- Hi, thanks for joining us for the Family Plot: Gardening in the Mid-South.

I'm Chris Cooper.

Last week we talked about the best flowers for a cutting garden.

Well, today we are planting them.

Also, we're talking about the most common pests and diseases you might find on your annual flowers.

That's just ahead on the Family Plot: Gardening in the Mid-South.

- (female announcer) Production funding for the Family Plot: Gardening in the Mid-South is provided by the WKNO Production Fund, the WKNO Endowment Fund, and by viewers like you, thank you.

[upbeat country music] - Welcome to the Family Plot.

I'm Chris Cooper.

Joining me today, Celeste Scott.

Celeste is a horticulture specialist with UT Extension.

And Joellen Dimond will be joining me later.

Celeste, always good to have you here.

- Yeah, thank you for having me.

- All right.

Yeah.

So, we're working on a little experiment here, right?

- Yes.

- So, we wanna add, let you add a little something to this experiment with those cut flowers that you talked about before.

- Fun.

I'm excited.

This will be a fun experiment.

- This is gonna be good.

- We are just going to plant some zinnias and sunflowers.

And we've got some sweet William and snapdragons.

There are too small to plant today, but we're gonna get those in the ground as well.

- Sure.

- And then, we are gonna do some direct seeding of sunflowers and zinnias.

So, we're gonna be able to see, in each one of these squares, we're gonna be able to see transplants versus seeds.

- Seeds.

Got it.

- So, the first thing we're gonna do is locate where the drip tape is so I can feel it.

- Can you feel it?

- Right along here.

- Yeah, there it is.

- But you know, they can squiggle around, so we wanna make sure, okay.

So, there we are.

I'm gonna make sure we don't cut our drip irrigation right there.

And I'm gonna start about here.

I'm just gonna cut a nice straight line.

Probably gonna go to about here.

Make sure you apply good pressure so you don't have to come back like I did.

[Chris chuckling] [fabric ripping] So, we're just using a razor blade to get a good clean cut right there.

- Okay.

Now, let's mention this, Celeste.

It's been pretty wet you know, in our area- - It has.

- For the past few weeks or so.

- A little wetter than desired, but these are our conditions.

- Yeah.

- So... - We'll make the best out of it.

- Yeah.

Okay.

- Okay.

- All right, so we're just gonna pull that slit apart.

So, it'll be ready for us to plant in directly into.

Let's start with zinnias.

- Okay.

- So these are in plug trays.

You wanna be real careful when you're taking 'em out.

They, you know, you don't just yank 'em out 'cause that can damage the root system.

So, I like to pinch the bottom of that cell a little bit with one hand and gently pull 'em out.

They also come out easier if they're nice and wet versus if the plug is dry.

So, make sure that you get them watered in well.

- Okay.

- We're gonna do four of each plant in each section.

- All right.

- You could use a little trowel to help you make a divot.

- Oh wow.

- These are small, so it's not gonna take a lot of effort to plant 'em.

About a hands width for me is six inches, so.

That way you don't have to have a tape measure out there with you.

- Right.

I like that.

Yeah, just the hand.

I got it.

- So, this is an easy low-tech way to do it, but we can also use a propane torch.

- Okay.

- To burn our holes or planting areas into the fabric.

And I like that because it keeps it from fraying.

- Yeah.

- Right?

And when you're using a razor blade, you have potential for fraying.

But we are not planning on coming back in here and doing a lot of weeding in this garden.

So either way- - We hope not.

- Yeah.

It shouldn't make much of a difference.

So now, we're ready.

We're gonna plant some of these sunflowers.

- Oh, I like.

- And we're keeping everything on six-inch centers.

These don't have to be very far apart.

Sunflowers will actually do better that way.

Then, their heads won't get so big.

They're more useful in an arrangement if they're not, you know, a 10-inch sunflower.

You know what I mean?

- Oh yeah.

Right, right.

Makes sense.

- Okay.

So, we'll move down.

And we're gonna do some direct seeding.

- Okay.

- So, these are our sunflowers.

And you can see they're pink.

- They're pink.

- They're treated.

They're treated with a fungicide.

- Okay.

- We're gonna go, we're gonna plant these about an inch deep.

Again, I'm spacing 'em about six inches apart.

