Pardon me. How you how you doing the

00:00:54,366 --> 00:00:57,147
today? I'm great. Okay. Well, it's it's hot

22
00:00:57,147 --> 00:00:59,292
out there this morning. Well, it is hot,

23
00:00:59,530 --> 00:01:00,483
but I'm much...

24
00:01:01,533 --> 00:01:03,925
Happier when it's a hundred than when it's

25
00:01:03,925 --> 00:01:06,077
20. Are you more of a... I'm a

26
00:01:06,077 --> 00:01:08,788
summertime girl. Are you? Yeah. I think in

27
00:01:08,788 --> 00:01:10,553
your line of work, you'd... You just about

28
00:01:10,553 --> 00:01:11,108
have to be.

29
00:01:12,059 --> 00:01:14,199
You talking just like... You talk about getting

30
00:01:14,199 --> 00:01:15,651
in the greenhouse and

31
00:01:16,261 --> 00:01:18,102
this... What... I don't know what temperature supposed

32
00:01:18,102 --> 00:01:19,377
to be... It's gonna be in the nineties

33
00:01:19,377 --> 00:01:21,210
and it's hot, but you talk about being

34
00:01:21,210 --> 00:01:23,282
inside a greenhouse and it gets exponentially hotter.

35
00:01:23,441 --> 00:01:24,716
Is that right? It does.

36
00:01:25,288 --> 00:01:27,508
It it gets quite a bit hotter in

37
00:01:27,508 --> 00:01:30,125
night right. Right. But, you know, I... Some

38
00:01:30,125 --> 00:01:30,625
people

39
00:01:31,235 --> 00:01:32,583
some people do better in winter.

40
00:01:33,314 --> 00:01:35,395
Some people do better than summer, I can

41
00:01:35,555 --> 00:01:36,515
I can take either?

42
00:01:37,075 --> 00:01:38,435
The only thing I don't like about summer.

43
00:01:38,915 --> 00:01:40,594
If I'm not working in it, I don't

44
00:01:40,594 --> 00:01:41,555
mind it too bad.

45
00:01:42,289 --> 00:01:43,566
But when you... You know, when you go

46
00:01:43,566 --> 00:01:45,003
in and say you gotta get cleaned up

47
00:01:45,003 --> 00:01:46,679
or something like you gotta go to a

48
00:01:46,679 --> 00:01:48,195
wedding, You know, something like that where you

49
00:01:48,195 --> 00:01:49,871
have to be nicely dressed and you gotta

50
00:01:49,871 --> 00:01:51,876
be clean. And you go out and you

51
00:01:51,876 --> 00:01:53,623
have to sit outside and it's just burning

52
00:01:53,623 --> 00:01:55,767
up and you're sweating through your clothes. That's

53
00:01:55,767 --> 00:01:57,990
what I don't like. I agree. You know?

54
00:01:58,308 --> 00:02:00,890
I agree. When you wanna be and dry

55
00:02:00,950 --> 00:02:03,430
and and feel clean. It's not the... I

56
00:02:03,430 --> 00:02:06,790
don't know why people have outdoor events. I

57
00:02:06,790 --> 00:02:09,281
don't know you dress up. Event. Don't stop

58
00:02:09,281 --> 00:02:10,876
a year. I don't Oh, either. I was

59
00:02:10,876 --> 00:02:12,391
talking to somebody the other day had to

60
00:02:12,391 --> 00:02:13,029
go to a wedding,

61
00:02:14,385 --> 00:02:16,698
and they said everybody was just sweating through

62
00:02:16,698 --> 00:02:18,626
their clothes. You know, It was just just

63
00:02:18,626 --> 00:02:20,455
miserable outside. Now, if you going do it

64
00:02:20,455 --> 00:02:22,387
it indoors, you know, that's fine, but

65
00:02:23,239 --> 00:02:25,244
outdoor stuff this time of year, You know,

66
00:02:25,403 --> 00:02:27,159
if it's... Yeah. When you're shorts and flip

67
00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:29,634
flop. Right. Right. Be as comfortable as you

68
00:02:29,634 --> 00:02:31,709
can. You know? So I'm I'm I'm right

69
00:02:31,709 --> 00:02:33,326
there with you on that. So,

70
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,400
Amy, I'm I'm gonna be honest with you.

71
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,080
I... My wife has been at the Corbyn

72
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,960
Creek before. She's been out there with our

73
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,800
kids and and purchased some of y'all plants.

74
00:02:42,054 --> 00:02:43,883
But me, personally, I've never been out there

75
00:02:43,883 --> 00:02:46,349
before. So this is this is all new

76
00:02:46,349 --> 00:02:48,099
to me. You're gonna be my guide on

77
00:02:48,099 --> 00:02:50,897
the Corbyn creek, Greenhouse express teach me about

78
00:02:50,897 --> 00:02:51,693
this stuff? Okay?

79
00:02:52,488 --> 00:02:54,237
So I'm I'm just... You know, I'm wondering

80
00:02:54,237 --> 00:02:56,781
that the history of Ko Creek. How did

81
00:02:56,781 --> 00:02:58,664
all of this come into exist a

82
00:02:59,341 --> 00:03:00,773
I know y'all been doing it a long

83
00:03:00,773 --> 00:03:03,661
time. Well, we've been growing flowers

84
00:03:04,036 --> 00:03:05,708
for 25 years.

85
00:03:06,583 --> 00:03:07,561
It started...

86
00:03:08,590 --> 00:03:09,650
My father,

87
00:03:12,349 --> 00:03:13,650
and my brother

88
00:03:13,949 --> 00:03:17,021
had a to tobacco company.

89
00:03:17,716 --> 00:03:19,411
They actually brought

90
00:03:20,584 --> 00:03:21,084
the

91
00:03:21,620 --> 00:03:22,518
float method

92
00:03:23,228 --> 00:03:24,364
to this area,

93
00:03:25,455 --> 00:03:25,955
greenhouse,

94
00:03:27,603 --> 00:03:28,103
and

95
00:03:28,557 --> 00:03:29,057
he

96
00:03:30,564 --> 00:03:32,742
decided 1 year that

97
00:03:33,121 --> 00:03:36,318
if they could grow tobacco and greenhouse, they

98
00:03:36,318 --> 00:03:39,435
could grow flowers or we would... He would

99
00:03:39,435 --> 00:03:39,675
try.

100
00:03:40,569 --> 00:03:42,030
So he put up

101
00:03:42,330 --> 00:03:42,830
1

102
00:03:43,210 --> 00:03:44,509
greenhouse in

103
00:03:45,050 --> 00:03:46,250
the first year,

104
00:03:46,810 --> 00:03:50,503
he gave all the flowers away. To tobacco

105
00:03:50,503 --> 00:03:51,003
customers.

106
00:03:52,021 --> 00:03:53,939
And then the second year,

107
00:03:54,578 --> 00:03:57,215
we started charging for them and people were

108
00:03:57,215 --> 00:03:57,455
like,

109
00:03:58,108 --> 00:03:58,847
Now wait,

110
00:03:59,461 --> 00:04:01,291
last year this was free.

111
00:04:01,927 --> 00:04:03,939
Well, it became a business.

112
00:04:04,871 --> 00:04:07,991
So that's how it started. Was my dad.

113
00:04:09,266 --> 00:04:11,498
So with the the float method, he was

114
00:04:11,498 --> 00:04:13,252
kind of a pioneer in that. He was.

115
00:04:13,491 --> 00:04:15,006
He and my brother. Yes.

116
00:04:15,498 --> 00:04:18,443
And he was open minded to not only

117
00:04:18,443 --> 00:04:21,308
doing tobacco, but but flowers that way. Exactly.

118
00:04:21,547 --> 00:04:22,763
What what do you think

119
00:04:23,393 --> 00:04:25,467
let him to to pursue flowers.

120
00:04:25,946 --> 00:04:28,440
Did he... It was because, some people just

121
00:04:28,817 --> 00:04:30,971
you're like, I love flowers, man. I could

122
00:04:30,971 --> 00:04:32,327
go to the store and just buy flowers

123
00:04:32,327 --> 00:04:34,256
for me. And put them on face table

124
00:04:34,336 --> 00:04:36,250
That's how much I enjoy him. But for

125
00:04:36,250 --> 00:04:37,606
him, you know, what what do you think

126
00:04:37,606 --> 00:04:39,360
led his mind to that? Was he somebody

127
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,035
that love flowers? Or did he just see

128
00:04:41,035 --> 00:04:43,004
it as more of, like, a a business

129
00:04:43,204 --> 00:04:43,444
venture.

130
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,897
He traveled a lot

131
00:04:48,473 --> 00:04:48,973
between

132
00:04:49,591 --> 00:04:52,087
plant city in Lab, Florida

133
00:04:52,799 --> 00:04:53,857
With these

134
00:04:54,632 --> 00:04:57,741
tobacco plants and greenhouse and all of that.

135
00:04:58,299 --> 00:05:00,074
And I think he saw

136
00:05:01,182 --> 00:05:03,666
what was going on down there with

137
00:05:04,197 --> 00:05:07,450
flower per, you know, growing flowers and things

138
00:05:07,450 --> 00:05:08,402
and thought well,

139
00:05:10,084 --> 00:05:11,219
he was just

140
00:05:12,070 --> 00:05:13,364
my dad was

141
00:05:14,532 --> 00:05:16,835
that kind of person if he saw something

142
00:05:16,835 --> 00:05:17,153
new,

143
00:05:17,803 --> 00:05:20,428
that interested him, he was gonna try it.

144
00:05:21,065 --> 00:05:23,372
And he was gonna go into it in

145
00:05:23,372 --> 00:05:24,269
a big way

146
00:05:25,057 --> 00:05:27,363
I've, you know, business minded people. I think

147
00:05:27,363 --> 00:05:29,193
that's kind of a commonality they have, You

148
00:05:29,193 --> 00:05:31,261
know, especially when you have... When you have

149
00:05:31,261 --> 00:05:32,613
to think outside of the box.

150
00:05:33,423 --> 00:05:35,485
And you know, that's a... I'm... What year

151
00:05:35,485 --> 00:05:36,675
do you think that was? Will that have

152
00:05:36,675 --> 00:05:37,572
been in the

153
00:05:38,023 --> 00:05:38,523
seventies

154
00:05:39,293 --> 00:05:41,117
or... Well there. That...

155
00:05:42,009 --> 00:05:42,509
Tobacco

156
00:05:43,050 --> 00:05:43,550
started

157
00:05:44,410 --> 00:05:45,310
in the

158
00:05:47,209 --> 00:05:47,709
eighties

159
00:05:48,170 --> 00:05:50,330
when they brought that method here.

160
00:05:53,766 --> 00:05:55,775
We started the flower

161
00:05:56,546 --> 00:05:57,046
greenhouse

162
00:05:57,579 --> 00:05:58,079
in

163
00:05:58,771 --> 00:06:00,144
the mid nineties.

164
00:06:02,042 --> 00:06:03,946
So the the float method for people that

165
00:06:03,946 --> 00:06:06,169
don't know. Can you just explain that what

166
00:06:06,169 --> 00:06:07,042
what that means.

167
00:06:08,724 --> 00:06:11,918
In a basic way. And for... Growing tobacco.

168
00:06:12,237 --> 00:06:15,191
Your tobacco or flowers you... Don't float flowers.

169
00:06:15,430 --> 00:06:17,426
You don't. No. Oh, I thought you so

170
00:06:17,426 --> 00:06:18,086
when he

171
00:06:18,637 --> 00:06:20,149
when he used the float method for the

172
00:06:20,149 --> 00:06:21,660
tobacco, he didn't he didn't use that for

173
00:06:21,660 --> 00:06:24,604
the fall. Okay. No. No. Alright. I need

174
00:06:24,604 --> 00:06:25,639
misunderstood understood you. Flowers.

175
00:06:26,275 --> 00:06:26,775
So

176
00:06:27,563 --> 00:06:29,629
Okay. So you he pioneered the float method

177
00:06:29,629 --> 00:06:32,012
for tobacco. And then his mind just got

178
00:06:32,012 --> 00:06:33,602
started on the flowers after that, and they

179
00:06:33,602 --> 00:06:35,446
were just grown in the greenhouse. Yes. Right

180
00:06:35,446 --> 00:06:37,437
off the bat. Okay. Okay. I misunderstood. I

181
00:06:37,437 --> 00:06:39,110
was thinking you grew them in a... You

182
00:06:39,110 --> 00:06:41,260
used the float method on some butter cups

183
00:06:41,260 --> 00:06:43,171
out there or something. Okay. Alright.

184
00:06:44,380 --> 00:06:45,811
Well, in that case, you don't have to

185
00:06:45,811 --> 00:06:46,925
explain it then because I don't I don't

186
00:06:46,925 --> 00:06:48,197
know if it's... Unless you just want x.

187
00:06:48,435 --> 00:06:48,595
Yeah.

188
00:06:49,628 --> 00:06:50,685
Okay. So he

189
00:06:51,298 --> 00:06:52,355
took that and

190
00:06:52,889 --> 00:06:53,548
was it

191
00:06:53,937 --> 00:06:55,920
the first flowers that were grown, were they

192
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,459
were they inside of a greenhouse? Yes. Okay.

193
00:06:58,856 --> 00:07:00,149
Do you remember what

194
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:01,553
species they were?

195
00:07:02,204 --> 00:07:03,818
It was mostly Pet

196
00:07:04,512 --> 00:07:05,012
and

197
00:07:06,980 --> 00:07:08,174
common things.

