[LAUGHTER] >> THE EARTHWORM IS A SIGN THERE IS LOTS OF LIFE IN YOUR GARDEN.

♪ >> GOOGLE DOESN'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS, AND THE BEST WAYS TO TALK TO FELLOW GARDENERS.

>> IN THE SPRING, IT HAS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT LOOK.

I KIND OF LIKE THAT IT CHANGES FROM MONTH-TO-MONTH.

PAMELA: HELLO, AND WELCOME BACK TO GREAT GARDENING.

I'M ASHLEY SMITH, DIRECTOR OF CONTENT HERE AT WDSE AND HOST FOR THIS EVENING.

THANK YOU, EVERYONE AT HOME FOR JOINING US FOR OUR FIRST SHOW OF 2022.

IT'S STILL WINTER, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T PREPARE FOR THE UPCOMING GROWING SEASON.

WE HAVE OUR GARDEN EXPERTS WITH US.

EDUCATOR BOB: AND GARDEN PROFESSION OR DEB BURNS ERICKSON.

THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING HERE.

I'M READY TO HAVE A LOT TO TALK ABOUT.

BOB: LOTS COMING UP.

ASHLEY: AS ALWAYS, WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU, OUR GARDENERS ACROSS THE REGION WHO HAVE QUESTIONS FOR OUR EXPERTS.

VOLUNTEERS FROM THE ST. LOUIS COUNTY MASTERS PROGRAM ARE HERE TO OPEN THE PHONES WHEN YOU CALL IN.

WE HAVE A NEW NUMBER TODAY, SO TAKE NOTE.

PLEASE CALL 218-788-2844 -- 218-788-2847.

IT'S A SPECIAL PART OF OUR MEMBERSHIP DRIVE.

I HOPE YOU GOT A CHANCE TO SEE THE BEHIND THE SCENES AS WE TRANSITIONED LIVE FROM DOCTORS ON CALL INTO GREAT GARDENING.

BE SURE TO STICK AROUND AFTER THE PROGRAM FOR MORE.

PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING YOUR CALL WHILE YOU WATCH.

TODAY IS A VERY SPECIAL EPISODE OF GREAT GARDENING, AND THAT IS BECAUSE WE ARE CELEBRATING A SIGNIFICANT ANNIVERSARY.

THIS PROGRAM BEGAN 20 YEARS AGO IN 2002 AS A SERIES OF SPECIALS WHERE WE TOOK OUR VIEWERS TO HITTING GARDENS ACROSS DULUTH AND CARLTON COUNTY.

NOW, 20 YEARS LATER, WE ARE STILL HERE, LEARNING ABOUT THE REGIONS INCREDIBLE GARDENS AND HEARING FROM OUR INCREDIBLE EXPERTS ABOUT HOW TO MAKE OUR OWN GREAT GARDENS.

IT'S QUITE AN ACHIEVEMENT AND IT TRULY SPEAKS TO WHAT A BELOVED PAST TIME GARDENING IS, ESPECIALLY FOR THIS COMMUNITY.

YOU BOTH AGREE?

DEB: IT'S A GREAT ADDICTION.

BOB: IT IS THE NUMBER ONE HOBBY, AND ABOUT EVEN MORE ADDICTS TIMA LOT OF PEOPLE, FOR THE FIRST TIME, STARTED TO GARDEN AND THEY ARE RETAINING THAT INTEREST.

IT IS A LOT OF FUN.

ASHLEY: WHAT DO YOU THINK HAS KEPT THIS GOING SO STRONG FOR 20 YEARS?

[LAUGHTER] BOB: 20 YEARS.

SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY.

TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF INTEREST AND RESPONSE FROM OUR VIEWERS.

THE VIEWERS KEEP THIS PUBLIC TELEVISION PROGRAM GOING, AND THEY HAVE RESPONDED WONDERFULLY, AND WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD A GREAT TIME OF BRINGING SOMETHING LOCAL.

ALL THE WEATHER IS LOCAL AND ALL OF OUR GARDENING IS LOCAL.

ASHLEY: AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS.

LET'S TAKE A STEP BACK IN TIME AND SEE SOME OF THE GREAT CONTENT FROM THE LAST 20 YEARS.

>> BEST-KEPT SECRET GARDENS IS NEXT.

>> A LOT OF IT IS DULUTH GREYSTONE THAT WE CALLED IN.

WE TRIED TO BUILD A NATURAL POND, AND OUR MISSION WAS TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE IT HAS BEEN HERE FOR 100 YEARS.

>> NICE DEEP, BLUE PIGMENTATION.

WE WOULD HANDLE THEM JUST AS WE HANDLE ANY OTHER POTATO.

>> I HAVE STARGAZER LILIES AND THEY JUST STARTED BLOOMING.

I HAVE THE VERONICA, THAT POPS UP ALL OVER.

IN THE BACKGROUND I HAVE THIS AND THERE'S ONE MILLION BEES AND HUMMINGBIRDS ON THOSE.

>> LILIES ALWAYS DRAW ATTENTION, AND THEY LIKE SHADE, ONE OF THE FEW LILIES THAT REALLY LIKE SOME SHADE.

IN THEY ARE QUITE POPULAR IN THIS KIND OF SETTING.

ASHLEY: THIS SHOW HAS ALWAYS BEEN SO COLORFUL, DON'T YOU AGREE?

BOB: THAT'S A BIG PART OF GARDENING, AND WE HAVE ONE COLOR THIS YEAR.

ASHLEY: WHITE.

ABSOLUTELY.

SPEAKING OF SNOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT OUR CURRENT CONDITIONS TODAY.

BOB: WE HAVE A HEAVY SNOW LOAD THAT WILL BE GOOD FOR PLANTS, VERY LITTLE FROST IN THE GROUND.

BOB: I DON'T -- DEB: I DON'T THINK THERE WILL BE A LOT OF LOSS.

IT WILL BE GOOD FOR PEOPLE.

BOB: WE WILL BE VERY WATER CONSCIOUS.

WE WERE LAST YEAR.