[Chris chuckling] And then, we'll do the same with the zinnias.

These seeds are smaller.

- They're small.

- So, they don't have to go quite as deep.

I'm actually gonna use a couple in each hole since it's so wet, just to give us a better chance.

All right, we've got our seeds planted.

We've got our fabric covered back up.

- Okay.

- And that gets this square.

- All right.

All right, Celeste, here's the plastic mulch.

- Okay.

- So, how do we plant in this?

- So, I think in the plastic, I'm just gonna make individual holes for each plant instead of cutting in a long continuous line like I did the fabric.

[plastic rustling] There we go.

- All right.

- Okay.

So now, we're gonna scooch down a little bit and do some direct seeding.

- Okay.

- For these, it's gonna make more sense if I just cut a straight line.

- Okay.

- Right?

Than cutting these individual little spaces.

- Yep.

Right here.

- So, we're gonna go sunflowers first.

And now, we're gonna do the zinnias.

- This is our pine needle section.

- Yes.

- Right?

- So, let's plant those cut flowers in our pine needles.

- Okay.

All right.

Let's get to it.

Okay, so we have already marked our two planting lines.

- Okay.

- Because we located the drip tape, which is right here in the center.

- All right.

- So, we went ahead and pulled the pine needles back just so we can see our planting area.

So, I'll go ahead and kinda lay 'em out.

And then you and I can- - Yeah.

- Teamwork getting them planted.

How about that?

- Oh, that works for me.

- We're just gonna use our hands to make a small divot in the soil.

And then we're gonna firm it back up around the top of the plug.

- Okay.

- You don't wanna bury the stem.

You just wanna come right there to the top.

- Got it.

- Of that little root ball.

- Got it.

- Once we've got 'em in there, we're just gonna fluff up.

- Fluff up.

Okay.

- We don't wanna cover 'em 'cause they're small.

They need to have access to light.

But we don't want those weeds to be popping up in between 'em either.

[pine straw rustling] Okay.

We can scooch on down.

- All right.

- So for the sunflowers, I'm gonna pre-make the holes and drop those seeds in, and then come back and firm the soil on top of them.

And then, we're gonna come in with some zinnias.

Okay.

- Yeah.

- Now once we get 'em planted, we're just gonna fluff it back up.

We wanna leave that main line exposed 'cause they need some sunlight.

- Okay.

- But again, trying to exclude those weeds.

- All right.

So now we wanna plant some of those cut flower seeds and transplants in our hardwood mulch.

- Excellent.

Let's get to it.

- Okay.

- Okay.

We're gonna have a row on this side of the drip tape and a row on this side.

The soil's really soft so I don't have to use a hand trowel.

So, let's go down and do the seed.

- Okay.

- I wanna expose that soil.

We don't wanna plant the seeds into the mulch.

- Okay.

- Okay.

They need to be into soil.

If you wanted to seed these more thickly, another method would be you could just make a ditch essentially.

- Okay.

- Sprinkle the seeds in, cover 'em up.

But then, you'd have to do a lot of thinning, you know, on the back end.

And then, we're just gonna firm 'em up.

Pull that soil back over the top of them.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- All right.

- And then here I'm gonna leave that exposed.

I'm not gonna pull that mulch back over the top.

Again, this is a pretty coarse material, so we're gonna leave those like they are.

- Master gardeners are always telling me that they use cardboard for mulch.

- Yes.

- So, we're gonna put that to the test.

- Perfect.

I love it.

Let's do it.

- Let's do it.

- Okay.

So, there's a couple different ways that we could approach this for making our planting holes, but I'm gonna go with that X mark the spot.

- Hey, it's my strategy.

- Strategy.

Okay.

- Okay.

- Ah, look at that.

[cardboard crunching] - I'm just gonna pull that cardboard back.

And I'll also add that this cardboard has been out here for a little bit.

So it's, you know, see how easy it is for us to move it around, right?

If this was fresh cardboard that you just came out here today and put down, this strategy might be a little more difficult 'cause it wouldn't bend quite as easily, you know?

- Yeah.

- I think for the seeding we may need to cut like a little window essentially.

[cardboard crunching] - Yeah.

- We're gonna do some sunflowers and we're gonna do some zinnia.