198
00:07:08,572 --> 00:07:09,630
Mh. That

199
00:07:10,418 --> 00:07:13,941
you see around here a lot. That's mostly

200
00:07:14,157 --> 00:07:16,941
what the first ones were. Okay. And then

201
00:07:17,594 --> 00:07:18,791
You know, I that was kinda like a

202
00:07:18,791 --> 00:07:20,627
trial run it sounded like where he gave

203
00:07:20,627 --> 00:07:22,064
him away to a lot of

204
00:07:22,622 --> 00:07:24,777
a lot of neighbors and whatnot. And then

205
00:07:24,777 --> 00:07:25,576
the next year,

206
00:07:26,229 --> 00:07:28,133
maybe they got a little bit a little

207
00:07:28,133 --> 00:07:29,959
bit sp and he started charging for him

208
00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:31,149
after that it sounded like.

209
00:07:32,181 --> 00:07:33,292
Yeah. Yep. Okay.

210
00:07:34,660 --> 00:07:36,812
It it's telling about, you know, common stuff,

211
00:07:37,051 --> 00:07:37,551
pet,

212
00:07:38,087 --> 00:07:38,326
stuff

213
00:07:38,963 --> 00:07:41,035
opportunity is pretty... From what I understand about

214
00:07:41,035 --> 00:07:42,867
them. They're pretty easy to grow. They're pretty

215
00:07:42,867 --> 00:07:44,977
hardy plant. They are Pet,

216
00:07:45,513 --> 00:07:46,013
Beg,

217
00:07:47,188 --> 00:07:49,899
things that have been around for for years.

218
00:07:50,457 --> 00:07:53,420
Okay. So, you know, once he sorry once

219
00:07:53,420 --> 00:07:55,086
he did this, and I... I'm sure he

220
00:07:55,086 --> 00:07:55,586
saw

221
00:07:55,958 --> 00:07:57,783
potential in it, obviously, he kept going,

222
00:07:59,608 --> 00:08:01,689
was it just year after year, growing a

223
00:08:01,689 --> 00:08:03,870
little bit more. Y'all just keep getting more

224
00:08:03,930 --> 00:08:05,209
greenhouse or... Yeah.

225
00:08:08,170 --> 00:08:10,343
2 or 3 years after... Du,

226
00:08:11,062 --> 00:08:12,200
we started,

227
00:08:13,217 --> 00:08:16,830
then the genetics and all of these flowers

228
00:08:17,767 --> 00:08:18,267
became

229
00:08:19,379 --> 00:08:22,199
the main thing. And all these prop

230
00:08:23,060 --> 00:08:23,560
and

231
00:08:24,259 --> 00:08:24,759
breeder

232
00:08:25,699 --> 00:08:26,199
started,

233
00:08:28,913 --> 00:08:29,413
expanding,

234
00:08:30,030 --> 00:08:30,929
well, a

235
00:08:31,467 --> 00:08:32,765
used to be a pet.

236
00:08:33,543 --> 00:08:37,156
Now, there are as many different

237
00:08:37,708 --> 00:08:38,208
types

238
00:08:39,221 --> 00:08:40,039
of pet

239
00:08:40,654 --> 00:08:42,109
as many different

240
00:08:42,644 --> 00:08:43,144
genetics

241
00:08:44,157 --> 00:08:45,453
as there are

242
00:08:46,084 --> 00:08:46,584
colors.

243
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,338
It's it's

244
00:08:49,115 --> 00:08:50,412
it has become

245
00:08:51,268 --> 00:08:52,964
more of a scientific

246
00:08:53,661 --> 00:08:55,416
thing now than it used to be.

247
00:08:56,389 --> 00:08:57,927
It... I'm sure with the technology

248
00:08:58,306 --> 00:09:00,383
evolve and and I'm I'm not sure the

249
00:09:00,383 --> 00:09:01,981
the methods of how they do that. Like

250
00:09:01,981 --> 00:09:04,549
you said, I'm sure it's quite scientific how

251
00:09:04,549 --> 00:09:07,281
they... It is in these big breeding,

252
00:09:08,375 --> 00:09:08,694
propagation,

253
00:09:09,331 --> 00:09:10,150
tissue culture.

254
00:09:11,338 --> 00:09:11,838
Houses.

255
00:09:12,293 --> 00:09:14,837
Yes. So for y'all to stayed any, I'm

256
00:09:14,837 --> 00:09:17,779
sure you've obviously had to evolve with that

257
00:09:17,779 --> 00:09:20,267
and and keep paying been wonderful.

258
00:09:21,293 --> 00:09:22,349
Seeing the

259
00:09:22,802 --> 00:09:24,016
evolution and

260
00:09:24,549 --> 00:09:26,160
seeing the improvements

261
00:09:27,090 --> 00:09:29,710
that have been made. Yeah. Does it make

262
00:09:29,710 --> 00:09:29,869
it?

263
00:09:30,999 --> 00:09:33,556
Easy in in a sense just having the

264
00:09:33,556 --> 00:09:36,114
options available, or is it... There's so much

265
00:09:36,114 --> 00:09:38,351
out there that can be overwhelming trying to

266
00:09:38,351 --> 00:09:41,477
figure out. Be very over Wilmington trying to

267
00:09:41,477 --> 00:09:42,113
figure out.

268
00:09:43,068 --> 00:09:45,636
We have gone the route

269
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:46,750
of

270
00:09:47,858 --> 00:09:48,358
Stronger

271
00:09:48,975 --> 00:09:49,475
genetics,

272
00:09:50,492 --> 00:09:50,891
heat,

273
00:09:52,168 --> 00:09:52,668
tolerant,

274
00:09:53,125 --> 00:09:54,184
drought, tolerant,

275
00:09:56,012 --> 00:09:56,512
plants

276
00:09:57,603 --> 00:09:59,614
to carry you through

277
00:10:00,785 --> 00:10:01,682
the temperatures

278
00:10:02,137 --> 00:10:03,210
and he humidity

279
00:10:03,590 --> 00:10:05,670
that we're going through right now.

280
00:10:06,389 --> 00:10:07,210
We also

281
00:10:09,509 --> 00:10:10,009
expanded

282
00:10:11,029 --> 00:10:11,529
into

283
00:10:12,085 --> 00:10:13,945
growing our own perennial.

284
00:10:14,804 --> 00:10:15,705
We grow

285
00:10:16,165 --> 00:10:17,785
from bear root.

286
00:10:19,365 --> 00:10:21,144
We get the root in

287
00:10:22,018 --> 00:10:23,135
pot them up,

288
00:10:23,693 --> 00:10:26,244
bring them out of dorm sea, and that

289
00:10:26,244 --> 00:10:27,302
has become

290
00:10:27,998 --> 00:10:30,470
a a big part of what we do.

291
00:10:30,804 --> 00:10:31,703
We grow

292
00:10:32,956 --> 00:10:33,855
a world

293
00:10:34,232 --> 00:10:34,971
of vegetable,

294
00:10:37,181 --> 00:10:38,775
plants for people.

295
00:10:39,189 --> 00:10:42,536
And we seed all of my mother who's

296
00:10:42,536 --> 00:10:43,435
87

297
00:10:43,812 --> 00:10:45,029
hand seeds

298
00:10:45,406 --> 00:10:45,906
all

299
00:10:46,282 --> 00:10:46,782
of

300
00:10:47,253 --> 00:10:48,126
the tomatoes,

301
00:10:48,523 --> 00:10:48,999
peppers,

302
00:10:49,475 --> 00:10:49,975
squash,

303
00:10:51,697 --> 00:10:52,729
all of the

304
00:10:53,601 --> 00:10:56,896
garden plants that we sell. Wait we are

305
00:10:56,953 --> 00:10:58,249
we are not mechanized.

306
00:10:59,022 --> 00:10:59,841
Our mech

307
00:11:00,216 --> 00:11:00,716
recommendation

308
00:11:01,330 --> 00:11:01,830
is...

309
00:11:03,653 --> 00:11:07,868
Filling our pots, flats, trays, whatever with our

310
00:11:07,868 --> 00:11:08,368
hands

311
00:11:08,743 --> 00:11:11,606
out of a big old water and trough.

312
00:11:12,257 --> 00:11:14,725
I think that adds to the the cool

313
00:11:14,725 --> 00:11:16,737
of it myself, You know, just the

314
00:11:17,828 --> 00:11:19,994
maintaining that old timing method. It and in

315
00:11:19,994 --> 00:11:21,352
doing it. You know, It's just... I think

316
00:11:21,352 --> 00:11:23,190
that's character building. The fact your mom is

317
00:11:23,190 --> 00:11:25,108
out there 87 years old still doing that.

318
00:11:25,348 --> 00:11:27,505
That's fantastic. There's not a lot of people

319
00:11:27,505 --> 00:11:29,274
that can say that. No. And,

320
00:11:30,307 --> 00:11:30,807
so

321
00:11:31,500 --> 00:11:32,000
it

322
00:11:32,375 --> 00:11:35,101
it's it's truly been a family

323
00:11:36,112 --> 00:11:36,351
venture,

324
00:11:38,754 --> 00:11:41,654
has its good times, and it's bad times,

325
00:11:42,115 --> 00:11:42,514
and...

326
00:11:44,754 --> 00:11:46,914
But it's good. Oh, it's... I'm I'm sure.

327
00:11:47,154 --> 00:11:49,476
I'm sure you... Blessed many people in the

328
00:11:49,476 --> 00:11:50,905
in the process of doing it as well

329
00:11:50,905 --> 00:11:51,461
as yourselves.

330
00:11:52,176 --> 00:11:53,628
So as this

331
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,463
progressed through the years, did your day... Obviously,

332
00:11:56,622 --> 00:11:58,785
you're gonna learned through trial and error, obviously.

333
00:11:59,024 --> 00:12:01,650
But did he have people... Like, I know

334
00:12:01,650 --> 00:12:03,481
you said he in Florida Some? I'm sure

335
00:12:03,481 --> 00:12:05,710
he picked up knowledge there from some of

336
00:12:05,710 --> 00:12:07,798
those folks. Learn about how to grow plants.

337
00:12:07,958 --> 00:12:08,277
Did he...

338
00:12:09,396 --> 00:12:11,792
Not really. So it was something he just

339
00:12:11,792 --> 00:12:14,364
kind of Yeah fourth on his own, He

340
00:12:14,364 --> 00:12:16,540
didn't have a mentor with it. No

341
00:12:19,072 --> 00:12:21,307
not really. It was just kind of a

342
00:12:21,307 --> 00:12:23,899
trial and error. He had been a farm

343
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,460
all of his life, and he knew

344
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,960
and the 1 thing that he taught,

345
00:12:31,970 --> 00:12:32,289
Us,

346
00:12:32,847 --> 00:12:36,116
and it's the most important thing is first,

347
00:12:36,276 --> 00:12:39,407
you have to grow a healthy root system.

348
00:12:41,552 --> 00:12:44,282
And so from that, we just,

349
00:12:44,658 --> 00:12:45,136
you know.

350
00:12:46,092 --> 00:12:48,561
Starts there. It starts right there.

351
00:12:49,134 --> 00:12:50,968
So, you know, speaking of the root system

352
00:12:50,968 --> 00:12:52,643
to make sure that happens, what...

353
00:12:53,281 --> 00:12:54,877
And this can be applied to people that

354
00:12:54,877 --> 00:12:56,631
just have a a hobby garden, for example,

355
00:12:56,871 --> 00:12:58,306
it all starts with the root system.

356
00:12:59,435 --> 00:13:02,845
What do you try to really focus on

357
00:13:02,845 --> 00:13:04,748
to make that happen from the start to

358
00:13:04,748 --> 00:13:06,493
make sure the plan is gonna have an

359
00:13:06,493 --> 00:13:08,982
advantage. Of 1 80 emerges. Well, for me

360
00:13:08,982 --> 00:13:11,698
it all starts with the soul or the

361
00:13:11,698 --> 00:13:12,737
growing media.

362
00:13:14,575 --> 00:13:17,397
It's and it has gotten so expensive.

363
00:13:18,966 --> 00:13:19,466
But

364
00:13:21,114 --> 00:13:22,944
that's the most important thing.

365
00:13:26,391 --> 00:13:29,447
When you take a little rooted ke

366
00:13:30,226 --> 00:13:30,726
that's

367
00:13:31,278 --> 00:13:31,778
maybe

368
00:13:32,234 --> 00:13:33,531
2 inches tall

369
00:13:33,907 --> 00:13:34,805
and the

370
00:13:35,580 --> 00:13:36,080
circumference

371
00:13:36,536 --> 00:13:37,514
of that

372
00:13:38,368 --> 00:13:39,505
root system

373
00:13:40,613 --> 00:13:41,750
out of that little

374
00:13:42,205 --> 00:13:43,819
plug tray is

375
00:13:44,194 --> 00:13:47,002
maybe 2 inches, and you put it in

376
00:13:47,377 --> 00:13:48,991
a 6 inch pot

377
00:13:50,415 --> 00:13:51,686
with wet soul,

378
00:13:53,592 --> 00:13:54,887
you've got to

379
00:13:55,261 --> 00:13:56,214
concentrate on...

380
00:13:58,376 --> 00:14:01,263
Not over watering, not to dry

381
00:14:02,115 --> 00:14:03,410
until those roots

382
00:14:04,277 --> 00:14:05,491
get established

383
00:14:06,341 --> 00:14:08,508
and spread to the

384
00:14:10,390 --> 00:14:11,025
pot cells.

