 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
and they have a
pollinator garden,
17:23.333 --> 17:25.966 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and the way they've in
it interspersed it
17:25.966 --> 17:27.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
with things for the children
to learn,
17:27.966 --> 17:30.066 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
is just fascinating.
We had a great day,
17:30.066 --> 17:31.800 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%

>> This is a
brochure that students
17:40.666 --> 17:44.066 align:left position:12.5% line:59% size:77.5%
have put together to talk about
the monarch butterflies.
17:44.066 --> 17:46.533 align:left position:17.5% line:59% size:72.5%
>> The monarch butterflies
are very crucial for our
17:46.533 --> 17:49.833 align:left position:32.5% line:59% size:57.5%
environment and
ecosystem, and there are
17:49.833 --> 17:53.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
over 150 crops in the US
that are going to be
17:53.966 --> 17:56.533 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
necessary for pollination.
17:56.533 --> 17:57.900 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
It's what the monarchs do.
17:57.900 --> 18:01.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
<Jermainee>and without our crops
been, we might not survive.
18:01.800 --> 18:04.500 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
So it's good that monarchs are
pollinating our crops.
18:04.500 --> 18:06.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
>> In the beginning of the year,
we learned that
18:06.300 --> 18:09.266 align:left position:32.5% line:59% size:57.5%
the butterflies
come from Canada,
18:09.266 --> 18:12.433 align:left position:20% line:59% size:70%
down through the US into
Mexico, and they just
18:12.433 --> 18:16.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
they stay there through
the winter, and just go
18:16.366 --> 18:18.933 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
back when they're ready
after winter.
18:18.933 --> 18:21.800 align:left position:22.5% line:59% size:67.5%
>> Throughout the year,
we tag monarch butterflies.
18:21.800 --> 18:23.566 align:left position:20% line:59% size:70%
First we capture them in
the garden, and we tag
18:23.566 --> 18:28.400 align:left position:25% line:59% size:65%
them carefully on the
wings with these marking tags.
18:28.400 --> 18:31.233 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
This - the tags are
not harmful at all.
18:31.233 --> 18:32.533 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
They go carefully on the wing
18:32.533 --> 18:33.733 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
and we capture them
18:33.733 --> 18:35.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
to make sure that we can
see if any of our monarchs
18:35.933 --> 18:37.266 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
that we find
within the garden
18:37.266 --> 18:39.100 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
are recovered in Mexico.
18:39.100 --> 18:41.900 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
<Rey Brooks>...and in order
for those monarchs to have
18:41.900 --> 18:44.900 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
a stable and normal
migration process,
18:44.900 --> 18:47.066 align:left position:20% line:59% size:70%
they have to have certain
kinds of milkweed.
18:47.066 --> 18:49.300 align:left position:25% line:59% size:65%
So whenever they come
through South Carolina,
18:49.300 --> 18:51.666 align:left position:22.5% line:59% size:67.5%
there are three native
species of milkweed,
18:51.666 --> 18:55.333 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
we have Asclepias incarnata,
also known as swamp milkweed,
18:55.333 --> 18:58.333 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
You have
Tuberosa, also known
18:58.333 --> 19:01.266 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
as butterfly milkweed,
and there's syriaca,
19:01.266 --> 19:02.933 align:left position:37.5% line:5% size:52.5%
also known
as common milkweed.
19:02.933 --> 19:05.500 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
<Jermainee>...but unfortunately,
monarchs are endangered
19:05.500 --> 19:08.233 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
or are declining for a
variety of reasons.
19:08.233 --> 19:11.033 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
<Ashley> So basically, the
milkweed supply
19:11.033 --> 19:13.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
is just running low, and without
those plants,
19:13.300 --> 19:16.166 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
they are the only like resource
for the monarchs to be
19:16.166 --> 19:18.866 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
able to lay their eggs,
which means without
19:18.866 --> 19:21.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
the milkweed plants, then
they won't be able
19:21.100 --> 19:23.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
to keep reproducing, and
are going to leave our
19:23.800 --> 19:26.800 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
plants just unpollinated.
19:26.800 --> 19:28.466 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
<Jermainee> but there are ways
that you can help
19:28.466 --> 19:30.933 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
with the monarchs.
You can plant milkweed,
19:30.933 --> 19:32.833 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
which is their host plant,
as you know.
19:34.500 --> 19:36.066 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Amanda> I'm at Irmo
Middle School
19:36.066 --> 19:38.066 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and I'm speaking with Will
Green, who's a seventh
19:38.066 --> 19:40.933 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
grade science teacher,
you have my condolences
19:40.933 --> 19:43.566 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and congratulations for
being able to do that.
19:43.566 --> 19:46.733 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
>> Thank you. I appreciate that.
We need those for sure.
19:46.733 --> 19:48.233 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
<Amanda> and we're
sitting in front of a
19:48.233 --> 19:52.066 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
pollinator garden, and
you got the idea to put
19:52.066 --> 19:56.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
this in, I imagine based
on the fact that
19:56.266 --> 19:58.433 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
the monarch butterflies need
our support.
19:58.433 --> 19:59.666 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
<Will> That's
right. All pollinators
19:59.666 --> 20:01.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
need our support, but we
were especially
20:01.166 --> 20:03.566 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
interested in having a
garden that
20:03.566 --> 20:07.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
featured milkweed, which
is a monarch's host plant,
20:07.100 --> 20:08.733 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
and then we also
have some other things
20:08.733 --> 20:10.400 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
in the garden, but the
main focus is
20:10.400 --> 20:13.666 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
three species of native
milkweed that we have
20:13.666 --> 20:15.000 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
in this garden,
specifically designed
20:15.000 --> 20:16.800 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
for the monarchs, but
again,
20:16.800 --> 20:18.866 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
pollinators in general,
visit the garden.
20:18.866 --> 20:20.833 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Amanda> I know that's
a lovely thing to do,
20:20.833 --> 20:23.700 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
to support the ecology
20:23.700 --> 20:25.666 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
of the world of
North and South America,
20:25.666 --> 20:29.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
but I've enjoyed talking
with some of your students,
20:29.233 --> 20:31.666 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
and learning
about how each one has a
20:31.666 --> 20:34.100 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
different reason that
this garden is so
20:34.100 --> 20:35.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
interesting to them, and
what makes them want
20:35.966 --> 20:37.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
to come and work with it.
So can you talk
20:37.833 --> 20:40.033 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
about some of the spin offs,
I think that
20:40.033 --> 20:42.366 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
is the surprising thing you
told me that happened as well?
20:42.366 --> 20:44.866 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
<Will> Right. So
this, the garden is one
20:44.866 --> 20:47.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
part of the overall work
that we do.
20:47.933 --> 20:50.300 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
It's all intended to
give the kids a chance
20:50.300 --> 20:52.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
to take action to become
passionate about
20:52.433 --> 20:54.833 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
something and to
take action on some,
20:54.833 --> 20:57.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
some real issues that,
you know, that they can
20:57.433 --> 20:59.733 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
become just
interested in
20:59.733 --> 21:02.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and learn more about, and
it's cool for the kids,
21:02.333 --> 21:04.166 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
because sometimes I'm
learning right alongside
21:04.166 --> 21:06.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
them and, and they get a
chance to plug into the
21:06.100 --> 21:08.733 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
work in lots of
different ways.
21:08.733 --> 21:13.766 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Some of them love the idea and
the action of coming
21:13.766 --> 21:16.033 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
out and catching
butterflies catching
21:16.033 --> 21:17.833 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
monarchs in the garden
and tagging them,
21:17.833 --> 21:18.933 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
<Amanda>
- and when they tag them,
21:18.933 --> 21:20.433 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
that was very peculiar.
21:20.433 --> 21:22.300 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
It's kind of like putting a
sticker on a banana.
21:22.300 --> 21:23.500 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
Tell me about that.
21:23.500 --> 21:24.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Will> That's right. The
technology has changed
21:24.900 --> 21:27.033 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
over the years, it used
to be just some adhesive
21:27.033 --> 21:29.466 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
you put on a piece of
paper and stick it on the wing,
21:29.466 --> 21:31.066 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
and now the
technology has led us
21:31.066 --> 21:32.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
to a sticker that similar
to something you would
21:32.733 --> 21:35.033 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
find on produce at the
grocery store,
21:35.033 --> 21:38.500 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and it has a little unique
code and a website that
21:38.500 --> 21:41.333 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
people can go to, and
the idea is that we find
21:41.333 --> 21:43.666 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
out where our monarchs,
monarchs that are
21:43.666 --> 21:47.633 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
on the east coast, where they
migrate to,
21:47.633 --> 21:49.866 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
because they don't all migrate
to Mexico, like the ones
21:49.866 --> 21:51.700 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
in the Midwest that funnel
down through
21:51.700 --> 21:54.300 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Mexico and into the
mountains of Mexico.