IF WE HAVE SLOW SNOWMELT THAT WILL BE ONE OF THE BEST THINGS WE CAN GET.

SOME OF THE MOISTURE INTO THE GROUND.

DEB: MARCH LOOKS LIKE A GOOD SLOW THOUGHT.

ASHLEY: LET'S TALK ABOUT A SEASON RECAP.

BOB: WE CAN TAKE YOU ABOUT ABOUT NINE MONTHS AND PEOPLE DO REMEMBER LAST YEAR.

THERE ARE SOME OF THE DATA, IT'S THE DATA AGE.

WE WERE WARMER DURING THE DAY THAN AVERAGE.

WARMER AT NIGHT THAN AVERAGE.

OVERALL WE WERE OVER AVERAGE ABOUT 67.8 DEGREES WAS OUR AVERAGE TEMPERATURE LAST YEAR AND OVER AND AMOUNT OF TIME LAST 20 YEARS IT HAS BEEN 64.8.

WE ARE THREE DEGREES WARMER, BUT NOT EXTREME TEMPERATURES.

EVEN THOUGH THINGS ARE WARMING AND THE GROWING SEASON IS EXTENDING, WE ARE REALLY NOT GETTING THAT INTENSE HEAT THAT COULD BE DAMAGING.

THIS IS PRETTY BENEFICIAL.

WE TYPICALLY WOULD HAVE RAINFALL.

WE HAVE SEEN OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS.

WE HAD THOSE LAST YEARS, BUT A LITTLE BIT OUT OF THE GROWING SEASON.

EARLY FALLS WHEN WE GOT HEAVY RAINFALL.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE RAINFALL IN JULY.

>> OR EVEN JUNE FOR THE CARROTS.

GERMINATION WAS TOUGH.

BOB: IT WAS A REAL CHALLENGE.

ASHLEY: WHERE WE GOING?

BOB: IF WE ONLY KNEW THAT.

WE FOLLOW THE CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER.

IT IS A GRAPHIC THAT'S THE MOST RECENT PREDICTION.

SAY WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AVERAGE MOISTURE.

IF WE HAD ABOVE AVERAGE MOISTURE , THAT COULD BE IDEAL.

WE HAVE AVERAGE MOISTURE AND EARLY IN THE SEASON WE WILL HAVE ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES.

THEY HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT.

THE PREDICTIONS HAVEN'T CHANGED.

AS WE COME INTO THE LATTER PART OF THE SEASON, SAME PATTERN.

YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SOUTHWEST FARTHER SOUTH.

ONCE AGAIN WE MAY HAVE PEOPLE MIGRATING NORTH, THE CLIMATE REFUGEES, BUT CERTAINLY, WE WILL HAVE A WARM SEASON, AVERAGE.

BUT MOISTURE IS A GOOD BET, HOT AND DRY AND WE WILL HAVE TO THINK ABOUT CONSERVING MOISTURE AND PLANTING ACCORDINGLY.

ASHLEY: LOTS OF TREE PLANTING FOR THE SEASON.

BOB: YOU WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT, THINK ABOUT IRRIGATION SYSTEMS, THINK ABOUT MULCHING, YOU WANT TO THINK ABOUT COMING IN FROM TRANSPLANTS RATHER THAN DIRECT SEATING.

THE REAL FINE SEED DOES TAKE CONTINUOUS MOISTURE A QUARTER OF AN INCH.

SO WE HAVE TO SUPPLY CONSISTENT MOISTURE OR YOU CAN PUT TRANSPLANTS IN.

DEB: WATER THE TRANSPLANT BEFORE YOU PUT IT IN.

BOB: MAYBE YOU WANT TO WATER THE SOIL.

IT ALL GOES IN AT THE SAME TIME AND THEN DRIVES THOSE ROUTES DOWN IN THE TRANSPLANT.

IF YOU ARE SEEING CARROTS OR BEATS, IT WOULDN'T HURT TO HAVE THAT IRRIGATION OR SPRINKLER OUT THERE.

NOT JUST ONE SHOT, BUT PLAN ON IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK.

KEEPING THAT SEEDBED MOIST.

ONCE WE GET A GOOD TEMPER DOWN, THEN WE ARE OK. ASHLEY: LOTS OF GOOD TIPS ALREADY AND LOTS MORE TO COME.

LET'S HEAD BACK IN TIME.

WE'VE GOT ANOTHER LOOK FROM 2007.

WE VISITED THE SECRET GARDEN OF SANDY.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

♪ >> I'M SANDY AND I'M STANDING IN MY FRONT YARD NEXT TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE FALL PLANTS.

I JUST THINK IT'S JUST A FUNKY, LOVELY LOOKING FLOWER.

I LOVE THE LEAVES ON IT.

IT'S A GREAT OVERALL PLANT.

AND NOW WE ARE ENTERING MY SECRET GARDEN.

MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS IS THAT IT'S TOTALLY SECLUDED AND MY HUSBAND DID THE ROCK WORK AND PUT THIS LITTLE TABLE.

KIND OF OUR LITTLE ITALIAN THEME AREA WHERE WE HAVE THE VINES GROWING OVER.

THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE, THIS BABY, YOU COULD SEE WHY THEY CALL HIM ELEPHANT'S EARS.

THEY ARE JUST FUN.

I LIKE THE TROPICS, SO IT'S FUN TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TROPICS IN MINNESOTA.

I AM PRETTY PARTIAL TO OUR WILDFLOWERS.

I LIKE IT ALL, I GUESS.

THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF OUR FIRST GARDENS THAT WE DID EARLIER.

I LIKE IT BECAUSE IT GOES ALL THE WAY UP TO THE TOP.

YOU CAN SEE THEY ARE SEATING NOW, SO I CAN ACTUALLY SEE THEM FROM WHEN I'M SITTING UP THERE.

I LIKE THAT.

I LIKE BEING SURROUNDED BY FLOWERS, AND MY HOUSE IS SURROUNDED BY FLOWERS.

I LOVE IT.

IT'S SO RELAXING.