385
00:14:11,914 --> 00:14:14,865
So before that happens, it's... It's essentially just

386
00:14:14,865 --> 00:14:16,163
making sure it's kind of

387
00:14:17,417 --> 00:14:19,013
maybe baby in a way to make sure

388
00:14:19,013 --> 00:14:20,927
not too wet, not too dry trust right.

389
00:14:21,246 --> 00:14:22,137
Baby. Pride.

390
00:14:23,091 --> 00:14:24,863
And all plants

391
00:14:27,146 --> 00:14:27,964
have different

392
00:14:28,736 --> 00:14:29,554
growth habits

393
00:14:29,944 --> 00:14:31,563
different water requirements,

394
00:14:33,460 --> 00:14:36,736
but it all starts with for me, the

395
00:14:36,736 --> 00:14:37,535
soul. Mh.

396
00:14:38,267 --> 00:14:41,210
Your your pot sold that Y'all use in

397
00:14:41,210 --> 00:14:43,517
your greenhouse is where is that source from?

398
00:14:44,312 --> 00:14:45,523
Go up. It is.

399
00:14:46,321 --> 00:14:49,535
Alright. Wonderful. Look at it. Growing media,

400
00:14:50,392 --> 00:14:51,191
our pot,

401
00:14:51,749 --> 00:14:53,207
pal and Christy.

402
00:14:54,238 --> 00:14:55,456
Do a fabulous

403
00:14:56,230 --> 00:14:56,730
job

404
00:14:57,346 --> 00:14:58,462
of getting...

405
00:14:58,860 --> 00:15:01,432
We use different sizes for different

406
00:15:01,903 --> 00:15:02,302
things.

407
00:15:03,099 --> 00:15:03,599
And

408
00:15:04,535 --> 00:15:08,144
yeah, all of our growing media and

409
00:15:08,521 --> 00:15:08,920
pots,

410
00:15:09,478 --> 00:15:09,978
trays,

411
00:15:11,166 --> 00:15:11,666
inserts

412
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:12,620
whatever

413
00:15:13,710 --> 00:15:14,028
is,

414
00:15:14,981 --> 00:15:16,197
it comes from

415
00:15:16,889 --> 00:15:17,923
Robertson County.

416
00:15:18,479 --> 00:15:18,797
C.

417
00:15:19,354 --> 00:15:19,751
Alright.

418
00:15:20,402 --> 00:15:21,830
Alright. That's... I... You know, I I've heard

419
00:15:21,988 --> 00:15:23,337
Kyle talk about that before.

420
00:15:25,321 --> 00:15:26,669
So... Because we were when we still... When

421
00:15:26,669 --> 00:15:29,066
we start doing this podcast, we... We talked

422
00:15:29,066 --> 00:15:30,577
about having y'all alone here, and then, of

423
00:15:30,577 --> 00:15:32,884
course time goes by and then thought about

424
00:15:32,884 --> 00:15:34,714
you And and look at us now. We're

425
00:15:34,714 --> 00:15:36,563
sitting here just sit... Done talking about pet

426
00:15:36,563 --> 00:15:38,961
and coop soul and just like brother and

427
00:15:38,961 --> 00:15:41,678
sister or Right. So, you know, the soul

428
00:15:41,678 --> 00:15:43,915
itself, what does... When you put these

429
00:15:45,206 --> 00:15:46,240
seed in there,

430
00:15:46,876 --> 00:15:48,307
you know, when I when I think of

431
00:15:48,466 --> 00:15:50,374
Tennessee soil. Somebody that wants to have a

432
00:15:50,374 --> 00:15:51,647
hobby garden in their backyard.

433
00:15:52,203 --> 00:15:53,475
You know, a lot of times it's red

434
00:15:53,475 --> 00:15:55,644
to clay sole. Depending on where they live.

435
00:15:56,605 --> 00:15:58,605
That's not gonna be conducive to what you're

436
00:15:58,605 --> 00:16:00,524
doing, I wouldn't think. No No, not. We

437
00:16:00,524 --> 00:16:01,024
use

438
00:16:01,805 --> 00:16:02,305
sol.

439
00:16:03,419 --> 00:16:04,718
Growing media.

440
00:16:05,816 --> 00:16:06,136
Now,

441
00:16:09,172 --> 00:16:10,071
I will

442
00:16:11,743 --> 00:16:12,961
pinch pennies

443
00:16:14,136 --> 00:16:15,333
on a lot of things,

444
00:16:16,929 --> 00:16:17,827
but not

445
00:16:18,619 --> 00:16:20,937
the soul because that's the beginning.

446
00:16:21,976 --> 00:16:24,473
I had to leave I've used

447
00:16:25,092 --> 00:16:28,404
the same growing media for years

448
00:16:30,538 --> 00:16:31,437
out of Canada.

449
00:16:32,852 --> 00:16:36,777
But it got so expensive that just So

450
00:16:36,777 --> 00:16:39,482
we went to something different this year.

451
00:16:40,676 --> 00:16:41,176
And

452
00:16:42,267 --> 00:16:44,836
Kyle has been coming out and looking

453
00:16:46,023 --> 00:16:49,131
because the beginning and know, what's going on

454
00:16:49,131 --> 00:16:51,601
whether it was right now are 2 different

455
00:16:51,601 --> 00:16:52,637
things for plants.

456
00:16:53,688 --> 00:16:55,761
How is the soil working now?

457
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:57,537
Well, it's drying

458
00:16:57,914 --> 00:16:58,791
really fast.

459
00:16:59,429 --> 00:17:01,842
And we have found... He was there

460
00:17:02,315 --> 00:17:03,674
a couple of weeks ago.

461
00:17:05,914 --> 00:17:06,974
I have found

462
00:17:07,434 --> 00:17:07,934
that

463
00:17:08,315 --> 00:17:10,015
I do not like

464
00:17:10,807 --> 00:17:11,307
this

465
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:12,894
growing media

466
00:17:13,584 --> 00:17:15,036
for the perennial.

467
00:17:16,282 --> 00:17:18,606
So we've already looked at

468
00:17:19,154 --> 00:17:22,344
what we're gonna use for perennial for next

469
00:17:22,344 --> 00:17:23,301
growing season.

470
00:17:24,019 --> 00:17:24,259
So,

471
00:17:24,976 --> 00:17:25,295
I mean,

472
00:17:26,013 --> 00:17:28,268
we've got help right here

473
00:17:30,803 --> 00:17:33,658
with soul and, you know, how is it

474
00:17:33,658 --> 00:17:34,054
doing,

475
00:17:34,609 --> 00:17:36,458
especially when it's something new

476
00:17:37,084 --> 00:17:39,636
Do you like it? Well, for this, it's

477
00:17:39,636 --> 00:17:40,833
fine, but for this,

478
00:17:41,391 --> 00:17:43,805
and he said, well, okay. This is what's

479
00:17:43,864 --> 00:17:44,262
available.

480
00:17:44,741 --> 00:17:48,026
So we've already talked about the route for

481
00:17:48,026 --> 00:17:50,657
perennial that we're gonna go for next growing

482
00:17:50,657 --> 00:17:52,491
season. And it... It's just 1 of those

483
00:17:52,491 --> 00:17:54,724
things that's dependent on the weather. You know,

484
00:17:54,963 --> 00:17:55,862
obviously, we.

485
00:17:56,652 --> 00:17:58,961
Right. We don't know go into... We don't

486
00:17:58,961 --> 00:18:00,155
have much rain we're gonna get the summer.

487
00:18:00,314 --> 00:18:01,349
We don't know if it's gonna be a

488
00:18:01,349 --> 00:18:03,180
mild summer if it's gonna be a summer

489
00:18:03,180 --> 00:18:03,976
we're burning up.

490
00:18:04,630 --> 00:18:06,470
So it's 1 of those things I imagine

491
00:18:06,470 --> 00:18:08,470
you're just... You're trying to give yourself the

492
00:18:08,470 --> 00:18:11,429
best chance at producing a good crop, which

493
00:18:11,429 --> 00:18:13,029
that's all farmers. Right. You know,

494
00:18:14,244 --> 00:18:15,842
but, you know, having those options of it,

495
00:18:15,922 --> 00:18:16,961
and that's where we go back to the

496
00:18:16,961 --> 00:18:19,198
technology. I'm sure within the genetic side of

497
00:18:19,198 --> 00:18:22,369
these plants, you can select 4 plants that

498
00:18:22,489 --> 00:18:23,467
tend to be

499
00:18:24,243 --> 00:18:26,554
more resilient when it comes to dry weather.

500
00:18:26,873 --> 00:18:29,185
Perhaps? Exactly. Is there a trade off in

501
00:18:29,185 --> 00:18:30,562
that though? Like, if you

502
00:18:30,873 --> 00:18:33,017
let's say, you know, we... You anticipate a

503
00:18:33,017 --> 00:18:34,605
hot summer next year. So you say, okay.

504
00:18:34,843 --> 00:18:37,011
I'm gonna try to select for plants that

505
00:18:37,702 --> 00:18:38,258
have been...

506
00:18:39,546 --> 00:18:40,046
Genetically

507
00:18:40,980 --> 00:18:42,892
predisposition to to tolerate that weather,

508
00:18:43,609 --> 00:18:44,428
is there a

509
00:18:44,884 --> 00:18:46,738
is there a price to pay for that

510
00:18:47,194 --> 00:18:48,093
Whenever you

511
00:18:48,643 --> 00:18:50,157
lean that way towards a certain,

512
00:18:51,033 --> 00:18:53,025
genetic quality. Like, does it affect?

513
00:18:53,902 --> 00:18:55,495
I don't know. Like, if it maybe it

514
00:18:55,495 --> 00:18:56,770
is not a hot summer or maybe it's

515
00:18:56,770 --> 00:18:58,218
small of a mild some or do Will

516
00:18:58,218 --> 00:19:00,045
they not do well? Like, is it? They'll

517
00:19:00,045 --> 00:19:01,236
be fine. Sure. Okay.

518
00:19:02,348 --> 00:19:05,763
The majority of the annual that we grow.

519
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,264
Will people use in

520
00:19:08,717 --> 00:19:09,217
containers.

521
00:19:10,544 --> 00:19:11,044
And

522
00:19:11,498 --> 00:19:13,904
the main thing you have to realize

523
00:19:14,278 --> 00:19:15,628
the bigger the container.

524
00:19:16,279 --> 00:19:17,897
The more sole volume,

525
00:19:18,354 --> 00:19:19,094
the more

526
00:19:19,711 --> 00:19:20,211
water

527
00:19:21,068 --> 00:19:21,467
retention,

528
00:19:22,824 --> 00:19:24,180
back off your water,

529
00:19:25,070 --> 00:19:26,205
you can kill

530
00:19:26,579 --> 00:19:28,746
a plant with too much water

531
00:19:29,277 --> 00:19:31,341
just as quick as you can,

532
00:19:32,135 --> 00:19:33,270
letting it

533
00:19:34,055 --> 00:19:34,452
trial.

534
00:19:35,326 --> 00:19:35,826
So,

535
00:19:36,676 --> 00:19:37,153
you know?

536
00:19:38,106 --> 00:19:40,568
It's There was a lot of...

537
00:19:42,647 --> 00:19:42,965
Of,

538
00:19:44,235 --> 00:19:44,735
in

539
00:19:45,585 --> 00:19:48,943
may when we were having those flooding rains

540
00:19:49,729 --> 00:19:52,680
a lot of people, their containers drowned out.

541
00:19:53,318 --> 00:19:53,818
And

542
00:19:54,594 --> 00:19:57,066
rather, the only thing you can do to

543
00:19:57,066 --> 00:19:59,873
stop that is pull it undercover. You know,

544
00:20:00,431 --> 00:20:03,721
so it doesn't get 9 inches of rain

545
00:20:03,779 --> 00:20:06,911
at a time when it... Those flooding rains

546
00:20:06,969 --> 00:20:07,607
come through.

547
00:20:08,578 --> 00:20:09,078
We

548
00:20:09,934 --> 00:20:11,310
we also grow

549
00:20:11,847 --> 00:20:12,984
a lot of produce.

550
00:20:15,673 --> 00:20:16,151
Well,

551
00:20:16,884 --> 00:20:19,059
To this day, we have yet

552
00:20:19,596 --> 00:20:22,228
to have a bean or a ap.

553
00:20:23,663 --> 00:20:24,163
Rain,

554
00:20:24,780 --> 00:20:25,998
rain, rain

555
00:20:26,868 --> 00:20:27,368
the

556
00:20:28,223 --> 00:20:28,723
flooding,

557
00:20:29,099 --> 00:20:30,454
you know, our corn,

558
00:20:31,011 --> 00:20:34,714
it's sweet, early sweet corn. It didn't do

559
00:20:34,772 --> 00:20:35,591
a squat

560
00:20:36,209 --> 00:20:39,240
because it was underwater so many times.

561
00:20:41,969 --> 00:20:44,866
We have rep reprinted and rep reprinted.

562
00:20:46,124 --> 00:20:46,624
And

563
00:20:47,163 --> 00:20:49,261
I think we will finally

564
00:20:50,374 --> 00:20:52,150
have some squash

565
00:20:53,325 --> 00:20:54,521
this next week.

566
00:20:55,398 --> 00:20:57,015
That's exciting. But

567
00:20:57,791 --> 00:20:59,546
I told somebody the other day.

568
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,752
I am going to pick beans and peas

569
00:21:02,752 --> 00:21:05,305
if it's snowing outside when they're ready.

