rosie's aggression is born from her insecurity you say she's a worrier you can see it in her eyes stone left got those bedroom eyes she's not worried  ground mother's day is the traditional in the ground day around here we're going to plan a couple days early here where there's been cooperating looking at the plants i would say they were absolutely perfect for transplant about four days ago and they're just showing a little bloom both plants but it's actually better for the show to show you what to do with a for those of you who have someplace to go and can see the end of the show pick that bloom off that's what we're going to do and she's got bigger feet because of that you know to support her weight and be good girl get me to i've been doing what they do is because of the wider webs and the more flesh on the feet  she picks up rocks mina webbing so i've been doing and even the mud you cakes in there to the point where it's just like a rock and see she had quite a bit of material in there and what happens is it the the webbing will actually start growing into things like rocks or cherry pits is another thing they get under the cherry tree here and that you know the other birds don't get it because we've got the skinny little layers feet you know there's a lighter breed he's got skinny little feet and less weight you know pushing down and rosie has been kind enough to allow me to do that on a daily basis doesn't even seem to mind too much so our theory is that she's cranky because she's got things on her feet and maybe when i pull the thing out so anyway is going to keep her feet critter the late great miss kitty you know heavy breed my first birthday i didn't keep an eye on that and she her feet were pretty deformed at the end you know all chickens you can tell the chickens age pretty much by you know this is a two year bird so those knuckles are starting to fill out a little bit and as they grow those feet from years of digging in the ground those feet take a beating him oh they'll get bigger  know just all our feet swell as we grow older gravity works as a keep an eye on your chickens speak they're important to the birds obviously transport forging things all like martha stewart ties over here for you know your view television viewing pleasure everything's set up and ready to go this is it day we've been waiting for we've planted some seeds to set seeds group disease resistance group stock and heirloom science stock back in march march tenth fourteenth somewhere in there and here we are two months later with a couple real good specimens little cooler but i know that plastic directly under it you're reaching one hundred twenty one hundred thirty degrees six inches down you're still hidden temperatures of one hundred maybe one hundred fifty so it kind of chases some of those fun guy and  break down thanks partially come close of chicken manure in here that still need to be broken down i started this up last night and it looks really good things were breaking down very quickly so what's to put a big cage about thirty inches diameter around each of our plants here and so i've got two zones i've got inside the cage and outside the cage outside of the cage got a real good dose of fertilizer smell you want to get it under the soil to preserve that ammonium which is a form of nitrogen with a plant that can convert something plants can use we've got fertilizer dug in around there inside the cage i keep it sort of a bony mineral environment i keep the beds very dry during the summer much drier than i water maybe once in june maybe twice in july maybe once or twice in august and then they're done  so it's a different kind of environment going on inside the cage never gets watered after the first couple weeks so i'll keep these plants water because they've got a limited root system after that no water in the cage we're going to put it but this is so this gets rather  starved you know the soil inside these cages i grew up in growing here for a few years in a row gets very desiccated very worn out it's just kind of how i want it but you don't want too much of a good thing now this  this is great for putting carbon in the soil which is real importance when the things you need good stable carbon you know this is compost that is broken down all the way and i've also got some worm composting here that's where the egg shells came from i used to put extra channels and the worms so this has a shelf calcium and a lot of good till the stuff just to build the soil provide a good on you know micro flora and fauna environment you've got some really good beneficial soil bacteria there probably gone into a sort of dormant  this right around the plant micro minerals you know to suffer is broken down to its final elements some of this stuff is stuff i've had in the basement for you know it's my pet compost copyright laws of thrones back hundreds of years are willing victim he was grafted on for ten and now he's just exactly the right size transplant my stocky plant he's been you know under the lights plenty of light not too much nitrogen all tomato plants assume basically the same form you know you've got these little leaf nodes where the branches will come from  one two three one two three four five six main branches we do have an extra one down here but he hardly counts sometimes we have a little straggler like that but the basic form is six branches and then the split  is doing exactly what he's supposed to be doing later on when we're proving deciding what stays and goes on this the printing technique i use it's described as  you let each of these branches grow out into two they'll split and then on each of the splits the fork at the top you but those grow out three main leaders this is out of the how to grow you know world record tomatoes going to swirl record tomatoes now that guy was down in missouri he's growing you know long warm season he's grown on these thirty six with towers and whatnot and i usually keep mine below you know sixteen fourteen leaders but that's the basic idea you know you know this guy's going to be weak so we're going to get rid of him and we can start doing that right now we're going to a well prepared and tell this plant what we want to do get the tweezers out because this is to be kind of some micro stuff here put your glasses on if you need and so right down here at each node you're going to get a little sucker people call them sort of a derogatory term i think we're going to call that a secondary leader one which usually the bottom one gets has kind of a spindly little arm and doesn't fruit well so we're going to get rid of that get rid of all traces of it  so we're going to keep the next ones one two three four five six and these guys are going to split right up the split and let's put it on the table here so i can s it's going to two thing that's going to put out the leaf nodes such as these and then in between those it'll put out a blooming structure so we want a lot of those but not right now these are old in and you can let these grow out a little you know if you're worried about them it is kind of get those blooms off and being cautious because i'm right on top of these ethical mary stems i don't want to disturb so i got the majority of that off i can let it grow out a little more but this plant's goal isn't to grow nine feet tall and produce one hundred pounds it's made us this plants goal is to produce one it's packed full of seeds all its energy put into it and you know guarantee put some in the bank to guarantee reproduction for next year now once it's accomplished that  know it's got the right conditions and maybe it will you know there's an advantage to producing more fruit it will start to grow a little more you know use up the resources produce that you know fifty hundred pounds of fruit but chicory like if it stays in a pot like this it says ok this is all the space i'm going to get i've got the conditions right now to produce one good fruit that's what i'm going to do and if you let that through that bloom turn into a little fruit which it will these are self pollinating generally and it will produce a little fruit that's probably all that plant's going to want to do that yearly they start stunt and you can get it off and you know kind of shift gears on them but you do what you want right now to be putting on some growth you know split so it's east west some plants kind of facing south to put a little elk on there too it's my this looks sort of like the court of groove but it's got a black shoulder on it sort of like the black prince so i also noticed i got a couple table leafed seedlings though so it might have a little  brandywine around here and you won't be careful poll most stuff out because obviously we've got the grass scar right here so you don't want to be you know grabbing this from the top and yanking on it so basically i'm going to try to grab it from this good tease them up a little bit just because you know tomatoes kind of love it to be teased a little bit just know it's going to have a little more room but this isn't terribly pot bound you know it's just starting to find the edge of the pot those roots spread out a little bit now you want to be real careful that you're got that graph scar above the ground i'd rather see a little hill you know a little you know it's rather see the top of this actually out of the ground and have that but i remembered i don't like it's made only as touching plastically get a i don't know i think there you get a little moisture between the plastic and the leaf and it starts to get unhealthy so i've cut these little paper collars i told you i'm martha one of the time ok i would recommend putting cajun first if you don't have to show people which how to think the whole about thirty inches around center everything up you can make adjustments later be careful stick instant stuff in the ground though once the plants do extend their roots out beyond