21:54.300 --> 21:56.400 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
So, the idea is that
maybe we can, you know,
21:56.400 --> 21:58.500 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
figure out where our
monarchs are heading to.
21:58.500 --> 22:02.066 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Amanda>...and monarchs
leave Mexico,
22:02.066 --> 22:04.600 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
that's where they spend their
winter, and they come up,
22:04.600 --> 22:06.433 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
and you see a few
sometimes on that upward
22:06.433 --> 22:10.133 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
migration, but the
majority of the ones you see,
22:10.133 --> 22:12.933 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
are coming down in
August, I believe.
22:12.933 --> 22:14.900 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
<Will> Yeah, that's right. So,
you know, as they migrate,
22:14.900 --> 22:17.200 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
there's different
generations, you know,
22:17.200 --> 22:19.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
four, some even believe,
maybe five generations
22:19.533 --> 22:22.133 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
in between and,
there's a super organism
22:22.133 --> 22:25.466 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
that is genetically
different than the others.
22:25.466 --> 22:27.000 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
There's the one
that migrates to Mexico
22:27.000 --> 22:30.533 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and roosts over winter
and then migrates back,
22:30.533 --> 22:33.533 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
but we see the majority
of our monarchs around
22:33.533 --> 22:36.800 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
the late August,
September
22:36.800 --> 22:39.033 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
beginning of October time, and
that's when we do our tagging,
22:39.033 --> 22:40.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
<Amanda> That's perfect, because
that's when the kids are
22:40.766 --> 22:42.766 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
back in school. <Will> That's
exactly right. So we hit
22:42.766 --> 22:45.066 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
the ground running at
the beginning of the year,
22:45.066 --> 22:47.100 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
and we introduce
them to this issue
22:47.100 --> 22:49.333 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
of pollinators in general,
but monarchs
22:49.333 --> 22:51.566 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
specifically, and the
decline in their numbers
22:51.566 --> 22:53.766 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
and why that's
happening, and so the
22:53.766 --> 22:56.400 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
kids right off the bat,
just get really deep
22:56.400 --> 22:59.066 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
into understanding why
this work is important.
22:59.066 --> 23:01.500 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and that they are going
to, you know, become a part
23:01.500 --> 23:03.266 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
of it, and then
have a chance to take action.
23:03.266 --> 23:06.266 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
We have had, you
know, kids go to the
23:06.266 --> 23:09.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Irmo Town Council and to
present to them to ask
23:09.266 --> 23:12.200 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
for their support, and
partner with us
23:12.200 --> 23:14.866 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
to get milkweed out into the
community, specifically
23:14.866 --> 23:20.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
to see the parks and the
gardens in the town of Irmo.
23:20.633 --> 23:22.066 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
We've had kids
that, you know, they
23:22.066 --> 23:24.966 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
take part in terms of,
you know, art projects,
23:24.966 --> 23:28.200 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
<Amanda> Your signs are just
great. <Will> Exactly,
23:28.200 --> 23:30.100 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
and to make
the signs, you know,
23:30.100 --> 23:31.600 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
that spread awareness,
because that's one
23:31.600 --> 23:35.366 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
of our ultimate goals, is to
spread awareness of the issue.
23:35.366 --> 23:37.233 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
You know, the
signs take a student
23:37.233 --> 23:41.166 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
that's gifted in the
arts and, being artistic,
23:41.166 --> 23:43.300 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
and it takes a
kid that, that, you know,
23:43.300 --> 23:45.333 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
is good at research and
processing information
23:45.333 --> 23:47.400 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
and putting
it in words that are theirs,
23:47.400 --> 23:48.700 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
but also, you
know, it explains
23:48.700 --> 23:52.000 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and educates the public with
whatever topic they want
23:52.000 --> 23:54.500 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
to educate them about. So,
we're proud of our signs
23:54.500 --> 23:56.066 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
and the fact that
students created them.
23:56.066 --> 23:57.666 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Amanda> - but in your
greenhouse, y'all have
23:57.666 --> 24:00.866 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
a program where you raised
bedding plants,
24:00.866 --> 24:03.333 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and also the milkweed, and
make them available
24:03.333 --> 24:05.500 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
to the public at some time,
and I believe
24:05.500 --> 24:07.233 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
a lot of the children really
like greenhouse work.
24:07.233 --> 24:08.666 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
<Will> That's
right, they do,
24:08.666 --> 24:10.633 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
and you know, we have students
in there that have
24:10.633 --> 24:12.733 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
never put their hands in soil
before, and so they
24:12.733 --> 24:15.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
are really excited to be
able to do that
24:15.033 --> 24:17.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and learn the process of
planting seeds
24:17.133 --> 24:19.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and transplanting and we
teach them how to root
24:19.733 --> 24:23.300 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
different things. Our
science fair projects
24:23.300 --> 24:25.300 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
actually have come from
work that we do
24:25.300 --> 24:27.533 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
in the greenhouse, and we get
this real relevant
24:27.533 --> 24:30.333 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
scientific data that we
can actually use and put
24:30.333 --> 24:33.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
into practice, you know,
with our work the next year.
24:33.333 --> 24:35.866 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
So it's good
stuff, and we realized that,
24:35.866 --> 24:37.566 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
you know, our
efforts to get milkweed
24:37.566 --> 24:39.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
into the community is,
you know, that's the
24:39.766 --> 24:41.800 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
primary focus of the
greenhouse, but we also
24:41.800 --> 24:44.400 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
raise other plants as
well and they are
24:44.400 --> 24:46.733 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
able to plant some
vegetables in the raised
24:46.733 --> 24:48.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
beds that we have and
some of them you know,
24:48.633 --> 24:51.133 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
get to harvest the
vegetables and take them home.
24:51.133 --> 24:53.666 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
So, there's a lot of things
to do for a lot of students.
24:53.666 --> 24:55.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Amanda> - and one of the
things that's fun
24:55.666 --> 24:58.000 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
is of course, you've got the
Gulf Fritillary,
24:58.000 --> 24:59.966 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
and so they learn about mimicry
and some other
24:59.966 --> 25:01.666 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
scientific principles.
25:01.666 --> 25:03.133 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Will> That's right.
Yeah. So, passion vine
25:03.133 --> 25:04.966 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
sort of planted itself
in our garden,
25:04.966 --> 25:06.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and that's the host plant
for the fritillaries.
25:06.666 --> 25:08.666 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and so we get lots of
fritillaries in the garden,
25:08.666 --> 25:10.200 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
and one of the
things that they learn
25:10.200 --> 25:12.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
is the difference in
flight for monarchs
25:12.766 --> 25:14.933 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and fritillaries, as I like
to say the fritillaries
25:14.933 --> 25:17.233 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
just kind of fritillary
along and they flap
25:17.233 --> 25:19.600 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
their wings a lot,
where monarchs
25:19.600 --> 25:22.566 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
will flap their wings
and then glide,
25:22.566 --> 25:25.400 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
and so they're able to identify
the difference,
25:25.400 --> 25:27.400 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and they learn that the
milkweed has
25:27.400 --> 25:30.700 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
cardenolides in it, which are
toxins that the monarchs uptake,
25:30.700 --> 25:33.000 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
and that is a
defense mechanism for them,
25:33.000 --> 25:35.200 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and since they are
orange, the other orange
25:35.200 --> 25:37.166 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
butterflies like
fritillary sort of get
25:37.166 --> 25:40.500 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
this mimicry defense
because they resemble
25:40.500 --> 25:42.600 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
monarchs to some of the
predators that might,
25:42.600 --> 25:44.133 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
you know, might want to
munch on them.
25:44.133 --> 25:46.533 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
<Amanda> Y'all
send kids out with nets
25:46.533 --> 25:48.700 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
sometimes, because
although most of what
25:48.700 --> 25:51.200 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
happens naturally here
in the garden,
25:51.200 --> 25:53.333 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
but you do bring
some of the caterpillars
25:53.333 --> 25:55.166 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
inside so that you can
watch the process
25:55.166 --> 25:57.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and they got to come out
here and figure out
25:57.266 --> 25:59.233 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
which orange butterfly
I'm supposed to catch.
25:59.233 --> 26:00.800 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
<Will>
That's exactly right.
