1
00:00:08,108 --> 00:00:09,676
THE LAZY DAYS OF SUMMER--
2
00:00:09,743 --> 00:00:12,446
TIME TO ENJOY THE FRUITS
AND FLOWERS OF OUR LABORS.
3
00:00:12,513 --> 00:00:15,516
IT'S A GREAT TIME OF YEAR
TO SIT BACK AND RELAX A LITTLE.
4
00:00:15,582 --> 00:00:17,951
WELL, NOT REALLY.
NOT IF YOU'RE A GARDENER.
5
00:00:18,018 --> 00:00:19,987
WELCOME TO
THE WISCONSIN GARDENER.
6
00:00:20,053 --> 00:00:21,555
I'M YOUR HOST, SHELLEY RYAN.
7
00:00:21,622 --> 00:00:23,991
TODAY'S PROGRAM FOCUSES
ON THE SUMMER GARDEN
8
00:00:24,057 --> 00:00:25,826
AND SOME
OF THE MANY ACTIVITIES
9
00:00:25,893 --> 00:00:27,928
THAT ARE IDEAL
FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
10
00:00:27,995 --> 00:00:30,430
FOR INSTANCE,
IT'S A GREAT TIME OF YEAR
11
00:00:30,497 --> 00:00:32,499
TO DIG UP
AND DIVIDE YOUR IRIS
12
00:00:32,566 --> 00:00:34,234
AND TO INSPECT THOSE PLANTS
13
00:00:34,301 --> 00:00:37,004
FOR A REAL NASTY PEST
CALLED IRIS BORER.
14
00:00:37,070 --> 00:00:39,773
WE'LL ALSO VISIT
THE UW-MADISON ARBORETUM
15
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,610
TO LOOK AT SOME SHRUBS THAT
BLOOM IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER.
16
00:00:43,677 --> 00:00:45,913
AND POWDERY MILDEW--
WE'LL SHOW YOU WHAT TO DO
17
00:00:45,979 --> 00:00:47,948
IF YOU FIND IT
IN YOUR OWN BACK YARD.
18
00:00:48,015 --> 00:00:49,249
FIRST UP, DAYLILIES.
19
00:00:49,316 --> 00:00:51,385
THEY'VE BEEN CALLED
THE PERFECT PERENNIAL.
20
00:00:51,451 --> 00:00:52,753
WE'LL SHOW YOU WHY.
21
00:00:52,819 --> 00:00:55,956
THAT'S NEXT,
ON THE WISCONSIN GARDENER.
22
00:00:56,023 --> 00:00:58,058
PRODUCTION
OF THE WISCONSIN GARDENER
23
00:00:58,125 --> 00:01:00,160
IS MADE POSSIBLE IN PART
BY FISKARS
24
00:01:00,227 --> 00:01:03,130
A WISCONSIN MANUFACTURER
OF ERGONOMIC CUTTING TOOLS
25
00:01:03,197 --> 00:01:05,933
FOR THE HOME AND GARDEN,
DISTRIBUTED WORLDWIDE;
26
00:01:05,999 --> 00:01:07,601
AND BY THE ARIENS FOUNDATION
27
00:01:07,668 --> 00:01:10,103
THE CHARITABLE ARM
OF THE ARIENS COMPANY
28
00:01:10,170 --> 00:01:11,705
BRILLION, WISCONSIN.
29
00:01:11,772 --> 00:01:14,675
MAKER OF LAWN, GARDEN
AND SNOW REMOVAL EQUIPMENT
30
00:01:14,741 --> 00:01:19,313
FOR CONSUMER AND
COMMERCIAL MARKETS WORLDWIDE.
31
00:01:43,237 --> 00:01:44,571
THE TOPIC IS DAYLILIES.
32
00:01:44,638 --> 00:01:46,573
AND WE'RE AT
THE FIELDS OF GREYSTONE
33
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,375
A DAYLILY FARM
NEAR MUSCODA.
34
00:01:48,442 --> 00:01:50,344
HERE, BILL AND LINDA LEHMAN
35
00:01:50,410 --> 00:01:53,247
GROW OVER 500 VARIETIES
OF DAYLILIES.
36
00:01:53,313 --> 00:01:55,482
THAT'S A LOT OF DAYLILIES.
WHY SO MANY ?
37
00:01:55,549 --> 00:01:56,750
THEY'RE PEST RESISTANT.
38
00:01:56,817 --> 00:01:58,719
THEY'LL GROW
PRACTICALLY ANYWHERE.
39
00:01:58,785 --> 00:02:00,721
ABOVE ALL,
THEY'RE JUST BEAUTIFUL.
40
00:02:00,787 --> 00:02:02,456
IT'S ALMOST
A PERFECT PERENNIAL.
41
00:02:02,523 --> 00:02:04,658
THEY ARE CALLED
THE PERFECT PERENNIAL.
42
00:02:04,725 --> 00:02:07,160
HERE, LET ME SHOW YOU
A MATURE CLUMP, HERE.
43
00:02:07,227 --> 00:02:08,829
THIS IS CALLED A CLUMP.
44
00:02:08,896 --> 00:02:11,198
IT'S MADE UP
OF INDIVIDUAL FANS OR PLANTS.
45
00:02:11,265 --> 00:02:14,601
AND THIS LITTLE THING RIGHT HERE
IS CALLED THE SCAPE OR...
46
00:02:14,668 --> 00:02:16,336
THE FLOWER STALK.
47
00:02:16,603 --> 00:02:18,572
YES,
ALL OF THE ABOVE.
48
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,241
WHY ARE THESE
CALLED DAYLILIES ?
49
00:02:21,308 --> 00:02:23,177
THEY'RE CALLED DAYLILIES
BECAUSE--
50
00:02:23,243 --> 00:02:25,212
AS YOU CAN SEE,
THERE ARE BUDS HERE--
51
00:02:25,279 --> 00:02:27,047
EACH BUD WILL
TURN INTO A FLOWER
52
00:02:27,114 --> 00:02:29,183
AND THAT FLOWER
WILL LAST ONLY ONE DAY.
53
00:02:29,249 --> 00:02:30,484
ONE DAY ?
ONE DAY.
54
00:02:30,551 --> 00:02:33,253
NOW, THIS IS DIFFERENT
THAN OTHER PERENNIALS.
55
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,522
OUR PEONIES
THAT WE HAVE BEHIND US
56
00:02:35,589 --> 00:02:38,559
GOT CAUGHT IN SOME PRETTY SEVERE
WEATHER THIS SPRING.
57
00:02:38,625 --> 00:02:40,761
AND OF COURSE,
EACH STEM OF A PEONY
58
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:42,563
HAS ONE BLOSSOM ON TOP.
59
00:02:42,629 --> 00:02:45,399
THAT GOT THRASHED IN THE RAIN
AND WEATHER THAT WE HAD.
60
00:02:45,465 --> 00:02:47,267
IT ENDED UP
ON THE GROUND.
61
00:02:47,334 --> 00:02:49,469
THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM
FOR DAYLILIES ?
62
00:02:49,536 --> 00:02:52,039
NO, IF WE RUN INTO SEVERE
WEATHER WITH A DAYLILY
63
00:02:52,105 --> 00:02:54,074
YOU GET A WHOLE NEW SET
TOMORROW.
64
00:02:54,141 --> 00:02:56,009
SO, THE BLOOMS TODAY
MIGHT GET HAILED ON
65
00:02:56,076 --> 00:02:57,811
BUT THAT'S NOT THE END
OF ITS BLOOMING.
66
00:02:57,878 --> 00:02:58,946
ABSOLUTELY.
67
00:02:59,012 --> 00:03:00,781
YOU'LL GET A WHOLE
NEW SET TOMORROW.
68
00:03:00,848 --> 00:03:02,549
CONSEQUENTLY,
YOU'LL LOSE A DAY
69
00:03:02,616 --> 00:03:04,952
YOU WON'T LOSE A SEASON,
LIKE WITH THE PEONIES.
70
00:03:05,018 --> 00:03:07,020
WHAT IS THE BLOOM SEASON
OF DAYLILIES ?
71
00:03:07,087 --> 00:03:09,056
THE BLOOM SEASON
IS FOUR TO SIX WEEKS.
72
00:03:09,122 --> 00:03:11,091
AND THAT COVERS
THE BEGINNING OF JULY
73
00:03:11,158 --> 00:03:12,860
ALL THE WAY
INTO SEPTEMBER.
74
00:03:12,926 --> 00:03:14,795
IT'S A NICE BLOOMER
FOR THE SUMMER.
75
00:03:14,862 --> 00:03:15,762
ABSOLUTELY.
76
00:03:15,829 --> 00:03:17,631
IT TAKES UP SOME
OF THE GAPS WE HAVE
77
00:03:17,698 --> 00:03:18,832
IN OUR PERENNIAL BORDERS
78
00:03:18,899 --> 00:03:20,801
WHERE THINGS START
TO FADE A LITTLE BIT
79
00:03:20,868 --> 00:03:23,470
AND WE'RE WAITING
FOR THE FALL PERENNIALS TO COME.
80
00:03:23,537 --> 00:03:25,639
YOU MENTIONED
IT'S FAIRLY LOW-MAINTENANCE
81
00:03:25,706 --> 00:03:27,107
NO DISEASES
AND NO PESTS--
82
00:03:27,174 --> 00:03:28,709
DON'T I HAVE
ANY PROBLEMS ?
83
00:03:28,775 --> 00:03:29,743
VIRTUALLY NONE.
84
00:03:29,810 --> 00:03:31,678
YOU MAY HAVE
A BUG HERE AND THERE.
85
00:03:31,745 --> 00:03:33,747
WE DON'T SPRAY ANYTHING
FOR PESTS HERE.