We're just gonna drop a seed in each hole.

Sometimes I have to push 'em down in there.

They get stuck halfway down.

You gotta shove 'em in there.

- All right.

- And cover those up for us.

- With any experiment, any trial, you have to have a control.

This is our control.

- Oh good.

- No mulch.

- Bare ground.

- Bare ground.

- Okay.

- Right.

- You're gonna have competition.

- It's gonna have to be a lot of competition.

- They're gonna have to be tough.

- There's gonna be a lot of competition.

- All right.

Let's get 'em planted.

- And we can already see the competition, can't we?

- Yes.

- Yeah.

- You can plant the sunflower and I'll plant the zinnias.

And we don't wanna plant 'em too deep.

- Not too deep.

- You just want the top of that little plug to be right there at the soil surface.

Cover it up so it don't dry out.

- All right.

- I don't know if that'll happen with this wetness we've been having.

We're just gonna- - That's good.

- Scooch down and we'll do some direct seeding.

- All right.

- I'm putting two in each of these holes just 'cause they're sticking to my fingers.

- Okay.

- That'll give us good odds.

- Yeah.

- Especially with the soil so wet.

All right.

They're planted.

- They are planted.

And Celeste, we appreciate that.

- Yes.

- And we will see what happens.

- I'm excited to see how it turns out.

- Later.

Yeah, we will see how it turns out.

So, thank you much.

We appreciate that.

- Yeah.

- All right.

- Glad to be here.

- Muddy fingers.

Yay!

- Yay!

Yeah.

[upbeat country music] - It's been a couple of weeks since we put down the mulch and we planted the vegetables.

It has also been raining a lot over the last few weeks, so the ground is incredibly wet.

We've seen beans come up in some of the squares of mulch.

We have not seen beans in the other.

I'm wondering if it's because they rotted in the ground.

'Cause really, it's sopping wet.

Now, the first beans to come up were in the black plastic mulch, which is kind of expected because that is where it will be the warmest because of the black plastic.

There are weeds that are coming up in a couple places, even in the plastic mulches, right around the plants.

We're seeing weeds come up.

But in the control, we have lots of little weeds that are sprouting.

That's not a problem in any of the other beds because of the mulch.

So, that's where we're at right now.

We'll just have to see how we're doing going forward.

[upbeat country music] - All right, Joellen.

So, we're gonna talk about pests and diseases of seasonal colors.

So, where you wanna start with that?

- Well, there are several things we can do.

So, you've had planted some plants this year and they didn't do well.

Maybe some others did.

And you wanna know maybe what went wrong or- - That's right.

- What's going on.

- I suggest doing crop rotations, especially a lot of people tend to put the same flowers in every year.

It might, you know, do a different color of the same flower, but they'll tend to do a lot of the same flowers every year.

And that's where you get into trouble.

So, not only is it more interesting for you and your neighbors to see different flowers in your bed, but it's also actually better to have the crop rotation for the diseases and the bugs.

- Okay, that makes sense.

It does.

- One of example would be like vinca.

A lot of people have trouble with vinca.

And it all of a sudden they'll start having one little spot will wilt and then it keeps, the whole plant will wilt and then it dies.

- Right.

- And they're mystified as to what happened.

Well, they've got it in the right place.

You know, it's sunny.

But it might be too wet because the number one disease for vinca seems to be phytophthora.

- Okay.

- And so, you can't really, you know?

Unless you just dig up all the soil and rechange all of it, that's always gonna be there.

In fact, that's a disease that's commonly everywhere.

- Okay.

- So, what you might like to do is change that out.

Instead of putting vinca in every year, go then next year do something else that likes the sun.

Like Ageratum, Celosia, lantana, marigold, zinnia.

All of those are not so susceptible to the phytophthora, so.

- Okay.

- Like the vinca is.

- Okay.

- So, change them out.

Another, now that's sun.

Well, what about shade?

Now, the number one problem with impatiens and it's worse in other parts of the country than it is here, is the impatiens powdery mildew.

- Okay.

- And what will happen is, and I know people have experienced this 'cause I have.

- I have.

- All of a sudden they get yellowy and kinda start to wilt.

And most people don't look on the backside of the leaf.