570
00:21:06,263 --> 00:21:06,763
Because

571
00:21:08,427 --> 00:21:10,751
it's just... It has affected everything.

572
00:21:11,679 --> 00:21:12,179
But,

573
00:21:13,424 --> 00:21:14,480
you know, and

574
00:21:14,869 --> 00:21:17,447
then you have no fertilizer left

575
00:21:17,826 --> 00:21:18,805
in the ground.

576
00:21:19,503 --> 00:21:22,460
So we're up here the other day, Christie,

577
00:21:23,113 --> 00:21:26,004
I've got to reapply fertilizer hand

578
00:21:26,380 --> 00:21:28,054
because everything's washed away.

579
00:21:28,691 --> 00:21:29,807
What do I need?

580
00:21:31,340 --> 00:21:31,840
So

581
00:21:32,619 --> 00:21:34,299
she told us what we needed,

582
00:21:35,019 --> 00:21:38,073
and we're out with 5 gallon buckets. Throw

583
00:21:38,073 --> 00:21:40,379
and fertilize fertilizer her behind, and then my

584
00:21:40,379 --> 00:21:43,401
brother be came through with the tractor and

585
00:21:43,401 --> 00:21:45,252
cult and worked in

586
00:21:46,184 --> 00:21:47,718
to see if we can get

587
00:21:49,537 --> 00:21:52,897
Something. Right. It's it's... It's been a very

588
00:21:53,032 --> 00:21:53,532
challenge

589
00:21:54,303 --> 00:21:55,495
here. 0II

590
00:21:55,495 --> 00:21:56,130
can imagine.

591
00:21:56,624 --> 00:21:57,842
I imagine. But

592
00:22:00,373 --> 00:22:02,049
what do you do? You take what the

593
00:22:02,129 --> 00:22:03,898
Lord gives you and you work with it.

594
00:22:04,136 --> 00:22:06,701
When it was strange because April April was

595
00:22:07,392 --> 00:22:10,647
rather un season dry, I thought compared to

596
00:22:10,647 --> 00:22:12,894
other April. With and then meg gets here.

597
00:22:13,134 --> 00:22:14,674
And we get a foot of rain

598
00:22:14,974 --> 00:22:16,815
sometime in the middle of May. And then,

599
00:22:17,134 --> 00:22:18,815
memorial they weekend, we got another. I don't

600
00:22:18,815 --> 00:22:20,835
know how many. Oh, we had

601
00:22:21,229 --> 00:22:21,547
the...

602
00:22:24,731 --> 00:22:25,709
Was it the

603
00:22:26,164 --> 00:22:27,915
first week of April?

604
00:22:30,317 --> 00:22:34,237
We had that horrible hail storm. Now not

605
00:22:34,771 --> 00:22:37,475
everybody was it torn up as we were.

606
00:22:37,729 --> 00:22:39,344
I remember that. Yeah. We

607
00:22:40,357 --> 00:22:41,335
we had

608
00:22:41,711 --> 00:22:44,044
so much damage to

609
00:22:44,499 --> 00:22:44,999
houses,

610
00:22:45,376 --> 00:22:46,411
born raised.

611
00:22:47,064 --> 00:22:47,564
Vehicles,

612
00:22:49,058 --> 00:22:50,116
greenhouse roofs.

613
00:22:51,371 --> 00:22:54,481
And then the rain started, and it rained

614
00:22:54,481 --> 00:22:56,769
and it rained and it rained and it

615
00:22:56,889 --> 00:22:58,080
rained and it rained.

616
00:22:59,987 --> 00:23:02,847
The month of May, we had... There 31

617
00:23:02,847 --> 00:23:05,094
days in May. And I keep

618
00:23:05,483 --> 00:23:06,935
on my daily calendar,

619
00:23:07,547 --> 00:23:09,372
extreme weather when we go,

620
00:23:10,007 --> 00:23:12,094
what I call end this season,

621
00:23:13,279 --> 00:23:14,258
21

622
00:23:14,717 --> 00:23:17,433
days out of those 31. We had an

623
00:23:17,433 --> 00:23:18,812
inch or more

624
00:23:19,191 --> 00:23:19,670
of rain.

625
00:23:20,644 --> 00:23:24,394
Some days, it was 6 inches, 8 inches

626
00:23:24,394 --> 00:23:25,670
1 day we had 12 inch.

627
00:23:26,468 --> 00:23:29,351
Are y'all in an area to what, obviously,

628
00:23:29,590 --> 00:23:31,182
heavy rain like that is gonna affect the

629
00:23:31,182 --> 00:23:32,455
crops you're gonna try to grow? Are you

630
00:23:32,455 --> 00:23:34,285
y'all in area that floods where you get

631
00:23:34,285 --> 00:23:37,000
damaged from it? What we know that is

632
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,697
not a flood zone, a flood plain, whatever

633
00:23:39,697 --> 00:23:40,332
you call it.

634
00:23:41,918 --> 00:23:43,708
Now, It's just

635
00:23:44,327 --> 00:23:45,466
the del duluth.

636
00:23:46,644 --> 00:23:49,680
You know? Of course, the hail that's devastating.

637
00:23:50,414 --> 00:23:52,651
It was... I've never seen anything like that.

638
00:23:52,970 --> 00:23:54,648
I actually had steel being.

639
00:23:56,086 --> 00:23:58,172
I had forgotten but where I'm at, we

640
00:23:58,172 --> 00:24:00,001
got a little bit of hell. We're, you

641
00:24:00,001 --> 00:24:00,740
know, more

642
00:24:01,194 --> 00:24:03,977
east from where you are. And Right... I

643
00:24:03,977 --> 00:24:05,329
I had to get under Out doing something.

644
00:24:05,567 --> 00:24:06,681
I had to get under cedar your tree.

645
00:24:07,015 --> 00:24:08,134
Tried to knock it off of me too

646
00:24:08,134 --> 00:24:09,974
far away from the house. But I'd heard

647
00:24:09,974 --> 00:24:12,375
later, a prem Baron plains area was much,

648
00:24:12,535 --> 00:24:13,095
much worse.

649
00:24:14,947 --> 00:24:15,345
It,

650
00:24:18,293 --> 00:24:19,169
some of the... It...

651
00:24:20,523 --> 00:24:23,312
We've had these greenhouse for 25 years.

652
00:24:24,203 --> 00:24:26,217
The plastic covering,

653
00:24:26,673 --> 00:24:27,491
the dome

654
00:24:28,186 --> 00:24:32,430
top is 6 mil heavy, heavy, heavy plastic.

655
00:24:33,377 --> 00:24:33,877
And

656
00:24:34,410 --> 00:24:37,110
double layers with an inflation fan,

657
00:24:38,619 --> 00:24:40,684
the hail... And we've had a lot of

658
00:24:40,684 --> 00:24:42,193
hail in 25 years.

659
00:24:43,242 --> 00:24:45,254
Never have I had plastic

660
00:24:46,664 --> 00:24:46,982
penetrated.

661
00:24:47,539 --> 00:24:51,041
It riddled the plastic. And then once the

662
00:24:51,041 --> 00:24:51,916
hail stopped,

663
00:24:52,489 --> 00:24:54,245
we had 10 inches of rain.

664
00:24:54,883 --> 00:24:55,702
The rain

665
00:24:56,559 --> 00:24:58,256
came through that top

666
00:24:59,352 --> 00:24:59,591
penetration,

667
00:25:00,403 --> 00:25:00,903
and

668
00:25:01,278 --> 00:25:01,778
created

669
00:25:02,232 --> 00:25:05,118
water pockets in that second layer

670
00:25:05,652 --> 00:25:08,196
and the weight, those greenhouse,

671
00:25:08,832 --> 00:25:09,809
the steel

672
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,759
have a wet load of 2 tons.

673
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,859
And the water was so heavy

674
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,240
that it bent some bows.

675
00:25:20,613 --> 00:25:21,273
That is

676
00:25:22,850 --> 00:25:25,886
un unheard up. But it... Obviously, if we

677
00:25:25,886 --> 00:25:27,897
wouldn't have gotten the hail, you wouldn't have

678
00:25:27,897 --> 00:25:29,892
had the penetration where that heavy range could've

679
00:25:29,892 --> 00:25:31,885
have gotten in to cause. So it was

680
00:25:31,885 --> 00:25:32,385
just

681
00:25:32,763 --> 00:25:35,395
a a terrible set of circumstance. Yeah. The

682
00:25:35,395 --> 00:25:37,070
chain reaction of events happening.

683
00:25:37,644 --> 00:25:40,544
It was yes. Golly late. So when it

684
00:25:40,605 --> 00:25:42,684
when it started sag down, I... Of course,

685
00:25:42,765 --> 00:25:44,524
it it bent to steal and then you

686
00:25:44,524 --> 00:25:45,164
talking about did it.

687
00:25:45,979 --> 00:25:47,335
Did it get all the way to where

688
00:25:47,335 --> 00:25:50,126
the plants were? No. No. Okay. Did you

689
00:25:50,126 --> 00:25:51,801
leave the plants in there or or did

690
00:25:51,801 --> 00:25:53,498
y'all hu get them out Thinking

691
00:25:54,115 --> 00:25:55,765
everything in there no we

692
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,756
Wasn't worried. It was gonna come all the

693
00:25:58,756 --> 00:26:01,388
way down and crush everything. Nothing like. What

694
00:26:01,388 --> 00:26:01,946
you do.

695
00:26:02,584 --> 00:26:04,020
Shoot. I'd be going in there grab 1

696
00:26:04,020 --> 00:26:06,346
by 1. 0, there's running in ma'am. No.

697
00:26:06,585 --> 00:26:08,654
There's no way. First of all,

698
00:26:09,688 --> 00:26:11,780
if you're... If you've got

699
00:26:12,553 --> 00:26:14,622
weather that's severe going on.

700
00:26:15,353 --> 00:26:18,295
A greenhouse is the last place you want

701
00:26:18,295 --> 00:26:19,249
people. Mh.

702
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,827
And then when you start, you know,

703
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,279
No. No. We didn't no. It it... But

704
00:26:26,279 --> 00:26:28,779
you were fortunate it besides the

705
00:26:29,159 --> 00:26:31,720
greenhouse structure itself, did the plants themselves?

706
00:26:32,293 --> 00:26:35,155
Fair okay? The plants inside were fun.

707
00:26:35,950 --> 00:26:36,450
The

708
00:26:37,143 --> 00:26:38,676
perennial and things

709
00:26:39,290 --> 00:26:39,608
outside,

710
00:26:40,418 --> 00:26:42,191
the larger foliage

711
00:26:43,044 --> 00:26:43,544
plants

712
00:26:43,919 --> 00:26:46,466
had a lot of hail damage. Mh The

713
00:26:46,466 --> 00:26:47,420
smaller foliage,

714
00:26:47,818 --> 00:26:50,778
it didn't seem to affect. This much. But

715
00:26:52,450 --> 00:26:54,758
that's something that you just trim out and

716
00:26:54,758 --> 00:26:57,009
it grew out. Sure. So

717
00:26:57,385 --> 00:27:00,119
this of of all the... Not necessarily the

718
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:00,619
vegetable

719
00:27:01,079 --> 00:27:01,980
crops, but

720
00:27:02,599 --> 00:27:05,240
perennial and and flowers, for example. What are

721
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,214
some of the species that just they don't

722
00:27:07,572 --> 00:27:09,636
tolerate water. That that amount of water, but

723
00:27:09,636 --> 00:27:12,336
they're really sensitive to water that y'all grow.

724
00:27:15,849 --> 00:27:16,168
Well.

725
00:27:16,727 --> 00:27:18,085
I think about a fern. You know you

726
00:27:18,085 --> 00:27:19,683
can't Hardly out. Can you offer water a

727
00:27:19,683 --> 00:27:20,562
fern? No.

728
00:27:22,493 --> 00:27:24,262
As long as you've got drainage

729
00:27:24,634 --> 00:27:27,885
in the pot. Mh. As long as the

730
00:27:27,885 --> 00:27:29,575
pot or the container,

731
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,579
that has that plant or group of plants

732
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,660
in it has good drainage.

733
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:38,200
No.

734
00:27:39,652 --> 00:27:40,609
Not a foreign.

735
00:27:41,487 --> 00:27:44,040
It just depends on the plant and how

736
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,529
big and heavy the root system me is.

737
00:27:46,768 --> 00:27:49,342
Mh. Some plants have a very

738
00:27:49,719 --> 00:27:50,198
light,

739
00:27:52,351 --> 00:27:56,121
small roots system and they are less watered

740
00:27:56,515 --> 00:27:57,015
tolerant

741
00:27:58,355 --> 00:27:59,255
or a

742
00:28:01,075 --> 00:28:04,194
huge amount of water, tolerant. Mh. They just

743
00:28:04,194 --> 00:28:04,569
don't

744
00:28:05,329 --> 00:28:07,107
require. They don't use.

745
00:28:09,164 --> 00:28:10,703
You run into trouble

746
00:28:11,402 --> 00:28:12,861
when you have

747
00:28:13,573 --> 00:28:14,631
root systems

748
00:28:15,645 --> 00:28:17,180
sitting in water,

749
00:28:18,035 --> 00:28:19,867
and they're not using it.

750
00:28:20,678 --> 00:28:23,615
That's where your roots start to rot. Just

751
00:28:23,615 --> 00:28:25,918
get over saturated at that point. Yeah.

752
00:28:26,951 --> 00:28:29,333
So during that time, once... Well, once May.