86
00:03:33,814 --> 00:03:36,116
I WOULDN'T KNOW
WHAT KIND OF SPRAY TO USE.
87
00:03:36,183 --> 00:03:38,151
THIS SURE LOOKS HEALTHY,
CONSIDERING.
88
00:03:38,218 --> 00:03:39,486
ABSOLUTELY.
89
00:03:39,553 --> 00:03:42,022
WHAT KIND OF MAINTENANCE
DO WE DO FOR A DAYLILY ?
90
00:03:42,089 --> 00:03:44,558
WELL, PERIODICALLY,
YOU HAVE TO DIVIDE THE CLUMP.
91
00:03:44,625 --> 00:03:46,827
THEY JUST GET
TOO BIG...
AND CROWDED.
92
00:03:46,894 --> 00:03:48,095
RIGHT,
AND CONGESTED.
93
00:03:48,161 --> 00:03:50,330
AND SO, I WOULD SAY
THAT SIX OR SEVEN YEARS
94
00:03:50,397 --> 00:03:52,332
SOMEWHERE IN THERE
WOULD BE THE NORM.
95
00:03:52,399 --> 00:03:53,767
THE PLANT WILL TELL YOU.
96
00:03:53,834 --> 00:03:55,302
THE BLOOMS
WILL GET SMALLER
97
00:03:55,369 --> 00:03:57,137
AND THERE WON'T BE
QUITE AS MANY.
98
00:03:57,204 --> 00:03:59,606
WHAT TIME OF YEAR
AM I DOING THE DIVISIONS ?
99
00:03:59,673 --> 00:04:01,241
PROBABLY
LATE MAY, EARLY JUNE
100
00:04:01,308 --> 00:04:03,010
OR AFTER
THEY'RE DONE BLOOMING.
101
00:04:03,076 --> 00:04:04,945
IF YOU DO IT
IN EARLY MAY AND JUNE
102
00:04:05,012 --> 00:04:07,681
YOU CAN DIVIDE THE PLANT,
PUT IT BACK IN THE GROUND
103
00:04:07,748 --> 00:04:10,250
AND IT WILL CONTINUE
TO BLOOM THAT SEASON.
104
00:04:10,317 --> 00:04:12,553
TALK ME
THROUGH IT THEN.
105
00:04:13,353 --> 00:04:15,022
LET'S DIG A CLUMP.
106
00:04:17,157 --> 00:04:19,326
WHEN YOU'RE DIGGING,
I CAN'T HELP NOTICING
107
00:04:19,393 --> 00:04:21,361
WHAT KIND OF SOIL
YOU'VE GOT HERE.
108
00:04:21,428 --> 00:04:22,829
THIS LOOKS LIKE CLAY.
109
00:04:22,896 --> 00:04:25,199
YES, GREYSTONE
IS BLESSED WITH CLAY SOIL.
110
00:04:25,265 --> 00:04:27,201
SO, THAT'S OKAY
FOR DAYLILIES ?
111
00:04:27,267 --> 00:04:29,570
YEP, AND ALSO SAND
OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF SOIL
112
00:04:29,636 --> 00:04:31,371
THAT WILL MAKE
THE CARPET DIRTY.
113
00:04:31,438 --> 00:04:32,940
SO, ANYWHERE
IN WISCONSIN.
114
00:04:33,006 --> 00:04:34,441
ANYWHERE
IN WISCONSIN.
115
00:04:34,508 --> 00:04:36,643
OKAY, SHOW ME
HOW TO DO THIS.
116
00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:39,980
I STARTED TO DIVIDE SOME,
I'LL JUST CONTINUE ON.
117
00:04:40,047 --> 00:04:42,850
YOU JUST STICK
MY TRUSTY SCREWDRIVER...
118
00:04:42,916 --> 00:04:44,585
A VERY
HIGH-TECH TOOL.
119
00:04:44,651 --> 00:04:46,153
IN THE CROWN
120
00:04:46,220 --> 00:04:49,790
WHICH IS AT THE JUNCTION
BETWEEN THE GREEN AND THE ROOTS.
121
00:04:49,857 --> 00:04:52,292
YOU JUST GENTLY
PUT IT IN, POKE DOWN
122
00:04:52,359 --> 00:04:55,796
AND THEN YOU CAN JUST
GRADUALLY WORK THE FANS APART.
123
00:04:55,863 --> 00:04:57,965
DO I HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT SCREWING THIS UP ?
124
00:04:58,031 --> 00:05:00,634
IF I'M A BEGINNER,
AM I GOING TO KILL THIS PLANT ?
125
00:05:00,701 --> 00:05:04,204
NO, YOU CAN DAMAGE THESE,
AND RIP THE TOPS OFF.
126
00:05:04,271 --> 00:05:05,939
WE'VE ALL DONE IT.
127
00:05:06,006 --> 00:05:08,642
AND YOU REALLY
CAN'T HURT A DAYLILY.
128
00:05:08,709 --> 00:05:10,444
OKAY.
129
00:05:10,511 --> 00:05:12,279
NOW, WHEN WE
WANT TO RE-PLANT IT
130
00:05:12,346 --> 00:05:13,847
YOU WOULD TAKE SEVERAL--
131
00:05:13,914 --> 00:05:15,315
FOUR OR FIVE,
LET'S SAY--
132
00:05:15,382 --> 00:05:16,750
PUT THEM BACK TOGETHER
133
00:05:16,817 --> 00:05:19,620
AND WE JUST TAKE THEM BACK
AND PUT THEM IN THE GROUND.
134
00:05:19,686 --> 00:05:22,122
IF YOU CAN'T PUT THEM
IN THE GROUND IMMEDIATELY
135
00:05:22,189 --> 00:05:23,490
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
136
00:05:23,557 --> 00:05:26,527
THEY CAN STAY OUT OF THE GROUND
FOR FOUR, FIVE OR SIX WEEKS.
137
00:05:26,593 --> 00:05:28,362
I WOULDN'T
RECOMMEND IT, BUT...
138
00:05:28,428 --> 00:05:29,963
IT'S BEEN DONE.
139
00:05:30,030 --> 00:05:31,732
THE ROOTS
ARE FULL OF WATER
140
00:05:31,798 --> 00:05:34,401
SO THEY CAN STAND
BEING OUT OF THE GROUND.
141
00:05:34,468 --> 00:05:36,069
YOU'VE GOT
500 VARIETIES.
142
00:05:36,136 --> 00:05:38,038
CAN WE LOOK AT
SOME OF THEM ?
143
00:05:38,105 --> 00:05:39,907
SURE CAN, LET'S GO.
144
00:05:41,208 --> 00:05:43,977
THIS IS OUR DIGGING FIELD
FOR OUR CUSTOMERS.
145
00:05:44,044 --> 00:05:46,413
IT'S NOT IN BLOOM
RIGHT NOW, AS YOU CAN SEE
146
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,483
BUT IN A COUPLE WEEKS,
IT WILL JUST BE A SEA OF COLOR.
147
00:05:49,550 --> 00:05:50,517
WHAT COLORS ?
148
00:05:50,584 --> 00:05:52,386
WHAT'S UP WITH DAYLILIES
THESE DAYS ?
149
00:05:52,452 --> 00:05:54,388
YOU CAN FIND
PRETTY MUCH EVERY COLOR
150
00:05:54,454 --> 00:05:55,556
EXCEPT THE COLOR BLUE.
151
00:05:55,622 --> 00:05:57,457
WE'RE GETTING
REAL CLOSE ON THAT.
152
00:05:57,524 --> 00:05:58,625
WE HAVE FLOWERS--
153
00:05:58,692 --> 00:06:00,327
WELL, FOR INSTANCE,
THIS VARIETY
154
00:06:00,394 --> 00:06:01,695
HAS A FLOWER
THIS BIG.
155
00:06:01,762 --> 00:06:03,964
THIS RIGHT OVER HERE
HAS AN EIGHT-INCH FLOWER.
156
00:06:04,031 --> 00:06:05,632
THERE'S HALOS.
157
00:06:05,699 --> 00:06:07,267
THERE'S EDGES.
158
00:06:07,334 --> 00:06:08,001
THERE'S
RUFFLES.
159
00:06:08,068 --> 00:06:08,869
YOU NAME IT
160
00:06:08,936 --> 00:06:10,470
WE CAN FIND IT
IN THIS FIELD.
161
00:06:10,537 --> 00:06:11,905
SO, HOW MANY VARIETIES
162
00:06:11,972 --> 00:06:13,740
ACTUALLY ARE THERE
OF DAYLILIES ?
163
00:06:13,807 --> 00:06:15,142
YOU'LL BE SURPRISED.
164
00:06:15,209 --> 00:06:18,111
THERE ARE OVER 43,000 DIFFERENT
VARIETIES OF DAYLILIES.
165
00:06:18,178 --> 00:06:19,713
AND THEY'RE
ALL HARDY HERE ?
166
00:06:19,780 --> 00:06:21,381
NOT NECESSARILY.
167
00:06:21,448 --> 00:06:24,351
SOME OF THEM ARE GROWN
IN THE SOUTHERN CLIMATE.
168
00:06:24,418 --> 00:06:26,987
AND THOSE ARE REFERRED TO
AS EVERGREENS.
169
00:06:27,054 --> 00:06:29,790
SO, THEY DON'T DO WELL
HERE IN WISCONSIN
170
00:06:29,857 --> 00:06:32,793
WITHOUT SOME REAL SERIOUS
WINTER PROTECTION.
171
00:06:32,860 --> 00:06:34,127
HOW DO I,
AS A GARDENER
172
00:06:34,194 --> 00:06:36,830
MAKE SURE I GET SOMETHING
THAT'S GOING TO THRIVE ?