And if they did, there'd be a white powdery, fluffy part of the disease spores coming out there.

So, but then the leaves fall off and then you end up with a bunch of sticks.

- That's right.

- And then, the next thing you know, the sticks die.

[Chris laughing] So I, but that powdery mildew, that organism is to stay in the ground for a while.

So, it's really good to not plant there for several years.

- Okay.

- To see if that will go away.

And some parts of the country, it's not going away, But here, it seems to be good in some places and bad and worse in others.

So, I would try something else.

- And we actually learned about that maybe a couple of years ago, you know, here.

- Yes.

- In this area specifically.

So yeah, it's been a problem.

- Yeah, and they can put other things in like Torenia.

- Okay.

- There's some gorgeous Torenia and New Guinea impatiens, Caladiums.

- Ah yeah.

- And there's a new impatiens that's called Bounce that's out there.

- I've heard of that.

- Is also available.

- Okay.

- And then, of course another problem that people have is petunias.

Petunias will suddenly turn wilty and then just die suddenly.

[Chris laughing] And that's, a lot of that condition is too wet also.

But it also could be the botrytis or the phytophthora again.

- Right.

- So, try something different.

Begonias, Coleus.

Potatoes, sweet potato vines.

- Okay.

That's something different.

- Sunpatiens, anything that likes kind of a sunny part, sunny, partly shady area.

- Okay.

- So that, in other words the host plants of crop rotation and resistant varieties are good to add to the ground if you've had trouble with certain plants - Okay.

- During the growing season.

- Let me ask you about the phytophthora root rot.

So, what do we need to do with our soils though?

Do we need to build the soils up or?

- Yes.

- What do you think?

- Well drained 'cause all of these diseases and that will go into our cultural.

Another thing we have to look for cultural problems.

And we gotta think of this disease triangle.

And a lot of people go, "What disease?

What is that?"

- Yeah.

What is it?

- Well, a disease triangle, there's three things that have to be present for a disease to take hold.

And that is the host plant.

The pathogen has to be present, - Okay.

- Which it most always is.

And then, the environment.

So, what of that we can control is the host plant.

And the other thing we can control is the environment.

- Right.

- Now, we can't stop it from raining on our plants.

But we can get the soil so it drains well.

And so, that's what- - Okay.

- I would suggest.

Amend the soil, build it up, sort of like what we did out here out front in our flower bed.

- Right.

- We raised it up just a little bit so that it would drain better.

- Okay.

- And that can help out with all of those disease and insect problem 'cause if it's weakened, not only do the diseases take over, but insects take over too.

- Yeah.

Here they come, they come, right, you know, forward for the most part.

- And of course, if you have something that dies, another thing you can do to help prevent disease and insects in the future is to take those dead plants and actually destroy them.

Don't put those in the compost pile.

- Okay.

- Because then you're just gonna spread the disease everywhere you put your compost.

- That's right.

You have spores all over the place.

- Yeah.

- You don't wanna do that.

- That's right.

- You don't wanna do that.

And of course, the last thing you need to do is as a last resort is chemical control.

- Okay.

- And I would suggest using the least environmentally harmful chemical that you can just to get the disease like aphids.

Aphids get on a lot of things.

- Yeah.

- Easily controlled with insecticidal soaps.

And caterpillars, like the cannas get the caterpillar- - The leaf roller.

- The leaf roller.

- That's right.

- And very easily controlled with Bt, which is Bacillus thuringiensis.

So, very easily controlled with those things and makes your plants look real pretty.

But be sure whatever you use, what if you're gonna use a chemical, make sure you've got the the pest ID'd.

- That's right.

It makes a difference.

- 'Cause you gotta know what you're trying to control.

- Yes.

- And then, read the label directions because you really don't want to spray, you know, any more than you need to.

- That's right.

- And watch the time of day you do that 'cause you don't wanna... You're spraying flowers and you've got pollinators on 'em.

So, you want to do at- - That's good point.

- The end of the day in the evening just before the sun sets when the pollinators are not out foraging.

- Good point.

Yeah, we don't wanna harm those pollinators.

- No.

- I'm glad you mentioned that as well.

Yeah.

Always read and follow the label though.

- Yes.

- I always tell folks.

Just don't take our word for it.

- Yeah.