I JUST LOVE THE OUTDOORS, IT'S MY OWN LITTLE BIT OF EDEN, KIND OF.

BUGS IN ALL.

RABBITS, BOWLS, MICE.

♪ ASHLEY: SHE'S REALLY GOT A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN.

BOB: IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

SANDY DOES A NICE JOB AND SHE HAS BEAUTIFUL NIGHT GARDENS OR SHE HAS PLANTS THAT REALLY STAND OUT IN LOW LIGHTS.

SHE HAS DONE A NICE JOB IN A SMALL, URBAN LOCATION.

IT SHOWS YOU WHAT YOU CAN DO.

ASHLEY: IT'S TIME FOR US TO GET INTO A COUPLE QUESTIONS AND MAKE SURE FREE YOU AT HOME TO PLEASE CALL THE NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN AND SEND IN YOUR NUMBER FOR OUR GARDEN EXPERTS.

I HAVE A QUESTION, PERSONALLY, DO YOU HAVE ADVICE FOR A BRAND-NEW GARNER, ESPECIALLY ONE WHO LIVES IN AN APARTMENT?

WHERE SHOULD I GET STARTED TO START GETTING A GREEN THUMB?

BOB: I WILL THROW THAT TO DEBBIE.

>> HOUSEPLANTS ARE OBVIOUSLY INDOORS.

WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND FOR SOMEONE BEGINNING, IF YOU GO FOR SOMETHING LESS EXPENSIVE, THAT MEANS IT'S READILY AVAILABLE AND EASIER TO GROW.

START WITH SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE EASIER TO GROW, FERNS, ALOE VERA IS, THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME.

NEW BREEDING, NEW COLORING AND THESE ARE VERY EASY TO GROW.

JUST START WITH SOMETHING MAY BE SMALL AND START TRYING INSTEAD OF THE BIG FERN THAT WILL FAIL, BUT IT'S ALL OVER INSTAGRAM AND EVERYBODY WANTS IT.

BUT YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO START WITH A $40 PLANT.

START WITH A FIVE DOLLAR TO 10 DOLLAR RANGE, SOMETHING ACCESSIBLE.

AND DON'T FREEZE IT BETWEEN BUYING IT AND GETTING IN THE CAR.

ASHLEY: SPEAKING OF KILLING PLANTS, HOW DO YOU REVIVE A DEAD PLANT, IS IT POSSIBLE?

>> IT DEPENDS ON WHAT KILLED IT.

IF IT'S NOT DEAD, IT'S ALIVE.

I HAVE DEALT WITH THIS HUNDREDS OF TIMES PERIOD I WILL LOOK AT MY PLANS AND GO, IT'S NOT DEAD, IT MEANS IT'S ALIVE, SO I HAVE TO FIND OUT IF IT'S WET OR DRY.

IF IT'S DRY, I CAN REVIVE IT.

A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHEN SOMETHING DRIES UP AND IT SHRINKS, THEN YOU HAVE TO PUT IT IN A LITTLE BIT OF WATER IN THAT SOIL NEEDS TO ABSORB.

IT'S A SPONGE.

A LOT OF PEOPLE POUR WATER ON IT AND IT WILL GO THROUGH.

WON'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM, BUT YOU CAN SOLVE TO DRY.

IF IT'S TOO WET YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT OUT.

I LIKE TO PUT IN A CONTAINER TO DRAW OUT THE MOISTURE.

IN THE POT WILL HELP TO DRAW OUT THE MOISTURE.

BUT YOU CAN, ON THOSE TWO, NOT DISEASE SO MUCH OR PESTS.

>> THAT IS PROFOUND.

IF IT'S NOT DEAD, IT'S ALIVE.

ASHLEY: WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ABOUT A TOMATO OR PACKER PLANT THAT IS STARTING TO DWINDLE?

AND THOSE COME BACK?

BOB: YES AND NO.

OFTEN TIMES THEY CAN COME BACK, BUT WE NEVER WANT TO LET ANYTHING GET WATER STRESSED TO THE POINT WHERE IT'S WILTING.

YOU WANT TO WATER BEFORE THAT BECAUSE THERE WILL BE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF DAMAGE.

YOU SET A PLANT BACK.

I THINK IF THESE PREDICTIONS COME THROUGH ANOTHER WARM, DRY YEAR, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THAT, HAVE THE WATER READY.

WE COULD DO A LOT OF THINGS, TRICKLE OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE, THE PERFORATED GARDEN HOSING IS AVAILABLE.

THINK ABOUT MULCHES, AND EVEN YOUR COMPOST, WHEN YOU'RE WORKING IN SOIL, COMPOST IS A GOOD AMENDMENT, AND ON THE TOP OF THE SOIL THAT HOLDS MOISTURE IN.

POLLY SOIL MULCHES YOU GET WATER AND IT DOESN'T EVAPORATE QUICKLY, BUT TRY TO GET TO THE PLANT BEFORE IT BEGINS TO WILT.

SOME PLANTS, TOMATOES WILL COME BACK, BUT SQUASH, PUMPKINS FLAG AND IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO BRING BACK.

>> PEOPLE HAVE TO CHECK THAT BECAUSE IT WILL WILT IF IT'S TOO WET.

DON'T AUTOMATICALLY GO TO, IT'S WILTING, I NEED TO WATER IT.

ASHLEY: THERE'S A LOT THAT CAN GO WRONG.

BETTY FROM AURORA WOULD LIKE INFORMATION ON WINTER SEED SELLING.

>> HAVE YOU DONE THAT?

WE HAVE -- BOB: WE HAVE ONE OF OUR MASTER GARDENERS THAT DOES A NICE JOB WITH THAT.

IT'S A TECHNIQUE WHERE YOU ARE BASICALLY GOING TO USE A PLASTIC MILK JUG AND YOU ARE JUST GOING TO PERFORATE THE BOTTOM SO THE WATER RUNS OUT, YOU WILL POUR THE LID OFF AND FILL IT WITH POTTING SOIL OR A SEATING MIX.

