"I have had overnight company several times

"in my flower beds.

What animal did this?"

And this is from Miss Kathy.

So get a good look at that there, Mr. D.

What animal do you think may have caused that?

- Hmm.

- Hmm.

- That is a good question.

Does she have a game camera?

(laughing)

With something like that,

I'd like to put a game camera up out there

and see if you could figure out what it really is.

But the first thing that crossed my mind,

because of the shape of the holes,

and the neatness around it and all that, was an armadillo.

- (Natalie) And the size.

- And the size of it.

But squirrels will do the same thing,

they're very curious and they're looking for stuff,

and they can do the same thing.

I would, if it's an armadillo,

you should have some other holes probably out in your yard.

Where they're, 'cause mostly they're looking for

grubworms and earthworms and things like that,

and so you should have other holes out in the dirt,

or out in other areas of your yard.

If it's just there in your bed--

- (Natalie) Might think something else.

- Squirrel came swingin' by and thought that,

remembered that he left a nut there last winter

or something, (laughing) and is checkin' it out.

- He's comin' by to check it out.

- But really, to answer your question, I'm not sure.

But it's probably either a squirrel or armadillo.

Q&A – What is this problem with my miniature crape myrtles? - Duration: 2:17.

"Can you tell from these pictures what the problem is

"with my three miniature Crape Myrtles?

This started happening in the last two weeks."

And this is from Eloise in Cookville.

So she has pictures there, Crape Myrtles.

Looks like to me, we definitely see a lot of honeydew.

So the first thing that jumped in my mind,

Crape Myrtle aphids, what you think?

- Yeah, and I would agree with that.

I mean, it's hard to really see any insects for certain,

but looking at the honeydew,

and the presence of insects on the leaves.

And one thing that I'm sure you'd wanna point out

is the difference between the leaves and the stem.

- Right.

- Where we're seeing

that insect feeding.

- If they were on the stems,

I'm glad you mentioned that, they're on the stems,

of course, Crape Myrtle bark scale.

Bark scale.

But these are on the leaves, which makes me think aphids.

- With a heavy presence of bark scale,

you could see some of that honeydew on lower leaves.

- (Chris) You sure could.

- But we're seeing the insects themselves.

- (Chris) Actually on the leaves.

- Yeah.

- And you see the honeydew on the top, too.

- Right.

- Right.

And it's pretty well covered there in those pictures,

so that's a problem.

- Yeah.

That looks like some pretty heavy feeding.

- Think that's a problem.

Get out the hose, you can knock 'em off

with a stream of water.

Or you can use the insecticidal soaps,

there's some oils you can use, horticulture oil,

Neem oil is something else.

- Neem, extracts from Neem,

the acid interacting type products are all--

- Those work well.

- Soft.

- And then lastly, Mr. D.?

- Systemic insecticides.

- Systemic insecticides, right, imidacloprid comes to mind,

as something that you could use for that,

do read and follow the label.

- Right.

- I think all of those could work.

- Several paths, depending on your preference.

- That's right.

- 'Cause it looked like she had several,

in that area, I think she said three miniatures.

- Yeah, looks like they're planted close together,

so a drench could be effective.

- Yeah, 'cause it can get all three of 'em.

Playerunknown's Battlegrounds - Is this cheating? - Duration: 5:43.

Oh, it's not rendered on my screen!

What is this? I don't see any buildings!

- Probably you will

You'll also see our enemies if you'll really want to

- Wow, Gideon, you're floating!

- No shit...

I'm not getting stuck on houses!

Nope, could they be gone?

Maybe they're across the road?

Oh, you can't see, there's a Dacia that you can take

That's too much right. Gideon, wait a tick, stop for a second

Stop, it's on 330, right in front of you

Probably in a garage

Ami, it's right near you, you're right there

You're really on the Dacia

- I'm surrounded by Dacias but none of them is runnable

- One of them is, the yellow one

Or green, whatever...

- There is none

- I swear there is a Dacia!

- Ok, I believe you, I just can't find it

Q&A – What is the best way to germinate and grow gingko trees? - Duration: 2:20.

"What is the best way to germinate and grow

ginko trees from seed?"

And this is from Chuck right here in Memphis.

So look Doc, he wants to grow ginkgo trees, right?

- Patient, patient folks who are interested

in growing trees from seed, and I must admit,

I'm really more of a just, graft it and give me

something a little bit larger.

- I'm all for going to the nursery and pickin' out

what you want and goin' home and transplantin' it.

- Many of the ginkgos that we buy may actually well

be grafted, 'cause for the most part we're trying

to select male trees, because of the well,

putrid, sometimes, scent of the female, with their seeds.

- Yeah, you'll definitely know if it's a female tree or not.

For sure.

- After a while.

- After a while, after a while, definitely right about that.

But, you know, I actually sat in a couple of

propagation classes with some of the gardens.

If you wanna do it by seed, of course--

- (Natalie) Certainly possible.

- It's possible.

We're talking about warm stratification,

cold stratification though.

So you'd have to of course, separate the seed

from the fruit itself.

Put the seeds in a bag with some sphagnum moss,

the sphagnum moss has to be moist, of course.

Ziploc bag, shake 'em up, room temperature,

warm stratification, right?

68, 80 degrees.

Then after a couple of weeks you put that

in the bottom of your refrigerator where you keep

your vegetables, for the most part.

There's your cold stratification.

So anywhere between, what, 30, 40 degrees?

- Yeah.

I think a normal refrigerator would normally be appropriate.

- Right, and you have to do that for weeks and weeks.

- Simulating fall and winter.

- Right, right, this is exactly what you're doing,

and from there, you know, depending on who you talk to,

or what publication you read it, like 10 to 12 weeks.

Then they germinate, you can either put 'em in

the potting soil or you can put 'em outside.

There you have it.

But again, you have to be patient with that, Mr. Chuck.

- (Natalie) It's possible.

- It's possible, patience, but it is possible.