173
00:06:36,897 --> 00:06:38,332
WELL, HERE AT GREYSTONE
174
00:06:38,398 --> 00:06:40,400
YOU CAN SEE WE GROW
EVERYTHING IN THE GROUND.
175
00:06:40,467 --> 00:06:42,169
WE DON'T BELIEVE
IN GREENHOUSES.
176
00:06:42,236 --> 00:06:44,438
WE THINK THE PLANTS
SHOULD THRIVE ON THEIR OWN
177
00:06:44,505 --> 00:06:45,806
NOT JUST
MERELY SURVIVE.
178
00:06:45,873 --> 00:06:47,407
SO, TRY
TO BUY LOCALLY.
179
00:06:47,474 --> 00:06:49,076
ABSOLUTELY.
180
00:06:49,142 --> 00:06:51,278
WHY DON'T YOU
GRAB A BAG, THERE.
181
00:06:51,345 --> 00:06:53,013
THANK YOU.
182
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,215
BECAUSE NOBODY
LEAVES GREYSTONE
183
00:06:55,282 --> 00:06:57,184
WITHOUT
A NICE DAYLILY.
184
00:06:57,251 --> 00:06:59,286
THIS IS HOW
YOU SELL THEM ?
ABSOLUTELY.
185
00:06:59,353 --> 00:07:01,054
THIS WILL BLOOM TOMORROW
IN YOUR YARD.
186
00:07:01,121 --> 00:07:02,022
IT IS HARDY.
187
00:07:02,089 --> 00:07:03,257
THANKS, BILL.
188
00:07:03,323 --> 00:07:04,691
BILL TAUGHT ME
A GREAT LINE.
189
00:07:04,758 --> 00:07:08,428
"IF YOU CAN'T GROW UP,
GROW DAYLILIES !"
190
00:07:32,486 --> 00:07:34,788
MID-TO-LATE SUMMER
IS A GREAT TIME OF YEAR
191
00:07:34,855 --> 00:07:37,124
TO BE DIGGING UP
AND DIVIDING YOUR IRIS.
192
00:07:37,191 --> 00:07:38,659
IT HELPS WITH CROWDING
193
00:07:38,725 --> 00:07:41,361
AND HELPS PREVENT
OTHER PROBLEMS IN THE GARDEN.
194
00:07:41,428 --> 00:07:44,431
WE BROUGHT THESE INDOORS
BECAUSE IT'S TOO WET OUTSIDE.
195
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:45,999
THIS IS A HEALTHY IRIS ROOT.
196
00:07:46,066 --> 00:07:47,968
HOPEFULLY,
THIS IS WHAT YOU FIND
197
00:07:48,035 --> 00:07:50,504
WHEN YOU DIG THEM UP
AND DIVIDE THEM.
198
00:07:50,571 --> 00:07:52,673
SOMETIMES, HOWEVER,
YOU RUN INTO PROBLEMS.
199
00:07:52,739 --> 00:07:55,342
WITH ME IS UW-EXTENSION
ENTOMOLOGIST, PHIL PELLITTERI.
200
00:07:55,409 --> 00:07:57,211
PHIL, THIS IS WHAT
I'D LIKE TO SEE
201
00:07:57,277 --> 00:07:58,812
WHEN I'M DIGGING
MY IRIS UP.
202
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:00,347
WHAT MIGHT I SEE ?
203
00:08:00,414 --> 00:08:02,616
UNFORTUNATELY,
IRIS HAS ONE BIG PROBLEM.
204
00:08:02,683 --> 00:08:04,985
IT'S AN INSECT PROBLEM
CALLED IRIS BORER.
205
00:08:05,052 --> 00:08:07,754
IN ABOUT JULY OR AUGUST,
ABOUT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR
206
00:08:07,821 --> 00:08:10,190
IF YOU WERE TO DIG IT UP
AND HAD IRIS BORER
207
00:08:10,257 --> 00:08:12,793
WHAT YOU WOULD SEE
IS A BIG PINKISH OR YELLOWISH
208
00:08:12,860 --> 00:08:14,428
OR BROWNISH CATERPILLAR
209
00:08:14,494 --> 00:08:16,463
FEEDING EXTENSIVELY
ON THE RHIZOMES.
210
00:08:16,530 --> 00:08:19,733
YOU CAN SEE THIS CHEWED AREA
IN HERE WHERE THEY FED.
211
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,202
THAT IS NOT
A PLEASANT LOOKING
INSECT.
NO.
212
00:08:22,269 --> 00:08:24,605
UNFORTUNATELY, ASIDE
FROM THIS PHYSICAL CHEWING
213
00:08:24,671 --> 00:08:26,840
IT OPENS THE PLANT UP
TO A BACTERIAL SOFT ROT
214
00:08:26,907 --> 00:08:28,108
WHICH IS A DISEASE.
215
00:08:28,175 --> 00:08:29,843
WE HAVE SOME
SOFT ROT OVER HERE.
216
00:08:29,910 --> 00:08:32,145
AND ALL YOU SEE
IS A YELLOWING OF THE PLANTS.
217
00:08:32,212 --> 00:08:34,848
NOTICE HOW THIS IS JUST--
THERE'S NOTHING THERE ANYMORE.
218
00:08:34,915 --> 00:08:36,450
IT'S MUSH.
219
00:08:36,517 --> 00:08:38,552
IT HAS KIND OF
A DISTINCTIVE FOUL ODOR.
220
00:08:38,619 --> 00:08:40,153
YEAH,
I'M NOTICING THAT.
221
00:08:40,220 --> 00:08:42,089
SOFT ROT IS NOT
SOMETHING YOU WANT.
222
00:08:42,155 --> 00:08:44,358
THE IRIS BORER--
IT'S ALMOST LIKE A WOUND.
223
00:08:44,424 --> 00:08:47,227
IT OPENED UP THE RHIZOME,
AND THE SOFT ROT MOVES IN.
224
00:08:47,294 --> 00:08:48,862
I'M AFRAID
TO TOUCH THIS.
225
00:08:48,929 --> 00:08:50,531
IT ALMOST
LOOKS LIKE WET--
226
00:08:50,597 --> 00:08:53,133
THE OUTER COATING
OF THIS HEALTHY RHIZOME.
227
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,568
THAT'S ALL THAT'S LEFT.
228
00:08:54,635 --> 00:08:56,270
WHEN IT GETS GOING,
IT JUST BECOMES MUSH.
229
00:08:56,336 --> 00:08:58,205
AS I SAID, YOU MIGHT
FIND A CATERPILLAR
230
00:08:58,272 --> 00:09:00,040
BUT YOU MIGHT JUST FIND
THE SOFT ROT.
231
00:09:00,107 --> 00:09:02,276
WHAT STARTED THE SOFT ROT,
UNFORTUNATELY, THOUGH
232
00:09:02,342 --> 00:09:03,610
WAS A CATERPILLAR.
233
00:09:03,677 --> 00:09:04,578
THE IRIS BORER.
234
00:09:04,645 --> 00:09:06,113
OKAY, WHAT DO
WE DO ABOUT IT ?
235
00:09:06,180 --> 00:09:07,981
I DON'T WANT TO PLANT
SOMETHING LIKE THAT
236
00:09:08,048 --> 00:09:09,550
BACK INTO
THE GROUND.
NO.
237
00:09:09,616 --> 00:09:11,218
WHEN YOU'RE
TRANSPLANTING PLANTS
238
00:09:11,285 --> 00:09:13,554
IF YOU SEE THIS, YOU CAN
CUT THAT BAD SECTION OFF
239
00:09:13,620 --> 00:09:15,422
GET RID OF THE
CATERPILLARS YOU FIND.
240
00:09:15,489 --> 00:09:18,025
THEN YOU CAN JUST PLANT
THE GOOD, SOUND, HEALTHY STUFF
241
00:09:18,091 --> 00:09:19,860
LIKE YOU HAVE HERE
ON THE GOOD PLANT.
242
00:09:19,927 --> 00:09:21,762
WILL THAT TAKE CARE
OF THE PROBLEM ?
243
00:09:21,828 --> 00:09:22,996
UNFORTUNATELY NOT.
244
00:09:23,063 --> 00:09:24,998
THE IRIS BORER
IS A NIGHT FLYING MOTH.
245
00:09:25,065 --> 00:09:27,534
AND IT LOOKS MUCH LIKE
MANY OF THE CUTWORM MOTHS.
246
00:09:27,601 --> 00:09:29,603
IT BELONGS TO
THE CUTWORM MOTH FAMILY.
247
00:09:29,670 --> 00:09:31,705
WHAT'S INTERESTING
ABOUT THIS CRITTER
248
00:09:31,772 --> 00:09:34,408
IS IT WAS FIRST DISCOVERED
ON DAYLILIES IN THE 1890s
249
00:09:34,474 --> 00:09:36,710
AROUND THE NORTHERN
SUBURBS OF CHICAGO.
250
00:09:36,777 --> 00:09:37,878
DAYLILIES ?
251
00:09:37,945 --> 00:09:40,180
WE DON'T SEE A LOT
OF DAMAGE OF DAYLILIES.
252
00:09:40,247 --> 00:09:42,115
THE IRIS IS, BY FAR,
IT'S FAVORITE.
253
00:09:42,182 --> 00:09:44,051
IF YOU'VE GROWN IRISES
VERY LONG
254
00:09:44,117 --> 00:09:46,386
YOU'VE PROBABLY DEALT
WITH THE IRIS BORER.
255
00:09:46,453 --> 00:09:48,622
NOW, THE MOTH IS OUT
IN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER.
256
00:09:48,689 --> 00:09:50,924
SHE LAYS HER EGGS AROUND
THE BASE OF THE PLANT
257
00:09:50,991 --> 00:09:52,292
AND THE AREAS AROUND IT.
