Henry celebrates Bay Area gardening where you can plant vegetables and flowers any time of year.
Speaker 1 00:00 Oh, this is one of the reasons that I love living in the Bay Area. Speaker 1 00:03 I love gardening in the Bay Area because you can plant vegetables. Speaker 1 00:08 Heck, you can plant flowers any time of the year. Speaker 1 00:12 What do you want, buddy? Speaker 1 00:14 Henry? Speaker 1 00:15 Yes. Speaker 2 00:15 Why did you start without me? Speaker 1 00:18 Because if I'd waited for you, Buzz, Speaker 1 00:20 these plants would have been grown up to here in the packages. Speaker 2 00:24 No, no, no. Speaker 2 00:24 You would have done it right if I was here to direct you. Speaker 1 00:27 All right, Mr. Smart Guy, what have I done wrong? Speaker 1 00:30 Let me show folks what I've done first, okay? Speaker 1 00:32 Go ahead. Set the stage. Speaker 1 00:33 Then you can tell them what I did wrong. Speaker 1 00:34 Set the stage. Speaker 1 00:35 Ladies and gentlemen, I went out and I got cauliflower, nice little row there. Speaker 1 00:41 This is broccoli, nice little row there. Speaker 1 00:44 I've got a few extras of both over here. Speaker 1 00:47 This is cabbage over here. Speaker 1 00:49 And then in front, I don't know if you can see, this is lettuce, Speaker 1 00:52 which is all the way in the front so that I can just lift the little leaves off Speaker 1 00:55 when I'm ready to enhance my delicious salad. Speaker 1 00:58 All right, buddy, what's your problem? Speaker 2 01:00 My problem is not with the selection of the plant material. Speaker 2 01:03 Oh, thank you. Speaker 2 01:03 Let me start on the positive. Speaker 2 01:05 Usually I start with a negative. Speaker 2 01:06 Let's start with a positive. Speaker 2 01:07 You're kidding. Speaker 2 01:08 You plant the lettuce correctly, Speaker 2 01:10 meaning that you're close to the edge Speaker 2 01:11 because we're not going to let the lettuce develop a full head. Speaker 2 01:14 So we'll be cutting this during the season Speaker 2 01:16 and keeping the heads pretty much contained to the space that they are. Speaker 1 01:20 So are you saying I did it right? Speaker 1 01:21 I said you did it right. Speaker 1 01:22 Hang on a second. Speaker 1 01:23 Are you saying I did it right? Speaker 1 01:24 Mark the tape. Speaker 1 01:26 I did it right. Speaker 1 01:27 Okay, can we get a little fireworks? Speaker 1 01:28 No, you did it. Speaker 2 01:30 I did it right. Speaker 2 01:30 Now what? Speaker 2 01:31 Now what? Speaker 2 01:31 But you did the others wrong. Speaker 2 01:34 Go ahead. Speaker 2 01:35 Because you have them too close together. Speaker 2 01:37 If you read the instructions on the pack of the little tags there, Speaker 2 01:40 they say 18 to 24 inches apart. Speaker 1 01:42 It says 18 inches apart. Speaker 2 01:45 Okay. Speaker 1 01:45 Now, I admit that these are somewhat closer than 18 inches. Speaker 2 01:49 Somewhat close. Speaker 1 01:50 Well, okay, they're more like 6 inches. Speaker 2 01:51 Yeah. Speaker 1 01:54 But Europeans... Speaker 2 01:54 Why do you think they put 12 to 24 inches and you plant them six inches? Speaker 1 01:58 They didn't say 12 to 24, they said 18. Speaker 1 02:00 The Europeans have been planting intensively for centuries because they don't have big yards. Speaker 2 02:05 Have you ever driven through the Salinas Valley when they have the crops in there? Speaker 2 02:09 And you notice how big they get? Speaker 2 02:11 Yes. Speaker 2 02:12 How big these particular crops have gotten? Speaker 2 02:14 Okay. Speaker 2 02:15 Do they plant them six inches apart? Speaker 2 02:17 No. Speaker 1 02:18 No. Speaker 1 02:18 There. Speaker 1 02:19 But that's because they've got a lot of room and I don't. Speaker 1 02:22 So I am going to demonstrate something called intensive gardening, in which you garden closer together, Speaker 1 02:28 you tend among the plants, and maybe they don't get quite as big, but you get more of them. Speaker 2 02:34 The lesson here is that when you're setting out your vegetable