- Go ahead and read the label for yourself and you'd be just fine.

And you know, something else too?

Some water, you know, just a jet force of water for the most part could knock off some of those aphids and some of those, you know, other pests as well.

You know, just put it in a little spray bottle.

Just, can knock off 'cause they're soft-bodied and you can easily knock 'em off.

- Another thing that I would like people to realize is that a wilting plant does not necessarily mean it needs more water.

Just check the soil and see if it actually is still moist or not.

- Okay.

- 'Cause you, you know, a wilting plant doesn't always mean it needs more water.

And a lot of these diseases have problems with being overwatered.

- Okay.

Overwatered.

- And watering on the top of the soil surface and not on the foliage is another good key to trying to- - Right.

- Keep the environment in a state so that the plants don't get weakened.

- Okay.

- To get diseases and insects.

- All right, Joellen.

We definitely appreciate that information.

- No problem.

- Good as always.

[upbeat country music] - It's been a couple weeks since we planted here in the mulch and the plants are up, and it's time to go ahead and move the mulch back around.

Really important.

Because there was bare dirt, there's weeds.

So, we're gonna make sure we pull all the weeds out.

I've done most of them.

We'll just get this one.

It's the last one.

It's a little grass here.

Okay.

So now, we're gonna push it in.

Now, there's two rows of plants here, so I'm gonna have to kinda come in between to put the mulch in.

And one of the purposes of mulch is to make sure that the sunlight doesn't get to the ground because many weed seeds need some sun to germinate.

So, if you keep 'em in the shade, then they're not gonna germinate.

Okay.

So, it looks pretty good here.

Let's go ahead and move back to the pine straw.

So here, same thing.

When we planted it, we kind of scooted the pine straw off to the side like we did with the shredded mulch.

So, I can just take that and go ahead and push that back in.

And also, the mulch will help keep the water in the soil.

Makes it so it doesn't dry out quite as fast, which in the heat of summer will be really, really helpful.

Pine needles also have the advantage of the deter slugs and snails.

Okay, so there we go.

Now, we have our beans mulched.

Hopefully that'll cut down on weeds, increase water.

And in this case, keep the slugs and snails away.

[upbeat country music] - All right, here's our Q&A segment.

Y'all ready?

- Yes sir.

- These are some excellent questions, right?

Here's our first viewer email.

"What is this plant?

I found it and brought it home with me."

And this is Laura from Corinth, Mississippi.

Ms. Laura, guess what?

You know I'm from Mississippi, right?

So, I saw this plant as a youngster going through the woods.

Loves damp conditions.

I've seen it by riverbanks and such.

Peppervine is what that is.

- Okay.

- It is a hardy perennial vine that's woody.

- Okay.

- Okay?

Produces, in sunlight, a drupe, which is a berry.

How do you think the berry gets around?

Wildlife.

- The birds.

- Right?

The birds, right?

Would drop it around.

It's a beautiful plant.

- I thought it was-- - But it's also invasive.

- Oh.

- Yeah.

So, you definitely gonna have to put it in a situation where it's gonna be controlled a little bit, right?

'Cause if not, it will get away from you.

- Does it grow like on the ground or like up trees when you see it?

- It grows on the ground.

- Okay.

- It grows on the ground.

But again, it is a beautiful vine.

- Yeah, I thought the leaf was really pretty.

And I didn't know what it was, so I'm glad that y'all knew what that plant was.

- Yeah.

Just be careful if you bring it home.

Yeah, again, you're gonna have to control it because it is aggressive.

It will get away from you.

And again, in full sunlight it will produce the drupes.

- Good to know.

- Which the wildlife enjoy.

All right.

- Good.

So, there you have it, Ms. Laura.

You enjoy it.

And it is native to southeastern US.

- Awesome.

- Right?

So it makes sense.

Corinth, Mississippi.

- That she's finding it there.

- Right.

- So, that's why you're finding it, Laura.

So, thank you for that question reminding me of my childhood.

Appreciate that.

Here's our next viewer email.

"I've heard you can eat hostas in the spring.

Is this true?"

And this is from Jeff.

So Jeff, we're gonna ask Peter.

Is this true?

- Yes.

- Okay.

- Let me give you some more information.

- Okay.