SEATING MIX DON'T HAVE ANY FERTILIZER IN THEM, SO USE AN ACTUAL SEATING MIX AND SPREAD SOME SEEDS ON THEIR, AND THEN CLOSE IT BACK UP AND SET IT OUTSIDE.

AND IT WILL GERMINATE ON ITS OWN TIME, THEN YOU WILL GET A CLUSTER OF SEEDS.

YOU COULD SEE DENSELY OR SPARSELY ON YOUR SOIL MAKES THEIR.

AND THEN YOU CAN TAKE THOSE, IT'S A FUN PROJECT THAT WORKS REAL NICE AND IT'S REALLY QUITE EASY.

ASHLEY: THANK YOU FOR SHARING.

MARY FROM DULUTH HAS A QUESTION FOR US NOW.

WHAT WOULD CAUSE YOUR VEGETABLES TO NOT GROW BIG?

BOB: IF YOU STUNNED A VEGETABLE AND STOP THE GROWING PROCESS, YOU HAVE THAT FERTILITY, IT STUNS THE PLANT AND THEN IT HAS TO OVERCOME THAT PARTICULAR PROCESS.

SO IT'S EITHER THAT, OR LACK OF FERTILITY, LACK OF MOISTURE.

>> SOMETIMES PEOPLE KEEP THEM TOO LONG IN THEIR CONTAINERS AND THAT WILL REALLY STUMPED THEM.

>> IDEALLY YOU LIKE THE SEED ON THE RELATIVELY YOUNG PLANT AND THEN YOU WANT TO MOVE IT OUT AFTER THE THREAT OF FROST, MOIST CONDITIONS THAT KEEP THE WATER.

ONE CONTINUOUS PROCESS FROM SEE DING, TO TRANSPLANT TO GROWTH.

>> KEEP IT ACTIVELY GROWING THE ENTIRE SEASON.

ASHLEY: DAVE FROM PIKE LAKE HAS A REALLY INTERESTING QUESTION.

HOW CLOSE CAN I PLACE PATIO BLOCKS TO A 12-YEAR-OLD APPLETREE WITHOUT DAMAGING THE TREE ROOTS?

BOB: DO YOU WANT TO TAKE A CRACK?

I WILL TAKE A SHOT AT THAT.

I THINK APPLES, FOR THE MOST PART, HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL TEMPER.

YOU COULD COME CLOSE TO THEM.

REMEMBER, YOU WANT THE WATER TO PERCOLATE DOWN THROUGH THERE.

YOU DON'T WANT TO SEND BED AND VERY TIGHT PATIO BRICKS.

SEPARATE THEM OUT SO THE WATER CAN STILL PERCOLATE.

AS LONG AS YOU ARE NOT IN CONTACT WITH THE BAR, IF THEY ARE NOT PARTICULARLY SHALLOW, I THINK YOU WON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS AS LONG AS THE WATER IS ABLE TO PERCOLATE DOWN THROUGH.

>> DON'T GET CRAZY ABOUT THE COMPACTION BECAUSE THAT COULD DO A LOT OF DAMAGE.

BOB: I'M THINKING YOU ARE AN INCH OR TWO INCHES BETWEEN THOSE PATIO BLOCKS.

>> DON'T LET IT BE A DRIVEWAY.

BOB: THE OTHER THING IS, IF HE WANTS TO PUT IT RIGHT AROUND THE TREE, THAT'S FINE, THE MOST OF THE ACTIVE GROWTH IS ON THE DRIP LINE AND A FOOT ON THE OUTSIDE CANOPY OF THE TREE.

IF THAT'S OPEN AND YOU ARE GETTING PLENTY OF MOISTURE AND FERTILITY, THE TREE WILL BE JUST FINE.

ASHLEY: I THINK WE HAVE TIME FOR ONE MORE QUICK QUESTION.

STAN ASKS, WHAT KIND OF LIGHT SHOULD YOU USE FOR STARTING SEEDS INSIDE?

REGULAR FLUORESCENT LIGHTS ARE OK?

>> INTERESTING, A LOT OF PEOPLE BUY THE EXPENSIVE LIGHTS.

BUT, AS BOB HAS TOLD ME, YOU CAN HAVE A COOL LIGHT AND WARM LIGHT, BECAUSE YOU CAN BUY THE LEDS AND HAVE BOTH.

THAT GIVES YOU THE FULL RANGE SPECTRUM.

YOU'LL HAVE TO GO CRAZY ON EXPENSIVE GROW LIGHTS.

YOU CAN START AN EXPERIMENT AND SEE THE MORE LIGHT, THE BETTER THEY ARE GOING TO DO.

SOME THINGS LIKE A LITTLE DARKNESS FOR GERMINATION.

BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING, A GOOD BRIGHT LIGHT THAT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE TERRIBLY EXPENSIVE AND YOUR SET UP.

BOB: SPEND YOUR MONEY ON REPLACING THE BULBS.

AS YOU POINT OUT, NOW SEED DOES REQUIRE LIGHT, EVEN IF IT'S IN THE GROUND AS LIGHT IS PERCOLATING THROUGH.

A CARRO SEED IS AN EXAMPLE.

SOME WILL GERMINATE IN TOTAL DARKNESS, BUT GET THAT FIXTURE DOWN SIX INCHES.

KEEP MOVING IT UP SO IT'S A CHAIN LAKE.

INEXPENSIVE FLUORESCENCE AND CHANGE THE BOLTS.

OR LEDS.

COOL AND WARM.

>> IN COMBINATION ON ONE SHELF.

ASHLEY: WE HAVE GREAT QUESTIONS COMING IN SO FAR.

DON'T GO AWAY, WE WILL BE BACK WITH MORE GREAT GARDENING SHORTLY.

BUT FIRST, WE HAVE A SPECIAL REQUEST TO KEEP THE LEGACY OF ♪ ASHLEY: WELCOME BACK.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS THAT KEEP FLYING IN AND MAKE SURE TO KEEP SENDING YOUR QUESTIONS AND AT THE NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN.

LET'S JUMP INTO SOME OF THESE THAT HAVE COME IN DURING THE BREAK.

