49
00:03:12,492 --> 00:03:15,795
hopefully figure out what to do 
with your yard and Jackie

you are kind

52
00:03:21,201 --> 00:03:22,335
of my turf go to person. and 
everybody I

53
00:03:22,435 --> 00:03:25,438
go to this I went to one of 
the big box in

54
00:03:25,538 --> 00:03:28,107
the rock and and even today or 
some places and I was buying

55
00:03:28,208 --> 00:03:32,278
fertilizer and pre emergent and 
post emergent and I was like

56
00:03:32,378 --> 00:03:35,448
gosh I wish Jackie were here.She 
could tell them what they should

57
00:03:35,548 --> 00:03:39,652
be doing in their yard right 
now. This time of year it's too

58
00:03:39,752 --> 00:03:42,755
early to fertilize. You don't 
wanna fertilize your lawn until

59
00:03:42,855 --> 00:03:44,958
the night time temperatures are 
in the seventies and stay in

60
00:03:45,058 --> 00:03:47,961
the seventies and we're still 
seeing the forties in Columbia.

61
00:03:48,061 --> 00:03:51,097
so to early. You kind of waste 
the fertilizer and you are you

62
00:03:51,197 --> 00:03:54,434
are because the grass isn't 
going to take it up and use it.

63
00:03:54,534 --> 00:03:56,936
It's going to be taken up by the 
weeds and they're going to grow.

64
00:03:57,036 --> 00:03:59,973
It's going to move down to the 
soil column and be lost. Okay so

65
00:04:00,073 --> 00:04:03,309
you're just throwing money away 
your money away from us pre

66
00:04:03,409 --> 00:04:06,412
emergent you do you want to be 
careful especially on centipede

67
00:04:06,512 --> 00:04:10,483
can damage your lawn 
pre emergent

68
00:04:10,583 --> 00:04:13,186
.There's lots of different ones 
so it depends on what weed

69
00:04:13,286 --> 00:04:18,157
problem yeah dressing yeah so 
a lot of the weeds that you're

70
00:04:18,258 --> 00:04:20,660
seeing right now are winter 
weeds thats gonna be killed

71
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,029
out by the heat and so you're 
gonna have to make so many

72
00:04:23,129 --> 00:04:30,336
applications with post emergent. 
that they've already got it so

73
00:04:30,436 --> 00:04:33,172
lots of times we say mow the 
grass and let the clippings

74
00:04:33,273 --> 00:04:37,076
fall. But right now and catch 
those weed seeds. right

75
00:04:37,176 --> 00:04:39,345
here 
the best thing to do is just

76
00:04:39,445 --> 00:04:42,548
put a bag on and just try to 
keep as many of those seeds from

77
00:04:42,649 --> 00:04:45,385
getting back into the soil okay 
and let mother nature took a

78
00:04:45,485 --> 00:04:47,887
course in the heat will come 
out in just a few weeks anyway

79
00:04:47,987 --> 00:04:50,957
There you go. because it will 
get hot it will be hard to get

80
00:04:51,057 --> 00:04:53,459
and Tony Melton our small fruit 
and vegetable specialist is

81
00:04:53,559 --> 00:04:56,496
the fact that it gets so hot at 
night now. Has been causing a

82
00:04:56,596 --> 00:04:58,831
problem for our farmers who 
want to grow butter

83
00:04:58,931 --> 00:05:00,199
beans. Lets talk about it being 
so let's talk about

84
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,402
where that 
fits in with the economies of

85
00:05:02,502 --> 00:05:05,371
some farmers Tony and what 
you're trying to do to help

86
00:05:05,471 --> 00:05:08,474
them with that situation. Well 
with all the root crop

87
00:05:08,574 --> 00:05:12,078
situation now the prices are 
down in this hard for farmers

88
00:05:12,178 --> 00:05:15,715
to make money so a lot of them 
are trying to do

89
00:05:15,815 --> 00:05:19,218
diversification and grow other 
things such as butter beans

90
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:23,022
butter beans is a no it's a 
jewel of the south. I love my

91
00:05:23,122 --> 00:05:26,225
butter beans and so they're 
trying to go but being so

92
00:05:26,326 --> 00:05:30,763
contacted farming common but 
they've been having trouble and

93
00:05:30,863 --> 00:05:34,033
not getting the crops that they 
were expecting. Because of the

94
00:05:34,133 --> 00:05:37,804
night I heat that we're getting 
nighttime heat. Yeah what

95
00:05:37,904 --> 00:05:41,741
happens is butter beans like 
the heat

96
00:05:41,841 --> 00:05:45,611
night still flowers I callem 
little wimpy Amanda and a lot

97
00:05:45,712 --> 00:05:48,948
They a little wimpy there they a 
little wimpy they don't

98
00:05:49,048 --> 00:05:52,585
it gets too hot at night 
if it stays too

99
00:05:52,685 --> 00:05:56,989
hot above seventy six degrees at 
night they will fall and like

100
00:05:57,090 --> 00:06:00,760
last year. We had a real 
shortage of butter beans last

101
00:06:00,860 --> 00:06:04,330
year because it gets hot June 
then nobody produced Danny and

102
00:06:04,430 --> 00:06:08,968
then I've seen people actually 
get in scuffles over butter

103
00:06:09,068 --> 00:06:12,338
beans. When they were available 
they say I got those first.

104
00:06:12,438 --> 00:06:16,409
So Tony your trying to do some 
research at the PD Rec. on

105
00:06:16,509 --> 00:06:19,278
selecting planning a lot of 
different Butterbean seeds and

106
00:06:19,379 --> 00:06:21,948
then selecting the ones that 
seem to show some promise.

107
00:06:22,048 --> 00:06:25,818
That's right I got some 
varieties well some selections

108
00:06:25,918 --> 00:06:28,654
that are heat tolerant. Okay 
I'm just trying to multiply the

109
00:06:28,755 --> 00:06:34,160
seed out now my own get we can 
get it out

110
00:06:34,260 --> 00:06:39,232
to the farm to see you fight. 
[laughing] Christian Threatt

111
00:06:39,332 --> 00:06:41,868
is with us tonight and she's 
the education coordinator at

112
00:06:41,968 --> 00:06:46,672
Old Canal Park in Moncks Corner 
and she's got

113
00:06:46,773 --> 00:06:50,209
a very exciting event coming 
up Christian what have

114
00:06:50,309 --> 00:06:54,013
you got planned for us down 
there in Moncks Corner?

115
00:06:54,113 --> 00:06:56,849
Hi there. So I'm Kristin Threatt 
from old Santee canal park.

116
00:06:56,949 --> 00:06:59,285
This weekend we have our native 
plant festival. We're super

117
00:06:59,385 --> 00:07:02,255
excited we'll talk a little bit 
about that later in the show

118
00:07:02,355 --> 00:07:04,524
and we're also going to come 
over go over some awesome

119
00:07:04,624 --> 00:07:09,061
native plants of South Carolina. 
Okay. Thank you so much. Old

120
00:07:09,162 --> 00:07:10,930
Santee Canal Park excuse me on 
but it really

121
00:07:11,030 --> 00:07:12,465
is a wonderful park and we can 
learn more

122
00:07:12,565 --> 00:07:14,700
about it in a minute the right 
now we're

123
00:07:14,801 --> 00:07:18,070
gonna check in with Terasa 
because she has our chatters

124
00:07:18,171 --> 00:07:21,607
ready to get up and go and if 
somebody isn't familiar with

125
00:07:21,707 --> 00:07:25,244
getting in I think she's got 
something special to tell us to

126
00:07:25,344 --> 00:07:28,114
make it even easier Terasa and 
you've been doing some homework

127
00:07:28,214 --> 00:07:31,417
and fiddling around to Making It 
Grow page ?

128
00:07:31,517 --> 00:07:34,387
Just a little bit. So we try to 
make the process of doing the

129
00:07:34,487 --> 00:07:37,957
chat conversation very user 
friendly. The only trick comes

130
00:07:38,057 --> 00:07:42,261
into play when you're trying to 
use a mobile device. So we added

131
00:07:42,361 --> 00:07:45,665
that new notes tab to the page 
and you'll see that there are

132
00:07:45,765 --> 00:07:49,569
instructions on how to join the 
chat room. If you scroll down

133
00:07:49,669 --> 00:07:52,305
you can read the directions 
about clicking on the chat link

134
00:07:52,405 --> 00:07:55,808
and then it talks about if 
you're using an apple mobile

135
00:07:55,908 --> 00:07:59,812
device. What you need to do is 
look for this little share icon

136
00:07:59,912 --> 00:08:03,015
it's that square with the arrow 
pointing out. Push on there and

137
00:08:03,115 --> 00:08:06,886
then scroll to the icon where 
it says request desktop site.