258
00:09:52,359 --> 00:09:54,761
THAT'S HOW THE INSECT
GETS THROUGH THE WINTER.
259
00:09:54,828 --> 00:09:57,064
SO, TO MAYBE PREVENT
SOME OF THE PROBLEM
260
00:09:57,130 --> 00:09:59,967
WHEN WE'RE CLEANING UP IN FALL
AFTER THE FIRST FROST
261
00:10:00,033 --> 00:10:03,070
GET RID OF THE PLANT DEBRIS
AND LEAVES AROUNG THE IRIS.
262
00:10:03,136 --> 00:10:04,771
IT DOES MAKE
A BIG DIFFERENCE.
263
00:10:04,838 --> 00:10:07,007
UNFORTUNATELY,
YOU DON'T GET ALL THE EGGS.
264
00:10:07,074 --> 00:10:11,979
IN SPRING, WHEN THERE'S
ABOUT THREE INCHES OF GROWTH
265
00:10:13,380 --> 00:10:14,948
AS THE NAME "BORER"
TELLS YOU
266
00:10:15,015 --> 00:10:17,317
THEY FIND A SPOT
AND START TO CRAWL IN.
267
00:10:17,384 --> 00:10:19,853
YOU OFTEN SEE A DISCOLORED
AREA WHERE THEY START.
268
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,623
OVER TIME, THEY MOVE DOWN
THE PLANT TOWARD THE RHIZOME.
269
00:10:22,689 --> 00:10:24,658
SOMETIMES, PEOPLE GET
VERY POOR BLOOMS
270
00:10:24,725 --> 00:10:26,927
BECAUSE THEY FEED
ON THE DEVELOPING FLOWERS
271
00:10:26,994 --> 00:10:28,428
BEFORE THEY EMERGE.
272
00:10:28,495 --> 00:10:30,631
AN IRIS BORER CAUSES
THAT KIND OF DAMAGE ALSO.
273
00:10:30,697 --> 00:10:32,900
EVENTUALLY, WHEN WE GET
INTO LATE JUNE AND JULY
274
00:10:32,966 --> 00:10:34,501
THEN THEY'RE DOWN
IN THE RHIZOME
275
00:10:34,568 --> 00:10:36,203
CAUSING PROBLEMS
WITH THE ROOT.
276
00:10:36,270 --> 00:10:38,472
WE'RE FULL CIRCLE
AND HAVE MUSHY ROOTS.
277
00:10:38,539 --> 00:10:40,874
IT'S TOO LATE TO DO
ANYTHING AT THIS POINT
278
00:10:40,941 --> 00:10:43,243
OTHER THAN GET RID
OF THE ROTTED PART.
279
00:10:43,310 --> 00:10:45,946
SO, WE LOOK AT WHAT KIND
OF CONTROL OPTIONS WE HAVE.
280
00:10:46,013 --> 00:10:48,749
UP UNTIL A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO,
WE REALLY ONLY HAD ONE.
281
00:10:48,815 --> 00:10:51,385
THERE IS AN INSECTICIDE
CALLED DIMETHOATE OR CYGON
282
00:10:51,451 --> 00:10:53,720
WHICH IS ONE OF THE MORE
TOXIC INSECTICIDES.
283
00:10:53,787 --> 00:10:55,989
WE USUALLY DON'T LIKE
TO RECOMMEND IT.
284
00:10:56,056 --> 00:10:57,925
UNFORTUNATELY,
IT'S THE ONLY THING
285
00:10:57,991 --> 00:11:00,360
THAT WE FOUND WORKED
AGAINST THE IRIS BORER.
286
00:11:00,427 --> 00:11:02,996
WHEN YOU GET THREE INCHES
OF GROWTH IN THE SPRING
287
00:11:03,063 --> 00:11:04,765
YOU'LL APPLY IT
THE FIRST TIME.
288
00:11:04,831 --> 00:11:07,467
TWO WEEKS LATER, USE
A FOLLOW-UP SPRAY OF THIS.
289
00:11:07,534 --> 00:11:09,336
UNTIL ABOUT TWO
OR THREE YEARS AGO
290
00:11:09,403 --> 00:11:11,104
THE ONLY SUGGESTION
WE COULD MAKE
291
00:11:11,171 --> 00:11:13,106
OTHER THAN CLEANING
THE PLANT DEBRIS--
292
00:11:13,173 --> 00:11:14,942
WAS USING
DIMETHOATE INSECTICIDE.
293
00:11:15,008 --> 00:11:16,577
A LOT MORE GARDENERS
294
00:11:16,643 --> 00:11:19,813
HAVE INCREASING CONCERNS
ABOUT USING TOXIC CHEMICALS.
295
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,149
IS THERE ANOTHER
ALTERNATIVE NOW ?
296
00:11:22,216 --> 00:11:23,550
THERE IS.
297
00:11:23,617 --> 00:11:25,152
YOU HAVE TO DO
A LITTLE HOMEWORK ON IT--
298
00:11:25,219 --> 00:11:26,286
PARASITIC NEMATODES.
299
00:11:26,353 --> 00:11:27,588
WHAT ARE NEMATODES ?
300
00:11:27,654 --> 00:11:29,323
A NEMATODE
IS A MICROSCOPIC WORM.
301
00:11:29,389 --> 00:11:31,758
SOME NEMATODES ARE PLANT FEEDERS
OR PLANT PESTS.
302
00:11:31,825 --> 00:11:33,794
THERE ARE SOME
THAT ARE INSECT FEEDERS.
303
00:11:33,861 --> 00:11:35,495
YOU CAN BUY THOSE
COMMERCIALLY.
304
00:11:35,562 --> 00:11:37,264
WE'VE BROUGHT
A COUPLE TYPES HERE
305
00:11:37,331 --> 00:11:38,999
THAT WE BOUGHT
THROUGH A CATALOG.
306
00:11:39,066 --> 00:11:41,768
I CAN'T PICK THESE UP
AT THE LOCAL HARDWARE STORE.
307
00:11:41,835 --> 00:11:43,437
NOT YET,
MAYBE SOME DAY.
308
00:11:43,504 --> 00:11:45,739
IF PEOPLE ASK ENOUGH,
THEY MIGHT CARRY IT.
309
00:11:45,806 --> 00:11:48,575
RIGHT NOW, YOU HAVE TO ORDER
THIS AND THEY'LL SHIP IT.
310
00:11:48,642 --> 00:11:50,711
HERE, WE'VE GOT
FIVE MILLION NEMATODES
311
00:11:50,777 --> 00:11:52,980
THAT ARE IMPREGNATED
ON THIS SPONGE.
312
00:11:53,046 --> 00:11:56,650
IN ANOTHER FORM, THIS HAS
50 MILLION NEMATODES
313
00:11:56,717 --> 00:12:00,754
THAT ARE IMPREGNATED ON
AN ALMOST CLAY-LIKE RESIDUE.
314
00:12:00,821 --> 00:12:03,991
A THIRD FORM THAT YOU
WILL SEE AT TIMES
315
00:12:04,057 --> 00:12:07,794
IS A SAWDUST-LIKE MATERIAL
THAT IS MIXED IN.
316
00:12:07,861 --> 00:12:10,230
THIS IS PUT ON ALMOST LIKE
A SALT SHAKER.
317
00:12:10,297 --> 00:12:11,798
YOU CAN SHAKE IT ON.
318
00:12:11,865 --> 00:12:14,234
THE WAY THESE THINGS
ARE USED THE BEST--
319
00:12:14,301 --> 00:12:17,271
IS TO TAKE THIS SPONGE
AND GET A BUCKET OF WATER.
320
00:12:17,337 --> 00:12:19,273
ALL OF THESE, BASICALLY,
GO INTO WATER.
321
00:12:19,339 --> 00:12:21,575
TO WORK BEST, THEY NEED
TO BE MIXED IN WATER.
322
00:12:21,642 --> 00:12:22,876
PUT THE SPONGE IN THERE
323
00:12:22,943 --> 00:12:24,778
AND LET IT SIT
FOR A COUPLE MINUTES
324
00:12:24,845 --> 00:12:27,814
SO THE NEMATODES HAVE A CHANCE
TO SWIM OUT INTO THE WATER.
325
00:12:27,881 --> 00:12:29,416
WE TAKE THIS
OUT TO THE PLANTS
326
00:12:29,483 --> 00:12:31,652
AND DRENCH IT AROUND
THE BASE OF THE PLANTS.
327
00:12:31,718 --> 00:12:33,921
THE NEMATODES WILL
WORK DOWN THROUGH THE SOIL
328
00:12:33,987 --> 00:12:36,723
INTO WHERE THEY FIND THESE
IRIS BORERS AND KILL THEM.
329
00:12:36,790 --> 00:12:38,692
JUST POUR THIS
ON THE IRIS PLANTS
330
00:12:38,759 --> 00:12:41,695
ON THE SOIL AROUND IT
AND THAT'S IT ?
RIGHT.
331
00:12:41,762 --> 00:12:43,230
WHAT'S NEAT
ABOUT THIS--
332
00:12:43,297 --> 00:12:45,399
WE CAN ONLY USE SPRAYS
FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS.
333
00:12:45,465 --> 00:12:47,701
NEMATODES ARE EFFECTIVE
FOR FOUR OR FIVE WEEKS.
334
00:12:47,768 --> 00:12:49,770
YOU CAN EVEN GO
INTO JUNE AND EARLY JULY
335
00:12:49,837 --> 00:12:51,305
AND STILL GET SOME SUCCESS.
336
00:12:51,371 --> 00:12:54,741
ARE THERE ANY OTHER
TOXIC AFTER EFFECTS
OF THIS ? NO.
