season here and it's actually a transitional crop into fall plants and snap peas a little experiment with the back of the the problem with breaking up the conflicts there is so soon as i'm out of the yard here in rows he's going to come on twice as strong when i'm not watching so you gotta let him figure it out for themselves the bigger ones was leaning over and now that the others are catching up i realize it wasn't watching it was reaching as you can see a certain pattern has developed among the corn plants they all seem to be leaning a bit to the  i think i and he also has noticed a pretty good progression of the size of the plants you know goods you know medium son less as we reach the shady corners so i knew this bed was sort of a stretch for the corn a sun loving warm loving crop but that's how the rotation went so i guess i need to get out that tree or a corn in there last year for the few that find that occasionally you'll see one that has a hard meet a soft tendency toward twining i've chosen one you know it had a bend in it look like it one of the lean up against some things i pull velcro on there it still doesn't really want to twine so this really isn't turning into much of a colby in fact i think the one that is probably crawling second grow out it's doing really well if it's bred to be early and it's what feeling that promise that shot right up the trellis it doesn't get as tall as the kentucky wonders but it produces heavily it from the bottom of the vine up and  about you know a tall and be done by the time these guys are setting almost so we've got kind of nice selection of beans you know real early one and a little later one for lifing kentucky wonder and back so obvious seed saving goes kentucky wonders will top these polls these eighteen twenty foot poles and these guys reach the top last year and they've actually caught up with the early variety they had sort of a slow start but they're feeling some of these us the middle number on the fertilizer package and what happens is the nitrogen is used up by the plants leeches out gases off nitrogen is very volatile and kind of goes away gets used  up a lot more in the phosphorous which is fairly stable in the soil it's got a tendency to bind to metals on the acid ph scale and calcium on the alkaline side scale that's why you always want your garden at six point eight ph it's because that's when phosphorous is most available to the plants it's released from the other elements but the phosphorus builds up after a number of years of chicken manure where you know i'm calculating for nitrogen you know and i m getting about phosphorus build up so i think what happened was that these guys had a real good dose of phosphorus which the soil tests pretty well for anyway the native soil and so they are blooming prolifically and you know they're they're putting out a lot of branches they're just you know this close together so what i did was i got a nice new jug of fish emulsion you know the stinky fish stuff and mixed up a organic fertilizer so it does take a little bit to break down but very quickly and within a week i started seeing the effects of everything greened up a little the peppers are starting to look a little along gaited now so i think you know just keep an eye on it and if if things look a little slower especially if you start seeing yellowing in the new gro you know after a day or so you know as is it becomes the leaves down here especially it's over all yellowing you might have a nitrogen deficiency you've got intervening yellowing where the veins  owners here in seattle and if that's what you're using fertilizer watch out for that imbalance of strength think of ways that let's say you really had overdone it and start to think of ways where you might be able to correct the situation and the one thing i can think of is probably line if you could bring the ph up a little you know bring it up to neutral it safe to seven or with a lot of calcium in the soil which is what the lime stone is you might be able when you plant one seed you get multiple seedlings and it's it's as if they smell each other and and rather than compete you know so they know if they're closely clustered rather than compete they seem to cooperate with each other it's like all right we'll all just grow here in a group is little red worms in the ground you know rather than big bulbous beats and it seems like the sooner you get them out the better they grow so i want final position but these i'm going to make the picks here pretty soon to go one two three four five six seven beats seven in a row and we're going to groan big news he these will grow very well into the fall and finish them up with a few light frosts keep killing them up last week i think it was we had sore floppy beads have grown very well since then and what i mean you know the the soil choked him up to right to that the base of the leaves probably added you know a quarter to a half inch of soil actually because some of them are really standing up and they you know within the next week you know they get back on top of that and they're they're growing very well they look great love water you know i'm always harping about don't overwater the tomatoes well these guys love water go ahead and sock it to h rm so you know as you go through here and it's going to be a little tedious here you're good see you know the the strong one growing next to the weak one you're going to know and get these out and when it's really crowded don't worry about it just like get fifty percent of them out and start any amount so we're going to shoot for let's say half an inch apart from now leave enough that there they that's not burrowing down like a carrot should that it's got to go and basically you just go in and murder you know half of these otherwise you're you know you're just not going to get carrots and don't wait too long because if you wait too long the damage is kind of already done they've got this idea you know the signals have been sent if you don't like the careful believe me after twenty minutes of this i've become much less selective but the thing is you know you're in the guard you know in a garden with you know what  make them good make them good no wasted space you know so obviously i'll be working at that for a while because my eyes are doing good today i didn't have my glasses on that's probably i guess that's how many i've got in here but i went with you know i tried boxes and steaks and no matter what i did they seem to crawl out over each other they really love to be this way and for selection purposes i keep them this way when i did was i went to more rigid box like structure on the way up you know they've got more rigid here and then rigid which i realize doesn't do much i should have them up here and then when i ran out of wooden patiently i started just a clothesline in here so i've got a little dividers in between each plant so you see every branch on this side of that plant every branch on this si this plant and when i've got a little spare and i'm wrapping this around kind of come up random i've got a sparrow i'll twist it through and like divide the plant as you can see the tomatillos have a pretty specific growth pattern  the forks here and those are kind of those the two major points of growth after that so if you can put a wire or something through that at that point it will really support him because these are very lush little windstorm rain storm can come in and just you know wrecked havoc because they you know they haven't had that stimulation from wind and you know getting rustled around that'll actually toughen them up the lignin start forming in the wood in the stem and have that old growth they get a little stronger whereas when they haven't been tested at all they have no stimulation to toughen themselves like that if they  a daily job at this point keeping the suckers off the tops of managing the shape of the plants keeping these monster arms from bending back and falling over spend a lot of time with the belt grow faster if they get to this point i'm using a lot of longer fasteners just because it is good to keep you know i'm using i get more space on this might come over here you know i just noticed this guy started archway from the thing that's getting a little out of control there's two things i can do think you can either put another velcro i think think  probably will this point these are the stuff comes on a roll and you can cut it's whatever length you want and it's reusable i bought a bunch of you know three or four rolls on sale at the end of season don't cut the plant use the fuzzy side on the plant and make sure you've got a little overlap there so i was watching the bees on these guys the bumble bees are really the only thing that can this that are kind of close to you can see that little cone and then the pollen producers are in there there's a little gap the top and i was watching the bumblebee and there's a little big long tongues out half their body length when there is fully extended so you'd they do is you know this is upside down in the bumblebee specialty is buzz pollination so they're needed for tomato and blueberry pollination because what they do is they use that big fuzzy body of theirs hanging upside down and they'll they'll actually buzz and vibrate and actually shake the pollen out of this fuse dancer and then they'll take their tongue for the nectar sucker and you can see it kind of starts petering out a little bit at the top so i'm kind of keeping that under control to when i get to the top i basically let this get to the top of the cage it's a nine foot cage and it'll be about mid shoulder on it from the black prince i got writing about the third week in august last year produced through september and by the time plants it's got a real good season on it it seems to know that there is winter coming high track the maxi for one year and it just had no concept of you know four seasons it just kept growing and growing the fruit and ripe and well so when