753
00:28:29,984 --> 00:28:32,058
You know, came and gone. We're into June

754
00:28:32,058 --> 00:28:32,558
and

755
00:28:32,935 --> 00:28:33,834
we had some

756
00:28:34,690 --> 00:28:36,604
good decent rain in June that I thought

757
00:28:36,604 --> 00:28:38,678
nothing like May, but grain that we was

758
00:28:38,678 --> 00:28:41,004
very helpful, but it's is hot hot and

759
00:28:41,004 --> 00:28:42,039
dry Parts of June.

760
00:28:43,631 --> 00:28:45,565
Have y'all all been able to kinda

761
00:28:46,020 --> 00:28:48,661
get together and and regroup and put a

762
00:28:48,661 --> 00:28:50,485
plan in place for the damage that was

763
00:28:50,485 --> 00:28:54,238
sustained or... Well, that the roofs are,

764
00:28:54,610 --> 00:28:55,007
you know,

765
00:28:56,292 --> 00:28:57,880
Fixing the be replaced,

766
00:28:59,230 --> 00:29:00,127
the bows

767
00:29:00,818 --> 00:29:01,851
that were bent.

768
00:29:02,804 --> 00:29:04,097
My brother bill

769
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,694
And a friend of his is

770
00:29:08,150 --> 00:29:11,280
in bearing Plains, Vince Starks who has

771
00:29:11,736 --> 00:29:14,547
worked with steel and welding all of his

772
00:29:14,547 --> 00:29:14,946
life.

773
00:29:15,585 --> 00:29:17,444
They came up with

774
00:29:17,983 --> 00:29:19,042
a method

775
00:29:19,581 --> 00:29:20,081
to

776
00:29:22,394 --> 00:29:24,654
jack up these bows,

777
00:29:25,755 --> 00:29:26,255
and

778
00:29:26,795 --> 00:29:27,295
then

779
00:29:27,755 --> 00:29:28,255
William

780
00:29:28,886 --> 00:29:32,966
design, these big steel supports vents welded them

781
00:29:33,738 --> 00:29:34,477
come in

782
00:29:34,852 --> 00:29:36,068
because once that

783
00:29:37,253 --> 00:29:39,587
once that steel has been miss,

784
00:29:40,841 --> 00:29:43,653
once you put it back up or

785
00:29:44,110 --> 00:29:46,757
jacket it back up, you've got to give

786
00:29:46,757 --> 00:29:47,815
it permanent

787
00:29:48,592 --> 00:29:49,390
support. Mh.

788
00:29:50,028 --> 00:29:50,528
And

789
00:29:51,385 --> 00:29:52,741
that has been done,

790
00:29:53,713 --> 00:29:54,192
we are,

791
00:29:54,909 --> 00:29:58,597
the next step is to pull new

792
00:29:59,213 --> 00:29:59,713
plastic

793
00:30:00,727 --> 00:30:01,126
tops.

794
00:30:02,019 --> 00:30:04,415
That's... It takes several people.

795
00:30:04,815 --> 00:30:07,291
I'll call you to come here.

796
00:30:08,170 --> 00:30:08,330
Okay.

797
00:30:09,141 --> 00:30:10,653
I'm sure it takes a lot of manpower.

798
00:30:10,812 --> 00:30:13,300
Yeah. Yes. Because you've got to think

799
00:30:14,153 --> 00:30:14,471
the...

800
00:30:15,758 --> 00:30:18,959
Weight of a roll of

801
00:30:19,412 --> 00:30:20,445
45

802
00:30:20,445 --> 00:30:23,169
by a hundred and 60 foot

803
00:30:23,543 --> 00:30:24,917
6 meal plastic.

804
00:30:25,783 --> 00:30:26,977
The weight of that.

805
00:30:29,205 --> 00:30:32,628
But anyway, in heat and humidity like this,

806
00:30:32,788 --> 00:30:33,400
you can't

807
00:30:34,077 --> 00:30:36,311
Because once you get the bottom layer over

808
00:30:36,311 --> 00:30:37,927
and you start coming over

809
00:30:38,305 --> 00:30:40,480
with that top layer, you've got

810
00:30:41,336 --> 00:30:43,090
condensation, it sticks together.

811
00:30:44,384 --> 00:30:46,224
There can't be any wind.

812
00:30:48,704 --> 00:30:50,384
And so it takes,

813
00:30:51,758 --> 00:30:52,258
something

814
00:30:52,954 --> 00:30:54,650
that's very hard to

815
00:30:55,425 --> 00:30:56,462
find a time.

816
00:30:57,020 --> 00:30:59,651
I perfect pull... What we call a perfect

817
00:30:59,651 --> 00:31:02,535
data whole plastic. Sure. They are few and

818
00:31:02,535 --> 00:31:05,644
far between. Right the way our weather is

819
00:31:05,644 --> 00:31:06,042
evolving.

820
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,168
But it has to be done. Right. So...

821
00:31:09,648 --> 00:31:11,027
During this time, when

822
00:31:12,045 --> 00:31:13,804
when this weather was going on, and it

823
00:31:13,804 --> 00:31:14,304
it

824
00:31:14,682 --> 00:31:16,601
y'all sustained this damaged to your greenhouse. Of

825
00:31:16,601 --> 00:31:18,052
course, I know... And I I said, I've

826
00:31:18,052 --> 00:31:19,587
never been out there, but I know

827
00:31:20,042 --> 00:31:20,440
y'all have...

828
00:31:21,395 --> 00:31:22,828
We y'all have it where customers can come

829
00:31:22,828 --> 00:31:25,216
to you. Yeah. To purchase your your products.

830
00:31:25,455 --> 00:31:26,910
Like Did did y'all have to shut down

831
00:31:26,910 --> 00:31:27,630
during that time period?

832
00:31:29,470 --> 00:31:30,210
The first

833
00:31:30,589 --> 00:31:31,070
day...

834
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:33,820
After

835
00:31:34,749 --> 00:31:36,044
the damage happened

836
00:31:37,211 --> 00:31:38,800
during the night before,

837
00:31:40,626 --> 00:31:41,921
until we could get

838
00:31:42,630 --> 00:31:43,130
plastic

839
00:31:43,430 --> 00:31:44,970
drained and stabilized,

840
00:31:46,470 --> 00:31:47,349
the steel,

841
00:31:48,309 --> 00:31:48,809
we

842
00:31:49,843 --> 00:31:52,805
did not let people in the greenhouse

843
00:31:53,496 --> 00:31:54,710
simply because

844
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,387
we weren't sure. You know,

845
00:31:58,758 --> 00:32:01,096
but after that, we got the plastic

846
00:32:01,635 --> 00:32:02,135
drained

847
00:32:02,914 --> 00:32:04,932
the weight off. And

848
00:32:05,311 --> 00:32:06,770
again, my brother bill

849
00:32:07,404 --> 00:32:09,002
came through and said,

850
00:32:09,561 --> 00:32:10,041
we're good.

851
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,615
We're... Now 1 back area of 1 house

852
00:32:15,009 --> 00:32:17,634
we did block off because there was a

853
00:32:17,634 --> 00:32:18,134
heater

854
00:32:18,827 --> 00:32:19,327
that

855
00:32:20,816 --> 00:32:21,316
was

856
00:32:22,421 --> 00:32:25,042
at an odd, hanging at an odd angle,

857
00:32:25,121 --> 00:32:26,471
and I was like, no,

858
00:32:27,266 --> 00:32:29,330
I don't need anybody back here. You know.

859
00:32:30,601 --> 00:32:31,101
But

860
00:32:31,887 --> 00:32:33,875
But, yeah, We got it. We got it

861
00:32:33,875 --> 00:32:35,147
no again. Was this...

862
00:32:36,419 --> 00:32:39,123
To your memory and knowledge, was this probably

863
00:32:39,123 --> 00:32:41,244
the most challenging year y'all had since you

864
00:32:41,364 --> 00:32:42,163
been in this line of?

865
00:32:42,802 --> 00:32:43,282
Yes.

866
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:44,480
Yes.

867
00:32:45,359 --> 00:32:47,116
Yes. Do do you feel like you've gotten

868
00:32:47,116 --> 00:32:48,289
to a place now or you can kinda

869
00:32:48,966 --> 00:32:51,513
No. I'm not gonna say that because every

870
00:32:51,513 --> 00:32:52,229
time I do,

871
00:32:52,787 --> 00:32:53,344
something else.

872
00:32:54,378 --> 00:32:56,925
Wait do. Why make you to drop? I'm

873
00:32:56,925 --> 00:32:59,730
going to get through today. Right.

874
00:33:00,607 --> 00:33:02,602
I'm laughing because I can relate to that.

875
00:33:02,841 --> 00:33:03,160
We,

876
00:33:03,799 --> 00:33:04,995
you know, we've... It's been a...

877
00:33:05,969 --> 00:33:07,646
We we raised beef cows and it's been

878
00:33:07,646 --> 00:33:09,724
1 thing after another this year. The rain.

879
00:33:10,044 --> 00:33:11,322
That we we we have we have a

880
00:33:11,322 --> 00:33:12,760
lot of flooding where we're at, and it's

881
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,409
just been say that was another thing that

882
00:33:15,409 --> 00:33:16,447
massive hail.

883
00:33:17,485 --> 00:33:20,119
I was... Because we have cut... We farm.

884
00:33:20,518 --> 00:33:22,056
It doesn't matter if it's

885
00:33:22,369 --> 00:33:24,680
out in the field or under a piece

886
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,513
of plastic way farm,

887
00:33:27,390 --> 00:33:29,962
and you are at the

888
00:33:30,592 --> 00:33:32,441
mercy of the elements,

889
00:33:34,481 --> 00:33:36,489
you know, with that horrible

890
00:33:36,862 --> 00:33:37,259
hail,

891
00:33:38,068 --> 00:33:40,935
I was thinking, oh my god because we

892
00:33:40,935 --> 00:33:43,267
have cattle and calves. What

893
00:33:43,643 --> 00:33:46,762
what flesh wounds are we gonna see? From

894
00:33:46,762 --> 00:33:50,490
this. Mh. But they got deep enough back

895
00:33:50,490 --> 00:33:51,046
in there,

896
00:33:52,474 --> 00:33:52,974
that

897
00:33:53,505 --> 00:33:56,149
from didn't have any. If they can get

898
00:33:56,149 --> 00:33:58,061
find some shelter to get in some woods

899
00:33:58,061 --> 00:33:59,575
or a thick Well they knock it off

900
00:33:59,575 --> 00:34:02,384
of them yeah. Of would. Right. But

901
00:34:03,424 --> 00:34:05,105
well, it... It's 1 of those things you

902
00:34:05,105 --> 00:34:05,265
just...

903
00:34:06,305 --> 00:34:08,625
You had a a bad series of events

904
00:34:08,625 --> 00:34:09,985
1 after the other after the other, you're

905
00:34:09,985 --> 00:34:11,755
like, what's what's coming next?

906
00:34:12,313 --> 00:34:15,021
No It's like today, I have today,

907
00:34:15,818 --> 00:34:18,381
and I'm gonna get through today? It makes

908
00:34:18,381 --> 00:34:20,132
sense. That's a good way to look at

909
00:34:20,132 --> 00:34:22,600
it. So, you know, for y'all business,

910
00:34:23,317 --> 00:34:26,039
I know, you know, customers can come to

911
00:34:26,039 --> 00:34:28,753
where you're at. Y'all also do farmers markets.

912
00:34:29,152 --> 00:34:29,871
I'm not assuming.

913
00:34:30,509 --> 00:34:32,286
But let's say, you know, someone

914
00:34:32,744 --> 00:34:34,581
they like me, for example, Never been out

915
00:34:34,581 --> 00:34:36,987
there they wanna come check it out. They,

916
00:34:37,067 --> 00:34:39,378
you know, they love plants and having plants

917
00:34:39,378 --> 00:34:40,096
around the house.

918
00:34:41,291 --> 00:34:42,407
What can they expect?

919
00:34:43,139 --> 00:34:45,297
When they come to Corbyn Greenhouse.

920
00:34:47,454 --> 00:34:47,954
Flowers,

921
00:34:50,011 --> 00:34:50,511
perennial.

922
00:34:51,544 --> 00:34:52,044
We

923
00:34:52,502 --> 00:34:55,535
do not grow the only thing we sell

924
00:34:55,535 --> 00:34:57,871
that we do not grow are tropical.

925
00:34:59,127 --> 00:34:59,627
Because

926
00:35:00,258 --> 00:35:03,296
during the growing season, we literally

927
00:35:03,748 --> 00:35:07,500
do not have enough hours of sunlight

928
00:35:08,444 --> 00:35:11,656
to meet the light requirements. Mh. So

929
00:35:12,113 --> 00:35:15,224
I I don't have many tropical left this

930
00:35:15,224 --> 00:35:16,282
season, but

931
00:35:18,429 --> 00:35:19,965
and, we will

932
00:35:20,741 --> 00:35:21,719
help you

933
00:35:22,416 --> 00:35:23,713
if you have questions,

934
00:35:25,605 --> 00:35:26,880
that's what we're there for.