26:00.800 --> 26:01.966 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
Yeah. So students come out,
26:01.966 --> 26:03.066 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and they will bring
Monarch caterpillars
26:03.066 --> 26:04.866 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
back into the classroom
just so we can observe
26:04.866 --> 26:07.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
them and watch them, and
they will go through
26:07.200 --> 26:09.466 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
their lifecycle in there,
and we can tag them
26:09.466 --> 26:11.300 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
from inside the
classroom,
26:11.300 --> 26:13.933 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
in addition to catching them,
the adults out here
26:13.933 --> 26:16.800 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and tagging those, and sure
they will,
26:16.800 --> 26:18.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
they have to know the difference
in fritillaries
26:18.633 --> 26:21.666 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and Monarchs because we
don't tag anything but monarchs,
26:21.666 --> 26:23.133 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Amanda> I think you
have a partner
26:23.133 --> 26:24.300 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
who's instrumental in this.
26:24.300 --> 26:26.600 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
<Will> I do.
Yeah, I do.
26:26.600 --> 26:29.066 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
So Cacie Davenport is our
seventh grade science teacher,
26:29.066 --> 26:33.066 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
and she is right in
there with me, and doing
26:33.066 --> 26:35.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
all of this work, and so
we work together
26:35.233 --> 26:38.533 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
as a team to make sure that
our students are able to
26:38.533 --> 26:41.700 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
participate and get all
of the same experiences,
26:41.700 --> 26:43.866 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
you know, that we
have to offer here
26:43.866 --> 26:46.366 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
in the garden, and also the
greenhouse work as well.
26:46.366 --> 26:48.133 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Amanda> I'd like to
put in a plug
26:48.133 --> 26:50.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
for both y'all because I believe
y'all have,
26:50.733 --> 26:53.000 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
you have 9 months appointments
or whatever it is,
26:53.000 --> 26:56.666 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
and yet, y'all are here in the
summer, when it's really
26:56.666 --> 26:59.200 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
hot and I'm happy, a time to
be outside
26:59.200 --> 27:01.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
in South Carolina, both of y'all
are over here,
27:01.666 --> 27:05.666 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
spending time in the garden,
and you have a true commitment
27:05.666 --> 27:09.500 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
to enlarging the life
of your students
27:09.500 --> 27:11.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and also being involved
in the natural world.
27:11.766 --> 27:12.966 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
Thank you so much.
27:12.966 --> 27:14.166 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
<Will>
Yeah, I appreciate that.
27:14.166 --> 27:17.000 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
It's...I can't do
this alone. I appreciate
27:17.000 --> 27:22.100 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
and I'm extremely
grateful for her help.
27:22.100 --> 27:25.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
It is a lot of hard work.
We do put in a lot of hours,
27:25.766 --> 27:27.533 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
but to see the
kids just get really
27:27.533 --> 27:29.933 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
passionate about
something and, you know,
27:29.933 --> 27:31.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
understand that they may
carry this from their
27:31.866 --> 27:33.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
seventh grade year on to
the rest of their life
27:33.966 --> 27:36.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and have an appreciation
for gardening,
27:36.566 --> 27:38.800 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
an appreciation for
pollinators, monarchs
27:38.800 --> 27:42.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
specifically. You know,
that's why we do this work.
27:42.800 --> 27:44.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Amanda> - and if people
want to know more
27:44.633 --> 27:45.933 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
about this at
all the good things
27:45.933 --> 27:47.400 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
that happen
at Irmo Middle School,
27:47.400 --> 27:49.033 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
what's the best way to find out?
27:49.033 --> 27:50.666 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
<Will> Well, it's
easy, they can just go to
27:50.666 --> 27:52.466 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
Irmo Middle School's
website, and there's a link
27:52.466 --> 27:54.300 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
on the website that
will get them to all the
27:54.300 --> 27:57.133 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
information about our work
and all of the
27:57.133 --> 27:59.500 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
things that we're doing
out here related to
27:59.500 --> 28:01.266 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
monarchs and milkweed.
<Amanda> I've had a grand time.
28:01.266 --> 28:02.600 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
Thank you for inviting us.
28:02.600 --> 28:04.366 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
<Will>
Thank you so much for coming.
28:04.366 --> 28:12.100 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
(students cheering)
28:14.100 --> 28:15.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Amanda> Well, I wish
they'd had things like
28:15.633 --> 28:18.033 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
that when I was in
middle school.
28:18.033 --> 28:20.800 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
It wasn't nearly as much fun.
What a lucky bunch of kids
28:20.800 --> 28:23.166 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
and great teachers
over there.
28:23.166 --> 28:26.500 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
Thanks for letting us come.
Well, as always,
28:26.500 --> 28:29.566 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
you know, hats, hats, hats,
and so when I come home
28:29.566 --> 28:32.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and cross the Congaree
River, there's one place
28:32.366 --> 28:34.733 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
where the guardrail
stops and I've noticed
28:34.733 --> 28:36.133 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
this plant
has been there
28:36.133 --> 28:38.400 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
and I've been watching it, you
know, from the beautiful
28:38.400 --> 28:41.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
early blooms and so I pulled
over and the dog said,
28:41.566 --> 28:43.433 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
"Why are we pulling over?".
The dog comes
28:43.433 --> 28:46.666 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
- Blue comes to doggy daycare,
and I very carefully
28:46.666 --> 28:48.733 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
got out and walked down there
28:48.733 --> 28:51.233 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
and made it through the smilax
and it's an array,
28:51.233 --> 28:54.400 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
it's spinosa
or devil's walking stick,
28:54.400 --> 28:57.066 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
which has...it's not
as bad as smilax
28:57.066 --> 28:58.400 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
because you'd have
to put your hand on it.
28:58.400 --> 29:00.300 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
Smilax just
reaches out and grabs you,
29:00.300 --> 29:01.900 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
but anyway, it's a
wonderful, wonderful
29:01.900 --> 29:05.300 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
native plant and
can get,
29:05.300 --> 29:07.600 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
how tall would you say?
<Mary> Very tall.
29:07.600 --> 29:09.866 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
<Amanda> Not taller than me,
but yeah,
29:09.866 --> 29:11.466 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
<Mary> Yeah, it's
got a great fall color
29:11.466 --> 29:13.733 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
actually in the fall
it's creamy yellow
29:13.733 --> 29:15.733 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and then that contrasts with
the purple berries.
29:15.733 --> 29:16.933 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
It's gorgeous.
29:16.933 --> 29:18.233 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
<Amanda>...and when
the flowers are in bloom
29:18.233 --> 29:21.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
it's just gorgeous, too.
and very attractive.
29:21.033 --> 29:22.800 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
I imagine the
pollinators.
29:22.800 --> 29:24.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
You're our entomologist,
Is it...?
29:24.433 --> 29:26.433 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
<Vicky> If it...as long as
it's got a simple flower
29:26.433 --> 29:29.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
on it, the pollinators
are going to love it.
29:29.433 --> 29:31.033 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
<Amanda> Anyway, so
it's something you might
29:31.033 --> 29:33.566 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
want to include
in your garden.
29:33.566 --> 29:36.100 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
It's not that big and it's
one wonderful
29:36.100 --> 29:38.433 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
conversation piece
because the truck has
29:38.433 --> 29:41.700 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
I don't know if their spines
or you know, prickles,
29:41.700 --> 29:43.800 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
but anyway, it's got these long
things coming out,
29:43.800 --> 29:46.300 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and that's why it's called
Devil's walking stick,
29:46.300 --> 29:50.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and then the white thing
is Melanthera nivea,
29:50.633 --> 29:52.700 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
which is a native plant
29:52.700 --> 29:55.366 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
that not many people have,
and I don't even remember
29:55.366 --> 29:56.700 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
how I got a start of mine.
29:56.700 --> 29:59.933 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
It's extraordinarily attractive
to pollinators.
29:59.933 --> 30:03.700 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Even though the flowers
are not that big and showy,
30:03.700 --> 30:06.000 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
and it's kind of
a sprawling thing, but,
30:06.000 --> 30:07.833 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
you know, late in the year,
it's so nice
30:07.833 --> 30:09.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
to have something that
the pollinators
30:09.766 --> 30:13.200 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
have been waiting for and that
helps them at that time,
30:13.200 --> 30:16.166 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
so if you ever get a
chance to get one,
30:16.166 --> 30:19.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Melanthera...I think it's
called snowy squarestem.
30:19.333 --> 30:20.433 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Are you familiar
with it, Vicky?
30:20.433 --> 30:22.400 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Vicky> I'm not but I
mean, it looks like
30:22.400 --> 30:25.666 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
something that like
maybe wasps like a lot,
30:25.666 --> 30:28.933 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
and wasps
are absolutely some
30:28.933 --> 30:31.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
of my very favorite pollinators.
