i tried to get all of it but as you can see i now your job i broke off a little bit but you can see it's just a big person to be kind of rude and that's what we were told this winter to make her build a name two hundred eighty day crop if you want the big cheese comes it's kind of like artichokes i love artichokes i love growing artichokes but i don't really have the room for too many they did take a break and they all took it together so i got a as zero day but i know they like playing for three four eight days in a row and a couple three is and then they all took a break active the more they're just constantly foraging for more protein worms fugs slugs they will not touch a worm or a slug in the winter when they're not like come spring and they know what they need that waste shell in the dish keep those shells strong now's the time is this week's been warm it's the sixty's yesterday were in the seventy's today i believe if i had known that i would have gotten the tomatoes in two weeks early we lost a few of slugs bugs chickens and but for the most part looks like a nice oak leaf lettuce coming from a little mystery seed from the bench i like  you know if you can pull this off feel it's kind of like tepid bath water and you know it's not red hot or anything it's a boiling but it's you know seventy eighty degrees and that's going to radiate out during the night heat exchange so this part of you know the sun starting to go down i've got everything locked down you know this is just single pane greenhouse doesn't have much heat advantage but it does tried to put out during the grafting process of dr dub triple the way if they haven't done that by now go ahead and get some tweezers pull those off because he has a nice stocky plant that's for him the lights right down on top of them during the entire growth cycle a little more in all those hairs will turn into roots as a grafted you really want to keep it at the same level don't let that grafting scar getting where near the ground danger there is  today are the peppers on these i pod these up last week you know we're in six cells and they potted him up into the you know other pots because they usually don't put these out till now last year was nice of put them out probably mid may third we can maybe there are years when i'll wait till june it's all about soil temperature with these guys and you really want sixty degrees over night soil temperature  dropping below sixty otherwise they'll pout you can put them out earlier anything over fifty five perhaps that they will yellow up and look at you funny and they just wrote you harvest in time for the frosts and we're just doing whatever we can i do have a couple out here of the cold experiment so these i potted up at the same times these same peppers you know basically and and i just put them out that night and put them out of the greenhouse no prep no hardening off no special treatment and i'm not seen where they are  smaller or you know you know more stressed than these others so you know they certainly like the light i worry about the cold at night and i also worry about the heat  in the daytime these pots do absorb heat and take in the soil temperatures you know it can hit eighty ninety you know these are chili peppers they can take that that's getting up in the kill zone so there is a little bit of stress particularly right after transplant keep moonlight bench for a few days anyway and then you know i'm tempted to leave here especially if we're getting good weather but i have generally i keep them indoors yearly warning when in doubt then you know if you don't know what the weather's going to do didn't know because few hours that one hundred twenty degrees and here can really affect plants now the peppers kind of like particularly bad and what i'm doing here is you know i always like stand them up if i can you know when they get flopped over you know ninety degree bend this is really hard for him to pick up you know they will revive will suck up the moisture of the it'll come alive a little bit but it's hard for him straighten up from there so i'm trying a different technique here i just hung them upside down and kind of untangle them a little bit a floppy fly out of tomatoes let's talk about what's happening actually with drought stress and when plants fail like i always used to think it was just like you know the water runs out here you know the str runs dry and you know the plants out of water flows over them that's kind of what happened particularly today when they got to the point where they are out of water here now they're in real trouble and that's when you start killing plants but just the plants you know fainting or are wilting a little bit mid day to your in summary oh cucumber squash do it right you know just normally and you know they've got plenty of water around the roots and yet they're doing this fainting thing what's happening is the plant knows that it's hot capillary action you know if you if you close the one end of the straw that that liquid doesn't draw anymore and so what happens is the pressure drops the target pressure they call it in the plant drops and that's when you find those those leaves of what's going on there and i will say to miles it's supposed to be real sunny to these are the first first day out for these guys and i want to have a heart attack you know so i'll probably be picking up a little shade cloth actually for their fungus like disease and in the bad year i had one year were i actually got the bright orange puss jewels you know it looks sort of like little fluffy boring spots on the thing and that's the  body you know spreading it to everything else that really affected the outcome that year because the leaves start getting the crisis and start buying a bag doesn't have the ability to make food anymore this point you know on lately a good thing to do is put them on when you're looking at your garden and i was looking for this rust and i thought i saw maybe a little spot or something and i put my glasses on didn't see any rust by saw something else  hard kind of hard to count legs but looked rather insect like you know it had two prominent and it was moving a little fast for now it could have been a predatory might but it didn't look like one of those and it was a thing that moves fast generally is a good thing predatory thing a thing that's slow and sucking you know is the bad thing so i'm kind of taking a wait and see approach with this because there were also little tiny white dots were even smaller than these tiny little things and one of them stopped by that and it was kind of like it looked like it was mouth so i'm hoping that it's a predatory thing that's eating these e you know that there's got to two things you're putting in the soil one so you know compost skill building stuff the others fertilizer and kind of the difference would be the sure give away a smell is what the plant uses basically it's the most bailable form of nitrogen the plant picks up also the most volatile most easy to lose either through the air or through gets your plants every year you know no matter what you do once a spore start swimming around you're done for but what you can do is not call the population back to get a jump on the season kind of be ahead of the game the whole time and then when whatever kills your tomato plants you already have courts of tomato in the in the cupboard and you won't care and so now you can see the little old white plant those there rapid