138
00:08:06,986 --> 00:08:10,189
And that should get you 
connected from your mobile

139
00:08:10,289 --> 00:08:13,326
device as long as it's an apple 
product. If it's something else

140
00:08:13,426 --> 00:08:18,331
we may need to find the tricks 
and tips for that. Also on that

141
00:08:18,431 --> 00:08:23,102
notes tab is the community 
happenings Vicki and Sean put

142
00:08:23,202 --> 00:08:27,173
this together. This will help 
you to find out all about the

143
00:08:27,273 --> 00:08:29,876
gardening and landscaping 
related events so maybe you're

144
00:08:29,976 --> 00:08:32,778
looking for something this 
weekend and you can see that

145
00:08:32,879 --> 00:08:37,183
there are a variety of things 
happening on Friday and

146
00:08:37,283 --> 00:08:41,053
Saturday. So lots to do probably 
something no matter where

fans of the close by or you can 
even plan a road trip. Which is

161
00:09:27,934 --> 00:09:30,703
a fun thing to do 
everything in South Carolina

162
00:09:30,803 --> 00:09:33,339
such beautiful so beautiful this 
time of year. Well Lou

163
00:09:33,439 --> 00:09:36,609

please.

165
00:09:39,478 --> 00:09:44,083
Well Amanda thank you much and 
happy belated easter to you

166
00:09:44,183 --> 00:09:46,986
in beautiful Twilight here in 
South Carolina.

167
00:09:47,086 --> 00:09:49,889
here I do hear part of the 
opening

168
00:09:49,989 --> 00:09:54,093
about the centipede.That was 
part of my question. I was

169
00:09:54,193 --> 00:09:58,431
trying to be a neighbor and help 
my my my my partner out

170
00:09:58,531 --> 00:10:01,601
next door and spray some of his 
weeds and killed some of his

171
00:10:01,701 --> 00:10:08,741
grass and he got all p owed at 
me. is great you got all listen

172
00:10:08,841 --> 00:10:13,312
Jerry it's gonna come back. 
Don't worry. but I did hear the

173
00:10:13,412 --> 00:10:15,948
opening and I did get to hear 
the results on what happened.

174
00:10:16,048 --> 00:10:20,286
But I do believe that the 
centipede will come back. I have

175
00:10:20,386 --> 00:10:25,491
a question for Tony and this 
might be off the cuff Tony but I

176
00:10:25,591 --> 00:10:30,630
started for my granddaughter a 
pine apple top. I am

177
00:10:30,730 --> 00:10:34,400
wondering if it will ever 
produce? It's grown

178
00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:39,372
pretty darn big and I just 
curious it'll ever produce

179
00:10:39,472 --> 00:10:44,377
any pineapple? If that's 
possible?

180
00:10:44,477 --> 00:10:48,581
I'm sorry go ahead. Besides that 
everything else is going good.

181
00:10:48,681 --> 00:10:52,618
well we had a nice little spring 
so far so thank you much.

182
00:10:52,718 --> 00:10:55,488
Okay thank you for 
calling we appreciate it. You

183
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:58,658
enjoy yourself down there let's 
start with you Tony and then

184
00:10:58,758 --> 00:11:00,960
will switch over and get a 
little bit more information on

185
00:11:01,060 --> 00:11:04,664
the centipede at that site so 
he's got this pineapple the end

186
00:11:04,764 --> 00:11:10,136
and it will produce fruit it 
just takes a long time so it's

187
00:11:10,236 --> 00:11:13,739
not something you can do 
outside in South Carolina goes

188
00:11:13,839 --> 00:11:16,909
is gonna to take all right 
through the winter now to get

189
00:11:17,009 --> 00:11:20,346
the produce fruit now you can 
do it in green house or in a

190
00:11:20,446 --> 00:11:24,717
sun room in places like that and 
it will produce fruit

191
00:11:24,817 --> 00:11:27,420
that it just comes back on 
the top and you can get

192
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,757
a fruit but it will be awhile 
okay so but with about

193
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:34,827
two years or something like 
that yeah just don't be at home

194
00:11:34,927 --> 00:11:40,266
we do still have the Hawaii 
weather here Amanda.

195
00:11:40,366 --> 00:11:46,005
Gosh darn it. But we've got he's 
sprayed

196
00:11:46,105 --> 00:11:50,176
centipede number little bit I 
know says it's centipede if you

197
00:11:50,276 --> 00:11:53,312
use herbicides often and you 
have to use even the smell of

198
00:11:53,412 --> 00:11:56,315
reduced amount the real 
sensitive and there are no

199
00:11:56,415 --> 00:11:59,485
facilities will come back well 
it's really depending on what

200
00:11:59,585 --> 00:12:04,957
he used there were two four d 
the camber

201
00:12:05,057 --> 00:12:09,462
that can in higher strains can 
hurt your lawn. The centipede

202
00:12:09,562 --> 00:12:11,797
tends to be fairly aggressive 
that I have seen centipede

203
00:12:11,897 --> 00:12:14,633
combat where most of the yard 
was dead it was just a small

204
00:12:14,734 --> 00:12:17,937
patch and is grown in and filled 
in.

205
00:12:18,037 --> 00:12:21,240
The base there it's a fairly 
aggressive quick growing grass

206
00:12:21,340 --> 00:12:24,143
okay in as long as it's 
given what

207
00:12:24,243 --> 00:12:29,115
it wants culturally okay so 
don't fertilize it too much

208
00:12:29,215 --> 00:12:32,184
love it to death just kind of 
leave it alone and let it be an

209
00:12:32,284 --> 00:12:36,322
okay it'll felons soak 
what that's why it is so

210
00:12:36,422 --> 00:12:39,692
important because some grasses 
can even you can even use

211
00:12:39,792 --> 00:12:42,962
particular herbicides on back 
there are fine other grasses

212
00:12:43,062 --> 00:12:46,365
and then on some of them you 
have to reduce the amount back

213
00:12:46,465 --> 00:12:48,801
St Augustine there are very few 
chemicals that you can use on

214
00:12:48,901 --> 00:12:52,071
St Augustine effectively you 
there's more options for

215
00:12:52,171 --> 00:12:54,907
centipede up certainly Bermuda 
and Zoysia have different

216
00:12:55,007 --> 00:12:58,110
options available to them 
different strains can be used

217
00:12:58,210 --> 00:13:00,613
so it's very important to check 
the fact sheet that we have on

218
00:13:00,713 --> 00:13:03,449
the weeds and read the label 
read them. Thank you so much for

219
00:13:03,549 --> 00:13:06,719
explaining that to us and we'll 
hope that that we're going to

220
00:13:06,819 --> 00:13:11,090
have a pineapple milkshake. 
Charlotte is calling from

221
00:13:11,190 --> 00:13:14,193
Lamar. Charlotte we sure happy 
to hear from you and what's

222
00:13:14,293 --> 00:13:17,530

be able to help you with.

223
00:13:17,630 --> 00:13:22,001
Well I got two persimmon trees 
to one make the big persimmons.

224
00:13:22,101 --> 00:13:27,473
Yeah. I thought I was watching 
them and my husband say did you

225
00:13:27,573 --> 00:13:31,544
see all those bugs on the trees 
I went and said no. I went

226
00:13:31,644 --> 00:13:35,648
and it looks almost like 
a Japanese beetle like a

227
00:13:35,748 --> 00:13:40,019
lady bug. It is hard and I don't 
know what they are I want to

228
00:13:40,119 --> 00:13:42,621
find out what they are so I can 
get rid of them cause I don't

229
00:13:42,721 --> 00:13:47,593
want them to kill my two trees. 
Now this is a persimmon tree or

230
00:13:47,693 --> 00:13:49,795
pomegranate tree? Persimmon it's 
the big Persimmons...

231
00:13:49,895 --> 00:13:52,631
Okay. The one you would call 
Korean Persimmon...

232
00:13:52,731 --> 00:13:57,303
Yeah, Yeah! Okay! Those Asian 
ones. Yeah They're Asian right!

233
00:13:57,403 --> 00:13:59,772
I dont want to, I'm trying to 
keep the alive. I don't want

234
00:13:59,872 --> 00:14:02,074
those fancy whatever it is to 
get rid of,

235
00:14:02,174 --> 00:14:05,477
to kill them. So you're seeing, 
figure out what's on them.

236
00:14:05,578 --> 00:14:08,514
you're seeing some kind of 
insect on it, you think?