So I'm a big fan.
30:31.600 --> 30:33.466 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
<Amanda>
Yeah. Okay. Okay.
30:33.466 --> 30:36.066 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Well, you can always
just take a can of soda
30:36.066 --> 30:39.133 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
out in the garden
this time of year. (laughs)
30:39.133 --> 30:41.300 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
Have all the wasps you want.
30:41.300 --> 30:45.566 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
Okay. Okay. All righty.
30:45.566 --> 30:48.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Terasa, I'm sure there's
no shortage of questions.
30:48.833 --> 30:50.600 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Terasa> We never have
a shortage of questions.
30:50.600 --> 30:53.600 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
but anytime Vicky is
on the show, we like,
30:53.600 --> 30:55.800 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
you know, she is an insect
person, as you mentioned
30:55.800 --> 30:58.233 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
an entomologist. I think
she brought some cool
30:58.233 --> 31:03.633 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
show and tell and maybe
captured some video for us
31:03.633 --> 31:07.300 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
of a native insect, the
Carolina mantid. Right, Vicky?
31:07.300 --> 31:11.333 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
<Vicky>...and so this thing
was out on my front porch,
31:11.333 --> 31:14.233 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
and the funny
thing about it is
31:14.233 --> 31:18.566 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
I had gone out there
to go film...
31:18.566 --> 31:22.933 align:left position:20% line:59% size:70%
and our Argiope aurantia,
31:22.933 --> 31:25.100 align:left position:17.5% line:59% size:72.5%
which is a yellow, a black
and yellow garden spider.
31:25.100 --> 31:27.666 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
<Amanda> Okay. >> So, I went
out there and go film her,
31:27.666 --> 31:29.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
because I was going to
send in pictures.
31:29.433 --> 31:31.033 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
She's making a mess
on my front porch,
31:31.033 --> 31:33.333 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
and I was going to start out
well, what is this mess
31:33.333 --> 31:35.800 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
and film her,
and she's like, 4 egg sacs...
31:35.800 --> 31:38.066 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
<Amanda> When she poops,
it's making a big mess.
31:38.066 --> 31:42.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
<Vicky> - and her spent feedings
are over on the ground,
31:42.066 --> 31:44.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and I was like, "Oh, I'm
going to send this in,
31:44.133 --> 31:46.000 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and this is what we're
going to talk about,
31:46.000 --> 31:48.500 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and so I was filming
the four egg sacs
31:48.500 --> 31:50.466 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
that she had laid
on my front porch,
31:50.466 --> 31:53.633 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and there was this
Carolina mantid
31:53.633 --> 31:57.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and I'm like, Oh, this is
way cooler (All laugh) and
31:57.100 --> 31:59.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Amanda> Now, why do you
say Carolina mantid?
31:59.000 --> 32:03.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Vicky> So we've got two
mantids in our area.
32:03.200 --> 32:05.600 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
We've got a Chinese
mantid and we've got
32:05.600 --> 32:07.766 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
a native Carolina mantid.
32:07.766 --> 32:09.100 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
<Amanda>
So, that's why you distinguish,
32:09.100 --> 32:11.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
because most people just
say a praying mantis.
32:11.000 --> 32:14.633 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
<Vicky> Correct, and so this
particular one is,
32:14.633 --> 32:19.300 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
is the native, and
they can be green,
32:19.300 --> 32:21.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
like the Chinese mantid,
but their wings
32:21.600 --> 32:25.000 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
are significantly shorter,
and I know that this
32:25.000 --> 32:28.866 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
one's a female because
she is absolutely gravid.
32:28.866 --> 32:31.733 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Her abdomen is
distended, and she's,
32:31.733 --> 32:34.533 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
she's ready to lay an
egg mass.
32:34.533 --> 32:37.733 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
I haven't found the egg mass
yet, but she's ready,
32:37.733 --> 32:40.066 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
and it was one of those things
where, you know,
32:40.066 --> 32:42.200 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
we don't always get to see
it close up.
32:42.200 --> 32:44.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
So I got some really
great video and I got some
32:44.433 --> 32:47.833 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
really great pictures
of her, and folks
32:47.833 --> 32:52.533 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
ask me all the time, you know,
can we purchase mantids?
32:52.533 --> 32:54.466 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Amanda> - to lease,
because they are beneficial?
32:54.466 --> 32:55.600 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
They eat insects.
32:55.600 --> 32:56.866 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
<Vicky> So, they're
generalist predators,
32:56.866 --> 33:02.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and so they're really
great. It's 100%
33:02.633 --> 33:05.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
natural, pesticide free,
biological control,
33:05.533 --> 33:08.200 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and we can buy them, but when
we're purchasing those,
33:08.200 --> 33:12.466 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
we're typically
purchasing Chinese mantid
33:12.466 --> 33:14.033 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
and we're not
purchasing the native,
33:14.033 --> 33:18.033 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
and the thing about having
33:18.033 --> 33:19.866 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
natural biological control
in your yard
33:19.866 --> 33:21.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and trying to release it
is that we can't guarantee
33:21.766 --> 33:25.066 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
they're going to stay.
<Amanda> Yeah. >> and so it's
33:25.066 --> 33:26.400 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
one of those things where
33:26.400 --> 33:28.100 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
<Amanda> Somebody else may make
a better pecan pie,
33:28.100 --> 33:29.433 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
<Vicky> Right.
<Amanda>...next door.
33:29.433 --> 33:31.000 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Vicky> So you know,
this is one of
33:31.000 --> 33:33.166 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
those things where we just
kind of try to foster
33:33.166 --> 33:36.300 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
what we already have
in our landscape,
33:36.300 --> 33:40.100 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and this was a really
great find for me.
33:40.100 --> 33:41.433 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
It's one of my favorite insects.
33:41.433 --> 33:42.766 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
<Amanda>
Now, when you say egg mass,
33:42.766 --> 33:45.866 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
if I'm not mistaken,
there's a real structure.
33:45.866 --> 33:48.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
They're not just casually laying
these eggs all around.
33:48.800 --> 33:52.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Vicky> So, it's not like
it's a butterfly
33:52.400 --> 33:55.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
laying eggs or a stinkbug
laying eggs. It's...
33:55.566 --> 34:00.166 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
they make this frothy mask,
and you can tell
34:00.166 --> 34:04.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
if it's a Chinese mantid
or if it's a Carolina mantid,
34:04.966 --> 34:08.033 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
by the way that
it's called an ootheca
34:08.033 --> 34:10.400 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
O-O-T-H-E-C-A
34:10.400 --> 34:12.266 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
how that ootheca looks,
34:12.266 --> 34:15.133 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and but it's a frothy mass,
and they'll stick it
34:15.133 --> 34:16.833 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
to almost anything.
It could be on leaves
34:16.833 --> 34:20.500 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
on twigs, sticks. This one's
going to be somewhere
34:20.500 --> 34:22.500 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
on my front porch.
So, it's probably like,
34:22.500 --> 34:24.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
you know, on the siding
or the railing or something
34:24.800 --> 34:29.700 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
like that, and it'll
overwinter and then
34:29.700 --> 34:32.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
the nymphs will come out
in the spring.
34:32.200 --> 34:34.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Amanda> - and haven't we
heard about people
34:34.833 --> 34:37.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
who maybe had a Christmas
tree and brought it inside
34:37.633 --> 34:39.533 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
and there was
one of these
34:39.533 --> 34:41.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
egg masses on that and then it's
warm in the house,
34:41.966 --> 34:44.500 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and all of a sudden,
the little
34:44.500 --> 34:47.433 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
whatever's happening says, oh,
it's warm. It's springtime.
34:47.433 --> 34:48.733 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
It's time to hatch.
34:48.733 --> 34:50.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Vicky> This exact thing
happened to me
34:50.300 --> 34:53.666 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
when I worked
in the Lexington office.
34:53.666 --> 34:54.800 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
I had brought in...
34:54.800 --> 34:57.166 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
So, somebody had
brought this to me
34:57.166 --> 34:59.500 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and I set it on my desk and
didn't think about it
34:59.500 --> 35:02.000 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
and we went
on Thanksgiving break,
35:02.000 --> 35:03.566 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
and whenever we came back,
35:03.566 --> 35:06.733 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
we have - there
are cubbies in there...
35:06.733 --> 35:10.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
So it's a divided office,
and so there's little babies
35:10.233 --> 35:14.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
walking along the top of
all the divider walls.