CHRISTINA FROM DULUTH ASKS, HER PIECE LILY HAS YELLOWING BROWN TIPS.

WHAT CAN SHE DO TO FIX IT?

DEB: IF SHE WANTS TO FIX THE TIPS SHE CAN CLEAN IT OFF BECAUSE THE PLANT WHENEVER REPAIR IT.

IT WILL NEVER TURN THE YELLOW BACK TO GREEN.

SHE CAN CLEAN IT UP, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE LET IT WILT, AND THEN THEY WATER IT.

SHE MIGHT'VE BEEN LETTING GET GET A LITTLE TOO WILTED.

I FIND, AND A BROAD SENSE THAT A LOT OF THINGS, IF THEY HAVE SOMETHING ON THE TIP, THERE'S A LACK OF SOMETHING.

OR WITH FLUORIDE IN WATER ON SPIDER PLANTS AND THINGS, IF YOU ARE USING, THEY ARE SENSITIVE TO THAT AND TAPWATER.

I WOULD THINK IT'S JUST TOO MUCH WATER STRESS TOO OFTEN, AND TRY TO KEEP IT ON A MORE CONSISTENT -- AND BECAUSE OF WINTER, OUR HOUSES ARE MORE DRY BECAUSE WE HAVE TO RUN THEM WARMER, THE HUMIDITY COULD BE LOW, SO THERE'S A LOT OF WATER STRESS.

BOB: A LOT OF THINGS TO LOOK AT.

SOMETIMES IT'S NOT ENOUGH NUTRIENTS, SOMETIMES IT'S TOO MUCH NUTRIENTS.

PEOPLE TEND TO OVER FERTILIZE, PARTICULARLY WHEN THE PLANT CAN'T PICK UP AND ABSORB IT.

WHEN THERE'S TOO MUCH NITROGEN, IT BURNS THE TISSUE.

SO IT'S LOTS OF THINGS.

WE LET THEM FIGURE IT OUT.

WE GAVE THEM A LOT OF OPTIONS.

ASHLEY: YOU HAD MENTIONED WARMING THE HOUSE HAVING THE CLIMATE IN THE WINTER.

I COME FROM THE EAST COAST, DOES THAT CHANGE THE WAY THAT I WOULD WORK WITH MY HOUSEPLANTS?

DEB: IT DEFINITELY CAN.

AND IF IT'S COLDER THEN YOUR HEAT IS RUNNING MORE AND YOUR ERRORS TRYING OUT.

ALSO, YOUR WINDOWS ARE COLDER.

DEPENDING ON IF YOUR PLAN IS NEAR YOUR WINDOW, HOUSEPLANT, IT CAN GET CHILLED.

IF IT'S NEAR THE HEATER, THE HEATER CAN BE BLOWING ON IT AND THEY DO NOT LIKE THAT CHANGE.

THEY DON'T LIKE CHANGE NEXT TO THE WINDOW OR TO THE HEAT AND FLEX.

THAT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE AND DEPENDS ON YOUR HEAT SOURCE.

BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE TO USE HUMIDIFIERS HERE IN THE WINTER BECAUSE IT IS SO DRY.

BOB: IT MIGHT BE THE PRICE OF FUEL OIL OR PROPANE THAT WILL DETERMINE HOW YOU HANDLE IT.

SO SOME OF THOSE THAT LIKE A COOLER, YOU CAN DO THAT IF YOU HAVE COOL, WHITE LIGHT.

PLENTY OF LIGHT BUT COOL.

THEY JUST WON'T GROW AS FAST.

MOVING THEM AROUND, SOME DO PREFER A LITTLE COOLER AND WILL TOLERATE IT.

PARTICULARLY THEY GET INTO THE ACTIVE GROWTH PHASE.

WE HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT STARTING SEED.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT 70 DEGREES IN THE SEEDBED, SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO FIND A WARM SPOT OR HEATING PAD, BECAUSE SMALL SEEDS AND SMALL SEEDLINGS TO REQUIRE WARMER TEMPERATURES THAN WHAT MOST OF OUR HOUSES ARE RIGHT NOW.

ASHLEY: THAT'S SOMETHING I NEVER WOULD'VE THOUGHT ABOUT, THAT THE INDOORS CAN BE DIFFERENT.

WE HAVE A QUESTION COMING IN ONLINE.

AMY FROM DULUTH ASKS, I WINTERED MY DOLL YOUTUBERS IN MY BASEMENT , WHEN CAN I TAKE THEM OUT AND WHAT STEPS SHOULD I TAKE?

DEB: IT DEPENDS IF SHE'S PUTTING IT IN A CONTAINER OR IN THE GROUND.

WE ALWAYS STAR IN A CONTAINER AHEAD OF TIME SO THAT YOU CAN GET AN EARLIER BLOOM.

IF YOU WAIT TO PUT IT IN THE GROUND, YOU SHOULD DO IT WHEN THE GROUND WARMS UP, BUT THEN HE WILL GET THE FLOWER AS QUICKLY.

BUT IF SHE WANTS TO PUT IT IN A CONTAINER, WE LIKE TO TAKE IT OUT TOWARDS THE END OF MARCH AND FEEL THE TUBER, MAKE SURE IT'S NICE AND FIRM, THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY DAMAGE TO IT, AND SOME CAN BE SPLIT AND THEN PUT IT INTO A NICE SIZE CONTAINER, DEPENDING IF YOU ARE GOING TO PUT IT IN THE GROUND, THEN YOU DON'T NEED A BIG ONE TO GET IT STARTED.

PUT A LITTLE SOILING, PUT YOUR TUBER AND AND COVER IT WITH A LIGHT, NOT DENSE SOIL, SO IT ISN'T TOO HEAVY ON IT SO THAT IT CAN START, AND THEN SHE COULD GET IT STARTED AT THE END OF THE MONTH, AND THEN SHE CAN MOVE IT OUTDOORS.

IT COULD TAKE A LITTLE BIT COOLER TEMPERATURES ONCE YOU START MOVING IT OUTDOORS AND GETTING IT ACCLIMATED.

