Speaker 1 (00:03):
Well, you're at home with Garry Salvin talking about home.
That's right. A big extension of that home is the
landscaping in our home, our lawns. We all take care
of them, and what an addition to the curb appeal
of your home. And that's why each and every week
we talked to our friend Ron Wilson, who does a
(00:25):
national gardening and landscaping show. And mister Wilson, how are
you pretty much of Shelvin? You'd been fine?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yes, sir, I am. I'm excited. Obviously, Easter Bunny comes
tonight and.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
There you go. You got a long list of things to.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Do outside this weekend. Actually I'm doing nothing.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
You're doing nothing.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I am, No, I'm not really good taking it easy
this weekend. Oh boy, so nothing on the schedule. We're
actually watching the grandsons today. We stayed there last night.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
We went saw Minecraft? By the way, How was it?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Did you know what it was before you went and watched?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I knew I knew what it was, but you know
it was it was? You know it's yeah, I do
like the Chicken Jockey, and I guess that's been doing
a lot of made the news people doing stuff during that.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Did you fall asleep? No?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I didn't, okay, no, No, it's it's stuff going on
all the time.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
So okay, you know. No, Actually, when I go to
the movie with one of the grandkids and I take
Sue with me, she falls asleep. No, not about eighty
percent of the time. No, I usually stay awake. Yeah,
but you get her in a theater, she can be
asleep in ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Telling the story. Well, now they got those chairs of
crank back and all that stuff, how can you not fall?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
That's it's a struggle bus.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
It's a trigger, you know, you just what you do
at home, so it triggers you to go to sleep.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
So so you're being grandpa papa.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, we're all all those things and yeah, so really
not doing anything. I'm just taking the weekend easy.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
That's good. You're not going to take them outside and help?
Uh spread the mulch?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
No help, No, we're not not doing anything.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Man, you got that.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I just said I'm not doing anything.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
You got that free labor, you got sticks to pick up.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Let's go, not this weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I'm telling you, I think I can inspire you, all right,
Well maybe not.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Do you come over standing on our front door.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
No, okay, will you go pick up your sticks with
your grandsons?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
No? Please? Why maybe you.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Could take him to your house. You guys could all
work on the deck together. You know, a family that
works together stays together.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I actually have pictures of Kellen, our oldest, when he
was about.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Two, which how how old is he now?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Thirteen? When he was well, he's six foot just over
six foot.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
So wow, little guy. Uh yeah, he's got a little
further to bend over to get those.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Six seventh grade eighth grade, yeah, sixth six? Pay him double,
So I doubt that he would do it. Triple you
doubt he would do it. I don't even think I
can get him involved anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
So you'd have to look up to him to tell
him he's.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I'd have to look up to him to tell him that. No.
Actually were eye to eye at this point. So anywow,
we got off onto that.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
But well, I don't know. I hope you have a
really RESTful weekend. Sounds like you could use it.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I seriously, I have nothing planned. I'm doing nothing this Okay,
you're gonna make a sully besides that? Uh huh, so
we are going to do something? Sure, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
How many chocolate rabbits do you have? You're not going
to tell you that many.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Huh uh huh.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
How many bottles do we have? One?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
That's all I need is more than enough. I got
to tell you, though, Gary, and I I know folks
know what we're talking about with the sullies. I do
another little radio Did I tell you this already?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Okay, yeah, never mind.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
You said people want to know about me in case
you don't.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Know what a little radio segment of another station, and
uh yeah, yesterday we're saying, tell us about these sullies.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
So we started doing in our house about ten years ago.
I guess it was ten years ago.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
And there's all kinds of ways, but the hollow chocolate
easter bunnies you can do many ways. You can crack
off the ears, you can cut the ears with a
zacto knife. You can take I still like Gary Barkman's
a marinating tool where he heats the tip and puts
(04:20):
little holes in the top and puts like a Bailey's
cream in there and then puts them in the freezer.
It's just a nice little Easter tree for adults. And
it's it's kind of caught on sends. You and I
started chatting about that years ago. And they're delicious. They're
kind of fun too. They are always fun.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
It was Bailey's back then, and I'll take the claim
for and call them Sully's. But this it was Bailey's.
But now for me it's Buffalo Tracers.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Well, yeah, the real bourbon cream. It is the best,
for sure, for sure. So I'm glad you're going to
do something, and I'm glad they're pointed in the area
of which you will enjoy the most.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Well, you know what I have. You know, I haven't
had a Easter weekend off, and you know, and you're
in a retail business. You work those forever and ever
and ever. Right, so that I said, nope, I'm you're
gonna be out shutting. You're shutting it. I did it, well,
I'm not gi. I don't feel guilty.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
And nurseries are always really crowded for Easter and Mother's Day.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah, oh yeah, good Friday, Good Friday. I was in
there on Good Friday. I was there Friday, but then
today I'll be there for just an hour or so,
then tomorrow not well.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Before I let you go, Yes, how about a tip
on some Easter lilies. I wouldn't be working you too hard,
you know.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Well, the thing about all the Easter flowers that you
see out there, many of which are repurposed back into
the garden if you want to take the time to
do that. Tulips, daffodils, the highest cents that you see
that are forced they can all be planted back into
the garden. The hydrange is maybe not, because it depends
on what variety they use. Most of the time it's
a floral variety that are not hearty for hour zone.
(05:56):
But check it. If it's got a name, you can
find out. Okay, that's a possibility. The azaleas are the
same way. Find out what it is and then you
can figure out whether it's hardy for your zone. If not,
you grow them as a house planner. Go take them
inside over the winter in the garage and bring them
back out so that can be done. Easter lilies, which
are probably the most common of all the eastern flowers
out there, again, can be repurposed right back. It's just
(06:18):
a garden lily that's forced to flower white.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
At Easter last for about two days.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Well, no, you want to buy one that's got it
partially open and several let are closed that will last
longer for you. But once it's done, cut that head
off at the top of that. They're tender because they've
been grown in a greenhouse with weather breaks. Get them outside,
plant them and they'll come back here after year and
give you that. One caution about easter lilies is that
this is one plant that is extremely toxic to cats.
(06:49):
So if you have a cat in the house easter lilies,
I would be cautious about that. We've had easter lilies
with our cats. They never chewed on them, but can
be very toxic.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Sure, Hey, missus Sullivan, and a really big birthday on Monday.
And guess where we went where We went to the
Zoom Botanical Gardens and we sat around the tulips.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