35:14.000 --> 35:16.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Amanda> and there wasn't
well, I hope that
35:16.033 --> 35:18.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
in the Lexington office,
there wasn't
35:18.100 --> 35:19.900 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
a whole lot for them to eat,
but maybe enough.
35:19.900 --> 35:23.500 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
<Vicky> I caught as many as I
could and took them outside,
35:23.500 --> 35:25.533 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
but everybody's like, this is
your fault, isn't it?
35:25.533 --> 35:27.800 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
(laughing)
Yes.
35:27.800 --> 35:30.400 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
<Amanda> Oh, my
goodness, gracious. What fun!
35:30.400 --> 35:32.566 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
- and we're now going
to have some even more fun
35:32.566 --> 35:34.666 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
because often Austin Jenkins,
a naturalist is here
35:34.666 --> 35:38.533 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
with us to talk about cicadas.
35:38.533 --> 35:40.700 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
I'm talking to Austin Jenkins,
who is a naturalist
35:40.700 --> 35:43.166 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
at the University of South
Carolina in Sumter
35:43.166 --> 35:46.666 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and Austin, at night,
the katydids sing.
35:46.666 --> 35:48.966 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
<Dr. Austin> Yes, yes,
the katydids
35:48.966 --> 35:51.266 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
are singing at night,
but just before that,
35:51.266 --> 35:53.700 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
you know, we have
the cicadas.
35:53.700 --> 35:57.300 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
<Amanda> Yeah. >> and so it's,
you know, I remember
35:57.300 --> 36:00.133 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
walking around as a kid and
finding the little exoskeletons
36:00.133 --> 36:02.266 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
of cicadas on the
faces of trees
36:02.266 --> 36:03.666 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
and what
a strange creature
36:03.666 --> 36:06.266 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
it appears to be.
Out of that comes,
36:06.266 --> 36:08.933 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
you know, the cicada, and this
individual once
36:08.933 --> 36:11.333 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
it comes out of that
exoskeleton will fly up
36:11.333 --> 36:13.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
in the air, and the boys
are singing.
36:13.766 --> 36:16.633 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
They're the ones that sing and
they're trying to attract
36:16.633 --> 36:19.566 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
the females. They have,
if you ever can
36:19.566 --> 36:23.333 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
get the opportunity to, you
know, see one that's
36:23.333 --> 36:25.466 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
maybe on the sidewalk
or something,
36:25.466 --> 36:28.333 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
but underneath there, if you
have those rounded lobes,
36:28.333 --> 36:31.833 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
that's the organ
for the songs, up under there.
36:31.833 --> 36:33.300 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
Yeah, and I
mean, imagine the
36:33.300 --> 36:35.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
cacophony that comes out
of that little tiny organ.
36:35.766 --> 36:37.033 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
<Amanda>
Isn't that fun!
36:37.033 --> 36:38.800 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
<Dr. Austin> It's impressive.
<Amanda> So this is a male?
36:38.800 --> 36:40.066 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
<Dr. Austin>
This would be a male.
36:40.066 --> 36:41.866 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
<Amanda> He's the only one
that sings. <Dr. Austin> Right.
36:41.866 --> 36:43.566 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
He's the only one that sings,
36:43.566 --> 36:45.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and the females will listen, and
if they hear what they like,
36:45.700 --> 36:47.333 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
they'll move in
that direction.
36:47.333 --> 36:50.333 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
<Amanda>...he does have we call
them big eyed bugs sometimes,
36:50.333 --> 36:51.900 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
and he
has a fairly large eye.
36:51.900 --> 36:54.033 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
<Dr. Austin> He does. <Amanda>
not as big as a dragonfly,
36:54.033 --> 36:55.333 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
but fairly large,
<Dr. Austin> Right, right,
36:55.333 --> 36:57.566 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
fairly large. Go ahead.
36:57.566 --> 36:58.766 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
<Amanda> Does it eat?
36:58.766 --> 37:00.900 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
<Dr. Austin> So
especially as a youngster,
37:00.900 --> 37:02.966 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
the cicadas
that we see are,
37:02.966 --> 37:05.200 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
you know, living underneath
the ground sucking
37:05.200 --> 37:07.933 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
from the roots of oak trees,
for example,
37:07.933 --> 37:10.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
for two or three years, and then
they'll emerge,
37:10.400 --> 37:12.333 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
but there's overlaps in
those generations.
37:12.333 --> 37:15.733 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
So we have cicadas just about
every year to look at
37:15.733 --> 37:18.833 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and then we also have
periodical cicadas
37:18.833 --> 37:21.133 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
that come about...
<Amanda> Get lots at one time
37:21.133 --> 37:24.166 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
<Dr. Austin>
Next year in fact, in 2024
37:24.166 --> 37:27.466 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
should be the emergence
of the periodicals
37:27.466 --> 37:30.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
up in Landsford Canal State Park
is a great place to see them.
37:30.633 --> 37:32.133 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
They have been
underneath the ground
37:32.133 --> 37:34.600 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
sucking on tree roots
for 13 years.
37:34.600 --> 37:36.066 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
So they're going
to come up at once.
37:36.066 --> 37:37.400 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
<Amanda>
That's a long lived insect.
37:37.400 --> 37:40.466 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
<Dr. Austin> Yes, long time in
the dark, but it works for them.
37:40.466 --> 37:42.833 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
They overwhelm all
the predators,
37:42.833 --> 37:44.400 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and they make sure that they
guarantee
37:44.400 --> 37:47.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
some reproduction because of
this life strategy,
37:47.966 --> 37:50.933 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
but they mostly as larvae,
and then some as adults.
37:50.933 --> 37:52.766 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
They have a long proboscis
that helps them...
37:52.766 --> 37:57.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
<Amanda> - and um, this one that
I found when I was going in to
37:57.200 --> 38:02.366 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
get some gas or something,
you can see his proboscis
38:02.366 --> 38:05.700 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
down there,
which is this structure,
38:05.700 --> 38:07.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Dr. Austin> Looks like a
little drinking straw
38:07.133 --> 38:08.300 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
that they can use to
38:08.300 --> 38:10.400 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Amanda> Kind of cool,
with it, just,
38:10.400 --> 38:13.266 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
if you take the time to look
at something up close.
38:13.266 --> 38:15.100 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
Isn't it just fascinating?
38:15.100 --> 38:17.466 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Look at these gorgeous wings
and feet with
38:17.466 --> 38:20.966 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
you know, little hooks on them
to hold on to things
38:20.966 --> 38:23.600 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
<Dr. Austin> - very intricate.
and some sometimes though
38:23.600 --> 38:26.000 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
I was thinking about songs,
sometimes you'll hear one
38:26.000 --> 38:27.900 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
sound a little
spastic.
38:27.900 --> 38:30.366 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
You know, because there's, if
you listen in your backyard,
38:30.366 --> 38:32.666 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
you'll hear, three or four
different types of songs.
38:32.666 --> 38:35.266 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
Those are all
different types of cicadas,
38:35.266 --> 38:37.400 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
and you can
kind of learn those songs,
38:37.400 --> 38:38.966 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
but after that,
sometimes you'll hear
38:38.966 --> 38:41.366 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
like an erratic spastic call.
38:41.366 --> 38:47.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
That's usually what happens when
a cicada gets hit by this.
38:47.200 --> 38:50.500 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
That's a cicada killer wasp.
Yeah, which is also
38:50.500 --> 38:52.333 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
listening for those sounds,
38:52.333 --> 38:54.733 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and when it finds a
- often a male cicada,
38:54.733 --> 38:57.966 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
it will sting it.
It will paralyze it.
38:57.966 --> 38:59.766 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
They don't have the
insects don't have
38:59.766 --> 39:01.833 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
refrigerators and ways
to keep things fresh.
39:01.833 --> 39:03.466 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
So, a good thing to do
is to paralyze,
39:03.466 --> 39:05.900 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
your prey. You
take it somewhere and
39:05.900 --> 39:07.933 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
dig a hole, put the cicada
down in that hole,
39:07.933 --> 39:10.600 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and then lay an egg on it.
<Amanda> So they would take this
39:10.600 --> 39:12.233 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
They can pick up this living
39:12.233 --> 39:13.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
<Dr. Austin>They can pick up
that cicada...
39:13.566 --> 39:15.933 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
<Amanda> He's just paralyzed.
<Dr. Austin>He's just paralyzed,
39:15.933 --> 39:17.366 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
and they'll
take it into a hole,
39:17.366 --> 39:19.900 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
lay an egg. The egg hatches
after a few days
39:19.900 --> 39:23.866 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
and has a fresh living meal to
consume as it develops
39:23.866 --> 39:25.766 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
into a new cicada killer.
