So, we're gonna take that out of there and stick the roots in there.
It's more easy. Let me show you. Cut it... Done.
okay so you need to go like that, dip it in here,... Okay.
Try not to breathe this. This has got fine particles.
Just touch the roots to the liquid.
Ready. Now, can you get it in here?
You hold. Wow. Good, all right. So, these seven gallon grow bags are exactly the same
top space... Oh here's a worm. Got to get that in.
It's a little bit... needs to go that way. Put the dirt on this side.
We'll figure out something else for the rest.
I mix. Coffee. So we're using some alfalfa pellets, some coffee grounds, and
my amendments mix. And now these are drawstring bags so they go like that.
I've never tried the drawstring, we'll see how it goes.
All right that's number one.
Okay? Okay. Teamwork.
Ok. Ok.
Ok, it's 1 o'clock and past time for a lunch break, and I'm having red
seedless organic grapes with raw milk, Monterey Jack, jalapeno cheese. You may
wonder why I plant so many peppers.
There's really no good explanation. I'm just obsessed.
You can wash these cloth pots and use them for at least three years.
That's a lot of mildew. But, I can wash it.
It's probably another volunteer.
I was hoping all these volunteer Tomatoes would be less
susceptible to mildew, but that's not the case.
Coffee? And alfalfa.
You hold it.
Hold it right there for a minute.
Ready? Yeah.
Snug as a bug in a rug, as we used to say.
So we're gonna squeeze one tomato plant right here because last year I had that
huge Aunt Ruby's German green tomato in the ground in that raised bed there, but
it's a little cramped, so we're putting it in a seven gallon pot and we're gonna
put it right here.
This is a black trifele. It's got a lot of flowers on it.
It's also got some mildew on it and but I'm very hopeful if we get it in the
ground, it'll produce some Tomatoes.
It is 5:27 and Eric left about 4:05 and he said he didn't have time to water, so he
said, you got to water. So I started that and two young ladies, sixth graders
came down from down the street. One has recently moved here from London. Her name
is Ella, and she was with Maddie, who is a neighbor and they have an orchard. I was
showing them around and then Zachary dropped over for a strawberry, so I got a
quick picture of the three of them. So I just got through watering. It took
an hour. I'm exhausted, but my spirit is so... I mean I got a second wind in the
afternoon. It was, I thought at lunchtime I was done, but this garden is endlessly
fascinating, and demanding. But nobody made me do it.