237
00:14:08,614 --> 00:14:11,283
Yeah! It's got a hard shell on 
it and I missed and

238
00:14:11,383 --> 00:14:15,187
popped one off today and it's 
still, It's some kind

239
00:14:15,287 --> 00:14:20,159
of bug or something inside of 
it. I'm just not real sure what

240
00:14:20,259 --> 00:14:23,596
that is. Anybody got any idea? 
Might have stink bugs That'll be

241
00:14:23,696 --> 00:14:25,731
the only thing I know. She said 
it had a hard shell

242
00:14:25,831 --> 00:14:29,902
or some kind of bug inside it. I 
don't,

243
00:14:30,002 --> 00:14:31,971
Simmons grow anywhere. You know.

244
00:14:32,071 --> 00:14:35,608

00:15:14,747 --> 00:15:15,981
Jackie, I think you've got

257
00:15:16,081 --> 00:15:19,418
something that you walked out in 
the yard and found and said. Ah!

258
00:15:19,518 --> 00:15:24,623
What a happy occasion. My little 
Chinese ground orchid. Uh huh.

259
00:15:24,723 --> 00:15:26,759
Now hold it real still so they 
can get a good picture.

260
00:15:26,859 --> 00:15:29,428
There you go. And the color is 
just beautiful

261
00:15:29,528 --> 00:15:31,697
Isn't it? Yeah 
and with that shirt of yours

262
00:15:31,797 --> 00:15:35,301
we feel like you've got 
an old master artist

263
00:15:35,401 --> 00:15:38,837
that put you up together. There 
you go. And it's got a

264
00:15:38,938 --> 00:15:43,409
bla-tea-cha? 
Bla...bla. Bletilla

265
00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:46,912
Chinese ground orchid and they 
are growing in dry shade in my

266
00:15:47,012 --> 00:15:50,749
yard. So it's just a pop of 
color for shade. Okay, okay!

267
00:15:50,849 --> 00:15:51,917
Well, it sure is pretty No you 
don't have to do a thing in

268
00:15:52,017 --> 00:15:54,286
the world to it do you? 
No No. Yeah!

269
00:15:54,386 --> 00:15:57,656
Our kind of plant. Exactly.

270
00:15:57,756 --> 00:15:59,892
Well, thank you for sharing it 
with us. You're welcome.

271
00:15:59,992 --> 00:16:00,893
Alton lives down in Myrtle 
Beach.

272
00:16:00,993 --> 00:16:04,830
Alton what's going on down 
your way?

273
00:16:04,930 --> 00:16:10,269
Yes a question concerns rose 
bushes. I forgot to trim, Well I

274
00:16:10,369 --> 00:16:16,675
didn't forget. I kept pushing 
off trimming my rose bushes back

275
00:16:16,775 --> 00:16:21,747
one Spring and now one of my 
rose bushes all it has on it is

276
00:16:21,847 --> 00:16:25,317
just green leaves. It's not 
putting out new buds or

277
00:16:25,417 --> 00:16:28,988
anything. Is it too late for me 
to cut my rose bushes back?

278
00:16:29,088 --> 00:16:33,292
My goodness. I didn't cut man 
back and I pick roses that are

279
00:16:33,392 --> 00:16:38,030
all over Terasa's 
desk today. He

280
00:16:38,130 --> 00:16:43,268
He's does. He just has some 
leaves. Did you fertilize it?

281
00:16:43,369 --> 00:16:46,672
Are you still there Alton? 
I'm still here. But I'm

282
00:16:46,772 --> 00:16:51,510
having trouble hearing you. Did 
you frtilize it?

283
00:16:51,610 --> 00:16:58,050
I'm sorry. Say that again. Did 
you put fertilizer on it?

284
00:16:58,150 --> 00:17:02,988
No, not overly. I did just a 
little bit but not a lot of

285
00:17:03,088 --> 00:17:06,759
fertilizer. Okay 
I don't know why it didn't have

286
00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:09,061
any 
blooms. What do you think he

287
00:17:09,161 --> 00:17:14,466
should , just...? 
Would you cut it right now?

288
00:17:14,566 --> 00:17:17,703
I would imagine you, what I 
would do is take a look at the

289
00:17:17,803 --> 00:17:23,242
overall shrub itself and see if 
it is so overgrown that it would

290
00:17:23,342 --> 00:17:26,245
present a problem. Like 
sometimes the knockouts get so

291
00:17:26,345 --> 00:17:30,816
overgrown and it's so, Dense? 
Dense. The sun, Well you have

292
00:17:30,916 --> 00:17:34,720
more spider mite problems. You 
have more insect problems. So if

293
00:17:34,820 --> 00:17:39,425
that was the case then I would 
come in and I would do some

294
00:17:39,525 --> 00:17:42,327
heading pruning cuts, where you 
actually take the branch

295
00:17:42,428 --> 00:17:44,163
thinning pruning cuts where you 
actually take the branch all the

296
00:17:44,263 --> 00:17:47,032
way back to where it ends. To 
open it up for more light.

297
00:17:47,132 --> 00:17:48,434
Okay. Circulation to allow

298
00:17:48,534 --> 00:17:53,405
more blooms in there. But if it 
looks fine I would just imagine

299
00:17:53,505 --> 00:17:56,909
he's probably gonna get some 
blooms soon. Yeah Yeah.

300
00:17:57,009 --> 00:18:00,946
Mine has just started having 
some flowers. And Tony

301
00:18:01,046 --> 00:18:05,217
be careful, you you like 
the baby food approach to

302
00:18:05,317 --> 00:18:09,088
fertilize. That's right. Always 
just spoon feed. Okay.

303
00:18:09,188 --> 00:18:10,589
Just a little bit at a time.

304
00:18:10,689 --> 00:18:13,492
That's a pretty thing that you 
got. That's a beautiful little 
shrub

305
00:18:13,592 --> 00:18:18,430
rose yeah Baffert Tom this 
flowers all over now the only

306
00:18:18,530 --> 00:18:24,336
thing I see is I do have some 
anthracnose and some black spot

307
00:18:24,436 --> 00:18:28,107
on it and you know if they can 
they can put up with a lot of

308
00:18:28,207 --> 00:18:31,643
it can't and really the only 
academic difference is really

309
00:18:31,743 --> 00:18:34,947
get a good look at it with us 
this is a loopy yeah sale if

310
00:18:35,047 --> 00:18:40,052
you look still if each side 
hello I can see the difference

311
00:18:40,152 --> 00:18:43,922
between the two two different 
types of diseases can treat for

312
00:18:44,022 --> 00:18:47,192
treat for the diseases. Okay but 
a lot of roses can

313
00:18:47,292 --> 00:18:49,061
tolerate those issues with and 
without a

314
00:18:49,161 --> 00:18:52,865
without okay thank you well 
I'm going to go

315
00:18:52,965 --> 00:18:55,334
and find out what Kristin to 
share with us to get us all

316
00:18:55,434 --> 00:18:58,937
excited about her native plant 
event that she's having and

317
00:18:59,037 --> 00:19:01,373
while we do that we can check 
it Terasa and hear the latest

318
00:19:01,473 --> 00:19:04,710
news from the chat room. Terasa 
what is the news?

319
00:19:04,810 --> 00:19:08,080
Thanks Amanda. We've been 
talking a lot about wildlife.

320
00:19:08,180 --> 00:19:11,483
Specifically bluebirds in their 
nesting habitats and lots of

321
00:19:11,583 --> 00:19:15,654
people excited about having 
either eggs or babies or in the

322
00:19:15,754 --> 00:19:19,024
my case, I have babies who have 
already fled and ready for

323
00:19:19,124 --> 00:19:22,561
another nest. This is the time 
is show when I get to provide a

324
00:19:22,661 --> 00:19:25,497
water quality tip. So tonight 
I'd like to take the

325
00:19:25,597 --> 00:19:28,300
opportunity to promote our 
master rain Gardner

326
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,037
certification program. There is 
a website if you just went to

327
00:19:32,137 --> 00:19:34,940
Clemson and search master rain 
Gardner. You'd find it very

328
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:39,111
easily this was developed by 
Kim counts Morgan Elena to see

329
00:19:39,211 --> 00:19:42,915
right there on the screen so 
registration for this program

330
00:19:43,015 --> 00:19:47,419
is coming up it's stops on may 
the third and the course begins

331
00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:51,924
on may the sixth. This is all 
about rain water harvesting and

332
00:19:52,024 --> 00:19:55,060
rain gardens and it happens to 
be two tracks. We have a letter

333
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,664
of completion track that's open 
to anyone so might be a general

334
00:19:58,764 --> 00:20:02,234
homeowner, master gardener, 
master naturalist. There also is

335
00:20:02,334 --> 00:20:04,703
a certification track and 
that's geared more toward the

336
00:20:04,803 --> 00:20:08,140
professional audience. Who might 
want to install a rain garden

337
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,944
or rain water harvesting system 
in someone's yard. I'll be sure

338
00:20:12,044 --> 00:20:14,513
to share the link on our 
Facebook page. So it's right at

339
00:20:14,613 --> 00:20:18,383
your fingertips and you'll be 
able to learn more about those

340
00:20:18,483 --> 00:20:21,954
water conservation measures. Now 
let's check back in with Amanda

341
00:20:22,054 --> 00:20:25,023
and her guest.Kristin Threet 
comes up today from Moncks

342
00:20:25,123 --> 00:20:30,329
Corner. From the Old Santee 
Canal Park. You've got

343
00:20:30,429 --> 00:20:34,366
a big event planned on Saturday 
yes ma'am. So we have

344
00:20:34,466 --> 00:20:38,237
our second native plant 
festival. We're very excited.