337
00:12:54,808 --> 00:12:56,777
IF YOU'RE AN INSECT,
IT'S A PROBLEM
338
00:12:56,844 --> 00:12:59,613
ANYTHING ELSE, AS FAR AS
WILDLIFE IS NOT AFFECTED.
339
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:00,981
THIS IS
A GREAT CHOICE.
340
00:13:01,048 --> 00:13:02,282
BUT THAT'S WHY
341
00:13:02,349 --> 00:13:05,052
WE SHOULD BE LOOKING
FOR THIS PROBLEM
IN LATE SUMMER.
342
00:13:05,118 --> 00:13:07,654
IT MAY TAKE US A LITTLE BIT
OF TIME TO FIND THIS.
343
00:13:07,721 --> 00:13:09,656
NEMATODES HAVE TO BE
MAILED TO YOU.
344
00:13:09,723 --> 00:13:12,226
THEY KEEP IN THE REFRIGERATOR
FOR A COUPLE WEEKS.
345
00:13:12,292 --> 00:13:14,695
YOU HAVE TO HAVE THEM HERE
WHEN YOU NEED THEM.
346
00:13:14,761 --> 00:13:16,496
FIND OUT
WHERE YOU CAN GET THEM
347
00:13:16,563 --> 00:13:18,799
SO THEY'RE SHIPPED
AT THE RIGHT TIME.
348
00:13:18,866 --> 00:13:19,867
OKAY, GREAT.
349
00:13:19,933 --> 00:13:21,735
THIS IS A SAFE
ALTERNATIVE.
350
00:13:21,802 --> 00:13:23,203
THANKS, PHIL.
351
00:13:23,270 --> 00:13:26,473
NOW THAT YOU'VE GOT THESE DUG UP
AND YOU'RE READY TO PLANT THEM
352
00:13:26,540 --> 00:13:28,709
CUT THE LEAVES OFF
TO ABOUT THREE INCHES
353
00:13:28,775 --> 00:13:31,712
PLANT THESE VERY SHALLOWLY,
ABOUT TWO INCHES IN THE SOIL.
354
00:13:31,778 --> 00:13:34,781
THEN YOU'RE SET
FOR NEXT SPRING.
355
00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:55,736
YOU MIGHT EXPECT TO SEE
COLORFUL BLOOMS LIKE THIS
356
00:13:55,802 --> 00:13:57,070
IN EARLY SPRING
357
00:13:57,137 --> 00:13:59,373
WHEN SO MANY TREES
AND SHRUBS ARE BLOOMING
358
00:13:59,439 --> 00:14:01,208
BUT THIS IS
THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER.
359
00:14:01,275 --> 00:14:02,609
I'M WITH DR. LAURA JULL
360
00:14:02,676 --> 00:14:04,678
WOODY-ORNAMENTAL
EXTENSION SPECIALIST
361
00:14:04,745 --> 00:14:06,880
FOR THE UNIVERSITY
OF WISCONSIN-MADISON.
362
00:14:06,947 --> 00:14:08,615
LAURA, ARE THERE
MANY CHOICES
363
00:14:08,682 --> 00:14:12,052
IF WE WANT A TREE AND SHRUB
THAT BLOOM IN THE SUMMER TIME ?
364
00:14:12,119 --> 00:14:13,587
ACTUALLY THERE IS,
SHELLEY.
365
00:14:13,654 --> 00:14:15,255
THIS IS A WONDERFUL
SELECTION.
366
00:14:15,322 --> 00:14:16,757
THIS IS
THE SMOKEBUSH.
367
00:14:16,823 --> 00:14:18,892
THIS
ISN'T IT IS WONDERFUL.
BEAUTIFUL ?
368
00:14:18,959 --> 00:14:20,160
HOW TALL IS THIS ?
369
00:14:20,227 --> 00:14:23,597
SMOKEBUSH GETS APPROXIMATELY
TEN TO 15 FEET IN HEIGHT
370
00:14:23,664 --> 00:14:26,466
WITH THIS KIND OF OPEN
WIDE SPREADING FORM.
371
00:14:26,533 --> 00:14:28,735
IT HAS A VERY
AIRY LOOK TO IT.
372
00:14:28,802 --> 00:14:30,304
DOESN'T IT, THOUGH ?
373
00:14:30,370 --> 00:14:32,906
IT'S NATIVE TO EUROPE
AND CENTRAL CHINA.
374
00:14:32,973 --> 00:14:35,442
AND THIS IS THE CULTIVAR
CALLED NORDINE.
375
00:14:35,509 --> 00:14:37,811
AND NORDINE IS
A COLD HARDY CULTIVAR.
376
00:14:37,878 --> 00:14:39,980
IT'S COLD HARDY
TO ZONE FOUR.
377
00:14:40,047 --> 00:14:42,149
SO, A LOT OF US
COULD GROW THIS ONE
378
00:14:42,216 --> 00:14:45,152
IF WE CAN'T GROW SOME OF
THE OTHER KINDS OF SMOKEBUSH.
379
00:14:45,219 --> 00:14:46,353
YES, ABSOLUTELY.
380
00:14:46,420 --> 00:14:48,956
IT'S NOTED FOR A NUMBER
OF ORNAMENTAL FEATURES.
381
00:14:49,022 --> 00:14:52,359
FIRST OF ALL, THE NEW LEAVES
ARE KIND OF THIS PURPLISH COLOR
382
00:14:52,426 --> 00:14:54,761
GRADUALLY FADING
TO A PURPLISH-GREEN COLOR.
383
00:14:54,828 --> 00:14:56,830
LOOK AT THESE
OUTSTANDING FLOWERS.
384
00:14:56,897 --> 00:14:58,732
AREN'T THESE GORGEOUS ?
385
00:14:58,799 --> 00:15:00,434
THEY LOOK MORE LIKE
A SEED HEAD.
386
00:15:00,501 --> 00:15:01,969
THIS IS
THE ACTUAL FLOWER ?
387
00:15:02,035 --> 00:15:03,136
YES, IT IS.
388
00:15:03,203 --> 00:15:05,172
IT'S ACTUALLY THE HAIRS
ON THE PEDICEL
389
00:15:05,239 --> 00:15:06,373
THAT HAVE ELONGATED
390
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,509
GIVING IT THIS SMOKY
OR FUZZY LOOK TO IT.
391
00:15:08,575 --> 00:15:10,077
IT'S ABSOLUTELY
STUNNING.
392
00:15:10,143 --> 00:15:11,945
FROM A DISTANCE
IT MUST LOOK
393
00:15:12,012 --> 00:15:14,248
LIKE THIS WHOLE TREE
IS FILLED WITH SMOKE.
394
00:15:14,314 --> 00:15:15,516
IT DOES,
ACTUALLY.
395
00:15:15,582 --> 00:15:18,285
AND THEY BLOOM FROM JULY
UNTIL ABOUT MID-AUGUST.
396
00:15:18,352 --> 00:15:20,554
SO, IT REALLY IS
A MIDDLE SUMMER BLOOMER.
397
00:15:20,621 --> 00:15:21,922
ABSOLUTELY.
398
00:15:21,989 --> 00:15:23,724
THEN, IN THE FALL,
IT TREATS US
399
00:15:23,790 --> 00:15:26,493
TO ITS OUTSTANDING
FALL COLOR
OF ORANGE TO RED.
400
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,429
WE'VE GOT SEVERAL SEASONS
OF INTEREST IN THIS.
401
00:15:29,496 --> 00:15:30,430
ABSOLUTELY.
402
00:15:30,497 --> 00:15:31,965
YOU SAID
IT'S COLD HARDY.
403
00:15:32,032 --> 00:15:34,334
WHAT ELSE DO WE NEED
TO KNOW TO PLANT THIS ?
404
00:15:34,401 --> 00:15:35,435
IT PREFERS FULL SUN
405
00:15:35,502 --> 00:15:37,604
TO GET THE BEST DISPLAY
OF FLOWERS.
406
00:15:37,671 --> 00:15:40,707
AND AN OPEN SPOT, NOT CROWDED
AGAINST YOUR HOUSE, I ASSUME.
407
00:15:40,774 --> 00:15:42,042
ABSOLUTELY.
408
00:15:42,109 --> 00:15:43,510
IT WILL GET
QUITE LARGE.
409
00:15:43,577 --> 00:15:46,146
IT'S ALSO HIGH pH TOLERANT
AND DROUGHT TOLERANT
410
00:15:46,213 --> 00:15:48,081
WHICH IS PERFECT
FOR WISCONSIN.
411
00:15:48,148 --> 00:15:49,650
THERE IS ONE
PRECAUTION.
412
00:15:49,716 --> 00:15:51,952
IT IS SUSCEPTIBLE
TO VERTICILLIUM WILT
413
00:15:52,019 --> 00:15:54,154
WHICH IS A SOIL-BORNE
FUNGUS DISEASE.
414
00:15:54,221 --> 00:15:55,789
IT STAYS IN THE SOIL
415
00:15:55,856 --> 00:15:58,392
AND ATTACKS MAPLES
AND SOME OTHER PLANTS.
416
00:15:58,458 --> 00:16:00,561
IF YOU KNOW YOU HAVE
VERTICILLIUM WILT
417
00:16:00,627 --> 00:16:02,796
OR HAVE HAD PLANTS
THAT HAVE DIED OF VERT WILT
418
00:16:02,863 --> 00:16:04,831
YOU DON'T WANT
TO PLANT SMOKEBUSH.
419
00:16:04,898 --> 00:16:06,600
SO, MAYBE LOOK
AT OTHER OPTIONS.
420
00:16:06,667 --> 00:16:09,736
LET'S GO LOOK AT SOME
OTHER SUMMER FLOWERING SHRUBS.
421
00:16:09,803 --> 00:16:11,405
GREAT.