935
00:35:28,329 --> 00:35:30,399
Which means a a lot. If someone, you

936
00:35:30,399 --> 00:35:32,389
know, not front they moved here and they

937
00:35:32,389 --> 00:35:34,858
wanting to landscape their house, for example,

938
00:35:35,909 --> 00:35:37,027
you know, the front of there make it

939
00:35:37,027 --> 00:35:39,264
look really pretty. You can go to lowe's

940
00:35:39,264 --> 00:35:40,942
and get plants, but a lot of times

941
00:35:40,942 --> 00:35:42,540
the the people working there,

942
00:35:43,194 --> 00:35:45,594
don't have the first firsthand experience and the

943
00:35:45,594 --> 00:35:47,514
knowledge to give you on advice, advice on

944
00:35:47,514 --> 00:35:49,194
what's, you know, a good idea. It's not

945
00:35:49,194 --> 00:35:50,634
a good idea. And that's a beautiful thing

946
00:35:50,634 --> 00:35:50,795
though.

947
00:35:51,529 --> 00:35:53,128
I think about, like, coop. You know, the

948
00:35:53,128 --> 00:35:55,445
people that work here just about everybody has

949
00:35:55,445 --> 00:35:57,363
hands on experience and farm and experience and

950
00:35:57,363 --> 00:35:59,940
we can give people advice. And that's very

951
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,831
important order? Yes. Yes. Absolutely Very important. So

952
00:36:03,831 --> 00:36:05,817
what are some of the most popular plants

953
00:36:05,817 --> 00:36:06,612
that y'all sell?

954
00:36:07,645 --> 00:36:07,699
Order

955
00:36:08,458 --> 00:36:09,897
When you think the ones that are just

956
00:36:09,897 --> 00:36:11,974
going out the door, you know, year after

957
00:36:11,974 --> 00:36:14,291
year that people really seem to enjoy, What

958
00:36:14,291 --> 00:36:15,250
what comes to your mind.

959
00:36:16,384 --> 00:36:16,624
Well,

960
00:36:18,781 --> 00:36:19,281
pet,

961
00:36:20,859 --> 00:36:21,359
Caliber

962
00:36:22,377 --> 00:36:24,076
or million bales farms,

963
00:36:25,030 --> 00:36:26,250
in hanging baskets.

964
00:36:28,469 --> 00:36:28,969
Montana,

965
00:36:32,469 --> 00:36:33,030
beg gh.

966
00:36:35,201 --> 00:36:35,701
Just

967
00:36:36,871 --> 00:36:38,008
a variety of

968
00:36:38,543 --> 00:36:41,646
all things things. Okay. Well, and... I'm for

969
00:36:41,646 --> 00:36:42,840
familiar with some of those things that you

970
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,208
said, but some of them, I'm I'm sure

971
00:36:44,287 --> 00:36:45,163
I've seen them before,

972
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:46,380
but,

973
00:36:46,756 --> 00:36:49,246
you know, fern, for example, I love a

974
00:36:49,623 --> 00:36:50,839
big old, massive

975
00:36:51,215 --> 00:36:51,932
dr firm.

976
00:36:52,663 --> 00:36:54,490
I all... For some reason, I don't know

977
00:36:54,490 --> 00:36:55,920
what it is. I don't know if it's

978
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,667
the placement of my house and the sunlight,

979
00:36:57,826 --> 00:36:58,723
but I... If

980
00:36:59,494 --> 00:37:00,923
by this time you year my friends, and

981
00:37:01,003 --> 00:37:03,402
I we try to water them. Consistently. They

982
00:37:03,402 --> 00:37:05,016
just don't keep that

983
00:37:05,550 --> 00:37:07,061
really beautiful lush formed...

984
00:37:07,539 --> 00:37:08,891
Because they're so root bound.

985
00:37:09,782 --> 00:37:12,276
The best way to water a fern

986
00:37:12,893 --> 00:37:14,271
this time of year

987
00:37:14,967 --> 00:37:17,440
as big as the roots are and as

988
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,185
big as the actual plan is

989
00:37:21,036 --> 00:37:22,942
is get a big...

990
00:37:25,326 --> 00:37:27,573
Not a 5 gallon bucket because your

991
00:37:27,963 --> 00:37:30,438
pot in gonna fit down in there. We

992
00:37:30,438 --> 00:37:30,838
use,

993
00:37:32,274 --> 00:37:33,552
big feed tubs.

994
00:37:34,909 --> 00:37:36,719
Yeah. Fill it up with water. Set your

995
00:37:36,839 --> 00:37:39,806
fern there and let it wick the water

996
00:37:40,023 --> 00:37:40,523
up

997
00:37:41,854 --> 00:37:44,321
because you you can't get enough to it.

998
00:37:44,974 --> 00:37:45,793
More of a

999
00:37:46,329 --> 00:37:49,041
subversion technique instead of just dumping water? Yeah.

1000
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,753
On top of them. What about fertilizer? Are

1001
00:37:51,753 --> 00:37:53,508
they... Is there something they need to continue

1002
00:37:53,508 --> 00:37:54,327
to be fertilized?

1003
00:37:54,799 --> 00:37:55,039
Yeah.

1004
00:37:55,918 --> 00:37:57,196
In your opinion. Yeah.

1005
00:37:58,315 --> 00:37:58,815
And

1006
00:37:59,273 --> 00:38:00,253
what's a good,

1007
00:38:01,351 --> 00:38:04,260
you know, just a good... Base fertilizer analysis...

1008
00:38:05,195 --> 00:38:07,689
Consists using your fertilizer

1009
00:38:08,146 --> 00:38:08,646
consistently

1010
00:38:09,820 --> 00:38:11,097
is the key.

1011
00:38:12,623 --> 00:38:15,268
Miracle grow for home use

1012
00:38:15,643 --> 00:38:16,516
is great,

1013
00:38:16,993 --> 00:38:19,218
but you have to use it. And there

1014
00:38:19,218 --> 00:38:20,036
are some

1015
00:38:20,744 --> 00:38:21,244
plants

1016
00:38:21,779 --> 00:38:22,279
like

1017
00:38:23,213 --> 00:38:24,351
gerber Da

1018
00:38:24,966 --> 00:38:25,466
in

1019
00:38:25,842 --> 00:38:26,342
uranium.

1020
00:38:27,037 --> 00:38:29,768
I tell people they're like hungry teenage

1021
00:38:30,240 --> 00:38:30,640
boys.

1022
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,700
You have to feed feed feed

1023
00:38:34,240 --> 00:38:35,780
to keep them bloom

1024
00:38:36,079 --> 00:38:36,400
lush.

1025
00:38:39,692 --> 00:38:41,367
I know somebody said, well,

1026
00:38:42,005 --> 00:38:45,036
on the label or on the container of

1027
00:38:45,036 --> 00:38:47,828
miracle grow, it says use once every 2

1028
00:38:47,828 --> 00:38:48,226
weeks.

1029
00:38:49,118 --> 00:38:51,046
I was like, well, for

1030
00:38:51,420 --> 00:38:54,856
a affirm that's fine. But for something that

1031
00:38:54,991 --> 00:38:55,467
blooms,

1032
00:38:56,674 --> 00:38:59,143
It needs the food. I said use it

1033
00:38:59,143 --> 00:39:00,498
3 times a week.

1034
00:39:02,091 --> 00:39:04,721
It's not gonna hurt anything. The only way

1035
00:39:04,721 --> 00:39:06,748
you're gonna hurt some... Thing

1036
00:39:07,201 --> 00:39:08,494
with fertilizer

1037
00:39:08,947 --> 00:39:09,447
is

1038
00:39:09,979 --> 00:39:12,757
if you let the plant get very, very

1039
00:39:12,757 --> 00:39:14,448
dry and then you fertilize

1040
00:39:15,154 --> 00:39:16,752
You're gonna burn it mh.

1041
00:39:17,311 --> 00:39:19,788
Just, you know, and if it gets real

1042
00:39:19,788 --> 00:39:21,785
dry, and you need to fertilize,

1043
00:39:22,278 --> 00:39:25,293
give it some plain water, wait about 30

1044
00:39:25,293 --> 00:39:27,380
minutes, and then come back and fertilize.

1045
00:39:29,674 --> 00:39:30,951
It sounds like it's a pretty good rule

1046
00:39:30,951 --> 00:39:32,148
of thumb. If you dealing them with the

1047
00:39:32,148 --> 00:39:34,703
plant that is consistently putting out blooms,

1048
00:39:35,421 --> 00:39:37,497
it's gonna need to be fed. It's gonna

1049
00:39:37,497 --> 00:39:39,664
need to be faye. Versus something that just

1050
00:39:39,664 --> 00:39:41,574
kinda sits there like a firm. It's just

1051
00:39:41,574 --> 00:39:43,326
exactly. Requirements are exactly.

1052
00:39:44,281 --> 00:39:45,338
So let's say

1053
00:39:45,794 --> 00:39:47,960
if you were If you were Maroon on

1054
00:39:48,119 --> 00:39:48,438
Island.

1055
00:39:49,076 --> 00:39:50,670
Right? You're on an island, you got plenty

1056
00:39:50,670 --> 00:39:52,265
of food. You got a stuff to survive

1057
00:39:52,265 --> 00:39:54,257
there. There's 1 plant.

1058
00:39:55,229 --> 00:39:56,903
That you can plant and grow? Just 1.

1059
00:39:57,142 --> 00:39:58,258
It's gotta be your favorite 1,

1060
00:39:58,976 --> 00:40:00,490
what would your favorite plant be? If you're

1061
00:40:00,490 --> 00:40:01,766
gonna look at something for the rest of

1062
00:40:01,766 --> 00:40:03,201
your life, which 1 would you pick?

1063
00:40:04,414 --> 00:40:04,914
Flowers.

1064
00:40:05,934 --> 00:40:06,815
Yeah. Flowers.

1065
00:40:09,934 --> 00:40:12,150
Just 1 that really jumps at it. No

1066
00:40:12,348 --> 00:40:12,985
a hard question.

1067
00:40:19,523 --> 00:40:21,996
I would say a big phone.

1068
00:40:24,231 --> 00:40:25,108
And I... You know,

1069
00:40:26,798 --> 00:40:28,153
Why do you think that is? I mean

1070
00:40:28,233 --> 00:40:29,429
I can tell you from... I love a

1071
00:40:29,429 --> 00:40:31,502
big it's just a giant. Dr phone is

1072
00:40:31,502 --> 00:40:34,155
just something about it. Do as much

1073
00:40:34,611 --> 00:40:35,111
with

1074
00:40:35,585 --> 00:40:36,085
foliage

1075
00:40:36,545 --> 00:40:37,605
strictly foliage

1076
00:40:38,385 --> 00:40:42,065
as you can with bloom plant. Mh.

1077
00:40:45,597 --> 00:40:49,193
The challenge of keeping that firm trimmed and

1078
00:40:49,193 --> 00:40:51,291
keeping keeping it growing

1079
00:40:52,483 --> 00:40:54,552
I guess, you know, and it's green.

1080
00:40:55,746 --> 00:40:57,599
If if that's my only

1081
00:40:57,974 --> 00:40:58,611
choice. Sure.

1082
00:40:59,487 --> 00:41:01,396
But it's not gonna require,

1083
00:41:01,969 --> 00:41:02,469
feeding

1084
00:41:02,769 --> 00:41:05,010
which I'm not gonna have. Right. You know,

1085
00:41:05,090 --> 00:41:06,289
have to worry about it. I said it's

1086
00:41:06,289 --> 00:41:07,269
gonna it's gonna

1087
00:41:07,809 --> 00:41:10,130
be hearty and and stay like it is.

1088
00:41:10,289 --> 00:41:10,789
So

1089
00:41:11,264 --> 00:41:12,457
The fern y'all grow,

1090
00:41:13,014 --> 00:41:15,004
do y'all start them from from ceilings?

1091
00:41:16,436 --> 00:41:19,619
We start them from what is called A

1092
00:41:19,619 --> 00:41:20,119
align.

1093
00:41:22,105 --> 00:41:26,035
Again, though, it's... They, we buy the rooted

1094
00:41:26,093 --> 00:41:27,151
liners from

1095
00:41:27,768 --> 00:41:28,587
propagation houses.

1096
00:41:33,288 --> 00:41:34,644
2 inches tall,

1097
00:41:35,442 --> 00:41:36,421
root system

1098
00:41:37,358 --> 00:41:37,858
developed,

1099
00:41:38,890 --> 00:41:39,390
about

1100
00:41:40,010 --> 00:41:41,449
3 inches around.

1101
00:41:42,489 --> 00:41:43,469
For fern,

1102
00:41:44,809 --> 00:41:47,949
we put them pot them into

1103
00:41:48,504 --> 00:41:49,323
5 inch

1104
00:41:50,019 --> 00:41:51,215
pots to grow.

1105
00:41:52,172 --> 00:41:54,267
Firms grow very slowly.

1106
00:41:55,043 --> 00:41:57,058
They have rooted in

1107
00:41:58,009 --> 00:42:00,802
and they're big and pretty in those 5

1108
00:42:00,802 --> 00:42:01,521
inch pots.

1109
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,452
Are fern for next spring, we will

1110
00:42:06,884 --> 00:42:09,222
take 5 inch pot material

1111
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,059
and put in

1112
00:42:11,438 --> 00:42:13,217
11 inch hanging baskets,

1113
00:42:14,889 --> 00:42:15,789
and start

1114
00:42:16,647 --> 00:42:19,444
growing them now for next spring?

1115
00:42:20,323 --> 00:42:22,960
What's the difference between those firms and say

1116
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,052
the... The wild firms that grow here. If

1117
00:42:25,052 --> 00:42:26,650
you walk out into the woods and Well,

1118
00:42:26,809 --> 00:42:29,786
it seems essentially the same? No. They're

1119
00:42:30,656 --> 00:42:34,730
those that are wild that they're perennial, They're

1120
00:42:34,865 --> 00:42:38,700
native to our area. Mh We do grow

1121
00:42:38,755 --> 00:42:38,994
some,

1122
00:42:39,882 --> 00:42:40,382
perennial

1123
00:42:41,153 --> 00:42:43,932
fern, but there's, you know, they're they're for

1124
00:42:43,932 --> 00:42:44,726
the ground.