345
00:20:38,337 --> 00:20:41,240
we'll have plants available. 
We're having several vendors we

346
00:20:41,340 --> 00:20:44,643
have presentations from native 
plant experts. It's gonna be

347
00:20:44,743 --> 00:20:47,079
awesome. Now I think you can 
even get lunch there. Can't you?

348
00:20:47,179 --> 00:20:51,583
You can absolutely. I came last 
year for us to see lunch.

349
00:20:51,683 --> 00:20:53,952
Because when you someplace at 
that you say you know you don't

350
00:20:54,052 --> 00:20:56,622
always have time to pick picnic 
and so it's nice to support

351
00:20:56,722 --> 00:20:59,591
local people who come in. 
Absolutely. And then to

352
00:20:59,691 --> 00:21:02,261
go home to perhaps of some 
beautiful plants

353
00:21:02,361 --> 00:21:05,464
yeah we so interested native 
plants these days fronts

354
00:21:05,564 --> 00:21:09,034
reasons everyone's wildlife so 
native plants provide shelter

355
00:21:09,134 --> 00:21:12,104
and food sources to native 
wildlife. Which is great and for

356
00:21:12,204 --> 00:21:14,840
Gardner's because already 
adapted to soil conditions in

357
00:21:14,940 --> 00:21:17,209
the climate. They don't need a 
lot of extra watering. They

358
00:21:17,309 --> 00:21:19,678
don't need a lot of extra 
fertilization how many just

359
00:21:19,778 --> 00:21:22,314
really help balance out the 
natural ecosystem is wonderful.

360
00:21:22,414 --> 00:21:24,616
And their two groups of insects 
that we don't think about

361
00:21:24,716 --> 00:21:29,488
a lot whitch are pollinators. 
Yes ma'am which can be bees.

362
00:21:29,588 --> 00:21:35,861
yeah humming birds and I'm and 
then also caterpillars and so

363
00:21:35,961 --> 00:21:38,263
the native pollinators everybody 
thinks about the bees the bees

364
00:21:38,363 --> 00:21:41,199
so he's right out but not all of 
it is so extraordinary important

365
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:43,568
thing. Absolutely so the 
pollinators are really really

366
00:21:43,669 --> 00:21:46,071
important. But like you said 
there's also so many plants

367
00:21:46,171 --> 00:21:48,440
that are larval hosts which 
we'll talk about a little bit

368
00:21:48,540 --> 00:21:51,810
which are also super important. 
And that's because of the need

369
00:21:51,910 --> 00:21:56,448
that birds have to feed protein. 
Yeah absolutely. So it's a whole

370
00:21:56,548 --> 00:22:00,652
cycle which is beautiful. 
And native plants and the birds

371
00:22:00,752 --> 00:22:04,623
came together to coevolution so 
really they're not a lot of

372
00:22:04,723 --> 00:22:07,392
plants that are exotic that we 
brought here that will

373
00:22:07,492 --> 00:22:11,029
support the larval canopy the 
larval stage of the butterflies

374
00:22:11,129 --> 00:22:13,932
and moths and that's makes it 
critical. Absolutely because

375
00:22:14,032 --> 00:22:16,368
these native plants have have 
adapted and evolved with these

376
00:22:16,468 --> 00:22:18,904
other species and they already 
have those interactions. Well

377
00:22:19,004 --> 00:22:21,273
let's start with some of the 
most start down there with that

378
00:22:21,373 --> 00:22:23,842
I believe that's what our 
native honeysuckle. Absolutely

379
00:22:23,942 --> 00:22:26,545
so I love this this native 
honeysuckle is coral

380
00:22:26,645 --> 00:22:29,081
honeysuckle is one of my 
favorites.

381
00:22:29,181 --> 00:22:32,818
It's ever green it comes in a 
red or yellow bloom is

382
00:22:32,918 --> 00:22:36,288
beautiful and it's wonderful 
for hummingbirds. I sometimes I

383
00:22:36,388 --> 00:22:39,891
see hummingbirds more at this 
than my feeder which is really

384
00:22:39,991 --> 00:22:42,728
cool that needs something to 
clamor onside kick like a

385
00:22:42,828 --> 00:22:45,831
trellis or a piece of chicken 
it's a great climber not too

386
00:22:45,931 --> 00:22:49,768
aggressive trellis is wonderful 
an Arbor is wonderful really

387
00:22:49,868 --> 00:22:53,672
great climber okay and and then 
again evergreen and it blooms

388
00:22:53,772 --> 00:22:57,242
sporadically. also me get amazed 
this massive flustered blooms

389
00:22:57,342 --> 00:23:00,846
but then you can call also 
absolutely my goodness and the

390
00:23:00,946 --> 00:23:05,550
next it we've got yellow top 
one of my favorite new wild

391
00:23:05,650 --> 00:23:08,754
flowers so this is lance leave 
Korea offices there several

392
00:23:08,854 --> 00:23:11,490
species with this is that for 
the most common. Great for

393
00:23:11,590 --> 00:23:15,761
pollinators. So all kinds of 
different insects butterflies

394
00:23:15,861 --> 00:23:18,964
this was really cool because it 
grows in clusters of but it can

395
00:23:19,064 --> 00:23:21,366
have large colonies. Okay. This 
is when the kind used to be kept

396
00:23:21,466 --> 00:23:24,436
on its own or in its own special 
raised bed, it will start

397
00:23:24,536 --> 00:23:27,506
to spread out okay but but if 
you have an area where you've

398
00:23:27,606 --> 00:23:30,575
got room this is a great one 
right one it has four much of

399
00:23:30,675 --> 00:23:33,412
loops office several yeah 
that's it isn't really that is

400
00:23:33,512 --> 00:23:35,847
doing its job for more than 
just a week or two it was

401
00:23:35,947 --> 00:23:38,850
hanging on there for spring and 
summer okay right next to it we

402
00:23:38,950 --> 00:23:42,754
have a little south yep. So this 
one's called scarlet stages in

403
00:23:42,854 --> 00:23:45,257
the south of your family I love 
this one because it has is it's

404
00:23:45,357 --> 00:23:47,726
going to have these really 
pretty red blooms. And has the

405
00:23:47,826 --> 00:23:53,365
one that is really 
I was in the early he need to

406
00:23:53,465 --> 00:23:58,003
come rejuvenate 
and it offers a nice pop of

407
00:23:58,103 --> 00:24:00,839
color to because it has is red 
flowers. Is also really good for

408
00:24:00,939 --> 00:24:02,841
hummingbirds and for 
butterflies. Now this when you

409
00:24:02,941 --> 00:24:06,545
said is pretty adaptable it is 
yeah so and it doesn't get very

410
00:24:06,645 --> 00:24:09,347
tall so it's a nice one to kind 
of you can group together you

411
00:24:09,448 --> 00:24:12,317
can 
and sometimes it helps to track

412
00:24:12,417 --> 00:24:15,887
the pollinators I guess if the 
final round of the goodness of

413
00:24:15,987 --> 00:24:18,924
options okay and then this will 
also is continuing

414
00:24:19,024 --> 00:24:22,494
to set last year the one that 
you planted in your yard

415
00:24:22,594 --> 00:24:26,965
was [moaning] yeah so they start 
but don't be don't be surprised

416
00:24:27,065 --> 00:24:29,734
when this is one of the 
milkweed yes Sir this is rob

417
00:24:29,835 --> 00:24:34,539
mills lane it does like a lot 
of water but you can do that so

418
00:24:34,639 --> 00:24:37,275
if you get a lot of rain this 
will shoot up it produces a

419
00:24:37,375 --> 00:24:40,045
woody stems about an inch and a 
half in diameter and then it

420
00:24:40,145 --> 00:24:43,348
has those beautiful milk we 
flowers I've seen hummingbirds

421
00:24:43,448 --> 00:24:45,684
on this but it's really great 
as a food source for monarch

422
00:24:45,784 --> 00:24:48,453
caterpillars I was really 
excited last year my first

423
00:24:48,553 --> 00:24:50,989
you're going this I had twenty 
six monarch caterpillars on

424
00:24:51,089 --> 00:24:59,130
this planet that is really 
but I'm completely easy and I'm

425
00:24:59,231 --> 00:25:02,100
established will come once yes 
absolutely and so that would be

426
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,403
someone stay so you know where 
the planet

427
00:25:05,504 --> 00:25:07,739
yeah and then and then you just 
turn that off and then you have

428
00:25:07,839 --> 00:25:10,876
your new plan okay okay and 
then this one has already you

429
00:25:10,976 --> 00:25:14,045
can see the flowers that are 
there yes. And this is just my

430
00:25:14,145 --> 00:25:17,682
own plant but just this report 
in every garden absolutely I

431
00:25:17,782 --> 00:25:19,918
love this one it has an 
interesting work you can use as

432
00:25:20,018 --> 00:25:23,154
an ornamental but has is really 
pretty clusters of white

433
00:25:23,255 --> 00:25:25,156
flowers this is a yeah this is 
a R.