39:25.766 --> 39:28.366 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
<Amanda>
So, only the females
39:29.866 --> 39:31.466 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
<Dr. Austin>
So, only the females
39:31.466 --> 39:33.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
are capturing this...
only female wasps are
39:33.766 --> 39:36.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
capturing male cicadas. >> Okay.
>> For the most part. Yes.
39:36.966 --> 39:39.733 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Amanda> Gosh, and then
they emerge. Yeah.
39:39.733 --> 39:43.300 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
A lot of emerging
going on.
39:43.300 --> 39:45.133 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Oh, the world is fascinating.
Thanks, Austin.
39:45.133 --> 39:46.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Dr. Austin> Indeed.
Glad to do it.
39:47.633 --> 39:48.733 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
<Amanda> We really
appreciate Austin
39:48.733 --> 39:50.400 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
coming over here
and helping us
39:50.400 --> 39:51.600 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
and this is going
to be something
39:51.600 --> 39:53.166 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
we're going to do a lot I think,
39:53.166 --> 39:55.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
because I sure enjoy it.
I know you do as well.
39:55.400 --> 39:56.733 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
Well, Terasa...
39:56.733 --> 39:58.200 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
<Terasa> You know
earlier in the show
39:58.200 --> 40:00.900 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
we were talking about
learning new things
40:00.900 --> 40:03.033 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and how I like kind of
little pieces of trivia,
40:03.033 --> 40:05.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and you sometimes share
little tidbits
40:05.366 --> 40:08.800 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
of information on the
Making It Grow Minute,
40:08.800 --> 40:12.333 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
which is sort of our
counterpart on public radio,
40:12.333 --> 40:14.800 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and it just so happened to
on my way to the studio today
40:14.800 --> 40:16.066 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
as I
opened the door
40:16.066 --> 40:19.400 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
to get in, I heard
a Making It Grow Minute,
40:19.400 --> 40:22.200 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
and you know, Vicky earlier was
talking about the caterpillar
40:22.200 --> 40:23.333 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
on the leaf here.
40:23.333 --> 40:27.333 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
You've talked about some moths
that use Crotalaria
40:27.333 --> 40:29.500 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
as their host plants.
So, I love all
40:29.500 --> 40:32.033 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
the connections, but I
encourage you to listen
40:32.033 --> 40:34.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
to South Carolina Public
Radio, lots of great
40:34.633 --> 40:37.200 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
shows, including the
Making It Grow Minutes,
40:37.200 --> 40:40.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
where you get just a one
minute teaser, and we
40:40.200 --> 40:42.133 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
of course, thank South
Carolina Farm Bureau
40:42.133 --> 40:44.966 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and Farm Bureau Federation
for supporting those minutes.
40:44.966 --> 40:46.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Amanda> Well, thank
you so much. I really do
40:46.633 --> 40:51.666 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
appreciate it, and, you
occasionally make links
40:51.666 --> 40:54.066 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
there on your Facebook
page, and you put
40:54.066 --> 40:56.266 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
something fresh every
day on our Facebook page,
40:56.266 --> 40:57.800 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
and thank you so
much for that Terasa.
40:57.800 --> 40:59.766 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
<Terasa> You're
welcome. I surely try,
40:59.766 --> 41:02.266 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
but I use lots of other
content as well,
41:02.266 --> 41:05.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and things that our other
extension agents contribute.
41:05.900 --> 41:07.900 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
So, it's
certainly not just a
41:07.900 --> 41:10.600 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
one person show, so to
speak, but I know we
41:10.600 --> 41:12.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
have people who have
questions,
41:12.433 --> 41:16.566 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
and we're going to try to help
them. So Gary in Lexington
41:16.566 --> 41:20.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
said I recently moved to
South Carolina from Ohio
41:20.366 --> 41:23.500 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and I have no idea how
to take care of my lawn.
41:23.500 --> 41:26.133 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Should I be fertilizing
in the fall?
41:26.133 --> 41:28.100 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
<Amanda> Oh, my
goodness gracious.
41:28.100 --> 41:32.833 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Well, Lexington is not in the
upstate. So. So Rob,
41:32.833 --> 41:34.066 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
what would your answer be?
41:34.066 --> 41:36.266 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
<Rob> So typically,
in our area in Lexington,
41:36.266 --> 41:39.133 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
we're going to be
looking at warm season grasses.
41:39.133 --> 41:41.466 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
Those are going
to go dormant somewhere
41:41.466 --> 41:44.133 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
around October, November
time and they're going
41:44.133 --> 41:46.266 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
to stop growing.
So, we don't want to be
41:46.266 --> 41:48.800 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
applying nitrogen late
in the season.
41:48.800 --> 41:50.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
If you look at the soil test
recommendations
41:50.966 --> 41:53.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
from Clemson Agricultural
Service laboratory,
41:53.933 --> 41:56.200 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
typically the last
application is late July
41:56.200 --> 41:59.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
for nitrogen fertilizer.
The later we go
41:59.566 --> 42:04.133 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
with nitrogen fertilizer, the
more soft, lush, tender growth
42:04.133 --> 42:06.600 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
we're going to get,
and that's going to kill it,
42:06.600 --> 42:10.200 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
could coincide
with an early frost,
42:10.200 --> 42:11.466 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
and that's going
to really cause some
42:11.466 --> 42:13.300 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
damage to turf grasses.
42:13.300 --> 42:16.033 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
Now, whenever
we're talking about fertilizer,
42:16.033 --> 42:17.633 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
I'd be
remiss to say we don't
42:17.633 --> 42:20.400 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
apply any fertilizer
without a soil test result,
42:20.400 --> 42:21.400 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
(Amanda laughs)
42:21.400 --> 42:24.933 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
but if you have
very low phosphorus,
42:24.933 --> 42:27.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
or very low potassium,
there can be some
42:27.366 --> 42:30.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
benefit to putting those
two elements out in the fall,
42:30.833 --> 42:32.366 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
because the root
system will still
42:32.366 --> 42:35.400 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
be growing and developing,
taking those nutrients up.
42:35.400 --> 42:37.966 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
So yes, depending
on the situation,
42:37.966 --> 42:42.833 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
phosphorus and potassium may be
helpful to be applied in fall.
42:42.833 --> 42:44.333 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
<Amanda>
That's kind of rare.
42:44.333 --> 42:46.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Rob> That would be a
very rare situation.
42:46.433 --> 42:48.366 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
<Amanda> Overall,
42:48.366 --> 42:51.366 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
just normally, no.
42:51.366 --> 42:53.266 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
<Rob> Normally,
absolutely not,
42:53.266 --> 42:57.500 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and again, with the
results of the soil test
42:57.500 --> 42:58.800 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
<Amanda> If they specifically
told you
42:58.800 --> 42:59.966 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
<Rob>
Yes, if you're looking
42:59.966 --> 43:02.633 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
at soil with a very low
pH then yes, lime
43:02.633 --> 43:04.766 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
would want to go out in the
fall to give it time
43:04.766 --> 43:06.966 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
to work for the spring.
43:06.966 --> 43:08.966 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Amanda> Well, thank
you so very much, and
43:08.966 --> 43:10.833 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
you get to just sit on
your hands sometimes
43:10.833 --> 43:13.800 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
which is nice, when you, if
you're one of those lawn people.
43:13.800 --> 43:15.466 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
<Rob> Absolutely.
Sitting back

we're going back to some

see these charming girls
and their heifer project
43:31.133 --> 43:32.666 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%

up with the kind of

We've been following two sisters
Madelyn and Logan Bolin
44:13.400 --> 44:15.900 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
in their journey. Our
first stop
44:15.900 --> 44:18.500 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
was at the Clemson Spring Dairy

T Ed. Garrison Arena where the
girls received their calves.
44:21.766 --> 44:24.200 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
From there we visited
Madelyn and Logan
44:24.200 --> 44:26.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
at their home in Clover to learn
how they had cared for
44:26.966 --> 44:29.466 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
their animals and how
hard it is to get a cow

<Madelyn> Well, we were really,
really excited,
44:48.100 --> 44:52.266 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
because my brothers and my mom
had did the heifer project
44:52.266 --> 44:53.800 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
and so then when
I met my heifer
44:53.800 --> 44:56.866 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
it was just so like happy to
have my own heifer,
44:56.866 --> 44:59.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and not to have to see my
brother's heifer
44:59.066 --> 45:00.333 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
so I could just have my own
45:00.333 --> 45:02.533 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and say it was it was my own.
