[speaker001:] well why don't you tell me about your lawn and gardening
[speaker002:] oh let's see it hurts um I don't know I do quite a bit of it
[speaker001:] do you do you have a large lawn
[speaker002:] um pretty fairly fairly fair amount yeah yeah we switch plants here and there do you like to garden
[speaker001:] uh-huh well I like the yard to look nice but I can't say I really enjoy it
[speaker002:] oh really
[speaker001:] yeah no I've I've got other things that I like to do and that's that's not my favorite I don't know sweating out there sweating in the sun you know and pulling weeds and those stuff
[speaker002:] oh no no I don't like that no
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] no not that part just the pretty part
[speaker001:] yeah and I won't mow the lawn either and you know watering the lawn is a pain in the butt because we don't have a an electric system so
[speaker002:] yeah right right
[speaker001:] or sprinkler system I should say so
[speaker002:] yeah I like to get out in the morning
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] and that's it
[speaker001:] well what do you like to do when you garden
[speaker002:] oh mostly I like to keep a little garden
[speaker001:] oh so you actually grow vegetables
[speaker002:] right right right just like um salad salad vegetables that kind of thing
[speaker001:] well that's nice uh-huh
[speaker002:] and um that's about it just you know and shrubbery and everything and to keep the weeds down and stuff put mulch around it so you don't have to weed them
[speaker001:] yeah yeah you know I I find that gardening for me is just uh it it's expensive
[speaker002:] it really is
[speaker001:] you know you get into buying as many plants that you need to make it look good and you know you can't just buy two or three you've got to buy a dozen for one small area
[speaker002:] right right right
[speaker001:] you know so
[speaker002:] so it doesn't look it looks skimpy if you don't
[speaker001:] exactly and I know we've got this spring we've got to push pull a bunch of stumps out because they're they kicked the bucket so
[speaker002:] oh heaven
[speaker001:] well that means we'll just have to put something else and so but you know we haven't we hadn't had any freeze damage this year of course because it hasn't been that cold I guess it's been about the same with you all
[speaker002:] really right right I think it's only frozen um we've had a freeze twice
[speaker001:] yeah and I
[speaker002:] and it wasn't very bad
[speaker001:] and the rain is unbelievable I mean it's just
[speaker002:] right right did you get any snow
[speaker001:] we got a few a few flakes last week
[speaker002:] oh you're kidding really
[speaker001:] just enough to make it look you know I mean it didn't even of course settle you know on the ground but it looked pretty while it was coming down
[speaker002:] right well that's nice
[speaker001:] yeah what about you
[speaker002:] no none none not none whatsoever so some of the plants are still kind of growing along
[speaker001:] yeah uh-huh
[speaker002:] so that makes it nice
[speaker001:] that's true that's true ours are well they're they're kind of dormant they're pretty mellow right now
[speaker002:] yeah but soon it'll be time to go out and put some bulbs I get enthusiastic in the spring and then it kind of dies down
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] a little while later when you have to take care of everything
[speaker001:] in fact I just had a garden company come by and give me a well you know one of those places that fertilizes your lawn give me an estimate because I just don't want to go out and buy all the chemicals and stuff because because I don't know what you need for this weed versus this weed versus this weed
[speaker002:] right right right
[speaker001:] so I just let them treat all my weeds and I won't have to deal with you know buying this stuff and having it sit in the garage
[speaker002:] wow that's not bad
[speaker001:] well yeah it's better for us because we don't we have a pretty small lawn
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] so and and you know the cost I think per time is a little less than thirty bucks so
[speaker002:] do they get get rid of the ants and stuff like that
[speaker001:] I don't think they do the ants I think they're just dealing with the weeds
[speaker002:] oh oh not bad not bad at all though
[speaker001:] no because we've got a real problem they're overtaking everything so but I mean we got some good grass but it's getting you know um
[speaker002:] to the point where the weeds are taking over the grass
[speaker001:] exactly it's getting choked out
[speaker002:] oh my
[speaker001:] well I think we covered it don't you do you know anything else you want to talk about about gardening
[speaker002:] oh let's see I still have onions growing in the garden
[speaker001:] you you still have onions growing
[speaker002:] well they'll in Texas they'll go all year around
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] and then if you want green onions you just go out there and grab some
[speaker001:] so so do you go uh give them away that you have so many
[speaker002:] no
[speaker001:] you use them pretty much yourself
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] well that's good
[speaker002:] yeah if you put them in all times of the year you can go out and take them you know for a green onion here and there and then if you have some left over they'll go to a a regular bulb onion and then you can have that the next um
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] the next time next next year yeah
[speaker001:] so the green onions the green onions grow into the the bigger onions
[speaker002:] yeah huh yeah they will if you let them alone and then you can put them anywhere sometimes I'll put mix them in with plants
[speaker001:] wow uh-huh
[speaker002:] just have a bunch of green here and there
[speaker001:] well you sound like somebody that needs to come to my house and do a little work but
[speaker002:] and then oh let's see and then um I put rye grass or my husband did put rye grass out this winter to make it look green
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] um right you put it around September November to make it look green
[speaker001:] uh-huh and that stuff fades away though right
[speaker002:] right when it starts getting hot um
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] it'll start dying down and your regular grass will come back in
[speaker001:] uh-huh so it doesn't cover I mean it it it doesn't compete with the regular grass or anything
[speaker002:] in the no no no no huh-uh it has real shallow roots everything but you got to get out and mow it it looks nice for a while and then it goes away and it kind of fertilizes the grass that's there all the time
[speaker001:] uh-huh