434
00:25:25,257 --> 00:25:26,458
I. 
yes ma'am and this is good for

435
00:25:26,558 --> 00:25:30,095
native bees so we have a lot of 
native species of bees not

436
00:25:30,195 --> 00:25:32,831
necessarily honey producing but 
so important pollinators and

437
00:25:32,931 --> 00:25:34,733
the native bees are interesting 
and that most of them a

438
00:25:34,833 --> 00:25:38,603
solitary and so even though you 
might find an area sometimes it

439
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:41,806
in the ground with a little 
nest they're not aggressive at

440
00:25:41,907 --> 00:25:44,142
all because they're not trying 
to defend the college actually

441
00:25:44,242 --> 00:25:48,647
he got it so don't be afraid of 
me no no no no George

442
00:25:48,747 --> 00:25:52,250
in your garden 
and then this to me because

443
00:25:52,350 --> 00:25:54,553
when you bought into the 
flowers open and even at the

444
00:25:54,653 --> 00:25:57,989
bright lights of the studio it 
has its own internal clock yes

445
00:25:58,089 --> 00:26:00,692
because it's fun yeah close up 
a little bit so this is the

446
00:26:00,792 --> 00:26:04,563
Stokes ask so this is quite a 
lot of the answers are farmers

447
00:26:04,663 --> 00:26:07,432
but this actually blooms all 
through the summer which is

448
00:26:07,532 --> 00:26:10,702
really as a really long bloom 
time has these beautiful purple

449
00:26:10,802 --> 00:26:14,205
flowers which I love in really 
great for pollinators and

450
00:26:14,306 --> 00:26:16,575
butterflies but in the coverage 
is very handsome is just an

451
00:26:16,675 --> 00:26:19,644
overall handsome 
it's got one of Italy's it's

452
00:26:19,744 --> 00:26:23,381
just really nice to look very 
attractive easy as pie easier

453
00:26:23,481 --> 00:26:26,851
is easy but just go to sleep at 
night that's right and then

454
00:26:26,952 --> 00:26:29,521
over here we have one of those 
wonderful colorful verbena I

455
00:26:29,621 --> 00:26:33,725
know I love this so much this 
is a native verbena the rose

456
00:26:33,825 --> 00:26:36,361
vervain we were talking earlier 
about the need to strangers is

457
00:26:36,461 --> 00:26:39,864
been fun but this one is great 
really great for hummingbirds

458
00:26:39,965 --> 00:26:42,734
and butterflies okay the reason 
why I like it though is great

459
00:26:42,834 --> 00:26:45,670
ground cover because it's 
creeping and it kind of forms

460
00:26:45,770 --> 00:26:48,740
these dense mats so what kind 
of creep over which I really

461
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,209
like she can have it on the 
ground but I've also put it up

462
00:26:51,309 --> 00:26:54,212
in boxes and it creeps over 
pretty it's very pretty and so

463
00:26:54,312 --> 00:26:57,248
it's got a little too far which 
is perfect for those poor #*#*#*#*

464
00:26:57,349 --> 00:27:00,251
absolutely going to get that 
nectar now and we have somebody

465
00:27:00,352 --> 00:27:03,388
who does not have colorful 
flowers now but it's a very

466
00:27:03,488 --> 00:27:06,758
important part of our native 
community absolutely so this is

467
00:27:06,858 --> 00:27:10,996
a wax myrtle. This is one of my 
favorite native smaller trees.

468
00:27:11,096 --> 00:27:14,499
It is has a lot of benefits. So 
in the winter time the female

469
00:27:14,599 --> 00:27:17,769
plants produce a blue gray 
berry. Which is really great

470
00:27:17,869 --> 00:27:22,641
for bird species unisource at 
the bayberry candle right some

471
00:27:22,741 --> 00:27:26,144
colonial times down there 
Waxman

472
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,481
so they're not those down on 
also has a lot of insects so

473
00:27:29,581 --> 00:27:32,384
the around one fees on this in 
the winter time which is great

474
00:27:32,484 --> 00:27:35,987
has a spicy fragrant leaves 
this is really good for habitat

475
00:27:36,087 --> 00:27:39,858
restoration creating screens 
and hedges and also this plan

476
00:27:39,958 --> 00:27:45,030
can get big I've seen him use 
like from the live oak trees

477
00:27:45,130 --> 00:27:48,833
that way they also respond my 
nicely to being cut back did you

478
00:27:48,933 --> 00:27:52,604
fill out there now some 
selections that are smaller

479
00:27:52,704 --> 00:27:53,605
they're perfect for 
smaller yards.

480
00:27:53,705 --> 00:27:54,939
Absolutely I'm just 
not getting to a

481
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,376
minimum and just in the flames 
of a fragrance is

482
00:27:58,476 --> 00:28:01,579
just a a wonderful plant that 
really as you said is important

483
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,416
for wildlife like the many 
different events yeah well I'm

484
00:28:04,516 --> 00:28:07,085
so this Saturday what time of 
things going to get going down

485
00:28:07,185 --> 00:28:10,588
there. So they go in at nine AM 
SO runs from nine AM to three

486
00:28:10,689 --> 00:28:14,292
PM. Okay and then there's a 
young have a big part there

487
00:28:14,392 --> 00:28:17,762
lots of places to walk into 
the US are causing people to

488
00:28:17,862 --> 00:28:20,465
come out enjoyed the 
presentations we have and then

489
00:28:20,565 --> 00:28:23,435
we have like I said a two 
hundred acre park. So we we have

490
00:28:23,535 --> 00:28:26,805
four miles of trails and 
boardwalks.

491
00:28:26,905 --> 00:28:29,374
It's a beautiful place so come 
enjoy it. And so if it's going

492
00:28:29,474 --> 00:28:32,310
to be a dreary day it should 
not keeping people away or you

493
00:28:32,410 --> 00:28:35,714
on things can be an asset most 
of the plant festival activities

494
00:28:35,814 --> 00:28:39,250
will be inside the interpreter 
center. Okay so either way

495
00:28:39,350 --> 00:28:43,955
yeah absolutely shine. route it 
ad deals to sanity canal

496
00:28:44,055 --> 00:28:46,357
well we are so happy that you 
came to telling so much for

497
00:28:46,458 --> 00:28:50,695
having us. Now we check back 
with Terasa.

498
00:28:50,795 --> 00:28:53,765
We just heard a lot about 
native plants the opposite

499
00:28:53,865 --> 00:28:59,003
would be a non native plant now 
not all non natives are bad.

500
00:28:59,104 --> 00:29:02,807
However some non natives have 
the potential to be extremely

501
00:29:02,907 --> 00:29:06,644
invasive and they do when I so 
we say they take over the world.

502
00:29:06,745 --> 00:29:10,582
We happen to see one such 
plant in Williamson park this

503
00:29:10,682 --> 00:29:14,619
past weekend I just shared this 
photo in the chat room. Now

504
00:29:14,719 --> 00:29:18,690
first looks you'd probably say 
that is a magnificent looking

505
00:29:18,790 --> 00:29:22,794
flower and indeed it is but be 
aware all that glitters is not

506
00:29:22,894 --> 00:29:27,098
gold. Like the proverb says so 
this is called the yellow flag

507
00:29:27,198 --> 00:29:31,669
iris. It's known by the 
scientific name iris suit a

508
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:35,707
chorus and it is non native to 
the United States. It is fast

509
00:29:35,807 --> 00:29:39,210
growing fast spreading and 
there you can see the entire

510
00:29:39,310 --> 00:29:43,348
plant where we had picked it as 
so it's laying on a flat on the

511
00:29:43,448 --> 00:29:47,685
boardwalk, but it will 
outcompete other wetland plants

512
00:29:47,786 --> 00:29:52,223
forming almost an impenetrable 
thicket. So bewear this is

513
00:29:52,323 --> 00:29:57,028
often available in the trade we 
have a beautiful native species

514
00:29:57,128 --> 00:30:00,532
with sort of a lie what color 
the blue flag iris Iris

515
00:30:00,632 --> 00:30:04,302
virginica so make sure you do 
your duty before purchasing any

516
00:30:04,402 --> 00:30:07,939
plants and be sure not to 
install anything that might be

517
00:30:08,039 --> 00:30:10,375
invasive. There are lots of 
resources out there through

518
00:30:10,475 --> 00:30:13,711
Clemson and through the South 
Carolina exotic plant past

519
00:30:13,812 --> 00:30:19,984
council as well. Now let's go 
back to Tony, Amanda and Jackie.

