you're parking your car. don't park right underneath the tree, you're asking for it. >> i like plants with bright fragrant flowers, you say their pollen is different than the tree pollen. >> that's right. it's heavier pollen it falls to the ground. you want things that are pretty. doesn't make a difference if it's roses or daisies but you want that to be a showy flower. >> the more flowers, the better. it doesn't really matter. >> that's right. that's right. make it nice. >> okay. >> be wear of the bees. >> bees and yellow jackets and all those stinging insects. it's where you're going to be stung the most in the garden. 3% of the adult population has actually the life threatening form of this allergy and it's not just good enough to walk around with an epipen. if you've got this problem come see an allergyist. there's therapy that can save your life. >> what about mulch? it smells and
