racing into june here rules are enjoying their evening scraps the greens keeps their performance up you have been performing specially that one she lays to most americans are  funny so anyway post memorial day show it's a week after memorial day so it seems like we just filmed film a show go away for a long weekend come back it was as you know pretty pretty spotty weather to be put in peppers out of prison like warm soil warm temperatures they are prone to sulking if they don't have what they need but the same time they were in a two and a half inch pot which they were rapidly outgrowing they looked perfect there in the greenhouse and what a plant looks perfect that needs is about to go downhill but better it's peak and it's his position and if it's in a pot you want to get it in the ground so i took a little pretty wide berth if i was watching just the lesson hasn't taken legal yet her darling guild is the other one that's kind of been friendly when they meet up with a partner went through and thinned again and espoused time to see him again you know any time they start overlapping like this you know it's time to pull out another one here we've got a nice big  pretty good specimen in here says go ahead breaks your heart doesn't especially when that one looks a little bit better than the one i left but once you open  up now that's a strong one but as soon as he gets a little room you'll start to take over now we're you know there will be overlapping in the end they both fill the space but we're going to let them get so  that's not what we're really growing it for we're growing up for the roots now these young leaves like this are tender and not too bitter so you can you know the thinnings can go in the salad but at the end of the season we're going to kind of twist stock that all the green stuff want it's going to do is it's going to this is a build and then dive in miniature and says exactly what we're going to grow and i will twist off all the stuff down to the that sort of small and young it's not like a storage cabbage that's really tight so will be looking probably midseason for those last week i said these pieces were just about bloom and sure enough one week later about a foot more heights and we're starting to see the blooms emerge these are you can see just that little glimpse of fuchsia in there these are the breeding projects they've got a nice purple bloom and there is one open here so they've got service nice maroon and fuchsia and then once they're pollinated this will turn a deep indigo blue and blue will shrivel and then you'll start see that purple and green variegated pea pod coming out so this is good this is a good thing because i think i might need this bed for q cumbers and rotation i've got to get cucumbers in by july fourth as my nests so let's take a look at the warm weather crops that i forced in its place last week week before june that's that's a record for me i've can go to the website of the real garden way over there in the right hand tabs you know for more detailed instructions but basically you've got your your boat in sale you know the  lso brings that soil temperature up with a clear plastic it can access that will solar collector that dark soil underneath and the so clear plastic lets the sun through soil collects the heat and then the plastic holds  and we're hitting pretty high temps right now are reading about seventy five degrees soil temperature in the fruit so which is phenomenal really the soil temperatures more important than the air temperature with peppers i think certainly they like the the warm air as well but really it's those night time soil temperatures that are the difference between them salting and turning yellow and almost devolving before you very eyes and actively growing you can see a little yellowing that's typical of cold weather reaction they also might need a little nitrogen i did not fertilize when  drawn right on the plastic and then took a razor blade and did a little x marks the spot folded these back and planted right through these are the goldfish hybrid varieties i've been more k'naan broad shoulder long wrinkly almost scum between a new mexican shape and a portugal and it's bright orange medium hot sort of a lemony fruity undertone something i've been working on for a few years and they're starting to stabilize a little bit i still see a lot of variation i had a couple revert back to red last year but for the most part it's starting to calm down a little bit i do have a sprinkled some i know i've had this holmes ten years i think only had to replace one or two sticks on it just to buy two lumber stumps and strong ties on the corners and then the plastic the start front slit through those three positions to get to the back do that on each row and then i can just pull the whole sheet off and use it again next year so i'll try to assuage my conscience because that knowledge of the top fork is starting to fork a pulled off a couple of the suckers from the bought i'll let a couple of the a lot about four of the strong ones go ahead and grow and split once then and we'll go from there but for now plants looking good i do reach in there i check on this like every third day does the morning that i just make sure that he's leaves you know if they're if they're starting to get over that wire i go ahead and help them make sure the plants kind of filling the space the way i wanted to and you will i will reiterate my arid extra dry watering technique  and i did give a sprinkle out here and as you can see you know under the mulch outside the cage it is there is more easter available but that's pretty pretty crumbly soil still that's why the fungus and all this stuff and so for any kind of free water in the soil is what they love so over watering really not good for your tomatoes i've gone drier drier drier drier each year and they seem to grow better beautiful little magenta blossoms these guys spent the winter outside in the greenhouse so that that winter cold spells you know they go into the door and it's so you get a little cold set that's really what makes you cacti bloom real good lengths this also put out a few blooms as you can see sincere in the blue in the greenhouse without me b s i went ahead and took a paint brush and tried to pollinate the best i could i i'm little more seed and continue the variety i think these guys also what we have here at but at the  ten hours growth from when i left work this morning till filming these were below the soil just maybe a little crack showing and this is one day's work warm now these guys are shedding the seed very nicely and if they don't show their seed coat and it's not the end of the world next time plan i'm a little deeper tends to help your poll that shell off as they go and ready in two weeks from planting squash a little bigger seedling that say especially in a big pot like this will say two weeks from emergence or when they've got when they're just starting their we kind of wanted to hurry these up because you know they don't need to be down here that i want to get them out of the ground again soil temperature with sweet corn is very important that's why i'm starting them indoors  didn't really want to chance it outside this will give them you know the heat units that they are looking for just a good start is the sweet corn seed as is prone to rotting in the ground if you're under sixty degrees  so oil temperature so when i had got these they were on a heat mat with lights for above the surge emerge within three days with the right conditions and now they're just about a week old and at this point i think inevitably end up with you know something this tall something this short something in between something very short and you can see you know i've got you know i've got the tallest things at the bottom the lights have to be raised to compensate for that and then the sort of stuff you know put stuff on a pot like that you know get it because you want these lights to be right down on the plants so it always ends up those and have them at the ready and then this will you know evolve for a while until finally you've got nothing at the base and everything like this and that's when it's time to pull it all off and do everything lower the lights were out of time you can email me if you want the real garden at yahoo dot com that's one word in lowercase you can also call me after the show i listen for the phone after tuesday evening show but you can always leave a