422
00:16:11,471 --> 00:16:15,542
I DON'T THINK OF HYDRANGEAS
AS BEING THIS MASSIVE.
423
00:16:15,609 --> 00:16:18,111
THIS IS ABOUT AS TALL
AS THIS HYDRANGEA WILL GET.
424
00:16:18,178 --> 00:16:20,180
IT ONLY GETS ABOUT
FOUR FEET IN HEIGHT.
425
00:16:20,247 --> 00:16:21,882
LOOK HOW
WIDE SPREADING IT IS.
426
00:16:21,949 --> 00:16:24,551
YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE
THAT YOU GIVE IT SOME ROOM.
427
00:16:24,618 --> 00:16:27,254
I NEED TO PLANT MINE
IN A LARGER SPOT, THEN.
428
00:16:27,321 --> 00:16:30,357
I THINK OF MY GRANDMOTHER
WHEN I THINK OF HYDRANGEAS.
429
00:16:30,424 --> 00:16:32,626
IT'S A REAL
OLD-FASHIONED FLOWER.
430
00:16:32,693 --> 00:16:35,128
THE HYDRANGEA YOUR
GRANDMOTHER PROBABLY GREW
431
00:16:35,195 --> 00:16:37,364
WAS THE CULTIVAR
CALLED GRANDA FLORA.
432
00:16:37,431 --> 00:16:39,833
THIS ACTUALLY A CULTIVAR
CALLED ANNABELLE.
433
00:16:39,900 --> 00:16:42,369
AND ANNABELLE IS DIFFERENT
FROM GRANDA FLORA
434
00:16:42,436 --> 00:16:44,738
IN THAT THE FLOWER HEADS
ARE BIGGER.
435
00:16:44,805 --> 00:16:46,240
THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL
AND MASSIVE.
436
00:16:46,306 --> 00:16:47,574
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.
437
00:16:47,641 --> 00:16:50,777
THEY START OUT GREEN AND
GRADUALLY FADE TO A LIGHT GREEN
438
00:16:50,844 --> 00:16:52,479
AND THEN,
FINALLY, WHITE.
439
00:16:52,546 --> 00:16:54,915
AND THEN, IN THE FALL,
THEY TURN BROWN.
440
00:16:54,982 --> 00:16:57,551
THEY REALLY HANG
ON THIS PLANT A LONG TIME.
441
00:16:57,618 --> 00:16:59,019
A VERY LONG TIME.
442
00:16:59,086 --> 00:17:01,555
SOME PEOPLE LEAVE THEM
FOR WINTER INTEREST
443
00:17:01,622 --> 00:17:04,591
OR BRING THEM INDOORS
FOR DRIED FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS.
444
00:17:04,658 --> 00:17:06,793
IT MAKES AN EXCELLENT
DRIED FLOWER.
445
00:17:06,860 --> 00:17:08,829
WHAT DO WE DO
TO GROW THIS ?
446
00:17:08,896 --> 00:17:10,764
IT'S COLD HARDY
TO WISCONSIN.
447
00:17:10,831 --> 00:17:13,433
IT ACTUALLY PREFERS
PARTIAL SHADE TO SHADE
448
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:15,435
AND A MOIST,
WELL-DRAINED SOIL.
449
00:17:15,502 --> 00:17:17,271
IT IS NOT
DROUGHT TOLERANT.
450
00:17:17,337 --> 00:17:20,874
BUT IT IS HIGH pH TOLERANT,
WHICH IS GREAT FOR WISCONSIN.
451
00:17:20,941 --> 00:17:23,610
IS THERE ANY SPECIAL CARE
FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS ?
452
00:17:23,677 --> 00:17:24,978
IN TERMS OF PRUNING
453
00:17:25,045 --> 00:17:27,314
WHAT WE DO IS WE
ACTUALLY CUT THIS PLANT
454
00:17:27,381 --> 00:17:28,782
TOTALLY BACK TO THE GROUND
455
00:17:28,849 --> 00:17:31,218
LEAVING ABOUT FOUR INCHES
OF STEM MATERIAL.
456
00:17:31,285 --> 00:17:33,987
THE PLANT SUCKERS BACK
BEAUTIFULLY IN THE SPRING.
457
00:17:34,054 --> 00:17:35,822
DO THIS IN FEBRUARY
OR MARCH ?
458
00:17:35,889 --> 00:17:37,291
ABOUT MARCH.
459
00:17:37,357 --> 00:17:39,760
YOU'RE NOT LEAVING
ANYTHING BEHIND.
460
00:17:39,826 --> 00:17:41,128
REALLY CUT IT BACK.
461
00:17:41,195 --> 00:17:42,796
AND LOOK HOW MUCH
IT'S GROWN.
462
00:17:42,863 --> 00:17:44,765
WHEN THE FLOWER HEADS
ARE OUT HERE
463
00:17:44,831 --> 00:17:47,968
IT MAY NEED A LITTLE STAKING,
ESPECIALLY AFTER A HEAVY RAIN.
464
00:17:48,035 --> 00:17:50,804
THE FLOWER HEADS ARE HEAVY
AND DO TEND TO FLOP OVER.
465
00:17:50,871 --> 00:17:52,339
SOME PEOPLE DO STAKE IT
466
00:17:52,406 --> 00:17:54,308
OR PUT CAGES AROUND IT
FOR SUPPORT.
467
00:17:54,374 --> 00:17:57,010
BUT, IT'S AN ABSOLUTELY
WONDERFUL LANDSCAPE PLANT
468
00:17:57,077 --> 00:17:58,712
FOR SUMMER FLOWERS.
469
00:17:58,779 --> 00:18:01,148
AND JULY/AUGUST--
WHAT A GREAT THING TO HAVE.
470
00:18:01,215 --> 00:18:02,616
ABSOLUTELY.
471
00:18:02,683 --> 00:18:04,985
LET'S TAKE A LOOK
AT ONE LAST ONE.
GREAT.
472
00:18:05,052 --> 00:18:06,553
LAURA,
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.
473
00:18:06,620 --> 00:18:07,754
WHAT IS THIS ?
474
00:18:07,821 --> 00:18:09,523
ISN'T THIS GORGEOUS,
SHELLEY ?
475
00:18:09,590 --> 00:18:11,525
THIS IS THE
BOTTLEBRUSH BUCKEYE.
476
00:18:11,592 --> 00:18:14,328
IT ACTUALLY ONLY GETS
ABOUT EIGHT FEET IN HEIGHT
477
00:18:14,394 --> 00:18:17,264
BUT IT DOES LOOK LIKE
IT'S A LOT TALLER THAN THAT.
478
00:18:17,331 --> 00:18:19,266
IT'S DECEIVING,
IT'S ON A HILL.
479
00:18:19,333 --> 00:18:21,134
IT'S IMPRESSIVE
THIS WAY.
480
00:18:21,201 --> 00:18:23,270
IT'S A WONDERFUL,
LARGE SUCKERING SHRUB
481
00:18:23,337 --> 00:18:24,838
FOR THE LANDSCAPE.
482
00:18:24,905 --> 00:18:27,674
AND ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS
WHY I LIKE BOTTLEBRUSH BUCKEYE
483
00:18:27,741 --> 00:18:30,277
IS THESE VERY LONG
BOTTLEBRUSH-LIKE
FLOWERS.
484
00:18:30,344 --> 00:18:32,846
ACTUALLY, IT'S THE STAMENS
THAT HAVE EXTENDED OUT
485
00:18:32,913 --> 00:18:35,215
GIVING IT
THE BOTTLEBRUSH APPEARANCE.
486
00:18:35,282 --> 00:18:38,051
THESE LOOK LIKE OLD-FASHIONED
BRUSHES TO CLEAN BOTTLES.
487
00:18:38,118 --> 00:18:39,152
ABSOLUTELY.
488
00:18:39,219 --> 00:18:40,921
HOW LONG DO
THESE FLOWERS LAST ?
489
00:18:40,988 --> 00:18:43,657
THEY LAST A COUPLE WEEKS
AND THEY BLOOM IN JULY.
490
00:18:43,724 --> 00:18:46,326
AGAIN, THIS IS A NICE
SUMMER FLOWERING SHRUB.
491
00:18:46,393 --> 00:18:49,263
YOU'VE ALSO GOT NICE, LARGE,
INTERESTING LOOKING LEAVES.
492
00:18:49,329 --> 00:18:50,631
THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.
493
00:18:50,697 --> 00:18:52,733
AND ACTUALLY,
THE BOTTLEBRUSH BUCKEYE
494
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:54,701
IS A RELATIVE
OF THE HORSE CHESTNUT
495
00:18:54,768 --> 00:18:56,069
AND THE OHIO BUCKEYE
496
00:18:56,136 --> 00:18:57,971
WHICH DO TEND
TO GET LEAF BLOTCH.
497
00:18:58,038 --> 00:18:59,773
BUT UNLIKE
THOSE TREE RELATIVES
498
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,009
THIS DOES NOT GET
THE LEAF BLOTCH.
499
00:19:02,075 --> 00:19:03,777
IT ALSO DOESN'T
PRODUCE FRUIT.
500
00:19:03,844 --> 00:19:06,747
YOU DON'T HAVE THE FRUIT LITTER
LIKE WITH THE OTHER ONES.
501
00:19:06,813 --> 00:19:08,282
AND WHAT ABOUT
CULTURE ?
502
00:19:08,348 --> 00:19:09,716
IS IT HARDY ?
503
00:19:09,783 --> 00:19:12,286
IT'S HARDY TO CENTRAL
WISCONSIN ZONE FOUR.
504
00:19:12,352 --> 00:19:14,354
IT'S A VERY
LOW-MAINTENANCE SHRUB.
505
00:19:14,421 --> 00:19:17,024
IT DOES BETTER IN FULL SUN
TO PARTIAL SHADE.