1125
00:42:46,552 --> 00:42:47,529
These are

1126
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:48,420
Boston,

1127
00:42:49,599 --> 00:42:50,659
asparagus firm

1128
00:42:51,599 --> 00:42:52,819
in hanging baskets

1129
00:42:53,119 --> 00:42:54,775
that people like to hang

1130
00:42:55,451 --> 00:42:58,555
would they grow anywhere naturally in the country

1131
00:42:58,555 --> 00:42:59,453
or the world

1132
00:43:00,306 --> 00:43:01,977
where you can go? South?

1133
00:43:02,708 --> 00:43:03,526
You every

1134
00:43:03,900 --> 00:43:04,400
plant

1135
00:43:05,250 --> 00:43:05,750
has

1136
00:43:06,362 --> 00:43:08,293
a what we call a hard

1137
00:43:08,826 --> 00:43:09,143
zone.

1138
00:43:10,034 --> 00:43:11,253
Mh Perennial.

1139
00:43:12,351 --> 00:43:12,851
So

1140
00:43:13,870 --> 00:43:16,608
what is the hard zone on a Boston

1141
00:43:16,667 --> 00:43:17,945
fern? I don't know.

1142
00:43:18,839 --> 00:43:19,339
But

1143
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:21,559
I would say, Florida,

1144
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,440
they'd grow year around. So prolific in the

1145
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,086
south. Yes. Sounds like. I got some fern

1146
00:43:27,086 --> 00:43:28,118
somewhere way. I can't came remember where it

1147
00:43:28,118 --> 00:43:29,150
was and that they were...

1148
00:43:30,500 --> 00:43:32,802
It's said something about Michigan. They were originally

1149
00:43:32,802 --> 00:43:34,549
grown in Michigan, which I thought was odd.

1150
00:43:35,105 --> 00:43:37,266
Well That's where they rooted them.

1151
00:43:38,539 --> 00:43:40,050
But they don't net... You're not gonna grow

1152
00:43:40,050 --> 00:43:41,720
up to go to Michigan and see these

1153
00:43:41,720 --> 00:43:44,106
naturally beautiful fern just growing out on the

1154
00:43:44,106 --> 00:43:44,742
side of the road.

1155
00:43:46,265 --> 00:43:47,613
I wouldn't think so it. Right.

1156
00:43:48,248 --> 00:43:50,231
It's kinda cold they. Yeah. Well, that's what

1157
00:43:50,389 --> 00:43:51,341
I was when I saw. And I was

1158
00:43:51,341 --> 00:43:53,166
like, last but that's where they rooted them.

1159
00:43:53,657 --> 00:43:55,485
Yeah. Right. Okay. That makes sense.

1160
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:57,789
But if you were gonna be maroon island

1161
00:43:57,789 --> 00:43:59,139
and you go with a big old firm.

1162
00:43:59,378 --> 00:44:00,728
Yeah. To look at it. I mean, I

1163
00:44:00,728 --> 00:44:01,682
think that's a good choice.

1164
00:44:02,254 --> 00:44:04,891
Good... I might do the same thing. What

1165
00:44:04,891 --> 00:44:05,630
about a

1166
00:44:06,009 --> 00:44:07,767
what about a sunflower or just a big

1167
00:44:07,767 --> 00:44:09,525
beautiful sunflower? Do you like those?

1168
00:44:10,499 --> 00:44:12,416
Yeah. They're pretty. Yeah. I love a good

1169
00:44:12,416 --> 00:44:15,931
sunflower. And that's something that would produce its

1170
00:44:15,931 --> 00:44:16,970
own seed.

1171
00:44:17,622 --> 00:44:19,765
To come back every year. Mh.

1172
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,623
What about a tulip? You like a tulip?

1173
00:44:23,734 --> 00:44:24,630
They're very

1174
00:44:25,098 --> 00:44:29,316
Yes. For early cool spring blooms, they're beautiful.

1175
00:44:30,748 --> 00:44:32,994
I love a good tool bag. My mom's

1176
00:44:32,994 --> 00:44:34,352
got a picture me as a toddler, I'm

1177
00:44:34,352 --> 00:44:36,190
going up and my grandmother yard. I'm looking

1178
00:44:36,190 --> 00:44:38,107
at these beautiful red and purple too. And

1179
00:44:38,107 --> 00:44:39,385
I just got this big g on my

1180
00:44:39,385 --> 00:44:41,717
face and something about a tulip is just

1181
00:44:41,797 --> 00:44:43,476
I don't know. I... I love a good

1182
00:44:43,476 --> 00:44:43,795
tulip.

1183
00:44:45,553 --> 00:44:46,992
So, you know, depending on the time you...

1184
00:44:47,231 --> 00:44:48,925
Obviously, this is a year round job. Y'all.

1185
00:44:49,085 --> 00:44:50,844
I don't think y'all all have necessarily an

1186
00:44:50,844 --> 00:44:51,565
off season?

1187
00:44:52,684 --> 00:44:53,005
No.

1188
00:44:53,485 --> 00:44:53,804
No.

1189
00:44:54,525 --> 00:44:56,284
When does it slow down the most? Would

1190
00:44:56,284 --> 00:44:59,331
that be the wintertime? For Well, yeah. But

1191
00:44:59,331 --> 00:45:00,864
you're still maintaining

1192
00:45:01,476 --> 00:45:04,177
plant material in the greenhouse. Mh.

1193
00:45:04,733 --> 00:45:07,298
But, yes, it's... That's our

1194
00:45:09,994 --> 00:45:11,925
Slow off Slow lacey.

1195
00:45:13,096 --> 00:45:14,527
Get some rest Sure.

1196
00:45:15,179 --> 00:45:16,774
But you're more of a summer gal you

1197
00:45:16,774 --> 00:45:18,767
said, you don't necessarily like... So in the

1198
00:45:18,767 --> 00:45:20,122
wintertime, what do you what do you like

1199
00:45:20,122 --> 00:45:20,601
to do?

1200
00:45:21,956 --> 00:45:24,679
Well, I I don't know. Just what happened?

1201
00:45:24,998 --> 00:45:26,588
You going make case? You go to Florida

1202
00:45:26,588 --> 00:45:28,099
where it's warm. Oh, I don't...

1203
00:45:29,371 --> 00:45:32,631
Because of everything at home, you know, you've

1204
00:45:32,631 --> 00:45:33,529
got maintenance

1205
00:45:33,999 --> 00:45:34,818
on everything,

1206
00:45:35,434 --> 00:45:35,673
and,

1207
00:45:37,826 --> 00:45:39,820
oh, I would love to be able to

1208
00:45:39,820 --> 00:45:41,574
spend the winter in Florida,

1209
00:45:41,972 --> 00:45:45,416
but it's flash out winter? Too much to

1210
00:45:45,416 --> 00:45:45,895
take Sure.

1211
00:45:46,772 --> 00:45:49,244
The the irrigation y'all have in place. Well,

1212
00:45:49,564 --> 00:45:51,159
because I'm sure you have to have irrigation.

1213
00:45:51,398 --> 00:45:52,275
I I would imagine.

1214
00:45:52,769 --> 00:45:54,045
In in these greenhouse.

1215
00:45:54,603 --> 00:45:56,916
Is that source from... Is it city water?

1216
00:45:56,996 --> 00:45:58,592
Or is it well water? Okay?

1217
00:45:59,389 --> 00:46:01,224
It... I've always heard people talk about a

1218
00:46:01,224 --> 00:46:02,521
difference. So, you know, you're

1219
00:46:03,393 --> 00:46:05,548
If you can water your plants with well

1220
00:46:05,548 --> 00:46:08,023
water or, you know, at It's much better.

1221
00:46:08,262 --> 00:46:10,896
Is it... Our city water is so bad.

1222
00:46:11,869 --> 00:46:13,380
That I have to,

1223
00:46:16,402 --> 00:46:17,936
there are a lot of

1224
00:46:19,203 --> 00:46:19,703
flowers

1225
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:20,820
plant

1226
00:46:21,356 --> 00:46:22,973
that are very ph

1227
00:46:23,351 --> 00:46:23,851
sensitive.

1228
00:46:25,025 --> 00:46:26,961
And I have to

1229
00:46:27,338 --> 00:46:27,838
treat

1230
00:46:28,949 --> 00:46:29,849
the water

1231
00:46:31,027 --> 00:46:31,527
through

1232
00:46:31,906 --> 00:46:32,406
injector

1233
00:46:34,384 --> 00:46:35,363
with c

1234
00:46:35,902 --> 00:46:36,402
lime

1235
00:46:36,781 --> 00:46:37,980
to lower the ph,

1236
00:46:38,553 --> 00:46:39,980
Our water's really bad.

1237
00:46:40,614 --> 00:46:43,786
You can imagine if it kills flowers, what

1238
00:46:43,786 --> 00:46:45,928
it's gonna do to you. Oh I...

1239
00:46:46,657 --> 00:46:48,030
So is it more of a a

1240
00:46:49,118 --> 00:46:51,682
base to it, the the water, and

1241
00:46:52,135 --> 00:46:53,723
it's more a in the city? Is that

1242
00:46:53,723 --> 00:46:54,755
what you're saying? Okay.

1243
00:46:55,723 --> 00:46:57,631
What about, you know, I... I've always heard

1244
00:46:57,631 --> 00:46:59,698
cl cl... They they treat some of chlorine

1245
00:46:59,698 --> 00:47:01,447
and I made. Yeah. And I imagine that's

1246
00:47:01,447 --> 00:47:03,117
probably not great either for the clients.

1247
00:47:04,168 --> 00:47:06,342
So we use ke lime

1248
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,352
through inject. To bring the ph down to

1249
00:47:09,352 --> 00:47:11,824
a more... To try to neutralize some of

1250
00:47:11,824 --> 00:47:12,702
that mess. Sure.

1251
00:47:13,992 --> 00:47:16,065
Yeah. I've... I've kinda tried to do an

1252
00:47:16,065 --> 00:47:18,219
experiment before where I water firms with city

1253
00:47:18,219 --> 00:47:20,292
water, and then I'd use the method of

1254
00:47:20,292 --> 00:47:22,206
what you talk about more of a method

1255
00:47:22,206 --> 00:47:23,972
where I'll I'll think to Creek and dip

1256
00:47:23,972 --> 00:47:26,596
them down in it. And it seems... I

1257
00:47:26,596 --> 00:47:28,028
don't know if it's just me, but it

1258
00:47:28,028 --> 00:47:30,175
seems like they they they like that creek

1259
00:47:30,175 --> 00:47:30,812
water better.

1260
00:47:31,384 --> 00:47:32,498
It's natural.

1261
00:47:33,135 --> 00:47:33,375
It's...

1262
00:47:35,923 --> 00:47:38,732
I can find a tray of

1263
00:47:39,347 --> 00:47:39,586
sick.

1264
00:47:40,317 --> 00:47:40,817
Plans.

1265
00:47:42,866 --> 00:47:44,140
Set it outside,

1266
00:47:44,538 --> 00:47:47,803
let it get some good rain and wind,

1267
00:47:49,331 --> 00:47:51,026
air mode, good air movement,

1268
00:47:52,119 --> 00:47:52,619
and

1269
00:47:53,155 --> 00:47:54,532
you can do more

1270
00:47:56,197 --> 00:47:58,450
curing thing. I call it god's

1271
00:47:58,827 --> 00:47:59,327
antibiotic,

1272
00:48:00,818 --> 00:48:01,796
then you can

1273
00:48:02,730 --> 00:48:04,266
with all the chemicals

1274
00:48:04,642 --> 00:48:05,142
imaginable.

1275
00:48:05,853 --> 00:48:07,447
Oh, absolutely. So.

1276
00:48:08,484 --> 00:48:10,159
Absolutely. That's the way it's supposed to be.

1277
00:48:10,398 --> 00:48:12,950
It is. You're exactly right. You know, I've

1278
00:48:12,950 --> 00:48:13,668
heard people

1279
00:48:14,958 --> 00:48:18,219
I've heard people say that plants respond good

1280
00:48:18,219 --> 00:48:19,969
to, like, people that plan them they talk

1281
00:48:19,969 --> 00:48:21,973
to them afterward. They'll talk to the plant.

1282
00:48:22,371 --> 00:48:24,123
Alright. Little plants yours you're gonna grow up

1283
00:48:24,123 --> 00:48:25,636
and be so beautiful and big and strong.

1284
00:48:26,273 --> 00:48:28,344
I've heard plants like that. Do you got

1285
00:48:28,344 --> 00:48:29,856
you got an opinion on that? I do.

1286
00:48:30,255 --> 00:48:33,287
The and there was a book. It's out

1287
00:48:33,287 --> 00:48:35,058
of print now

1288
00:48:35,908 --> 00:48:39,163
that was written back a habit at home,

1289
00:48:39,894 --> 00:48:41,112
back in the sixties.

1290
00:48:44,923 --> 00:48:48,217
And I hope I'm remembering this title correctly

1291
00:48:49,009 --> 00:48:51,166
the secret life of plans.

1292
00:48:52,045 --> 00:48:54,302
They did all of these studies.