520
00:30:20,084 --> 00:30:24,055
A lot of times people will give 
you things that multiply

521
00:30:24,155 --> 00:30:27,025
unpleasantly and Tony I think 
that's probably what happened

522
00:30:27,125 --> 00:30:29,794
here looks like you've got some 
of that Iris pseudacorus with

523
00:30:29,894 --> 00:30:34,933
you has tried that someone gave 
me some one time and way

524
00:30:35,033 --> 00:30:40,638
back long time ago it it became 
a thick mass of roots.

525
00:30:40,738 --> 00:30:44,876
Down in my little pond and 
I had time getting it

526
00:30:44,976 --> 00:30:49,380
out. It was bigger these desks. 
yes I hooked a chain into it to

527
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,651
pull it out with my truck. No! 
To get it out of my pond.

528
00:30:53,751 --> 00:30:57,055
and so you saw this in in place 
where it shouldn't have been and

529
00:30:57,155 --> 00:31:00,859
we hope that those people will 
also quickly decide and learn

530
00:31:00,959 --> 00:31:03,461
that this is not something we 
want to promote. Don't make my

531
00:31:03,561 --> 00:31:07,232
mistake and as we said the blue 
flag would just be a perfect

532
00:31:07,332 --> 00:31:10,268
venue so that's native and not 
going to take over the world.

533
00:31:10,368 --> 00:31:13,238
Okay. Harold is calling us from 
Pacolet.Hello Harold

534
00:31:13,338 --> 00:31:16,407
we're delighted to hear 
from you.

535
00:31:16,507 --> 00:31:19,878
Hello. Hey how are you what's 
your question.

536
00:31:19,978 --> 00:31:23,848
I'm doing great I enjoy your 
show. Well thank you.

537
00:31:23,948 --> 00:31:27,752
I have a wife that has a 
beautiful flower bed. But I'm

538
00:31:27,852 --> 00:31:33,191
having problem with grass. I put 
mulch out. Are they some kind of

539
00:31:33,291 --> 00:31:35,894
stuff I can spray to help kill 
it? I don't want to kill them

540
00:31:35,994 --> 00:31:38,897
flowers or I'm gonna have to 
leave the house. We don't want

541
00:31:38,997 --> 00:31:42,700
you to have to live on bologna 
sandwiches the rest of your

542
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,804
life yeah she's got you know and 
sometimes that kind of native

543
00:31:46,905 --> 00:31:50,608
I call it wiregrass that 
Bermuda grass gets involved it's

544
00:31:50,708 --> 00:31:54,012
it is hard to get rid of. What 
can he do besides just

545
00:31:54,112 --> 00:31:58,783
put mulch down Jackie? Could you 
put down several

546
00:31:58,883 --> 00:32:02,186
sheets of newspaper under the 
mulch perhaps or something like

547
00:32:02,287 --> 00:32:06,691
that that may be able 
to suppress a

548
00:32:06,791 --> 00:32:10,128
little bit but wiregrass is 
got to it's going to come

549
00:32:10,228 --> 00:32:13,798
back. It's aggressive. In any 
chemical that you use is only

550
00:32:13,898 --> 00:32:18,536
going to suppress it. You're not 
ever gonna eradicated, and even

551
00:32:18,636 --> 00:32:21,973
chemical applications you are 
coming in your applying it once

552
00:32:22,073 --> 00:32:24,409
every thirty days just to try 
and knock it back. to what we

553
00:32:24,509 --> 00:32:28,046
need if it is why Chris is bad 
I would definitely make sure

554
00:32:28,146 --> 00:32:31,316
that I'm keeping at least three 
inches of mulch

555
00:32:31,416 --> 00:32:35,720
to try to shaded out. 
I would just go in there and

556
00:32:35,820 --> 00:32:40,692
try to mechanically remove as 
much as I can. Yeah

557
00:32:40,792 --> 00:32:45,463
And then they do make sponge 
applicators that can be where

558
00:32:45,563 --> 00:32:48,333
you can just take the sponge 
applicator put it directly onto

559
00:32:48,433 --> 00:32:52,103
the weed itself and so you know 
it is a brain okay so that

560
00:32:52,203 --> 00:32:54,739
would be the better way to save 
and protect the flowers now if

561
00:32:54,839 --> 00:32:58,443
you've got lawn near by does 
it sometimes help me put some

562
00:32:58,543 --> 00:33:03,014
of those kind of metal edge rims 
around to keep grass is rooms

563
00:33:03,114 --> 00:33:06,551
running in and it's a long the 
bad so if you could help as

564
00:33:06,651 --> 00:33:10,655
well okay well we hope that you 
can have a happy wife and a

565
00:33:10,755 --> 00:33:16,894
delicious supper every night. 
Okay. Tony about thank you grab

566
00:33:16,995 --> 00:33:20,064
it out in your yard several 
things today to share with us

567
00:33:20,164 --> 00:33:22,934
and we had talked about things 
to take over the world. There's

568
00:33:23,034 --> 00:33:26,637
another one. It is fixing to 
flower. it smells so

569
00:33:26,738 --> 00:33:30,041
wonderful when it flowers and 
all. Just like wisteria

570
00:33:30,141 --> 00:33:35,413
right, it does but it is one of 
the worst weeds that we've had

571
00:33:35,513 --> 00:33:39,283
this is privet or ligustrum. 
This is a curly leaf. The

572
00:33:39,384 --> 00:33:43,388
point there's also literally 
porn that it just takes a little

573
00:33:43,488 --> 00:33:46,290
while to mandate is hard to kill 
is taking over our woods.

574
00:33:46,391 --> 00:33:49,894
lives and it's the same group 
as privet. Privet is a

575
00:33:49,994 --> 00:33:53,865
Ligustrum as well and they just 
smell wonderful and people plant

576
00:33:53,965 --> 00:33:58,369
it but they the seeds just go 
everywhere. The birds

577
00:33:58,469 --> 00:34:02,907
take and spread a over. 
Our forest and I think Tony

578
00:34:03,007 --> 00:34:05,910
you and I've talked about the 
fact that since these are

579
00:34:06,010 --> 00:34:09,947
evergreen when they get down in 
the swampy areas where so many

580
00:34:10,048 --> 00:34:13,818
specialized native plants live 
they can out compete those

581
00:34:13,918 --> 00:34:16,954
because the green all year. 
That's right they shade them

582
00:34:17,055 --> 00:34:20,324
out. It just takes over. 
If you have that. This is a good

583
00:34:20,425 --> 00:34:23,694
plant to really set your mind on 
and you can see them right now

584
00:34:23,795 --> 00:34:27,098
Jack. Is a good time to identify 
and get rid of them.

585
00:34:27,198 --> 00:34:30,535
Don't you think? I do it it is a 
good time you know. Plant some

586
00:34:30,635 --> 00:34:33,137
natives like wax myrtles. 
instead. They'er go yeah and

587
00:34:33,237 --> 00:34:36,674
sometimes if you can't dig 
something out I cut

588
00:34:36,774 --> 00:34:40,278
it and then used in the pros 
approved Glyphosate it says

589
00:34:40,378 --> 00:34:43,414
you can use that cut stump. 
thing is you talked about with

590
00:34:43,514 --> 00:34:46,384
the little brushes that so I 
think that you could do? You can

591
00:34:46,484 --> 00:34:49,187
as long as you do it within the 
first fifteen minutes after

592
00:34:49,287 --> 00:34:52,557
cutting it can be fairly 
effective. Now that's gonna work

593
00:34:52,657 --> 00:34:55,226
in two ways because you remove 
so much of the top that

594
00:34:55,326 --> 00:34:59,530
you take out a reserve energy 
yeah to resprout and you just

595
00:34:59,630 --> 00:35:03,835
you have to do it a few times. I 
won't just be once but it can be

596
00:35:03,935 --> 00:35:07,105
fairly but they can be so big 
you can't really put a chain to

597
00:35:07,205 --> 00:35:09,574
like Tony I am yeah I don't 
have a chain and I don't have a

598
00:35:09,674 --> 00:35:12,877
truck sometimes for us this is 
the way we can help control

599
00:35:12,977 --> 00:35:16,147
things that we see in our thank 
you thanks for sharing that

600
00:35:16,247 --> 00:35:18,883
with us. Diana's is calling us 
from Charlotte. We are

601
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:23,087
happy to you Diane from the 
queen city up there you sure

602
00:35:23,187 --> 00:35:25,790
live in a beautiful place and 
is there something we can do to

603
00:35:25,890 --> 00:35:28,860
make your yard more beautiful 
for you?