506
00:19:17,090 --> 00:19:18,692
IT IS ALSO
HIGH pH TOLERANT
507
00:19:18,759 --> 00:19:20,894
WHICH IS EXCELLENT
FOR WISCONSIN.
508
00:19:20,961 --> 00:19:22,796
ANYTHING SPECIAL
I'D HAVE TO DO
509
00:19:22,863 --> 00:19:24,464
TO KEEP
THIS THING HAPPY ?
510
00:19:24,531 --> 00:19:26,333
NO, IT'S VERY
LOW MAINTENANCE.
511
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:27,968
IN TERMS OF PRUNING
512
00:19:28,035 --> 00:19:30,204
YOU CAN REMOVE
THE OLD FLOWER CLUSTERS
513
00:19:30,270 --> 00:19:33,106
AFTER THEY HAVE FADED
SIMPLY BY SNAPPING THEM OFF.
514
00:19:33,173 --> 00:19:34,875
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
515
00:19:34,942 --> 00:19:37,644
IT LOOKS LIKE YOU REALLY
NEED TO SITE THIS CAREFULLY.
516
00:19:37,711 --> 00:19:39,112
IT DOES GET QUITE BIG.
517
00:19:39,179 --> 00:19:41,548
BUT FOR SUMMER FLOWERS
AND ALSO YELLOW FALL COLOR
518
00:19:41,615 --> 00:19:43,250
IT'S A GREAT
LANDSCAPE PLANT.
519
00:19:43,317 --> 00:19:45,652
DON'T PUT IT IN
WITH YOUR PERENNIALS.
520
00:19:45,719 --> 00:19:46,920
RIGHT.
521
00:19:46,987 --> 00:19:48,255
THANKS, LAURA.
522
00:19:48,322 --> 00:19:50,991
IF YOU'D LIKE TO LEARN
WHAT IS BLOOMING IN THE SUMMER
523
00:19:51,058 --> 00:19:53,493
VISIT LONGENECKER GARDENS
AT THE ARBORETUM
524
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,464
AT THE UNIVERSITY
OF WISCONSIN-MADISON.
525
00:20:16,183 --> 00:20:19,019
YOU KNOW, OVER THE YEARS,
I FEEL I'VE GOTTEN PRETTY GOOD
526
00:20:19,086 --> 00:20:21,154
AT HANDLING INSECT PROBLEMS
IN MY GARDEN.
527
00:20:21,221 --> 00:20:22,956
NOW, DISEASES
ARE ANOTHER MATTER.
528
00:20:23,023 --> 00:20:25,292
MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE
THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM.
529
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,161
FOR INSTANCE, THIS BOOK CONTAINS
JUST THE FUNGAL DISEASES
530
00:20:28,228 --> 00:20:29,630
THAT CAN AFFECT PLANTS.
531
00:20:29,696 --> 00:20:31,765
AND THERE ARE
MANY OTHER PROBLEMS.
532
00:20:31,832 --> 00:20:34,401
I'M WITH PLANT DISEASE
DIAGNOSTICIAN, BRIAN HUDELSON.
533
00:20:34,468 --> 00:20:36,537
BRIAN IS WITH
THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN
534
00:20:36,603 --> 00:20:38,038
DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PATHOLOGY.
535
00:20:38,105 --> 00:20:39,973
BRIAN, THANK YOU
FOR JOINING ME.
536
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:41,275
THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
537
00:20:41,341 --> 00:20:43,544
WITH DISEASES, WHERE DOES
A HOME GARDENER START
538
00:20:43,610 --> 00:20:45,212
WHEN THERE'S
SO MANY OUT THERE ?
539
00:20:45,279 --> 00:20:46,914
IT'S REALLY
VERY DIFFICULT.
540
00:20:46,980 --> 00:20:49,383
THERE ARE SO MANY DISEASES
IN YOUR YARD
541
00:20:49,449 --> 00:20:51,952
THAT IT'S VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE
FOR MOST HOMEOWNERS
542
00:20:52,019 --> 00:20:54,788
TO GET A GOOD DIAGNOSIS
OF THEIR DISEASE PROBLEMS.
543
00:20:54,855 --> 00:20:56,790
BUT THERE ARE
SOME EXCEPTIONS.
544
00:20:56,857 --> 00:20:59,226
WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING
ABOUT ONE THIS MORNING
545
00:20:59,293 --> 00:21:01,728
THAT I THINK HOMEOWNERS
CAN GET A HANDLE ON
546
00:21:01,795 --> 00:21:03,463
AND DIAGNOSE
ON THEIR OWN PLANTS.
547
00:21:03,530 --> 00:21:04,998
IT'S CALLED
POWDERY MILDEW.
548
00:21:05,065 --> 00:21:06,433
AND POWDERY MILDEW--
549
00:21:06,500 --> 00:21:08,335
THIS CERTAINLY IS NOT
AN ORNAMENTAL PLANT
550
00:21:08,402 --> 00:21:09,937
IT'S A WEED--
551
00:21:10,003 --> 00:21:12,206
THE SYMPTOMS ON THE WEED
ARE VERY SIMILAR
552
00:21:12,272 --> 00:21:14,241
TO WHAT WE'D SEE
ON OTHER PLANTS.
553
00:21:14,308 --> 00:21:16,977
IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE
SPRINKLED SOME TALCUM POWDER
554
00:21:17,044 --> 00:21:19,313
OR SOME POWDERED SUGAR
OVER THE PLANT.
555
00:21:19,379 --> 00:21:21,915
IT'S SPOTTED
ALL OVER THE PLACE.
556
00:21:21,982 --> 00:21:25,285
IS THIS SOMETHING
THAT ANY PLANT CAN GET ?
557
00:21:25,352 --> 00:21:27,287
I'M HARD PRESSED
TO THINK ABOUT A PLANT
558
00:21:27,354 --> 00:21:28,956
THAT DOESN'T GET
POWDERY MILDEW.
559
00:21:29,022 --> 00:21:30,958
MOST OF THE COMMON ONES
THAT WE DEAL WITH
560
00:21:31,024 --> 00:21:32,659
NORMALLY WILL GET
POWDERY MILDEW.
561
00:21:32,726 --> 00:21:35,062
THAT INCLUDES BOTH
OUTDOOR AND INDOOR PLANTS.
562
00:21:35,128 --> 00:21:37,164
ARE SOME MORE
SUSCEPTIBLE THAN OTHERS ?
563
00:21:37,231 --> 00:21:39,800
YEAH, THE OUTDOOR ONES
THAT I NORMALLY THINK ABOUT
564
00:21:39,867 --> 00:21:41,668
IN TERMS OF HAVING
POWDERY MILDEWS
565
00:21:41,735 --> 00:21:43,070
ARE MONARDAS AND PHLOXES
566
00:21:43,136 --> 00:21:45,572
AND LILACS-- THE SHRUB
THAT MOST PEOPLE MENTION
567
00:21:45,639 --> 00:21:47,674
WHEN THEY THINK
ABOUT POWDERY MILDEWS.
568
00:21:47,741 --> 00:21:49,309
WHAT ABOUT
HOUSE PLANTS ?
569
00:21:49,376 --> 00:21:52,045
INSIDE, YOU CAN GET
POWDERY MILDEWS, AS WELL.
570
00:21:52,112 --> 00:21:54,681
ONES THAT I NORMALLY
SEE POWDERY MILDEWS ON
571
00:21:54,748 --> 00:21:57,651
ARE THING LIKE AFRICAN VIOLETS
AND ALSO BEGONIAS.
572
00:21:57,718 --> 00:21:59,920
BY BRINGING IN
THIS DISEASED PLANT
573
00:21:59,987 --> 00:22:02,389
HAVE WE JUST INFECTED
THIS ENTIRE AREA ?
574
00:22:02,456 --> 00:22:03,857
NO.
575
00:22:03,924 --> 00:22:05,792
FORTUNATELY,
THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
576
00:22:05,859 --> 00:22:07,895
POWDERY MILDEWS
ARE CAUSED BY FUNGI.
577
00:22:07,961 --> 00:22:09,730
THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT FUNGI.
578
00:22:09,796 --> 00:22:11,665
THEY ARE ALL
VERY CLOSELY RELATED
579
00:22:11,732 --> 00:22:14,168
BUT THEY TEND TO BE
RELATIVELY SPECIFIC.
580
00:22:14,234 --> 00:22:16,003
THE FUNGUS CAUSING
THE DISEASE ON THIS
581
00:22:16,069 --> 00:22:17,571
IS NOT NECESSARILY
THE SAME ONE
582
00:22:17,638 --> 00:22:19,640
THAT CAUSES THE DISEASE
ON OTHER PLANTS.
583
00:22:19,706 --> 00:22:21,808
IT'S DIFFERENT
ON EACH PLANT.
584
00:22:21,875 --> 00:22:23,911
SO, I DON'T
HAVE TO WORRY.
585
00:22:23,977 --> 00:22:25,345
YES AND NO.
586
00:22:25,412 --> 00:22:27,948
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY
THAT IT'S THE SAME FUNGUS.
587
00:22:28,015 --> 00:22:29,449
WHEN YOU SEE POWDERY MILDEW
588
00:22:29,516 --> 00:22:31,785
YOU'VE GOT REALLY GOOD
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
589
00:22:31,852 --> 00:22:33,921
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT
OF THE DISEASE.
590
00:22:33,987 --> 00:22:35,789
THAT USUALLY MEANS
HIGH HUMIDITY.
591
00:22:35,856 --> 00:22:37,524
THAT MEANS
SUMMER IN WISCONSIN.
592
00:22:37,591 --> 00:22:39,693
SUMMER IS PERFECT
FOR POWDERY MILDEWS.