It was really nice
45:02.533 --> 45:03.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Amanda> -and y'all were
pretty young
45:03.600 --> 45:05.166 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
when you got your first animal,
I believe.
45:05.166 --> 45:08.000 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
<Logan> Yes we were four years
old. <Amanda> That's unusual.
45:08.000 --> 45:09.433 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
<Logan> Yes,
<Amanda> but you've grown up
45:09.433 --> 45:10.600 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
with heifers around you.
45:10.600 --> 45:14.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
That made a difference...
and what is the day to day
45:14.766 --> 45:17.266 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
operation of having a cow?
What is like, what's your
45:17.266 --> 45:19.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
day like, the interaction
you have with a cow?
45:19.600 --> 45:22.700 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
<Logan>
So, we have to feed them
45:22.700 --> 45:25.533 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
and make sure they have water,
and make sure they,
45:25.533 --> 45:27.600 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
there's not a lot
of flies on them.
45:27.600 --> 45:28.866 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
So they
don't get sick or nothing,
45:28.866 --> 45:32.033 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and then we always just
walk them and make sure
45:32.033 --> 45:34.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
they're not feeling sick
or anything.
45:34.533 --> 45:36.233 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
Make sure they're healthy.
45:36.233 --> 45:37.866 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Just so to make sure they're
feeling their self.
45:37.866 --> 45:39.833 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
Okay so we
have to check up on them
45:39.833 --> 45:41.433 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
and make sure they're okay,
45:41.433 --> 45:44.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Amanda> Y'all make sure
that they're clean too.
45:44.433 --> 45:48.166 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Do they like to be washed off
and cleaned?
45:48.166 --> 45:50.400 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
<Logan> I think it cools them
down. Especially during the
45:50.400 --> 45:53.700 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
summer, it makes them feel
cooler and relieved to not
45:53.700 --> 45:56.733 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
be so sweaty and hot
and everything.
45:56.733 --> 46:01.000 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
<Amanda> Things that you are
judged on are two fold, I think.
46:01.000 --> 46:04.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
One involves the cow, how
the cow looks and one is
46:04.000 --> 46:07.200 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
about how you show the
cow. Can you talk a
46:07.200 --> 46:11.300 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
little bit about that?
<Logan> Yes, so there's certain
46:11.300 --> 46:13.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
classes that you can do.
So, showmanship
46:13.066 --> 46:15.733 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
is about how you present your
animal to the judge,
46:15.733 --> 46:20.833 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
and so you want to be, you want
to have like good posture
46:20.833 --> 46:23.466 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and you want be, you want
him to tell that
46:23.466 --> 46:25.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
you've been working with
your heifer for awhile,
46:25.966 --> 46:29.600 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
cause you want them to
kind of listen to you,
46:29.600 --> 46:33.466 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and you two will work very
good together,
46:33.466 --> 46:36.233 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and then there's confirmation
classes, which is
46:36.233 --> 46:40.133 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
her class to shine, and so
you want to make her look
46:40.133 --> 46:45.066 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
the best that she can, and it's
judged on her dairy character
46:45.066 --> 46:49.333 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and how deep she is,
and her correctness
46:49.333 --> 46:51.466 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
of her feet and legs,
and how straight she
46:51.466 --> 46:57.733 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
is over her back, and just an
overall very good heifer.
46:57.733 --> 46:59.733 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Amanda> Do you feel
like your confidence
46:59.733 --> 47:03.100 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
level in almost any
situation, not just in
47:03.100 --> 47:07.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
a barn, has developed and
strengthened through this?
47:07.766 --> 47:09.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Madelyn> Yes ma'am. Just
because for dairy judging
47:09.966 --> 47:11.233 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
you have to say reasons
47:11.233 --> 47:14.733 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
So you have to talk to the
judge. So this really,
47:14.733 --> 47:16.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
you have to have a lot of
confidence,
47:16.533 --> 47:17.666 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
because you have to speak up
47:17.666 --> 47:19.466 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
so you can understand what
you're saying
47:19.466 --> 47:21.100 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
and so you can
be clear about it.
47:21.100 --> 47:22.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
So, because the clearer
you are,
47:22.800 --> 47:25.200 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
the more able we are to win.
47:25.200 --> 47:27.200 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
<Amanda> I think
your next big event
47:27.200 --> 47:28.600 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
is going to be in Columbia,
47:28.600 --> 47:30.066 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
which is going
to be the State Fair,
47:30.066 --> 47:32.100 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and is that the culmination
of a lot of this work?
47:32.100 --> 47:34.133 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Madelyn> Yes ma'am.
It's like where it all comes
47:34.133 --> 47:36.733 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
together into that last
final piece
47:36.733 --> 47:38.866 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
where we get to spend a lot of
time with our friends
47:38.866 --> 47:40.900 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and cousins and like a lot
of people from different
47:40.900 --> 47:43.266 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
counties and stuff that are
in South Carolina.
47:43.266 --> 47:46.800 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
So, it's really nice getting to
see everyone and getting to know
47:46.800 --> 47:49.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
their cows and getting to
see everybody, a barn full
47:49.066 --> 47:53.533 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
of cows, and so it's where
we, everyone comes together
47:53.533 --> 47:54.833 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
and we'll show
against each other
47:54.833 --> 47:55.966 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
in a couple classes, usually.
47:55.966 --> 47:57.733 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
We just have fun
at that show.
47:57.733 --> 48:08.866 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
(man auctioning cow)
48:08.866 --> 48:10.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Amanda> One thing I was
wondering about is,
48:10.833 --> 48:14.600 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
you've had such a close
relationship with these cows,
48:14.600 --> 48:17.433 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
what's it like
when you are taken them
48:17.433 --> 48:19.433 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
for the last time
and because part
48:19.433 --> 48:21.600 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
of the program is that these
cows are going to go back
48:21.600 --> 48:24.266 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
into the dairy herd.
<Madelyn> Well, it's kind of sad
48:24.266 --> 48:27.133 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
but it's also kind of happy at
the same time because you get
48:27.133 --> 48:29.500 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
to get a new cow. So you get to
experience someone else,
48:29.500 --> 48:31.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
because if you don't like
your cow then you're going to be
48:31.633 --> 48:32.900 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
really happy
to get rid of her.
48:32.900 --> 48:34.266 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
(laughs)
48:34.266 --> 48:36.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
<Amanda>...and you have two cows
at the same time.
48:36.200 --> 48:38.366 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
That's kind of interesting.
Explain that to us.
48:38.366 --> 48:41.833 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
So you'll get a cow
and you'll raise it,
48:41.833 --> 48:44.433 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and then the following year
you'll get another calf,
48:44.433 --> 48:50.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and then that show season at the
end you'll sell the heifer
48:50.366 --> 48:52.366 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
that you've had for 18 months.
<Amanda> Okay,
48:52.366 --> 48:55.000 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and you'll say goodbye?
<Logan> Yes.
48:55.000 --> 48:57.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
<Amanda> But then you'll pack up
and come home,
48:57.266 --> 48:59.533 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
<Madelyn> Yes.
<Amanda> and still the process
48:59.533 --> 49:02.933 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
just keeps on going,
doesn't it? <Madelyn> Yes ma'am.
49:02.933 --> 49:08.933 align:left position:50% line:89% size:40%
♪
49:08.933 --> 49:13.700 align:left position:50% line:89% size:40%
♪
49:14.966 --> 49:16.133 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
<Amanda> I'm sure those girls
49:16.133 --> 49:18.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
are all grown up now but
still have their love of
49:18.633 --> 49:20.766 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
animals in the farm
life that their parents
49:20.766 --> 49:22.666 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
gave them such a
wonderful, wonderful way
49:22.666 --> 49:25.100 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
to spend their
youth wasn't that fun?
49:25.100 --> 49:27.733 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Well, Terasa, whom
else can we help?
49:27.733 --> 49:30.566 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Terasa> Well, Peter
wrote us from Pickens
49:30.566 --> 49:33.466 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and kind of similar in
thinking about fall,
49:33.466 --> 49:36.333 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
things are cooling off
plants might be going to
49:36.333 --> 49:40.100 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
rest for the season. It
appears that Peter plans
49:40.100 --> 49:44.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
to replace a tree in his
yard and has already
49:44.500 --> 49:46.633 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
already has the
replacement, but hasn't
49:46.633 --> 49:49.200 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
found the time to cut
down the tree yet and so
49:49.200 --> 49:52.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
is wondering, how can he
care for that
49:52.266 --> 49:55.200 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
replacement in the
container until he finds
49:55.200 --> 49:58.233 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
the time to go out and
cut down the tree?
