Let’s take some of these triple thirteen; some are a little bit heaver upon application. I’m going to drop it down inside of there, inside this grave where my footsteps where. Even settle a bit. If you put it on both sides don’t overdo it. This triple thirteen can get a little harsh. After you apply your fertilizer take your rake.
Now let’s do the other side. Step over there by the bag. Come over here Troy, look down the road. What I have here is some turnip seeds. These have been sitting in the water for 14 hours now and they are starting to sprout. Some of them have a sprout about sixteenth of an inch long, thirty second of an inch long.
Now even though these seeds are little bitty, take a look at these, they produce a big bulb, say 2 to 3 inches in diameter. So if you plant these too close, you got to come back and thin them out later. Now these seeds do not require your same doing it all top of the ground because they are not planted really deep. What I’m going to do is kind of mess the soil a little bit more. And there we go. Just put a little soil on top of them. And now we have a nice row. And let us finish this, be back in a minute.
These are mustard green seeds. They are like the turnips. They have been soaking for the same amount of time. Just put them in the water. Let them start sprouting. These are not sprouted as good as the turnip greens, but we are going to go ahead and put them down. One of these little seeds, take a look at this little bit. I don’t know if you can see them in the camera or not. These teeny little seeds that is in the creases of my hand will make enough food, this one little bag will make enough food for some small family.
We got some seeds in the water, we’re just going to pour them. There we go. Check your bag, these little seeds will get stuck deep inside the bag. Every seed that you can should be planted. Every seed should have its chance to produce. Now let’s get the rake. Just pour this over. And lightly cover those seeds up. They do not have to be deep. And there we go. We got a row of turnip greens and we got a row of mustard greens. And they’re planted beneath the shade of this big pecan tree. and what this pecan tree does is that during the heat of the day, we are in Texas and right the heat and the air are in the mid 90’s, and direct sunlight is probably 110, 112, 108 somewhere in there. The shade tree allowed just enough sun to get to the plant but keeps them cool so they do not burn up in the Texas heat. Alright, that’s it. See how easy that was. Thank you for your time.
