Today was a LIVE remote from Southland Power Sports & Outdoor Equipment. One word – NICE!
We did a LIVE remote from Southland power Sports today. What a NICE place! LOTS of inventory and a GREAT sales & service dept. If you haven’t been by the Jackson, TN location, check them out – 2155 N Highland Ave, Jackson, TN 38305
The tone was light and fun and we got LOTS of feedback and several questions. I would say the biggie was about Crepe Myrtle Bark Scale…
The crape myrtle bark scale is an invasive insect species from Asia. They secrete honeydew, which subsequently results in sooty mold along the branches, trunk and leaves. Crape myrtle bark scale is VERY unsightly, but may or may not be fatal for plants.
Here’s a paper from UT –
- We also talked about the possibility of frost on Monday morning, so be aware and take the appropriate measures.
- The weather has dried a bit and it’s time to amend and till those gardens and new planting beds. (Check on a new tiller at Southland Power Sports – they have some NICE ones!
- PLANTS, PLANTS & MORE PLANTS are in at Carters Nursery! Including Aquatic plants! So come by and see us 🙂
I had a LOT of fun with the 180 Crew today and I hope you did too 🙂
Have a GREAT weekend! and… Happy Pondering!

GREAT Show today with Dan Reaves & Sea Bass – The 180 Crew!
LOTS of comments today on the sheer amount of rainfall we have had this year… Over 20″ so far and we are just kicking off March! The rivers are mostly all at flood stage & they even called school out yesterday because of local flooding. BUT, just walk outside today and breath in some fresh air, look up into that bluebird sky and the feeling of Spring takes you. Blue sky’s have prevailed! 🙂 What a gorgeous start to what looks to be a ‘Perfect Weekend’!

What happened on the show today? We had several calls and a TON of texts! We couldn’t get to all of them, but here are a few highlights –
- Our own Sea Bass is going to try his hand at growing some peaches! He is going to plant some China Pearl peaches because they are his favorite! We will keep you posted …
- We had some interest in getting a Gas Fire Pit with a “Cowboy Cooker” – that’s a removable grilling, cooking accessory that you can add to a Fire Pit. We do install these and I hope the caller comes by and that I can help him further.
- We talked about using Juniper as a groundcover on a sunny hillside that’s hard to mow.
And mainly that this is a great time to get out and catch up on gardening chores – trimming and pruning, weeding, aerating & overseeding lawn grass, fertilizing, mulching, spraying Dormant Oil, applying pre-emergent herbicides to your lawn and flower beds, etc…

Spring is almost here and the Spring rains have started. So have the mosquitoes & the frogs (peepers) singing from the woods, the daffodils are up and starting to bloom & everyone is READY for Spring! I had loaded call lines for the entire hour and many great questions! We had several questions on the text line too – Thanks for all the interest!
Here are a couple of questions I thought I would post and answer from today’s show –
- Lots of questions about trimming and pruning. Can I trim this or that? YES – its a great time to get out there and trim and prune your – Crepe Myrtles, fruit trees, ornamental trees & shade trees too, roses, shrubs, etc. Rake up real good after your trimming and pruning and touch up the mulch.
- ALSO – apply Dormant Oil now. Make sure its not a day where temps will drop below freezing. Always follow label instructions.
- More question on Crepe Myrtle Bark Scale – here’s a link to a page from UT about this new scale attacking our Crepe Myrtles – https://extension.tennessee.edu/madison/Documents/CMBS%20County%20Publication.pdf
- Questions about Koi Pond Maintenance – Can I clean out my Koi Pond? YES – it’s time to get started doing your yearly pond clean out. There are some other posts on my blog about this that will help you out – a to do list, things to have on hand etc. It’s Time 🙂
- When will it stop raining? GREAT question… Soon, I hope 🙂
- And the trivia question today was – What was Johnny Appleseed’s real name??? Any guesses? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? – Jonathan Chapman was his real name! John Chapman, called Johnny Appleseed, was an American pioneer nurseryman who introduced apple trees to large parts of Pennsylvania, Ontario, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, as well as the northern counties of present-day West Virginia. Born – September 26, 1774 Died – March 18, 1845
