real garden or maybe my paper chicken her ok let's come down and give everybody some r we're behind on some stuff but we're way ahead on other stuff you have a lot more cool weather stuff in the ground this time of year i usually have a dilemma come june of having no cabbages that still need finishing about the time i want to rotate in those warm weather crops like corn or tomatoes peppers this year everything's been pretty fallow how much has been digging beds here doing all she composting k yeah i'm ready so we're going to have a big you know two three go here next week or so i guess you know everything germinates better in the warmer weather anyway just falls into the next year in the next year and the next year the girls been laying up a storm four out of four and three and for eight days all week it's getting a little bigger this time of year i've never seen a chicken mult only her eyebrows before power to y me going down to the lab today and doing the tomato grafting don't turn your back on those things because all the sudden after having kind of had a slow start also all my tomatoes are big you've got to you've got to catch him at a certain stage or the grafting window is pretty short so you're going to see some real live action do a couple on the show and never expect those to work with people watching a one year two they did on the show are about the only thing i got so go figure garden and in your head got the first shot of fertilizer on the garlic this week it looks a little perkier a double dose of fish emulsion mixed up four  and i actually had to water the dirty water the soil this week i had to water some pieces as well which is very unusual this time of year but as you can see this you know the chickens raked all this out and then i dug and it's already started i mean you get down here is about perfect work it's darker that's a great planting consistency it's still moist but it won't pack stays fry a bowl it's beautiful thing but work so i'm going to go ahead and cut some open put them on these beds and try to maintain that perfect moisture level while i wait around flax plastic if you've got good contact with the soil and actually raise the temperature a couple degrees if you've got a little looser than it actually shade soil and then if you really want to solar ised the soil use a clear plastic so that the dark soil absorbs the sun the clear plastic holds in the heat and you can back in early march so all temperatures of you know forty five degrees took a couple weeks form to even the merge in just one week here in the big one up here something like this is all more typical so a couple days from emergence in just a week as you can see it didn't take them long to get up and go and we're into growing season now so we'll be seeing those in just a couple days and that includes i went away for the weekend after we filmed the show stick this guy back in carefully with the root move right location and you know i we had gotten a little bit of rain and i thought that was fine i thought we'd get a little more and we didn't and i came back you know checked monday so three days later and these pieces were completely unscripted and very dry soil find their support it's good to do the center one first all the way because obviously with an eight foot i actually have to go a step ladder of string the top of this and you can reach over the outsides to get t inside so starting with all of the inside one first and then you can do the other side stages let me swing you stay with there and also and right now it's going to show you what i'm doing with the trellis my annual you roll around you know you can do it in stages just do a simple not risk life and wrap you know the same way every time so once around the pole we'll be you know clearing a six inch gap per day at that point so you know the spaces get a little further out so i climb on the one return and then i go level six see it's not just zigzag you climb on one side and then i go level on the other that way at each interval there's a consistent line with plants fall off and do get the strings up quite nicely now this is a you know the system twine it will you know you can see last nights are already getting a little saggy so in the end they go over the top with two strings and then you know do little half hitches here here here all the way down so it's got some vertical support in the later days months these will get three feet tall a very tall variety the you know you can tell this is kind of a enough of the right diameters to match up on which through important so that's the bulk train well that's going to put those aside right now is being gone for i don't know four or five weeks the root stock we're looking at but i've got some nice ones that are right about the right states and we're going to plant some up first thing i'd love to do and actually don't pot these up into a more buckets of compost down here they're like pets you know we've been together a long time you know i've known them you know known this compost for you know six seven years keep the moisture content this is completely  stable humus carbon white fluffy won't pack even perfect moisture content really good stuff and even sure what this started as but this is what it should look like when you're really done it's not black it's which would suggest too high of temp compost i'm sure and hydrogen sulfide this is just a nice dark brown we're going to  introduce the plants to a little of this stuff which should be full of this minerals that are available in a plant available form and this is kind of one just kind of winning this mix and a little bit of bit for lights as closed cell volcanic puffed rock so it's good for it doesn't hold a lot of moisture in the spaces between it holding air is really important for healthy roots right from home and a good mix enough for quite a few of these little pots if you're going to try this at home i suggest having at least you know ten fifteen twenty thirty plants to play with scoped my first victim those tags in place together we're not planning this extra deep or anything but we will plan it just a little deeper because all the old try combs little hairs on the tomato stem actually turn into advantages roots the old new roots to do is we're going to take this off with an angel i've done them flat i was for a while i was actually convinced that what provided the better contact with the angle cut kind of gives you know sort of a one way key effect so we're you know i usually take a fairly shallow angle a lot of the online stuff says about you know up to a sixty degree angle the plant tends to want to slide off in my opinion at that point so i take maybe a thirty degree and we're going to pick another plant in a very scope going out over here we're going to do this guy we're going to match the angle and we're going to try to pick some diameter on this you know that matches these two plants look fairly similar so i'm going to give it a try on these two ok so you know you want to work fairly quickly one start making the cuts because you know the patients do that's where the diameters me holes this particular one i think i can use the smaller one the stone at this point i'm going to get that started and push the other one down you know and the nice thing bottom green at the top and then right in this is known somewhere the kind of you know purple turning into green and that's kind of the zone you want you don't want you want to avoid the base here you don't want to get too got it you know thermal device you know it's come up about eight degrees since i started it up inside we have a what's known as a heat bomb it's an aquarium heater you know you know i've got it in my early meyer flask you can use a pickle jar or whatever just make sure that you know these heaters are designed to be submerged otherwise they'll you know burn out so make sure th temperature so we'll go ahead and put this guy in we're also going to missed him and you know keep this you know thinks fog not rain so we're going to keep a nice humid environment in there bring that up to about eighty eighty five degrees and hold it there but i'm looking at my time on the right in and it looks like we're going to be in there for
