Friday Radio Report… | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN

It was a beautiful, cold morning with the 180 Crew at WNWS 101.5 FM this morning! Dan & Sea Bass are ‘Keepin it real’! Lori Nunnery was in the house giving the low down on what’s happening in J Town! Check out more on what’s happening in our great little town at the web site – https://jacksontn.com/tourism/

Lot of enthusiasm for the return of Spring & LOTS of gardening questions –

Can I plant trees and shrubs now? Yes!
Can I start a compost now? Yes! Use all those excessive leafs and landscape debris along with kitchen scraps like vegetable peaking, egg shells, coffee grounds, etc.
What can I do to keep my pond from freezing? Several things can help you. First a floating pond heater is a great tool! It only kicks on when temps fall below freezing and it will keep a hole open in the ice! Also – an aeration unit wil bubble up and keep the surface moving. OR you can use a small pump close to the surface to flash up and keep a hole open.
When is a good time to amend the soil in my garden? Any time now if the ground is workable.
Do I have blueberries in stock? YES! 25% off!
When can I start feeding my Koi again? It’s all about water temperature! Above 50 degrees is the magic #!

This is a true statement! I love my Koi & I’m counting the days till it’s feeding time again!

Sonic Blast of the Past question – Who played Louie Depalma in the TV series Taxi??? The winner gets a $10 gift card! John L. Called in almost immediately with the answer! Interesting fact – Danny Devito is 4’ 10” tall…

Great show! Have a great weekend!

Friday’s are always a hit with the 180’ Crew! I’m back from a short plant/nursery tour, the weather is fixing to get tricky & we are closing in on the Super Bowl! WOW! 2019 is taking off like a bullet!

On a sad note, my favorite local restaurant is closing down after 54 years in Jackson… Yes, I’m talking about Baudo’s 😢

I’ve been eating here my entire life! I asked my wife to marry me here… We come here for every Anniversary (25 & counting), and have eaten here as often as possible. I would like to thank the Baudo family for all the great food and for all the memories! You will be missed ❤️

Our great friend & 180’ Producer Sea Bass is under the weather today, so we felt a YUGE void today in the studio… Get well soon my friend!

LOTS of calls & texts today –

All this wind had covered my lawn with leaves, can I let them be OR should I mulch them? If it on established lawn – Mulch em’!
How long before nurseries start seeds for Spring? Many are starting seeds right now! Cindy Springer is!
Can I plant Crepe Myrtles now? Yes! This is a Great time to plant! Trees & shrubs. Just do it!
My sons birthday is this weekend! Happy Birthday Jacob!!! ❤️
We are facing some possible Bad Winter Weather this weekend! How are you setting on Milk & Bread 🥖???
We might see some snow and ice this weekend – You know the drill 😇

Carters Nursery is on a seasonal schedule right now- We are open Thursday & Friday 9am-4pm & Saturday 9am-2pm. IF you have an emergency we have a service technician on call to handle all calls – Call 731-424-2206 for service. Leave a message and someone will be right back with you within minutes.

– The trivia song today was Bruce Springsteen’s I’m on Fire 🔥Thanks to ‘The Blacksmith’ for today’s trivia!

The Blacksmith is a great Local Restaurant!

The Sonic “Blast from the Past” Trivia question was – What is the ‘last frost date’ for Jackson Tn according to the Farmers Almanac? – Answer – April 9th.! Yeah!!! Come on Soring!

Here’s a favorite song of mine to lead us into the weekend-

Have a great weekend!