1293
00:48:55,161 --> 00:48:57,572
They would have a room of plants here,

1294
00:48:58,052 --> 00:49:00,608
another room, the exact same plants,

1295
00:49:01,487 --> 00:49:03,185
and they were each

1296
00:49:03,659 --> 00:49:06,770
watered and fed the same, but they were

1297
00:49:06,770 --> 00:49:08,068
talked to

1298
00:49:08,446 --> 00:49:09,345
very differently.

1299
00:49:11,014 --> 00:49:13,025
Yeah. And the and the ones that were

1300
00:49:14,036 --> 00:49:15,014
spoken to

1301
00:49:15,468 --> 00:49:17,616
in a positive manner, did they according to

1302
00:49:17,616 --> 00:49:20,018
the studies they did better? Yes. What do

1303
00:49:20,018 --> 00:49:20,893
you attribute that to?

1304
00:49:22,086 --> 00:49:23,621
They're living beings.

1305
00:49:24,553 --> 00:49:26,781
They don't walk and talk like we do,

1306
00:49:27,577 --> 00:49:27,895
but...

1307
00:49:29,900 --> 00:49:30,400
They're

1308
00:49:31,411 --> 00:49:31,911
living

1309
00:49:32,604 --> 00:49:33,104
organisms.

1310
00:49:34,672 --> 00:49:35,729
It's really fascinating.

1311
00:49:37,151 --> 00:49:40,564
You know, the same thing with animals. Mh.

1312
00:49:40,882 --> 00:49:43,422
I an animal lover. I love my dogs

1313
00:49:43,422 --> 00:49:45,107
better. I like most people.

1314
00:49:46,061 --> 00:49:48,925
This but you said you raise cash. Yeah.

1315
00:49:49,959 --> 00:49:52,923
Now, then how do your cattle react to

1316
00:49:52,923 --> 00:49:53,481
you? Well,

1317
00:49:54,359 --> 00:49:57,331
you go out there and you start ranting

1318
00:49:57,549 --> 00:50:00,123
and Raven and carrying on

1319
00:50:01,469 --> 00:50:04,191
or when you go out and you're very

1320
00:50:04,246 --> 00:50:06,864
calm there's an old say in Calm. There's

1321
00:50:06,864 --> 00:50:07,579
an old say in...

1322
00:50:08,548 --> 00:50:10,862
The best way to work cattle is slow.

1323
00:50:11,181 --> 00:50:11,341
Yeah.

1324
00:50:12,219 --> 00:50:14,772
And what that means is, you know, if

1325
00:50:14,772 --> 00:50:15,011
you

1326
00:50:15,744 --> 00:50:17,342
Whenever it's time to, you know, work, and

1327
00:50:17,342 --> 00:50:18,941
give them shots. For example.

1328
00:50:19,501 --> 00:50:21,099
Give them shots, warm and whatever,

1329
00:50:21,978 --> 00:50:24,396
you don't want people out there that's,

1330
00:50:24,775 --> 00:50:25,095
you know,

1331
00:50:26,303 --> 00:50:29,240
impatient or loud or bo you want it

1332
00:50:29,240 --> 00:50:30,828
to be as... You don't want music playing.

1333
00:50:30,987 --> 00:50:32,972
I don't want dogs barking. No. I don't

1334
00:50:32,972 --> 00:50:34,425
want anything around like

1335
00:50:34,813 --> 00:50:37,833
anything. I won't quite. We're gonna walk them.

1336
00:50:38,230 --> 00:50:39,978
If it takes us all day, we're gonna

1337
00:50:39,978 --> 00:50:41,885
go as slow as we possibly can because

1338
00:50:41,885 --> 00:50:44,366
of... That is not gonna raise their cortisol

1339
00:50:44,366 --> 00:50:46,616
and stress levels and and

1340
00:50:47,150 --> 00:50:49,313
get them screwed up and gas up, where

1341
00:50:49,313 --> 00:50:51,225
they're gonna be, you know, ill tempered and

1342
00:50:51,225 --> 00:50:54,173
hard to work. Body up fences. It's it's

1343
00:50:54,173 --> 00:50:55,926
it's it's terrible. So it's...

1344
00:50:57,298 --> 00:50:57,798
Anything

1345
00:50:58,257 --> 00:50:59,875
that the Lord created

1346
00:51:00,254 --> 00:51:01,931
that's leave living.

1347
00:51:03,782 --> 00:51:06,587
Has to be taken care of. Steward

1348
00:51:06,961 --> 00:51:09,744
the right way. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. You know,

1349
00:51:09,902 --> 00:51:11,356
I planted some perennial

1350
00:51:12,859 --> 00:51:14,612
Oh, what are those things called? They're like,

1351
00:51:15,887 --> 00:51:16,764
they're evergreen.

1352
00:51:17,481 --> 00:51:19,632
Kinda like, privacy trees, I guess you call

1353
00:51:19,632 --> 00:51:20,190
them are they...

1354
00:51:21,643 --> 00:51:22,383
Like the

1355
00:51:22,762 --> 00:51:23,262
spiders.

1356
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,718
Is that... Yes. Yes. Or a,

1357
00:51:27,156 --> 00:51:29,489
Leland cyprus. Yeah. And after I planned it,

1358
00:51:29,570 --> 00:51:31,170
and I talked to them, I tried to

1359
00:51:31,170 --> 00:51:32,610
build them up and tell them how good

1360
00:51:32,610 --> 00:51:33,829
they're gonna do. And,

1361
00:51:34,289 --> 00:51:36,462
you know, I hadn't lost 1 yet. Right.

1362
00:51:36,780 --> 00:51:37,177
That was,

1363
00:51:38,052 --> 00:51:40,198
4 or 5 years ago. But they seem

1364
00:51:40,198 --> 00:51:41,787
to be doing really well. And it's it's

1365
00:51:41,787 --> 00:51:43,139
kinda fun to talk to to be honest

1366
00:51:43,139 --> 00:51:45,535
with. Yeah. You know? Yeah. They're easy to

1367
00:51:45,535 --> 00:51:46,407
talk to for me,

1368
00:51:47,597 --> 00:51:49,184
better than most people, like you said.

1369
00:51:50,692 --> 00:51:50,850
Yeah.

1370
00:51:51,723 --> 00:51:54,201
Exactly. So, you know, okay. So getting back

1371
00:51:54,201 --> 00:51:56,347

1372
00:51:56,347 --> 00:51:56,847

1393
00:52:38,601 --> 00:52:38,840

00:52:45,015 --> 00:52:46,635

And several years ago,

1404
00:53:02,127 --> 00:53:03,184

1405
00:53:03,561 --> 00:53:04,857

1406
00:53:05,247 --> 00:53:05,747

That's all, I'm a huge coffee drinker.

1412
00:53:21,458 --> 00:53:24,663
That's all the coffee that I drink is

1413
00:53:24,720 --> 00:53:25,674

1414
00:53:27,266 --> 00:53:30,152
Back in the early spring, I got

1415
00:53:30,545 --> 00:53:31,925

1417
00:53:35,265 --> 00:53:35,765
And

1418
00:53:36,385 --> 00:53:39,105
1 day, I'd I told my mother, I

1419
00:53:39,105 --> 00:53:40,635

1425
00:53:52,116 --> 00:53:54,768

1426
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:55,800
You know.

1498
00:56:35,932 --> 00:56:38,233

1499
00:56:38,233 --> 00:56:40,692

1504
00:56:49,489 --> 00:56:51,329
sounds like y'all are a wonderful resource for

1505
00:56:51,329 --> 00:56:51,969
the community.

1506
00:56:52,624 --> 00:56:54,382
As far as the products that you produce

1507
00:56:54,382 --> 00:56:55,681
as well as the knowledge

1508
00:56:56,059 --> 00:56:57,578
that pass on the people.

1509
00:56:58,297 --> 00:57:00,707
And you know, I've... Heard a lot of

1510
00:57:00,707 --> 00:57:01,822
batteries. I'm gonna have to come out there

1511
00:57:01,822 --> 00:57:04,133
and see for cell. Right. That would be...

1512
00:57:04,292 --> 00:57:05,806
Call you when we're gonna pull plastic.

1513
00:57:06,443 --> 00:57:07,001
Let me know.

1514
00:57:07,574 --> 00:57:09,085
Don't worry. I will.

1515
00:57:10,756 --> 00:57:12,030
But it's gotta be 1 of those perfect

1516
00:57:12,030 --> 00:57:14,178
days. No win. Does. And let me tell

1517
00:57:14,178 --> 00:57:14,735
you something.

1518
00:57:15,470 --> 00:57:17,570
Once you un enroll that

1519
00:57:18,190 --> 00:57:18,690
huge

1520
00:57:19,710 --> 00:57:20,610
sheet of plastic,

1521
00:57:20,990 --> 00:57:22,190
there's no stopping.

1522
00:57:23,643 --> 00:57:26,662
You start and you work you start, and

1523
00:57:26,662 --> 00:57:28,092
it has to go fast.

1524
00:57:28,965 --> 00:57:29,465
Temper

1525
00:57:29,998 --> 00:57:30,498
flare,

1526
00:57:32,318 --> 00:57:34,173
words start flying.

1527
00:57:35,188 --> 00:57:36,941
But at the end of the day, we

1528
00:57:36,941 --> 00:57:39,013
all get together and sit down and have

1529
00:57:39,013 --> 00:57:39,890
suffered together.

1530
00:57:40,542 --> 00:57:40,781
So...

1531
00:57:41,577 --> 00:57:42,930
You know, it sounds like 1 of those

1532
00:57:42,930 --> 00:57:45,080
things... How how heavy or 1 of those

1533
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:48,105
roles? Oh my gosh. I have no idea.

1534
00:57:48,359 --> 00:57:50,584
It's 1 of those things that. 3 grown

1535
00:57:50,584 --> 00:57:53,071
men to... The... Of course, the larger

1536
00:57:53,843 --> 00:57:57,340
the the the larger, the dimension of the...

1537
00:57:57,674 --> 00:58:01,103
Plastic on the row, the heavier it's gonna

1538
00:58:01,103 --> 00:58:01,501
be.

1539
00:58:02,378 --> 00:58:02,617
But,

1540
00:58:03,494 --> 00:58:04,132
they're heavy.

1541
00:58:05,169 --> 00:58:08,055
And what like you said? Once you once

1542
00:58:08,055 --> 00:58:09,411
you un enroll that,

1543
00:58:10,208 --> 00:58:13,558
you're committed. Ain't no stopping. I have had

1544
00:58:13,558 --> 00:58:16,485
winds come up and everybody grab and

1545
00:58:17,081 --> 00:58:17,956
I have seen...

1546
00:58:19,309 --> 00:58:21,059
I've seen some ugly sight.

1547
00:58:23,860 --> 00:58:25,699
I can imagine that. It's all part of

1548
00:58:25,699 --> 00:58:27,539
the job. Oh, you and it's it's time

1549
00:58:27,539 --> 00:58:29,860
to pull plastic where All like, oh,

1550
00:58:31,460 --> 00:58:32,420
but we get it done.

1551
00:58:33,072 --> 00:58:34,425
It's just 1 of those things it has

1552
00:58:34,425 --> 00:58:36,097
to be done. It sounds like, you know.

1553
00:58:36,335 --> 00:58:37,927
I have... It's got... I have saw a

1554
00:58:37,927 --> 00:58:39,679
t shirt 1 time. It talked about...

1555
00:58:41,125 --> 00:58:44,060
Working cow sometime. I mean, sometimes temper people

1556
00:58:44,060 --> 00:58:46,440
get upset. That's just part of, try to

1557
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:48,741
limit that, But... I, used to have to.

1558
00:58:49,392 --> 00:58:52,495
My... 1 time my brother decided I was

1559
00:58:52,495 --> 00:58:54,961
gonna work the head. And I was like,

1560
00:58:55,121 --> 00:58:55,518
no.

1561
00:58:56,076 --> 00:58:56,314
No.

1562
00:58:57,269 --> 00:58:57,769
Because

1563
00:58:58,239 --> 00:58:59,538
you have to be very

1564
00:58:59,917 --> 00:59:02,314
coordinated Yes. And you have to have the

1565
00:59:02,314 --> 00:59:04,951
timing just perfect. Yes. And I'll let

1566
00:59:06,162 --> 00:59:08,315
you slip through. That was the end of

1567
00:59:08,315 --> 00:59:08,953
my training.

1568
00:59:09,750 --> 00:59:10,149
How much.

1569
00:59:10,866 --> 00:59:13,976
I don't... I'm too old and too slow.

1570
00:59:15,026 --> 00:59:17,969
Anymore to get into pain. A, sword. It

1571
00:59:18,048 --> 00:59:20,117
I used to love to sword. Yeah. Yeah.

1572
00:59:20,435 --> 00:59:22,901
Yeah. It can be... It's great comrade robbery.

1573
00:59:23,394 --> 00:59:25,072
But sometimes it was a assured. It said,

1574
00:59:25,632 --> 00:59:26,511
I don't know I think it was like

1575
00:59:26,590 --> 00:59:28,029
I may be pertaining to a husband and

1576
00:59:28,029 --> 00:59:29,547
wife or someone Was like, please forgive me

1577
00:59:29,547 --> 00:59:30,826
for the things that I said when we

1578
00:59:30,826 --> 00:59:32,676
were working in cows. You know. And it

1579
00:59:32,676 --> 00:59:34,666
sounds like that can be applied to the

1580
00:59:34,666 --> 00:59:35,224
roll. Yeah.

1581
00:59:36,418 --> 00:59:36,918
