hey you all dream from where the yocals grow as you can see we're out here in the front
yard and that's because in this today's video we are going to be planting up some
starts for our mid-summer crops our hot season crops we have tomatoes we have peppers we have
herbs we have lots of seeds that we're going to be planting but in this video we're going
to concentrate on just the starts that we have and we're going to get those into the beds so
this will be the part one of our planting weekend as we approach summer solstice so if you all are
new here welcome and if you are returning i am so glad to see you again let's get growing y'all
okay so this is the bed we're gonna be planting all the tomatoes in
most of the tomatoes will be at the front of the bed because at the back of the bed
i will be planting sunflower seeds and i'm gonna have to lift up
these cosmos not sure how i'm gonna do it just yet but i got to get those lifted up
and as always of course the first thing that we do is we always amend our beds and in my bucket
in my bucket i have a blood meal
and some espoma um organic all-purpose fertilizer and then when we plant our
tomatoes as always we always put micas at the roots and we do this with our peppers too
but we're going to start in this bed with the tomatoes
let's talk about the tomatoes here okay so there's a rule of thumb in gardening and it is said that
if it goes together it grows together so you can see i planted three basil plants in between
all of the tomatoes so that the basil and the tomato grow together sorry i'm a little winded
um so the tomato in the back right here is an end is an indeterminate so it takes about 80 days
before it'll get medium-sized fruit this one also is an indeterminate and this is an indeterminate
both of these are called um i think they're called chunky cherry husky cherry my apologies they're
called husky cherry and then the two that you saw me plant in the back are both called independence
day tomatoes and they will be ready in 45 days so i will get the ones in the back first and
then we'll start getting these other ones right at the end of the season which is really good because
all the tomatoes in the back with the exception of the indeterminates will probably be done producing
so we're going to move on to the next bed bed we're going gonna hey y'all this is the bed
we're gonna plant these peppers in but i wanted to kind of show it to you so you get a perspective
it is in partial sun now i grow my peppers either in partial sun or partial shade
i have just had more luck with my peppers here in texas growing them in partial sun or
partial shade i've gotten better yields the plants don't get burned up by this hot sun
and let me tell you right now it is probably about 8 30 in the morning
and i think we're pushing 90 and before the day is over we will be at 104. so i just wanted to give
you some perspective and i've got a little footage for all my other peppers that are currently
growing in the shade that are doing so well so let's get this bed amended filled and planted
let's see what we did we have shiseido peppers first we have one right here and then we have
two right here these four this four right here are banana peppers and then these four right
here are california red sweet peppers now i still got to water everything in on the front and the
back but i feel i felt like um you probably didn't want to watch that so i'm not going to film that
but i just wanted to let you know it is time to plant peppers now i know some of us plant
them a little earlier but if you're getting a late start you know don't worry about that run
down to your nurseries you know ask them what they got what can you start you can start tomatoes you
can start peppers you can start cucumbers you can start potatoes you can start carrots you can start
turnips you can even do some radishes i mean it's not too late if you're just getting into the game
of starting your garden so get out there if you're really wanting to hey you all it's hot i'm sweaty