THE SOONER YOU START TO ACCLIMATE IT, THE SOONER YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PUT IT OUT.

ASHLEY: PETER FROM DULUTH HAS A COMMENT.

HE SAYS, THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING TO DO WHAT YOU ARE DOING DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME.

JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT SEGMENT, WHICH IS, WHAT HAS GARDENING MEANT TO PEOPLE DURING ALL THIS TIME STAYING INDOORS?

BOB: THERE'S SO MUCH STRIFE IN THE WORLD, PARTICULARLY THE PANDEMIC AND NOW THE OVERSEAS WAR, GARDENING IS ONE OF OUR HAPPY PLACES.

AND I WILL USE HER VERBIAGE, IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY TRULY JOYFUL.

THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS FOR ME.

I LOVE COMING INTO THE SEASON WHEN THE BUDS ARE BREAKING.

SPRINGTIME IS MY FAVORITE, PROBABLY MY BUSIEST TIME, BUT THE BUDS ARE BEGINNING TO BREAK, THERE IS NEW LIFE, PARTICULARLY WHAT WE HAVE COME THROUGH.

IT'S REALLY A NICE REPRIEVE FROM THE JOY OF GARDENING.

DEB: I NOTICE A LOT MORE PEOPLE TRYING NEW HOUSEPLANTS AND BRINGING THINGS INTO THEIR HOUSE TO PURIFY THE AIR.

THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION ON THAT.

IT MAKES YOU FEEL HEALTHIER.

WHEN YOU HAVE SUCCESS WITH ANY OF IT, IT GIVES YOU A BOOST OF WELL-BEING AND WHATEVER INDOOR FAN OR WHATEVER IT IS WHEN YOU HAVE SUCCESS, IT'S A REALLY GOOD FEELING.

YOU CAN GET A LOT OF GOOD FEELING OUT OF HAVING SUCCESS IN THE GARDEN IN THE HOUSE.

BOB: WHATEVER YOUR BELIEF SYSTEM MIGHT BE, WE ALL CAME FROM A GARDEN AT SOME POINT.

I THINK THAT'S NS SOMEWHERE.

PARTICULARLY IN THE MIDWEST.

MOST OF US HAVE AGRICULTURAL BACKGROUND SOMEWHERE IN THEIR HISTORY, AND IS JUST PART OF OUR FIBER AND PART OF THE JOY OF LIVING.

WE HAD A VOLUNTEER FROM SOUTH TEXAS AND SHE SAID, I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND, SHE'S DOING HOUSEPLANTS BUT SHE SAID, WE DON'T HAVE GARDENS THIS FAR SOUTH.

SHE SAID, THIS IS A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE.

I THOUGHT, WHAT A SHAME, HERE WE HAVE CONTAINERS AND GARDEN SPACE OR COMMUNITY GARDEN THAT WE CAN ACCESS.

THAT'S SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE APPRECIATIVE OF.

ASHLEY: SPEAKING OF HOUSEPLANTS, WHICH IS SOMETHING A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BROUGHT IN DURING THE PANDEMIC, LET'S TALK ABOUT THEM.

DEB: THERE ARE SO MANY NEW HOUSEPLANTS AND IT'S NOT YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSEPLANTS, AND THERE ARE NEW COLETTE STEVE IS -- NEW PLANTS AND FERNS THAT ARE EVOLVING.

BUT FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE JUST STARTING, IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW SOME DEFINITIONS.

IF YOU ARE A BEGINNER AND YOU ARE REALLY BUSY AND HAVE AT LEAST A BRIGHT LIGHT SOURCE, YOU CAN EASILY GROW CACTUS AND SUCCULENTS.

SUCCULENTS ARE EASY.

IF YOU ARE BUSY AND ONLY HAVE LOW LIGHT, AND LOW LIGHT IS NOT ANY DIRECT LIGHT, THERE IS ZERO DIRECT LIGHT.

IT'S EASY PLANT, SNAKE CANNOT -- SNAKE PLANT.

AND IF YOU TEND TO OVERWATER THINGS ARE TEND TO TAKE TOO MUCH CARE, FERNS CAN TAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE MOISTURE AND THEY WILL DO OK WITH THAT.

SO, THOSE ARE GOOD CHOICES FOR THAT.

AND, CONSIDER YOUR ENVIRONMENT.

BRIGHT LIGHT, DEFINITIONS ON THESE THINGS BECAUSE PEOPLE STRUGGLE WITH THIS BECAUSE EVERYTHING SAYS, THEY WANT A BRIGHT LIGHT.

IT'S A WEST FACING WINDOW THAT GETS ACTUAL SUNLIGHT COMING THROUGH AND ACTUALLY HITTING THE LEAF AND CONSIDER WHERE YOUR PLANT IS FROM, THAT WILL TELL YOU HOW MUCH SUNLIGHT THEY WOULD LIKE TO TAKE, IF IT'S AN UNDER CANOPY PLANT OR IF IT'S A PLANT THAT GOES OUT IN FULL SUN.

THEY SHOULD RECEIVE AT LEAST SIX HOURS OF FULL SUN TO BE A BRIGHT LIGHT.

SUCCULENT, ALOE VERA LOVES A LOT OF LIGHT.

INDIRECT LIGHT, THERE IS EAST FACING OR A NORTH WINDOW WHERE THE LIGHT COMES IN, BUT IT DOESN'T TOUCH THE PLANT.

THOSE ARE THESE, WHICH WAS THE PLANT FROM THE MIDWIFE WHERE SHE GETS A GIANT PLANT AND THAT WAS EASY TO CARE FOR AND IN THE PICTURE.

AND THESE CAN TOLERATE LOW LIGHTS.

THEY WOULD LIKE A LITTLE BIT MORE LIGHT TO HAVE MORE GROWTH, BUT THEY WILL TOLERATE IT.

LOW LIGHT IS REALLY NO LIGHT.

