yeah but death defying double chicken arm jump welcome to the real garden roses getting in on the act you may take turns as a lot of chicken these are long and everything seems to be growing pretty well i'm going to take a look at what's going on in the garden talk about what needs to happen in the garden next you know i thought i was sitting pretty with an extra bag or two and i've already started to figure out that i've got more seed than i can plant probably but nonetheless will figure something out  rosie still bossy have been kind of encouraging you know this is a good way to for chickens who have been you know at odds with each other to kind of get them used to each other they share a leaf you know they're friends again know he's actually been reestablishing a little dominance for you she rode marie claire a little bit last couple days ago and i was kind of watching the hummingbirds tell you the truth i didn't see this point we've done one thinning to get the little clumps of seed thinned out and this point when they're looking like this you can start to be pretty confident that you can come in here pick your best plant and start  know pull in some of these out for sure and getting down to single single plants this point you know i left three or four in each spot and now they're filling that space now it's time to get them down to one always looks sad when you thin limb properly they of course you know that you know you rip but these next to this one this one starts to flop if he does you know just lean back up but the thing is you know that's going to you know i thinned about a week ago and they've already  space and same thing's going to happen basically plants will fill the space whether it's four plants in there or one plant and that's basically what you're doing when you're thinning is giving that one plant the advantage cabbage are also responding to a little ni and good growth from them they don't mind these cold days and the peas of course look first things in the ground every year are coming along nicely that first around a piece should we should be seeing blossoms here pretty quick and i've done with the lighter plastic you know i started realizing that six mil plastic it's just what i had on hand so use that and realize that really was cutting into my life transmission so i want to have went to two mill plastic fill out so i'd go with fourteen leaders on this plant so i clipped the very bottom two suckers but i'm leaving one two three four  with i have six one two three four five six which split into two i'm sorry one two three four split into two which is eight and then we forked up here these two major they're looking very good and i'm i really need to get them in the ground they're going to stump in those pots of leave them much longer but they haven't started blooming yet that's a good sign  i always pull the purse blossoms off peppers anyway until it's happening as they're getting a little stressed and they've decided to put one pepper out there to try to reproduce for the next year and if you don't if you don't have a really nice warm soil temperature holding sixty first extra sweet corn you know the shrunken gene corns and the sugar enhanced corn you may want sixty five or and sprouting to get maybe up to the third leaf stage and then we'll stick them out at their final space and let him do their thing so i have prying to see however the try sweet normally i have you know i'm growing some you know varieties as you can see it's a high sugar content so it wrinkles up it doesn't have as much starch which fills the kernel that's why they look all wrinkly so they always look a little funny to me but so what i've done here is i give these guys don't want to turn these in the hominy you know you know you know want these soft you just want them to imbibe a little bit of water to get the germination process going and you know the stimulants well very much so as a comparison i went ahead and weighed them and the dry weight on this was this point five percent grams for sixty seeds and this was twelve point eight for the wet so they picked up about fifty percent of the dr one of the flint corn tended to pick up about twenty five thirty percent and kind of stopped there different varieties are going to pick up different moisture but you don't want to soften them you just want to invite them so we're going to use a little dixie cup you know i've got a tube of them and cast kerry for you know search eat there just you know usually try to stick with the standard nursery plastic and you know that's what the systems built for us with flats are built plant container that size but you know this is a brand name of c that not too familiar with i don't know the germination rate the sweet corn is something that i'm not used to dealing with i'm not sure what the and using sort of mixed mix here as far as the soil goes this is a little bit of my recycled potting mix from over the years and i added a little chunky perlite because it looked a little heavy to me everything well aged well settled continue to grow past you know about fifty degrees so you know about me and push it up to eighty eighty five and you'll see some germination and three or four days probably cuts from the corn to the squash here's a pretty little variety a little italian variety that i picked up there calling it a pumpkin or a squash you know so i'm assuming good one great one year and not so regular oh well give it one more try and grow from other things so with these guys i'm going to start with the big pot this year i'm going to plant take a couple of these will do three and you know i pick them you know go for the fat ones you know when you look at adam from that angle they should have you know con cavity to them  i floated all these to when i was cleaning up you know all the sinkers you keep all the floaty ones you lose these should be pretty good well put again i want one good plant per pot now put three seeds in given a little powers freddo of the condition of my homegrown see them till i open up a commercial pack and find you know skinny see these are poorly cleaned or in this case of this third sweet corn they were moldy call me after the show i listen to the phone after the tuesday evening show we can always leave a name number question comment on the answering machine and also because of that website you know the real garden dot com their pictures and stripes on the techniques seen here