garden, Speaker 2 02:38 kind of size up the space and get the right number of plants for what you're going to do. Speaker 2 02:42 All right, buddy. Anything else I did wrong? Speaker 2 02:44 No. I told you what you did right. I told you what you did wrong. Speaker 2 02:48 We've got some other things to plant, specifically onion plants, Speaker 2 02:51 And Henry, oh Henry Henry Henry. Speaker 2 02:55 What? Speaker 2 02:56 Stockton red onions. Speaker 2 02:57 Can you imagine a freshly grown, homegrown slice of Stockton red onion on that barbecued Speaker 2 03:05 burger this summer? Speaker 2 03:06 They're beautiful. Speaker 2 03:06 I certainly can. Speaker 2 03:07 Matter of fact. Speaker 2 03:08 They're gorgeous. Speaker 2 03:08 We'll have lunch. Speaker 2 03:10 No, can we plant this thing please? Speaker 2 03:12 Okay, alright, alright. Speaker 2 03:13 Onions. Speaker 2 03:13 Watch what you just stepped up. Speaker 2 03:15 I'm sorry. Speaker 2 03:16 We're gonna plant these in rows. Speaker 2 03:16 I can't believe you just stepped on my broccoli. Speaker 2 03:18 We're gonna plant them about a foot apart and we're gonna plant the rows three feet Speaker 2 03:21 How deep? Probably up to the red part. How close? A foot apart, I said if you were listening to the... Speaker 2 03:27 No, I never listened to what you say. Well, I knew the answer to that. A foot apart? Once again, Buzz, Speaker 2 03:32 they're going to get how big? These are vertical type of plants that are coming from the base, Speaker 2 03:36 so they're going to get a foot. That's a big clump with this one onion attached. So you're Speaker 1 03:41 only going to get one onion off of a particular plant. What's the diameter of the onion? Well, Speaker 1 03:45 it's the ones like you see in the store. Yeah, which would be about what, four inches? Oh, Speaker 2 03:48 No, they're about more like 6 to 8 inches. Speaker 1 03:50 Okay, so I'm going to plant these 6 to 8 inches apart. Speaker 1 03:53 Okay. Speaker 1 03:54 Because... Speaker 1 03:54 Apart. Speaker 1 03:55 No, because what's going to happen is that that way they will come right to here and they Speaker 1 04:00 will be perfectly spaced. Speaker 1 04:01 Okay. Speaker 1 04:01 You're shading the shot, please. Speaker 2 04:02 I'm sorry. Speaker 2 04:03 I'm sorry. Speaker 2 04:03 I'm sorry. Speaker 2 04:04 I mean, this is a perfect soil for onion because it's light, it's airy, it drains real well. Speaker 1 04:09 And when is it going to actually be ready? Speaker 2 04:11 They're going to be ready probably in the late spring, mid to late, say, time of the Speaker 1 04:18 Yeah, whatever you say. Speaker 1 04:20 Okay, well, I think I've got enough right now. Speaker 1 04:22 Okay. Speaker 1 04:22 Okay? Speaker 1 04:23 So, the only other thing we need to do is to take care of the slugs and snails. Speaker 2 04:27 Yeah, that's the other thing. Speaker 2 04:28 With all this moisture, be sure you put the adequate amount of snail bait out. Speaker 2 04:33 This is a pet-safe product. Speaker 1 04:36 It's called Sluggo. Speaker 1 04:37 Can I get some sun on here, Buzz? Speaker 1 04:39 Thank you. Speaker 1 04:39 It's called Sluggo, and you can use this around pets. Speaker 1 04:44 And vegetables. Speaker 2 04:45 It is indeed safe. Speaker 2 04:46 It's organic. Speaker 1 04:47 It is very organic. Speaker 2 04:47 that's been registered on it. Speaker 2 04:49 Wait a minute, wait. Speaker 2 04:49 The only, what? Speaker 2 04:51 Put it on uniformly. Speaker 2 04:52 I am putting it on uniformly. Speaker 1 04:54 Yeah, uniformly all over the place. Speaker 1 04:56 The only thing this is bad for, by the way, Speaker 1 04:58 is for slugs and snails. Speaker 1 05:00 Yeah, okay. Speaker 2 05:00 And what they do is they ingest it, Speaker 2 05:02 then they crawl away and kind of hide, Speaker 2 05:04 and then they basically die at that point. Speaker 1 05:06 Okay. - All right. Speaker 1 05:07 And on that happy note, Speaker 1 05:09 we bid you a fond farewell in Henry's garden. Speaker 1 05:13 Sorry.
