girls been laid up a storm so let's see what we've been up to this week proceed lines are showing a little issue that's pretty common probably take a look at those street plants cabbage today it's time kitty continues to be isolated during the days while i'm at work because the girls are picking on her but that's a bad bad thing i'm trying to grow some new tail feathers but i see some nice pins them in breaks been pretty good about it so i keep her out for company so the old girl doesn't get lonely and that was that way that little beta females now you know marie gets picked on a lot too they get a little me actually from some of the group i put on there ok and to be even considered a little feather to pay if i could figure out how to attach it  beautiful seedlings planted just a little six l this is a demo boy what a month and a half ago and haven't gotten you know much special treatment other than water and maybe a little fertilizer and as you can see we've got some winners and some losers like this guy here you know don't bother with that gotta go with the winners a spender to put in you know for good ones or in this case six good ones and you know start you know crowding the spacing and trying to get these things to go so i figure i've got six seedlings four good ones out here for a nice big ones and then these two beautiful specimens were actually divided out of one of these cells i think this is where this little one was and you know i got two or three seeds in there and they came up real close to each other so i actually pulled them out and  little six and you know it looks like there's a blank space here but actually that will get filled in pretty good these guys when they do get full size or kind of crowd in each other and kind of squirming into whatever open space there is  they're in back they will be shading the perhaps smaller plants in the front ideally they're all going to be the same size but it's going to know how things go let's do one of these six cells first there's a nice straight one this is where the should pinched roots down here canvas don't particularly like transplanting much tomatoes love transplanting cabbage not so much it's got a fairly limited fibrous root system you see has grown into the other cell feeling a little nutrient over there so i'm not going to torture these roots too much but i'm just going to check out i'm a little bit because these have been in the cell for a while and we're just going to especially up here will come loose really easily kind of get up in that bottom plastic so it didn't get hurt saugus or dry because i knew i'd be planning this was something she'd go really good is a later cabin to head to plantings this last year the spring was so so and the ball was actually rather good so lightly to pick up any slugs that were there and then out because slugs do love cabbage will they will do a number on these they can ruin a month's work very rapidly so i've got here soaking in the vinegar to shine them up with some copper grounding wire so you can see it was tarnished from last season and we're going to make it a penny brake that's what you want what copper does is it somehow in the slug slimes over this thing is going to get a little electro shock and it actually does work but it needs to have excellent ground contact no bridges and no tunnels and that's why i put a little steak on it i tried just rings at first but this worked a lot better so we're has got a little gap here and i leave it too so that if i have to i can with the copper prices going up but these do last forever and you don't really need the twenty foot maybe five feet to the hardware store i give it a try does work petey's are just doing fine to get the first round the second round we're showing pee on the right and sweet sweet sugar pot peas and snow peas on the left and plant that i grew inside and transplanted out here no show from the seeds it's been sort of cold and the weather's been pretty variable in the last week so no sign yet  with these temperatures so a couple more days looks like they need a little bit more water could see the soil drying out a little bit so i'll give them a little sprinkle but not too much i don't want pool that soil down too much so let's go down in the just the wrong time but nonetheless i've got a good set of got enough i won't be given a way this year but i think i've got enough for two good beds and they're doing fairly good except i'm starting to see this chlorosis little bit of yellowing in the new growth which is not a real good sign i'm thinking a little bit it could be either ni will turn the leaves yellow that users starts with the older leaves and works upward last year i had the same problem and it turned out to be magnesium a little bit of ups and salts solved the situation particularly the clue here you actually start see intervene all chlorosis so the yellowing is isolated in between the beans leaf and you see that on this one in particular you can see that the veins are still sort of green generally that is going to point towards mineral deficiency either magnesium or iron would be the other one that you might want to try   magnesium sulfate so there's also a good amount of sulfur in syria which is also good for the plant so that's going in and they should know approximately what you're doing of the the box of epsom salts which is actually from a garden store which should have known better recommended something like as like a quarter cup or a half cup of ups and salts and a gallon and then you water your plants with it it sounds any time quantities get like that it can't be right so i actually figured out took a tablespoon of this stuff wait it out it's thirteen point seven grams per tablespoon of epsom salts and epsom salts are  magnesium so i've rounded up to a tenth ten percent so in a tablespoon there's actually about one point thirty seven grams of actual magnesium and you divide that in a gallon that gives you point zero zero three four nine which comes out to about three hundred forty nine per million which is just about right you can find this kind of formula online will lessons online and it's worth knowing some of the calculations to do you know just to have an eyeball and then after that you can kind of eyeball it's and you forty four percent by weight so you know we need a little bit i'm putting that in for the potassium specifically and then this is a fairly high nitrogen this is a thirty percent nitrogen source it's also  so they're in the slot and train the easy way to do it just stick them in there and let them so for a little bit talk about other things the tomatoes the final result they're all unclipped their regular humidity and they're actively growing in force and showing so here's where the graft was you can see the little angled incision all healed up and as i said last week these these bigger plants that i grafted i was really surprised at just how big i was able to graft these out they have expanded a little bit but actually the root stocks probably about the same size still that will catch up once you get implanted outside you know that it will always keep up with the rest of the planet books all sketchy now i can see right here in the things actually trying to put   as the humidity drops so you can see these are these are starting to get a little big now so i've got them spaced in bigger pot so i was going  to transplant up a couple and then leave a couple and see what works better so what we're going to do is we're going to start mixing soil here let's call it sixteen ounce