49:58.233 --> 50:02.500 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
<Amanda> Oh yeah, I understand.
It would be nice if you
50:02.500 --> 50:04.300 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
were cutting down our
Bradford pear, wouldn't it?
50:04.300 --> 50:06.733 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Terasa> Sure, anytime,
any invasive species
50:08.100 --> 50:10.100 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
<Amanda> Mary, what
advice do you have?
50:10.100 --> 50:12.866 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
<Mary> So I've seen
people do things, you know,
50:12.866 --> 50:15.500 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
in different ways.
Ideally, fall is the
50:15.500 --> 50:18.200 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
time to plant your tree,
that's the best time for
50:18.200 --> 50:20.366 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
the plant to become
established, the roots,
50:20.366 --> 50:21.800 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and then it can flush
out new growth
50:21.800 --> 50:23.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
in the spring, but if you
really don't want to
50:23.666 --> 50:26.733 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
plant it now, there are
several different options.
50:26.733 --> 50:28.500 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
One of them,
you could dig a hole,
50:28.500 --> 50:32.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
put the container in the
hole, and then mulch around it.
50:32.133 --> 50:33.733 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
Containerized
plants only have a
50:33.733 --> 50:35.766 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
little bit of soil
medium in there,
50:35.766 --> 50:38.300 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
so their temperatures
fluctuate quite a bit.
50:38.300 --> 50:41.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
So, in the winter times,
that root system can
50:41.533 --> 50:43.366 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
become really, really
damaged if you let it
50:43.366 --> 50:45.866 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
get down to the single
digits. So you really
50:45.866 --> 50:47.666 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
want to help insulate
it. So if you can't plant
50:47.666 --> 50:49.833 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
it in the ground,
put it in a hole,
50:49.833 --> 50:51.566 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
maybe put some
pine straw or something
50:51.566 --> 50:54.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
over it or keep it in an
unheated garage
50:54.433 --> 50:57.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
or structure where it's
anywhere from 20 to 45 degrees,
50:57.800 --> 50:59.333 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
but nothing
heated because you might
50:59.333 --> 51:00.833 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
be able to break
it out of dormancy
51:00.833 --> 51:02.033 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
and then you'd have to,
51:02.033 --> 51:03.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Amanda>- even though
it's dormant, you've got
51:03.433 --> 51:05.033 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
to give it some water
occasionally?
51:05.033 --> 51:07.200 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Mary> Yeah. Yeah. So
check the soil moisture.
51:07.200 --> 51:08.833 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
If you're keeping it
in a garage or something.
51:08.833 --> 51:10.666 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
It's probably only
going to need water
51:10.666 --> 51:12.466 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
every two to three
weeks. You don't want to
51:12.466 --> 51:13.666 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
let it dry out,
51:13.666 --> 51:15.200 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
but you don't want
to over water it.
51:15.200 --> 51:16.466 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
<Amanda>
So, don't forget about it.
51:16.466 --> 51:21.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Mary> Keep an eye on it.
<Amanda> Okay, well, and I hope
51:21.266 --> 51:23.466 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
that he has great luck planting
it and we have a
51:23.466 --> 51:26.100 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
wonderful fact sheet
about planting trees,
51:26.100 --> 51:28.066 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
and there's, you
know, things are
51:28.066 --> 51:29.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
different now you don't-
They used to say
51:29.900 --> 51:32.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Terasa when I was young,
you know, you wanted
51:32.033 --> 51:36.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
a $20 hole for a $3 tree,
but you don't want
51:36.133 --> 51:37.900 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
to do that now.
So, it's a lot...
51:37.900 --> 51:40.166 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
it's...you shouldn't go to
a whole lot of work to dig
51:40.166 --> 51:43.333 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
the hole or to put a lot of
stuff in it. So do find
51:43.333 --> 51:45.300 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
out exactly what you're
supposed to do.
51:45.300 --> 51:46.566 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
It's easier than you think.
51:46.566 --> 51:50.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
<Terasa> Well, and, you know, we
talk about fall being
51:50.466 --> 51:53.000 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
a great time to plant
and in many people might
51:53.000 --> 51:56.333 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
not know that Arbor Day
in South Carolina is
51:56.333 --> 51:58.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
actually in December. It
doesn't coincide with
51:58.966 --> 52:02.000 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
the National Arbor Day
because that is when is
52:02.000 --> 52:04.200 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
the best time or a good
time to plant trees
52:04.200 --> 52:05.433 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
in South Carolina.
52:05.433 --> 52:06.766 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
<Amanda> Wonderful
thing for you to remember.
52:06.766 --> 52:09.133 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
I'm so glad
I've got your brain
52:09.133 --> 52:11.233 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
to figure up all the things
<Terasa> You just never know
52:11.233 --> 52:14.400 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
when a little piece
will fly right out.
52:14.400 --> 52:16.300 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Amanda> We just got
a little time left.
52:16.300 --> 52:18.466 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Do we have a short, a short
question, maybe?
52:18.466 --> 52:20.900 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Or a question that's going to
have a short answer.
52:20.900 --> 52:22.333 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Terasa> Maybe we could
go back to Vicky's.
52:22.333 --> 52:23.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
We were talking about the
Carolina mantid
52:23.766 --> 52:27.400 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and talking about how it can
serve as pest control,
52:27.400 --> 52:29.600 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
but then it's a
generalist feeder,
52:29.600 --> 52:31.733 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and so we think of
beneficial insects
52:31.733 --> 52:34.233 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and helping us because they
eat the bad guys,
52:34.233 --> 52:36.400 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
but maybe we could just talk
about how you know,
52:36.400 --> 52:38.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
they're - they might just
eat anything they can
52:38.733 --> 52:42.000 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
catch the good bugs and
the bad bugs.
52:42.000 --> 52:45.433 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Are there any insects that are
going to be feasting on
52:45.433 --> 52:50.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
more of our pest insects?
Or are they more generalists?
52:50.200 --> 52:53.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Vicky> So I think a lot
of our stuff out in our
52:53.300 --> 52:56.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
landscapes like whenever
you have mantids out there,
52:56.933 --> 53:00.266 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
when you have
spiders out there,
53:00.266 --> 53:03.866 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
a lot of those are just kind
of going after whatever
53:03.866 --> 53:04.966 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
they can catch.
53:07.133 --> 53:08.833 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
There's, there are
53:08.833 --> 53:11.033 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
specific things out
there that go
53:11.033 --> 53:14.000 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
for certain pests, but a lot
of those evolved together,
53:14.000 --> 53:17.733 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
and so they're
going to be more
53:17.733 --> 53:22.500 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
like parasitoids and stuff
instead of a generalist predator
53:22.500 --> 53:23.966 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
<Amanda>
They may lay an egg on them
53:23.966 --> 53:26.233 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
and then let the young feed...
53:26.233 --> 53:30.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
<Vicky> Yeah, so a parasitoid is
an insect that it's
53:30.966 --> 53:34.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
going to lay. It's going
to kill its host
53:34.666 --> 53:38.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
in order to complete its
lifecycle. <Mary> Many wasps.
53:38.000 --> 53:40.466 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Vicky>-a lot of those.
So, whenever in the summertime,
53:40.466 --> 53:43.066 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
you've got your tobacco
hornworms and Mary's
53:43.066 --> 53:48.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
talking about Braconidae
wasps. I did my research
53:48.200 --> 53:50.900 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
in graduate school on a
little fly that lays
53:50.900 --> 53:53.733 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
an egg inside the fire ant
and makes the fire ant's
53:53.733 --> 53:56.166 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
head fall of. <Amanda> and the
head becomes a puparian
53:56.166 --> 53:59.266 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
>> Yeah, <Amanda> I just love
that >> and so there's lots
53:59.266 --> 54:01.566 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
of very specific things
like that, and then
54:01.566 --> 54:05.700 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
you've got some pretty
spiffy things like
54:05.700 --> 54:10.166 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
lacewing larvae and
surfeit fly larvae that,
54:10.166 --> 54:13.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
that they eat a lot of
stuff but like their jam
54:13.366 --> 54:14.800 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
is aphids.
54:14.800 --> 54:18.133 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Amanda> Okay. Well,
how about ladybug beetles,
54:18.133 --> 54:19.366 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
<Vicky> So...
54:19.366 --> 54:21.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Amanda> Do they, I mean,
mostly eat things that
54:21.766 --> 54:22.933 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
we'd like not to have...?
54:22.933 --> 54:25.433 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
<Vicky> Lady beetles are going
to be out there preying,
54:25.433 --> 54:27.700 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
a lot of them are going
to eat aphids.
