the real guard chickens start painting you know it's hot lived to see the mare's tails and mackerel skies above that means it's going to cool down a bit so what we have here kids it must be cheery season on these hot afternoons like a nice cold banana pop i've seen them eat he did so fascinating in the ice cream headache you can tell they get that look in their free for all you know we might get some corn by september weather hopefully we'll see more of the same i just saw the prognosis for a cooler first half of july the models  tending that way but i tell you those models also shift every week seems tomatoes just a little bit and put a little drip irrigation down took a little look at the soil spectrum and i dug around the drip emitter itself might the problem in my soil as i said it's very sandy and the whole point of the drip was supposed goes probably start spreading out eventually probably when it hits that hard pan glacial till it's about twenty four inches down below the topsoil that's a reservoir too  productive in there something that will turn a profit there in ninety days but now i'm starting to get all optimistic and stuff so we'll see what genes are taken off at the polls all most produce very well later in the season these guys are a little green project that you could you send away for some sort of half baked breeding project seeds you know this is the genetics are all there it's up to you to kind of sort mountain and select for the qualities you want big variety either see black beans flat beans brown beans round beans yellow pod green pod a lot going on in there and i guess they also have some most productive and they're looking pretty good this year at plant a whole bunch of seeds because it is kind of a breeding project i figured i weeded out about half of them have fifty percent show you know call it within the emitters go turbulent action almost never cloggs and yeah make sure you put them in the bucket in time and i i did before i put these down because you know i am about watering the tomatoes i don't like to do it  so i got a bucket out you know counted the matter who predicted what it should be and ran a test and it was amazingly accurate so these were in good condition basically what i did over there was this i started digging on the side where obviously on the surface here i'm what i'm trying to do is establish you know how far out this goes in the place start digging a little wall here to water this the conventional way with my little hand wand as i've been doing kind of build up the entire reservoir slowly i never want free water in the soil i always want that air in there typical french black spine pickling cucumber it's originally was for making the little corner seans a very small pickles so we're going to pull these out and start picking them stick them over in  so hopefully now we're going to check here pop one of these up and we should see a little more cling here that's just about right the root so looks boy stuff it's still dry up here but i don't five inch spacing basically as tight as you can cram in which has worked well for me i've gotten you know thirty court pickle years you know doing that  but i've always felt like they were a little crowded you know the center row always suffers a little bit back row suffers a little bit last year i think i went to a ten inch spacing personally thirty plants and each only thirty plants and each he passed i felt there was a with the wider spacing i can get five or six you know almost double the new i got like a third or production of the bed so i'm kind of trying to thread the needle between space and too much can in this case be post emergents they're actually ready two weeks after the planning seed if everything goes right but you know you don't want this crowden in the in the cell here you want the roots to just be filling that cell so you kind of hold the root ball together like i was just starting to spin but we're going to straighten him out right now this guy's really in a perfect place and i usually just you know kind of blow off that advantageous rooting these little white nodes on though on the stem this little no secondary root forming so we're you know put them right up to probably their right to the level of that white node there that that root out on the surface but we're going to put the native soil for that top quarter inch or so it's just seals down you know in the in the you know i've got a real sandy silty soil which  other skewer goes down here kind of lining up here and we'll work those down that way we don't need no forty eight skiers we just need sixty and one to do is actually selective you know i don't like this one so i kind of move on to a different one which is pretty amazing two weeks in the flat was at forty five days fifty days in the ground and you're already producing a good year they'll produce through september certain lewsey pollination later in the season plants are still producing a flowering but i still got a crop that comes right out of the ground unfortunately the slugs really love me i've had it you know i had a couple of years where you know drowned one round two round three you know and coming out and seeing the stumps don't finally planted you know started them indoors and got them outside you know july so i've gone with this two week system and it's working primo pickles by august brought a time you can email me if you want the real garden at yahoo dot com that's all one word lowercase you can also call me after the show to listen for the call after the tuesday evening show but you can always remain on the common question on the answering
