(piano solo begins)
It may not seem like it right now, but Thursday workdays in November were hot
and sunny and action-packed. Take a look. I sent Erick to clean the city trash bins
while I photographed the days guava harvest.
Okay... I got some
organic seed starting mix that was highly rated on Amazon, and it's got
mycorrhizae in here.
So, I guess I'll be starting seeds in a month or so.
Let's see. Ah ha.
Um, hm. Four ollas.
These are my two big ones. I don't know where I'm putting them, yet, but I'm so
happy with the idea of saving water and time.
Save water, save time. I'm all for that.
Finally! I ordered this a while ago, How the food you eat can reverse climate
change, heal your body, and ultimately save our world. Can't wait to read this.
Oh, oh, ha, ha.
I use these minerals. I drink these minerals.
These are some very inexpensive pathway lights,
but, they're solar, and...
Oh, you have to put them together.
Oh well. Okay.
The man who sent me these garlic, this is
Rose du Lautrec,..
(music ends)
said that if I soaked them in fish fertilizer for 16 hours
before I planted them, they would germinate and, and grow better, so that's
what I'm doing. So I've just dropped them in here and I'm going to soak them for
two thirds of a day.
It's going to be a little embarrassing to have a six-foot trellis and 18 inch
tall peas. And they're already blooming, so their focus now will be on pea
production and not height. Oh wow, there's a bloom that's open.
Look how tiny these blooms are. Oh my.
(tango music begins)
By this point, the cans were spick and span and we headed across the street.
Wow. Eh, we need more big container.
But did you get enough roots? A lot of roots!
Okay, but they're not... This is no good. Yes, well, just, let's get it
across the street, and I've got a bigger pot in the back. See this is the
mother. Okay. This is the baby. Right. It's survived. But we have enough?
Yeah, but we need more dirt. Okay. Let's take it over. It's nice, nice.
Let's take it over and get a bigger pot.
That hasn't had a drop of water
since April, so if it's that tough, I'm planting it in my yard. My idea was to
salvage one of my neighbor's grapevines, because he's not coming back. Until it
recovered, I wanted it in a pot, but the black one was just too ugly.
I don't know if it's better, but it looks nicer.
(tango music)
Because if we don't get that planted till February, then, yeah, we got to figure out
a place to put it, a way to support it.
(tango ends)
Perfect. Want to move around? Well, it
would be nicer if it was in the other spot wouldn't it?
This is another one of the unusual fungi that pop up in my garden.
(lively music begins)
Beautiful. A lot
of worms. The next big project was harvesting worms from the worm towers.
Nice. So, do you want to, how do you want to do this? This is all, put it here. The
bottom is the good one.
So we can use what's in the bottom. This is the bottom, excellent.
Okay, so, right, that's beautiful. This is ready. Ok, ok.
This is for your plants, vegetables. Um-hm.
It is nice. Ooo, compost.
Compost and worms. Oh, look, there's mildew on this. Add Roselle and sage to the
list of things I can't grow here because of mildew. That one looks bad, and I just
took out my broadleaf sage, which was gorgeous, filling up that entire
container, but it was covered in mildew. If you don't believe me, I'll show you.
It's down there. You can see white spots from here. Oh, brother.
(lively music)
That's good enough, you don't have to,
yeah, spend too much time on it. The worms will eat it.
This is no need to cut it. No, just dump it.
And then all that goes on top, right?
This is going on top.
Okay? Um-hm. Done.
Okay. Wait, you've... Did it click?
Okay. If it doesn't click, it's got something in the way.
Put it back? Um-hm.
Oh my! A hundred worms.
At least. They love those guavas.
Wow, oh my goodness, ha, ha, ha.
Happy? Yeah!
Ha, ha, ha. Okay, well, right, that's good. Then we'll mix that, and then,
and then we'll put some in all of the containers. Good. Ooh, you dropped one.
It's hard for me to...
I'll get it. Come here, baby, come on.
Ha, ha, it tickles. I can't
tell which end is the head. I guess the one that's going forward.
(music ends)
We saw like six today, didn't we?
Six monarch caterpillars? Oh, here's two more. There's one and
there's one. It's good to know all those monarch
butterflies we saw were successfully laying eggs, and they seem like they're
starting to get used to the goose plant. It's not their favorite, but it's all I
have right now, so. This stuff turns into trees if you're not careful.
Thanks so much for watching this channel, and sharing it with your friends. Please
give me that like, and I'll see you in the next video.