IN THE WINTER, HERE, BECAUSE THE SUN IS SO MUCH LOWER, AND SO WAS THE LIGHT, SO WE DON'T GET AS MUCH LIGHT.

THAT IS NORTH FACING, AND PLANTS WILL TOLERATE IT, BUT THEY WILL GROW.

IF YOU CAN KEEP IT ALIVE, NOT pOVERWATER IT, THEN THAT I WOULD COUNT AS A SUCCESS.

AND PLEASE FERNS, SNAKE PLANTS, THEY CAN TOLERATE IT AND THOSE ARE HARDY PLANTS.

THAT'S WHERE YOU WILL WANT TO START WITH, MAYBE THOSE FOR SOMEBODY THAT'S JUST STARTING.

BOB: GREAT ADVICE.

I THINK THIS IS AN OFFSHOOT OF THE PANDEMIC WHERE PEOPLE ARE TAKING THEIR NEW INTEREST OF OUTDOOR GARDENING TO BRING IT INSIDE.

AND THIS IS THE 20TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THIS PROGRAM.

IT WAS 20 YEARS AGO WE HAD THE LAST BIG BOOM IN HOUSEPLANTS, AND IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING TO ME BECAUSE THE STATE OF MINNESOTA IS THE NUMBER ONE IMPORTING HOUSEPLANTS STAYED IN THE UNION, AND THE NUMBER ONE PRODUCING STATE IS FLORIDA.

AND IF YOU'RE EVER DOWN IN THE ORLANDO AREA, THERE'S A ROOF -- THERE IS RESORT FACILITY CALLED DISNEY WORLD.

SPEND YOUR TIME GOING TO THE NORTHWEST, AND THERE IS THIS TOWN THAT'S JUST LOADED WITH HOUSEPLANT PRODUCTION.

AND IF YOU ARE A PLANT LOVER, MY OWN EXPERIENCE SPENDING A DAY AT DISNEY WORLD, BUT SPENT ABOUT A WEEK THERE BECAUSE THE PLANT PRODUCTION WAS AMAZING.

DEB: AND THEY GROW EVERYTHING UNDER 80% SHADE SO THEY CAN SHIP IT ALL UP TO MINNESOTA BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE DEMAND IS.

ASHLEY: I WILL HAVE TO GET SOME OF THOSE AS THEY COME UP.

THANK YOU DEB.

LET'S HEAD BACK INTO THE TIME MACHINE ONE MORE TIME.

IN 2007 WE VISITED THE LAKESIDE GARDENS OF GANDY AND HARVEY OF DULUTH.

THAT'S TAKE A LOOK.

[VIDEO CLIP] ♪ >> A HOME ON PARK POINT IS SURROUNDED BY GARDENS ON ALL SIDES.

EACH ONE PLAYS UP THEIR PERSONAL STYLE, WORKING WITH THIS LANDSCAPER, THEY PUT NATIVE STONE AND DRIFTWOOD AS STRATEGIC POINTS IN THEIR YARD.

>> HE FOUND THIS UNIQUE PIECE OF DRIFTWOOD AND SUNK IT IN THE GROUND AND THE BIG TIMBER FOR THE SEAT IS A BIG PLANK THAT WAS HOLDING AND CAME IN ON THE SHORE AND HE MADE THIS SEAT AND THEN WE PUT THE BAMBOO AROUND IT.

IT WAS KIND OF A COZY CORNER FOR US.

THE BAMBOO FOR PEOPLE WHO AREN'T FAMILIAR, IS VERY INVASIVE.

IT'S A MINNESOTA BAMBOO.

SO WE HAVE 55 GALLON POLYETHYLENE BARRELS AND PLANTED THE BAMBOO INTO THAT, AND WE JUST USE THE ROCKS TO HIDE THE TOP OF THE BARRELS.

SO, IT GROWS WELL HERE.

>> ERROR CERTAIN FLOWERS THAT ARE FAVORITES OF MINE.

I DIDN'T THINK THEY WOULD EVER GROW AND I HAD GIVEN UP ON THEM, NOW THEY ARE BLOOMING AND THIS YEAR WAS THE ANGEL TRUMPETS THAT I'M TRYING, AND THAT WAS THE BIG THRILL WITH THE GARDEN CLUB.

EVERYBODY WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THAT WAS.

THEY MISSED THE LADY SLIPPERS, THEY WEREN'T QUITE OPEN YET, SO DIFFERENT TIMES HAVE DIFFERENT THINGS.

>> BY DESIGN THE YARD HOLDS A SINGLE BLADE OF GLASS ARTFULLY PLACED IN A CARPET THAT CREATE A WONDERFUL OUTDOOR LIVING ROOM WITH PLENTY OF SEATING.

>> I WANTED IT SOMEWHERE IN THE LANDSCAPE.

I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AN OLD ONE THAT WOULD BE PLANTED WITH FLOWERS, BUT WE DETERMINED THAT WE NEEDED A LITTLE AREA TO SAY AND HAVE LUNCH OR WHATEVER.

IN THIS LITTLE BOAT BECAME A DRYING POINT TO THIS AREA.

THAT'S HARVEY'S WORK, YES.

HE HAD TO HAVE A HAND IN THIS, HE DUG OUT THIS SEND THE WORK ON THAT.

THERE'S SO MANY UNIQUE LITTLE THINGS THAT ARE SUBTLY HIDDEN HERE.

NOT OUT TO SAY I'M A PROP.

SO, THAT'S THE FUN THING.

>> A POND WITH FISH AND FROGS AT SOUND AND ANOTHER POINT OF INTEREST TO THE BACKYARD, AND ANOTHER SOURCE OF DELIGHT FOR CANDY.

>> IF WE HAD SAT DOWN AND SOMEBODY WOULD'VE TOLD ME THIS IS WHAT WE WOULD HAVE IN THE END, I WOULD'VE SAID, THERE IS NO WAY, ABSOLUTELY NO WAY.

I THINK THAT'S BEEN THE BIGGEST THRILL, TO NOT ONLY HARVEY AND I, BUT ALSO WORKING WITH WALT.

