so cooler on may june than some of the other lower forty eight states there's plenty of time to get some cool weather stuff yes it's been ages since greens in you can do a quick crop before it's time to put your tomatoes in if you do something real quick like a door or maybe some spinach doing great everybody's back on the way getting some for a days scattered here and there with twos and threes in between their once while you get skunked but it's far and few between these girls their spring chickens chickens are spring in the spring there are photosensitive more like they get all wound up they get right now their main agenda is worms in the morning when i let him i'll get to let him out for about half an hour before i go to work row floating row cover but if it was small i would put it directly down please put some system bob sticks around over the plants so that stuff comes down if you're not hooping and so i've got a couple different things going on here and  forming specimens in the bed and these are actually mix i've got both the red and the green leaf here and it looks like i've got a white seed and a black seed variety this can mix them up my eyes drying them and what i've done here what i did last night i'm going to want spacing similar to what i've got here with seedlings you know source based out rather than planning rows i've planned little clumps of staggered seedling positions i is suppress weed seeds and they've got the same reaction so if they don't have that access to the sun they know they're too deep they'll just wait it out until they come to the surface because they're small seed and they want to be close to the surface when they sprout so what i've done here take advantage of this reaction by letting them see a little bit of sun's shining you can just leave them here and hope for the best let the rain drive them into the ground for you but once it's happened i'd like to cover him up that way when the seeds come up  know just kind of a six inch grid eight inch grooves and like that i'm trying to train myself not to overcrowd the guard i've been trying this for thirty some years i've gotten better still probably a little tight i'm trying to grow you know i'm trying to go for the bigger individuals rather than the slug infested law on micro greens moving on  transplants and so this is some let us say i had some you know mystery see on the bench that was saved from a special pot of some special lettuce and i'm not quite sure which is this might be the fragrant choi an asian green which is supposed to have a jazz mini fragrance on the seat i got it was terrible i only got a few plants so i grew the plant out in a pot save seeds that might be that  but nonetheless they did a little test because i didn't know where the seed was very good so i scattered them rather early as you can see they were doing great and crowded the bench so out they come and you know the disadvantage main thing is to pull them out as a group and you know maintain the winner they have them filled that six cell very much and they haven't intertwined very much they're still individual plants so this is the advantage you don't have to dig a very big hole which is nice when your soil is a little little wet on this bed didn't get dried out all the way so continue that pattern here i'm just doing a nice straight down home just to see those roots padam in and make sure you close the gap there and then you can just you know do whatever you need to do to stand them up if you need a little more soil just drag it in from the side and it's good it's going to go plant these stagger rows in the i'll just pull them apart later that will go nice individual route and the like i said we're at such an early stage there's not much room to break if you can see i'm kind of holding it by the this one which don't forget to grab the winner is try to keep them clean and keep the dirt out of that growth tip you can make minor position changes by tapping if you want just a little bit to one side and we are smooth now and then this bed is plenty wet as i said i worked a little early so i don't want to saturate this too much i also don't want  to you know if i even with the you know fine bedding plants nozzle at this point if i hit him with a hose of any sort so it's going to plaster him to the ground plays out here and at twilight with the mr and all we're going to do is you don't have to do forty acres and the dry topsoil also helps with the floods which we deal with so here they are there you know it's twilight you just planted you know you know spent an hour planning twenty of these things and you can actually see the little black european slugs crawling around the freshly dug soil already looking for new prey so the first day you do is they go around with wait till twilight  out with a flashlight you know and i light him up with these slug fills this is just the clear ammonia either a quarter or a third two thirds water depending on i usually keep it for the small ones keep it a quarter for the really big ones the third when it gets up to a third ammonia be careful of you're not burning the plants some plants are more sensitive than others but you can kind of spray you know like when obviously with the seeds he just goes straight necessary and you know it's just kind of like in between the plants a little bit kind of jetting and then of course a little perimeter action and then you know that's going to gas off in you know few hours perhaps population so next they come in with the iron phosphate slug pellets and this is a little bit stable bait with one percent iron phosphate perfectly harmless in fact iron phosphate things plants  and i've been using just bits of this like that you know like one per plant because it's expensive you know it's ten bucks for a pound and a half of this stuff and you only need it's it's better to put a few out every guys get past the bite size stage you know it becomes less of a problem so moving down we've got a little extra bedroom down here good bed room bedroom we're going to just put a couple of these here in this corner they can be overbearing but if you i'm just looking for a couple plants there on the do tiny little seed the small brown brown plant this many right here and hope for you know one plant come up
