Dip more radishes over here. I love radishes. Oh! These are beets excuse me, beets. And some beets right in between the plants. A couple of beets there. Oh! Beets with strawberry is no good. So then we’ll put a couple of beets in here. A couple of beets over here, a couple in there. Move this right along. A couple of beets over here. We’ll make this whole beet heaven and a nice beet, beet, beet, beet. There you go, beet. Where is my beet bible, there it is. I’ll put it right there. Beet, beet—okay and then I’ll plant some carrots right in here. Just add a little row of carrots is right in here and I’ll add a little row over here, and add another row right there. Take carrot, these carrots seeds are really tiny, you see it’s really tiny. Tiny carrot seeds. Okay, you see a really tiny carrot seeds. Okay so we’re going to take them and just sprinkle them right into this little bed right here. Carrots don’t transplant to us. You guys stick them in right wherever they go. So this is going to be a little carrot section and you go back like a little scallop and then you just pat them in. And this is your carrots. See? Carrots.
Okay and then we’re going to plant some onions. I got enough room over there for onions. Here’s a tip. Don’t plant onions and tomatoes together. No! Onions—tomatoes and garlic, good. Onions and garlic, good. Onions and tomato, no. What did you say? I heard that because onions will slow down the growth of the tomatoes. Even leeks, okay, garlic is good. So we’re going to do onions over here and again, these onions are really really tiny seeds you see? Really really tiny, tiny onion seeds. Tiny teeny weeny seeds, see? So we’re going to take these little seeds and we’ll make a little onion patch in this bed right here. And I’m going to go like this, sprinkle the little onion. Now the onions—you can transplant as the onions get bigger, you’re going to want to transplant them around okay and they do well with other greens. So I’m just going to take a few onions here in there. Amongst to lettuces, you see? Amongst the other different greens so we got it going because the onions are very good companion with lettuces, believe it or not. They love it. So we’re going to go like this. Just take a few in there. You don’t bury very deep because you may come too deep okay.
So there you go. And I will take my onion sign in that way the people know what’s growing. Me, I don’t like putting labels. You should wait for it to turn up. And there you go. Onion. I like doing that like the Sesame Street. Okay, you got a little patch right here. Now we’re going to—you see bars and everything right Jim? Okay so I will put—I want to grow something. And I’m—see what we got from the seeds. Now, I normally don’t get seeds. This is not the way I normally get seeds. You want to get seed, heirloom seeds when I buy it from good organic seed companies. So don’t forget about the labels out here. It’ll get those. I don’t care if the company closes because they’re not organic. Well for, for the time being, I told the lady go get some catalogues, good organic seeds, she’ll start it but for now, I’m just going to get her going at least they’re growing organically here, you see.
So let’s see. Turnip greens. Oh! Yeah! Then we’re going to start with little patch of turnip greens right over here. Look at this, a celery was not planted. All right who’s responsible for this? good, there you go. Okay and then I’m going to put some—these are turnip greens. If you ever had a turnip greens, delicious. So we’re going to do a little turnip green patch right here. Okay we’re going to take the whole seeds of turnip greens because this is one of the things you can’t transplant and we’re going to just sprinkle it in here like this. Comb it with my fingers, pat it down, put the seeds patted turnip greens.
And there we are-- and then I want to go and give it a little water and a little bit of food, clean everything up and we’ll be all done. I think I’ll plant—this is called 00:07:32 a different type of onion. It’s called a bunching onion and you can say tall and they are great like leeks. You get the—and chop them up. Then we’re going to start a little patch over here before I forget in this corner right over here. This little stretch right here. So I’m going like this, like that right in here and there you go and I will put this one right here. And we got it. We’ll go ahead inside the water process, give it a little water down because not just water, a good food. All my good organic sprays that I make, Mike will take advantage of them and give it to the plants, they’ll love. And we’ll go ahead hook up my little device and we’ll be going.