593
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,595
WE SEE A LOT OF THEM
IN THE STATE.
594
00:22:41,662 --> 00:22:42,729
HOT, MOIST, HUMID...
595
00:22:42,796 --> 00:22:43,797
THAT'S RIGHT.
596
00:22:43,864 --> 00:22:46,166
WE CAN GET THOSE
CONDITIONS INDOORS, TOO.
597
00:22:46,233 --> 00:22:47,868
YOU CAN GET THEM
INDOORS, TOO.
598
00:22:47,935 --> 00:22:49,703
WE GET THEM INDOORS
IN THE SUMMER.
599
00:22:49,770 --> 00:22:51,538
WE ALSO SEE IT
IN THE WINTERTIME.
600
00:22:51,605 --> 00:22:54,107
PARTICULARLY IF PEOPLE HAVE
A LOT OF HOUSE PLANTS
601
00:22:54,174 --> 00:22:56,276
THAT THEY'RE CROWDING
VERY CLOSE TOGETHER.
602
00:22:56,343 --> 00:22:58,612
SO, YOU GET A LOT
OF LOCALIZED HIGH HUMIDITY
603
00:22:58,679 --> 00:22:59,847
AROUND THOSE PLANTS.
604
00:22:59,913 --> 00:23:02,683
IF WE SEE IT, I ASSUME
IT'S TIME TO REALLY PANIC.
605
00:23:02,749 --> 00:23:04,117
NO, REALLY NOT.
606
00:23:04,184 --> 00:23:06,954
THE DISEASE IS PARTICULARLY
SEVERE ON THIS WEED PLANT
607
00:23:07,020 --> 00:23:08,589
IT DOES LOOK AWFUL.
608
00:23:08,655 --> 00:23:11,091
BUT ON A LOT OF PLANTS,
I REALLY THINK OF THE DISEASE
609
00:23:11,158 --> 00:23:13,160
AS BEING PRIMARILY
A COSMETIC DISEASE.
610
00:23:13,227 --> 00:23:15,162
IT MAKES IT LOOK
A LITTLE BIT CRUMMY
611
00:23:15,229 --> 00:23:17,197
BUT IT'S NOT
EASILY THAT BAD.
612
00:23:17,264 --> 00:23:19,032
THIS GRAPE LEAF IVY
HAS POWDERY MILDEW
613
00:23:19,099 --> 00:23:20,901
BUT YOU REALLY
CAN'T TELL IT THAT WELL.
614
00:23:20,968 --> 00:23:23,070
THERE'S A LEAF HERE
THAT HAS A PROBLEM.
615
00:23:23,136 --> 00:23:24,471
IT IS REALLY
COSMETIC.
616
00:23:24,538 --> 00:23:26,039
IN THIS
PARTICULAR CASE.
617
00:23:26,106 --> 00:23:28,175
IT MIGHT GET MORE SEVERE
WITH SOME DEFOLIATION.
618
00:23:28,242 --> 00:23:30,611
BUT AT THIS POINT,
IT'S PRETTY MUCH COSMETIC.
619
00:23:30,677 --> 00:23:33,480
ARE THERE ANY PLANTS
THAT CAN BE KILLED BY THIS ?
620
00:23:33,547 --> 00:23:35,716
I THINK OF SOME
OF THE OUTDOOR PLANTS
621
00:23:35,782 --> 00:23:37,584
AGAIN, PHLOX AND MONARDA.
622
00:23:37,651 --> 00:23:39,419
THEY CAN GET IT
SO SEVERELY
623
00:23:39,486 --> 00:23:41,622
THAT EVENTUALLY
THEY WILL DEFOLIATE.
624
00:23:41,688 --> 00:23:43,156
WHICH ISN'T GOOD.
625
00:23:43,223 --> 00:23:44,458
WHICH IS NOT GOOD.
626
00:23:44,525 --> 00:23:47,461
THERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU CAN DO
IF YOU'RE HAVING PROBLEMS.
627
00:23:47,528 --> 00:23:48,795
ONE OF THEM IS TO--
628
00:23:48,862 --> 00:23:50,898
PARTICULARLY
WITH THINGS LIKE PHLOX--
629
00:23:50,964 --> 00:23:53,700
LOOK FOR VARIETIES THAT ARE
RESISTANT TO POWDERY MILDEWS.
630
00:23:53,767 --> 00:23:55,536
THOSE ARE
COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE.
631
00:23:55,602 --> 00:23:58,138
IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU WON'T
EVER GET POWDERY MILDEW.
632
00:23:58,205 --> 00:24:00,607
BUT YOU CAN
MINIMIZE IT.
THAT'S RIGHT.
633
00:24:00,674 --> 00:24:02,075
ANOTHER THING YOU CAN DO--
634
00:24:02,142 --> 00:24:05,045
I RECOMMEND CULTURAL PRACTICES
THAT WILL BE EFFECTIVE.
635
00:24:05,112 --> 00:24:08,115
WHAT THAT REALLY MEANS IS
SPACING YOUR PLANTS FAR APART
636
00:24:08,182 --> 00:24:10,117
SO YOU GET
A LOT OF AIR MOVEMENT.
637
00:24:10,184 --> 00:24:12,219
THAT WILL REDUCE
THE HUMIDITY.
638
00:24:12,286 --> 00:24:14,054
ALSO, IF YOU'RE
USING A LOT OF WATER
639
00:24:14,121 --> 00:24:16,456
IF YOU'RE WATERING A LOT,
CUT BACK A LITTLE BIT.
640
00:24:16,523 --> 00:24:17,691
STOP IT, BASICALLY
641
00:24:17,758 --> 00:24:20,427
BECAUSE THAT WILL INCREASE
HUMIDITY AROUND YOUR PLANTS.
642
00:24:20,494 --> 00:24:22,696
ALSO, IF YOU'VE MULCHED
AND THAT'S REALLY WET
643
00:24:22,763 --> 00:24:25,432
YOU MIGHT WANT TO SPREAD
THAT OUT AND LET IT DRY A BIT.
644
00:24:25,499 --> 00:24:27,201
REDUCE WATER
AROUND THE PLANTS.
645
00:24:27,267 --> 00:24:30,070
IF IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE
A REALLY BAD INFESTATION
646
00:24:30,137 --> 00:24:32,372
CAN WE START USING
THE FUNGICIDES ?
647
00:24:32,439 --> 00:24:34,341
THERE ARE FUNGICIDES
THAT ARE AVAILABLE.
648
00:24:34,408 --> 00:24:36,743
YOU CAN BUY THEM
AT YOUR LOCAL GARDENING STORE.
649
00:24:36,810 --> 00:24:38,946
I USUALLY RECOMMEND THAT
AS A LAST RESORT.
650
00:24:39,012 --> 00:24:40,414
I ALSO TYPICALLY RECOMMEND
651
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,816
THAT IF PEOPLE ARE
GOING TO BE USING FUNGICIDES
652
00:24:42,883 --> 00:24:45,152
THAT THEY CONTACT
THEIR COUNTY EXTENSION AGENT
653
00:24:45,219 --> 00:24:47,120
BEFORE THEY DO THAT
TO GET INFORMATION
654
00:24:47,187 --> 00:24:50,090
ON WHAT PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE
AND HOW TO USE THEM.
655
00:24:50,157 --> 00:24:51,491
THE COUNTY
EXTENSION AGENTS
656
00:24:51,558 --> 00:24:54,094
ARE REALLY OUR FRONT-RUNNERS
FOR DISEASE PROBLEMS.
657
00:24:54,161 --> 00:24:55,362
THAT'S RIGHT.
658
00:24:55,429 --> 00:24:58,065
IF YOU'RE HAVING A DISEASE
PROBLEM AND NEED A DIAGNOSIS
659
00:24:58,131 --> 00:25:00,834
TAKE A PLANT SAMPLE INTO
YOUR COUNTY EXTENSION AGENT.
660
00:25:00,901 --> 00:25:03,804
THEY'RE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE
AND CAN, LOTS OF TIMES
661
00:25:03,871 --> 00:25:06,940
TELL YOU WHAT THE DISEASE IS,
RIGHT IN THEIR OFFICE.
662
00:25:07,007 --> 00:25:08,642
IF THEY'RE
HAVING PROBLEMS
663
00:25:08,709 --> 00:25:10,911
THEY CAN FORWARD
THE SAMPLE TO MY LAB.
664
00:25:10,978 --> 00:25:12,746
WE HAVE A FOR-FEE SERVICE.
665
00:25:12,813 --> 00:25:15,382
FOR A SMALL FEE, YOU CAN
SEND YOUR PLANTS TO MY LAB.
666
00:25:15,449 --> 00:25:17,451
WE'LL DIAGNOSE
THE PROBLEM FOR YOU
667
00:25:17,518 --> 00:25:20,320
AND SEND YOU THE DIAGNOSIS
AND INFORMATION ON CONTROL.
668
00:25:20,387 --> 00:25:21,221
GREAT.
669
00:25:21,288 --> 00:25:22,589
THANKS, BRIAN.
670
00:25:22,656 --> 00:25:24,157
GET SOMETHING
TO WRITE WITH.
671
00:25:24,224 --> 00:25:25,559
WE'LL GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION
672
00:25:25,626 --> 00:25:30,297
ABOUT GETTING DISEASED
PLANT MATERIALS TO BRIAN.
673
00:25:53,387 --> 00:25:56,823
WE FORGOT TO TALK ABOUT MY
FAVORITE SUMMER GARDEN ACTIVITY:
674
00:25:56,890 --> 00:25:58,458
SITTING IN THE SHADE
675
00:25:58,525 --> 00:26:01,228
AND WATCHING SOMEBODY ELSE
PULL THE WEEDS.
676
00:26:01,295 --> 00:26:02,829