IT'S A GARDEN THAT WE WORKED ON TOGETHER, AND WE KNEW WE COULD COMPLETED.

WE DIDN'T HAVE TO QUIT BECAUSE THERE'S NO FUNDS OR BECAUSE YOU RUN OUT OF ENERGY, TIME OR WHATEVER.

THAT HAS BEEN THE FUN PART.

BUT IT'S FUN.

HARVEY TAKES A LOT OF PRIDE IN IT.

HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FLOWERS, BUT HE TAKES PRIDE IN LOVES TO SHOW PEOPLE WHO THEY ARE AND HE HELPS WITH THE LITTLE BIRDHOUSES.

HE LIKES TO MAKE THOSE FOR ME AND WE ARE ENJOYING IT NOW.

AS TO THE POINT WHERE WE CAN SHOW IT TO PEOPLE AND WE HAVE A GOOD TIME.

>> IT'S HARD TO GO IN AT NIGHT.

YOU THINK I'VE GOT ALL THESE THINGS TO DO, YET, YOU SIT OUT HERE.

♪ [END OF VIDEO CLIP] ASHLEY: ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET SOME MORE QUESTIONS FROM OUR VIEWERS.

RYAN FROM SUPERIOR ASKS, WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GIVE MY BLUEBERRIES A STRONG START AND KEEP THEM DOING WELL THROUGHOUT THE SEASON?

BOB: GOOD QUESTION.

WE WILL TRY TO BE TIGHT IN OUR ANSWERS.

BLUEBERRIES HAVE THREES -- THREE THINGS, FULL SUN, GOOD TRAINING AND ACIDIC SOIL.

ABOUT A CUBIC FOOT PER PLANT, AND SOME SULFUR WORKED INTO THE SOIL, AND FERTILIZING WITH AMMONIUM SULFATE TO KEEP THE PH DOWN.

FULL SUN, GOOD DRAINAGE, THE RIGHT VARIETIES AND BLUEBERRIES GO GREAT FOR US.

ASHLEY: MARTHA FROM DULUTH ASKS, I HAVE A RABBITS FOOT FERN THAT ONLY HAS A FEW FERNS ON IT BUT HAS LOTS OF FUZZY FEET.

SHOULD IT BE DIVIDED AND REPOTTED?

DEB: I DO HAVE A RABBIT FOOT FERN WITH US AND IT'S REALLY RISKY IF YOU WILL DIVIDED.

THEY DON'T HAVE A REALLY STRONG ROOT SYSTEM UNDERNEATH, THEY ARE MUCH MORE ACROSS THE TOP.

I WOULDN'T UNLESS IT'S REALLY VIGOROUS AND OUTGROWING ITS POT, JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A 50-50 CHANCE OF EITHER IT DIES.

OR MAYBE ONE WILL OR THE OTHER ONE WON'T.

BUT I THINK IT'S A BIG RISK TO TAKE WITH A RABBITS FOOT FERN.

BOB: RABBITS FOOT IS GREAT FOR THAT WINDOW.

DEB: PERFECT.

ASHLEY: WE WILL BE BACK WITH MORE GREAT GARDENING SHORTLY.

♪ >> WELCOME BACK.

HE WANTED TO MENTION THE EVENTS COMING UP IN THE COMMUNITY.

BOB: WE ARE GETTING BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.

WE HAVE SOMETHING ON APRIL 12 IN THE AFTERNOON.

THE CHANGING CLIMATE, AND THEN WE WILL FOLLOW UP IN DULUTH WITH THE SPRING GARDENING EXTRAVAGANZA AT THE DEPOT IN DOWNTOWN DULUTH ON APRIL 23.

WE WILL LOOK AT THE INTEGRATED ECO-FRIENDLY LANDSCAPE.

WE WILL LOOK AT ANIMALS, POLLINATORS, BE FRIENDLY LAWNS AND WE WIL PULL IT ALL TOGETHER.

WE WILL GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION IN THE FUTURE.

ASHLEY: WE HAVE A COUPLE MINUTES LEFT SO I WANT TO GET QUICK QUESTIONS FROM OUR VIEWERS.

JOYCE ASKS, HOW DO YOU KEEP CHIPMUNKS AWAY FROM YOUR DAFFODIL BULBS?

BOB: IF THE DAFFODILS ARE ON THE GROUND, IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO TRAP OR ELIMINATE THEM, I THINK A MESH ON TOP, PROBABLY A QUARTER INCH, PUT IT RIGHT DOWN AT THE TOP.

THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO LIFTED UP WHEN THEY GERMINATE, BUT GENERALLY, IT'S BEING SPENT AS -- NOT AS TEMPTING TO CHIPMUNKS.

ASHLEY: I HAVE ONE FOR YOU, KATHY ASKS, SHE HAS BIG PLANS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF HER HOUSE AND WANTS TO DIVIDE AND REPLANT.

IS IT BEST FOR MORNING SON, DIRECT SON?

>> THEY LIKE THIS SHADE, BUT ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE HOUSE, IT'S NOT HOT.

SON, IF SHE WANTS TO MOVE THEM TOWARDS THE EAST SIDE, WRAPAROUND FROM THE NORTH.

BUT WHEREVER SHE HAS SOME GOOD DAPPLED SON AND NOT HOT DIRECT SON.

BOB: THEY ARE THE SHADES LOVERS AND THE DEER LOVERS I HAVE BEEN TOLD.

ASHLEY: I WANT TO ASK BOTH OF YOU, WHAT IS GOOD ADVICE WE SHOULD LEAVE OUR VIEWERS WITH AS WE MOVE INTO THE GROWING SEASON?

BOB: GET READY FOR ANOTHER ABSOLUTELY GREAT YEAR AND JUST STEP BACK AND ENJOY GARDENING.

DEB: MAY BE PLANNED A DRYER YEAR AND TRY TO BE REALLY SELECTIVE ON DON'T PLAN CERTAIN ITEMS BIKE WAS IN THE ONE GARDEN, BECAUSE THEY LOVE A LOT OF WATER.

YOU WILL BE WATERING THOSE.