604
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:33,464
Well yes you can. I am having an 
ongoing battle with aphids on

605
00:35:33,564 --> 00:35:39,070
my combine and I've had this 
every year and I tried doing

606
00:35:39,170 --> 00:35:42,673
I'm trying to I to eradicate 
them using a natural

607
00:35:42,773 --> 00:35:46,644
method I don't want any poisons 
in my garden so what's

608
00:35:46,744 --> 00:35:49,847
not working for me is 
spraying them off with a you

609
00:35:49,947 --> 00:35:53,584
know like a stream of water. But 
what does your panel think

610
00:35:53,684 --> 00:36:02,393
about bringing in baby 
beetles

611
00:36:02,493 --> 00:36:05,463
lady birds or praying 
mantis into the garden. I I've

612
00:36:05,563 --> 00:36:08,666
heard pros and cons and I just 
want to get your panels thoughts

613
00:36:08,766 --> 00:36:11,502
on it. Well Tony I'll let you 
hit this

614
00:36:11,602 --> 00:36:14,839
one for us. The lady beetles are 
great. They do feed on

615
00:36:14,939 --> 00:36:18,709
aphids but then they go to 
everybody else's yard so that's

616
00:36:18,809 --> 00:36:21,579
that is hard to box them in. You 
can't keep them there.

617
00:36:21,679 --> 00:36:24,382
and they are they

618
00:36:24,482 --> 00:36:28,052
are a lot of already out there 
they are yeah yeah Asian

619
00:36:28,152 --> 00:36:30,788
ladybird beetles they're all 
over the place and they're

620
00:36:30,888 --> 00:36:36,460
feeding on them. I would suggest 
using on insecticidal soap and

621
00:36:36,561 --> 00:36:39,630
which is a natural product 
that you are organic product

622
00:36:39,730 --> 00:36:43,034
you can spray on. Those 
soft body the insects what it

623
00:36:43,134 --> 00:36:46,070
does is kind of like your hands. 
When you wash your hands too

624
00:36:46,170 --> 00:36:50,141
much and they start cracking 
well it does the same thing

625
00:36:50,241 --> 00:36:53,511
the outside of those aphids and 
causes and cracking and kind of

626
00:36:53,611 --> 00:36:56,480
bleed to death. And Jackie even 
or something like that that's

627
00:36:56,581 --> 00:36:59,183
organic and sounds like you 
always do need to read the

628
00:36:59,283 --> 00:37:02,119
label because if you get too 
much of that on a plant you can

629
00:37:02,220 --> 00:37:05,156
even sometimes they can be 
taught can cause reactions in

630
00:37:05,256 --> 00:37:07,992
the plant as well and it can it? 
It can and then you know they're

631
00:37:08,092 --> 00:37:11,963
also different plants that can 
be put in the yard to help keep

632
00:37:12,063 --> 00:37:15,833
the lady beetles in the yard. 
Because when there aren't any

633
00:37:15,933 --> 00:37:19,570
aphids to eat there sometime 
feed on pollen so yes some of

634
00:37:19,670 --> 00:37:21,939
those different plants are 
available now factsheets on

635
00:37:22,039 --> 00:37:24,508
that as well. Okay I didn't 
realize that there was some

636
00:37:24,609 --> 00:37:28,179
other plants you can keep that 
SO keep having those plants will

637
00:37:28,279 --> 00:37:31,882
help keep them in her yard. 
Okay. Like a host plant but a

638
00:37:31,983 --> 00:37:37,421
new way yeah yeah that's cool. 
Thank you. Thanks for telling us

639
00:37:37,521 --> 00:37:40,591
that. Okay, let's go Terasa and 
see what see what new she has

640
00:37:40,691 --> 00:37:44,629
from the chaplain for us. 
Thanks Amanda. Well I'm lucky at

641
00:37:44,729 --> 00:37:47,665
one of our fellow horticulture 
agents Chase Smoak has joined

642
00:37:47,765 --> 00:37:51,135
us and he reports that he 
thinks he's found a state

643
00:37:51,235 --> 00:37:54,839
champion Florida betony. so I 
think we were talking about

644
00:37:54,939 --> 00:37:58,709
this last week. Here you can see 
the Florida many this is a a

645
00:37:58,809 --> 00:38:01,579
pretty obnoxious weed. Not 
something you really want to

646
00:38:01,679 --> 00:38:06,817
find in your yard. But it's 
about as big as that shovel and

647
00:38:06,917 --> 00:38:09,887
what you can't see is the 
tuber and he did say that he

648
00:38:09,987 --> 00:38:14,692
was able to remove that it's 
just that he broke it off and

649
00:38:14,792 --> 00:38:19,263
it went into the trash can. So 
we've been talking a little bit

650
00:38:19,363 --> 00:38:23,434
about that someone also asked 
about English IVE and so English

651
00:38:23,534 --> 00:38:27,204
ivy is another one of those non 
native invasive plants we do

652
00:38:27,305 --> 00:38:32,743
have a fact sheet about it not 
only can it to climb up trees

653
00:38:32,843 --> 00:38:36,847
and potentially you know 
smother them it can also damage

654
00:38:36,947 --> 00:38:39,884
the Text is probably too small 
for you to see but if you allow

655
00:38:39,984 --> 00:38:42,920
it to grow up the side of a 
home. Those Ariel rootlets

656
00:38:43,020 --> 00:38:46,524
can damage the stucco or the 
wood or mortar and brick

657
00:38:46,624 --> 00:38:50,494
homes it can trap moisture 
which can also be a problem

658
00:38:50,594 --> 00:38:54,098
and that dense foliage is a 
haven for insects and small

659
00:38:54,198 --> 00:38:57,568
animals so. I hate to be the 
bearer of bad news I feel like

660
00:38:57,668 --> 00:39:00,338
with all this invasive talk. 
we're kind of all like doom and

661
00:39:00,438 --> 00:39:03,407
gloom but the good news is 
we have lots of resources to

662
00:39:03,507 --> 00:39:06,544
help you if you do happen to 
have invasive plants in your

663
00:39:06,644 --> 00:39:09,480
yard. And still have time left 
so feel free to join me in the

664
00:39:09,580 --> 00:39:13,818
chat room. Amanda back to you. 
Well and knowledge is power

665
00:39:13,918 --> 00:39:17,788
there a lot of you know they 
these things are still sold and

666
00:39:17,888 --> 00:39:21,525
I'm so if you want to use some 
people like to use Ivy in

667
00:39:21,625 --> 00:39:24,795
containers but if you do that 
usually container at the end of

668
00:39:24,895 --> 00:39:28,265
that season you must 
wrap it up and throw it away

669
00:39:28,366 --> 00:39:30,334
and not just you know and 
you've got to make sure that

670
00:39:30,434 --> 00:39:33,003
you really eradicate it I'm 
don't just you know what's

671
00:39:33,104 --> 00:39:35,573
being said there I have some 
ivy in a container and I

672
00:39:35,673 --> 00:39:38,409
really pay a lot of attention to 
it because if I don't the next

673
00:39:38,509 --> 00:39:41,746
thing I know it's you know 
scattered around and every

674
00:39:41,846 --> 00:39:44,582
year. I am older it's been a 
great shot to find out that

675
00:39:44,682 --> 00:39:46,851
that's happening and it makes it 
harder and harder to keep up

676
00:39:46,951 --> 00:39:49,620
with things in the yard. So this 
is probably a good at a good

677
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:52,623
thank you Terasa of reminding 
us of things like that because

678
00:39:52,723 --> 00:39:54,625
it every year we should 
probably go out and say you

679
00:39:54,725 --> 00:39:57,328
know I'm going to make sure 
that one of the things I've got

680
00:39:57,428 --> 00:39:59,897
my yard don't become a problem 
I'm gonna go ahead and get rid

681
00:39:59,997 --> 00:40:03,267
of it right now. Okay, Melanie 
is calling us from Sumter. Good

682
00:40:03,367 --> 00:40:05,770
to have a local call okay 
everything's doing fine with

683
00:40:05,870 --> 00:40:07,872
you, but is there something we 
might be able to give you some