Yeah.

- So in Japan, hostas are eaten on a fairly regular basis.

- Ah.

- Okay.

- You want to eat them or harvest them, I guess you could say, - Okay.

- When they are young and tender.

So, when you have a shoot that comes up and you know it hasn't fully opened up yet, harvest that.

- Rolled up kinda?

- Yeah, it's rolled up.

Harvest that.

- Oh yeah.

Yeah.

- Now, I have never eaten it myself.

- Yeah.

- But according to some research I did, some of the hostas, they might taste like lettuce or they may taste like asparagus.

Now, you're like, "Wow, really?

Asparagus?"

But you look at it, some of the hostas come from the Asparagaceae family.

- Oh okay.

- Oh okay.

- Which is the same family as asparagus.

So, that kinda makes sense why it would taste similar.

- I got it.

- If the leaves, you know, if you have a big hosta leaf that's been out for a little while, it's gonna start tasting bitter.

So, that's not generally what you would want.

But yes, the young tender leaves is what people eat.

- Interesting.

- That is interesting.

Almost like your leafy greens.

- I know.

- As I said, I have never tried it.

I've never tried it.

- Never tried it.

- Although I am tempted to go home and try some.

[all laughing] - We may have further information for you, Jeff.

- Yes.

- All right.

Yeah.

All right.

Thank you for that question.

Interesting question though.

- Yeah.

- All right, here's our next viewer email.

"The trunk of my lilac tree is split, "but still produces beautiful blooms.

What may have caused this and how can I help the tree?"

And this is Lisa from Logan, Ohio.

So, Celeste, can we help out Lisa?

- Sure, I think we can.

So, from that picture, you know, that wound was very long.

It ran nearly the entire length of the trunk of that tree.

And she didn't say what direction this is facing, but I'm gonna go out on a limb.

[laughs] You know, it's a tree.

- On a limb.

I got you.

- I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that it's probably facing south, southwest possibly.

That is where we get the most action in the trunk from this freeze-thaw situation.

And you know, it becomes even more prominent, I feel like the further south that you go, because we've got highly fluctuating- - Yes we do.

- Temperatures from daytime to nighttime.

And that's the warmest side, that southwest side.

- Right.

- So, during the daytime, if the sun is out and bright, the fluids are flowing, right.

And you have, and then the temperature drops at nighttime and it gets really cold.

So, you've just got that internal movement.

And that can cause those really long longitudinal wounds.

- Okay.

- That look pretty much like what she has there.

- Yeah.

- But I could tell around the edges of that wound, it has already started to callous over.

So, you could see that callous material forming.

I'd say, in another year or two, that entire wound will probably be completely enclosed, encapsulated with that callous tissue.

So, I don't think that that it is going to have, you know, long, super long-term effects on this particular lilac plant.

- Okay.

- But I think that that is the most likely cause of what's happening.

- Yeah, I would agree with that.

It's still producing the beautiful blooms.

My whole thing is this.

Let's just keep the lilac as comfortable as possible.

- Yes.

- Yeah.

So watering, mulching.

- Mulching.

- That would help.

Watch it and I think it'll be fine.

- Don't cover the wound with anything.

Don't paint it.

- No paint.

- Don't wrap it.

Don't do anything.

Let's just keep an eye on it.

It's doing what it's supposed to do.

- That's right.

- We know that nature is following along those footsteps that we would expect to see in a healthy plant that is recovering from a type of injury like that.

- Right, right.

And the key thing here is it's a healthy plant.

- Yeah.

- 'Cause it's actually trying to heal itself.

So, it's a good thing, Lisa.

- Yeah.

- Anything to add to that?

- And if you wanted to try and prevent that in the future.

So, if this is one of several lilac plants that you have, you might consider wrapping the trunk in, you could do burlap or something over the winter.

When you get to the summer, take it off.

- Take it off.

- Like yeah.

The plant needs to breathe but that will help to regulate that freezing and thawing that happens there a little bit and might prevent that.

- Yeah.

All right, Lisa.

Thank you for that picture.

- Yeah, it's great.

- We appreciate that.

So, thank you much for the picture and the question.

All right, so Peter, Celeste, learned so much.

Thank y'all so much.

- Thanks.

- All right.