684
00:40:07,972 --> 00:40:14,111
help with? 
yes I have some regular or

685
00:40:14,211 --> 00:40:18,783
banana trees in my yard and 
they come back every spring, but

686
00:40:18,883 --> 00:40:23,521
was curious about the red banana 
That I'm seeing out there

687
00:40:23,621 --> 00:40:27,825
is is that tropical to come 
back on its own every spring

688
00:40:27,925 --> 00:40:32,029
here this planted out in the 
yard. Okay,

689
00:40:32,129 --> 00:40:36,367
That's a good one. 
I have not had any luck

690
00:40:36,467 --> 00:40:39,236
with that coming back. 
I haven't used it in a couple

691
00:40:39,336 --> 00:40:44,074
years and things are different 
now I mean it's a real cold

692
00:40:44,175 --> 00:40:46,710
and the only place I've 
ever seen it be successful

693
00:40:46,811 --> 00:40:49,780
come back perennial is at River 
Bank Zoo where they have that

694
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:53,617
warmer microclimate. Yeah, they 
say that it comes back for them

695
00:40:53,717 --> 00:40:56,720
that it is not come back yeah 
but I'm gonna say they're not

696
00:40:56,821 --> 00:40:59,490
expensive no they're not and 
then you got it I mean last

697
00:40:59,590 --> 00:41:04,228
year we do have a frost thanks 
I mean so for fourteen dollars

698
00:41:04,328 --> 00:41:09,166
you can have a really dynamite 
focal piece and and bear with

699
00:41:09,266 --> 00:41:12,937
me and I think that's worth 
doing. The way we used to have

700
00:41:13,037 --> 00:41:14,939
to do bananas is dig them up 
and wrap em

701
00:41:15,039 --> 00:41:17,641
up throw them under the house 
and take them out next

702
00:41:17,741 --> 00:41:21,145
year yeah and that that 
works to you know where

703
00:41:21,245 --> 00:41:23,848
you can go home yeah she could 
try that if she's got a good

704
00:41:23,948 --> 00:41:26,517
crawl space in the house but 
again I mean when you think

705
00:41:26,617 --> 00:41:29,787
about the bang for your Buck 
that is less than going to the

706
00:41:29,887 --> 00:41:33,123
movie with you with your own 
band but this pop some popcorn

707
00:41:33,224 --> 00:41:38,529
he's a lot better use. Tony what

708
00:41:38,629 --> 00:41:41,532
else you got over there to show 
us today? Okay

709
00:41:41,632 --> 00:41:44,301
We gOt all kind of little 
things I want to >< talk about

710
00:41:44,401 --> 00:41:47,771
what you bought for me I think 
you got a present for me

711
00:41:47,872 --> 00:41:52,376
got to love >< okay and a lot of 
people. You know. Love

712
00:41:52,476 --> 00:41:56,113
confederate roses and I do too, 
and I

713
00:41:56,213 --> 00:42:00,751
got old timey confederate rose. 
I brought it one day in

714
00:42:00,851 --> 00:42:03,554
the fall you know it's a fall 
plant in it produces be it'll

715
00:42:03,654 --> 00:42:08,259
just like cotton in the fall is 
a Hibiscus is good is unhappy is

716
00:42:08,359 --> 00:42:11,762
Hibiscus family out I'd say the 
Hibiscus you can eat that's

717
00:42:11,862 --> 00:42:17,835
okra, you look at this, this one 
and cotton you can wear. Yeah

718
00:42:17,935 --> 00:42:22,907
and so this is [stammers] 
I just the easy thing in the

719
00:42:23,007 --> 00:42:27,378
world to to root all I did was 
cut some of the stems off

720
00:42:27,478 --> 00:42:31,482
in the fall. This same size than 
here in is stuck in this pot

721
00:42:31,582 --> 00:42:34,451
watered it, and now it's 
growing. Did you keep

722
00:42:34,552 --> 00:42:37,688
it in the in the garage under 
the carport? I had it in my

723
00:42:37,788 --> 00:42:40,591
greenhouse I do have a little 
green and now you can keep it

724
00:42:40,691 --> 00:42:44,795
in your garage you just want to 
keep it moist. Okay

725
00:42:44,895 --> 00:42:48,799
or either in the sun room or 
whatever. Okay, and this is

726
00:42:48,899 --> 00:42:51,635
the single and you know Jackie 
a lot of times i think the

727
00:42:51,735 --> 00:42:56,473
single flowers are prettier 
don't you? Yeah. This one stays

728
00:42:56,574 --> 00:43:00,744
that bright pink that deep pink. 
listen little component okay

729
00:43:00,844 --> 00:43:03,681
in what of a part of the state 
you're in. I bet you there's a

730

shopping to find unusual gifts

759
00:48:18,795 --> 00:48:21,231
we always like to find the 
unusual well I was out says

760
00:48:21,331 --> 00:48:23,533
we're having a native plant 
since Kristian was coming I

761
00:48:23,634 --> 00:48:27,004
was trying to think of things I 
have some flocks that I got

762
00:48:27,104 --> 00:48:29,806
from Daniel Pain down in 
Beaufort. I can't remember the

763
00:48:29,907 --> 00:48:32,376
name I've I've had a little tag 
that it washed off but as a

764
00:48:32,476 --> 00:48:35,946
native fox I've got to Tulip 
poplars I've got

765
00:48:36,046 --> 00:48:38,649
on which is a 
wonderful plant that's the

766
00:48:38,749 --> 00:48:42,319
yellow one the yellow lagume. 
I've got blood

767
00:48:42,419 --> 00:48:44,721
root which is I'm just the 
most beautiful leaf in the

768
00:48:44,821 --> 00:48:48,325
world a little on Matt Niskanen 
but I'm going fine in my yard

769
00:48:48,425 --> 00:48:51,495
and then I've got a native 
clematis let me take it off and

770
00:48:51,595 --> 00:48:55,532
I'll show you where that is so 
this is the blood root that

771
00:48:55,632 --> 00:48:59,436
this is the green part and it 
has a beautiful little flower

772
00:48:59,536 --> 00:49:03,707
and if you dig it up and moving 
it over when it comes to the

773
00:49:03,807 --> 00:49:08,178
back of the leaf is beautiful 
it has a red storage organ and

774
00:49:08,278 --> 00:49:12,916
this is a native clematis then 
I got on my husband's farm

775
00:49:13,016 --> 00:49:16,820
called leather leaf and just 
make magnificent and I'm I

776
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,656
think it's available in the 
trade he managed to look for

777
00:49:19,756 --> 00:49:22,559
perfectly beautiful in that the 
sweetest little thing and it

778
00:49:22,659 --> 00:49:25,295
looks so Victorian to be native. 
done and you know you think of

to help you.

786
00:49:49,286 --> 00:49:54,057
Yes ma'am. Hello yeah 
we're doing well I hope you're

787
00:49:54,157 --> 00:49:59,963
doing well. 
I've got so been replaceing deck

788
00:50:00,063 --> 00:50:04,334
railings. On my decks 
yeah I'm having problems with

789
00:50:04,434 --> 00:50:08,105
carpeter bees boaring into them. 
Bumble bee looking things.

790
00:50:08,205 --> 00:50:13,176
what can i do for it? Okay, I've 
heard that they um.

791
00:50:13,276 --> 00:50:16,346
Put your hands up 
we sometimes you look like you

792
00:50:16,446 --> 00:50:21,151
got clear nail Polish on 
and after that they like that

793
00:50:21,251 --> 00:50:24,254
they don't like that but they 
don't like paint right an oil

794
00:50:24,354 --> 00:50:27,424
base paint is less white again 
so so you need to get down

795
00:50:27,524 --> 00:50:30,627
underneath and paint the 
undersides of those railings

796
00:50:30,727 --> 00:50:34,364
that usually people leave is 
that what it is okay and that

797
00:50:34,464 --> 00:50:37,768
the best thing. The best thing 
this listing on and then they

798
00:50:37,868 --> 00:50:42,272
go to your neighbors. 
yeah but he.

799
00:50:42,372 --> 00:50:45,042
but that's because they 
like it so if

800
00:50:45,142 --> 00:50:48,178
you've got a good solid coating 
on the wood that that

801
00:50:48,278 --> 00:50:51,815
dissuades them. It does okay 
yeah and they're not the worst

802
00:50:51,915 --> 00:50:53,784
thing in the world but if you 
get a lot of and it can make a

803
00:50:53,884 --> 00:50:58,789
mess they can can can so yeah 
so we hope Ed that if you

804
00:50:58,889 --> 00:51:02,325
can do that if you just have to 
bend over or allowed in a pain

805
00:51:02,426 --> 00:51:05,295
upside down 
is it is kind of a nuisance but

806
00:51:05,395 --> 00:51:09,366
that really ought to help you a 
lot if you try it that way.
