Henry's Garden episode featuring the exclusive 'Henry's Garden onion cam' and early spring prep.
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 2 00:14 Henry? Yes. Why did you start without me? Speaker 1 00:17 Because if I'd waited for you, Buzz, these plants would have been grown up to here in the packages. Speaker 2 00:23 No, no, no. 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, Speaker 1 00:40 a 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 plan out 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 right. 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, they say 18 to 24 inches Speaker 1 01:42 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 six inches. Speaker 2 01:51 Yeah. Speaker 1 01:53 No buts about it. Speaker 2 01:54 Why do you think they put 12 to 24 inches and you plant them 6 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 Speaker 1 02:04 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 02:10 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 6 inches apart? Speaker 2 02:17 No. Speaker 1 02:18 No. There. Speaker 1 02:19 But that's because they've got a lot of room and I don't. Speaker 1 02:21 So I am going to demonstrate something called intensive gardening, Speaker 1 02:26 in which you garden closer together, you tend among the plants, Speaker 1 02:30 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 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 Go 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 03:14 I'm sorry. Speaker 2 03:16 We're going to plant these in rows. Speaker 2 03:16 I can't believe you just stepped on the broccoli. Speaker 2 03:18 We're going to plant them about a foot apart, and we're going to plant the rose three feet apart. Speaker 2 03:21 How deep? Speaker 2 03:23 Probably up to the red part. Speaker 2 03:24 How close? Speaker 2 03:25 A foot apart, I said, if you were listening to the... Speaker 2 03:27 No, I never listened to what you said. Speaker 2 03:29 I knew the answer to that. Speaker 1 03:31 A foot apart? Speaker 1 03:31 Once again, Buzz, they're going to get how big? Speaker 1 03:34 These are vertical type of plants. Speaker 2 03:35 They're coming from the base, so they're going to get a foot. Speaker 2 03:38 That's a big clump with this one onion attached. Speaker 2 03:40 You're only going to get one onion off of a particular plant. Speaker 1 03:43 What's the diameter of the onion? Speaker 2 03:45 Well, it's the ones like you see in the store. Speaker 2 03:47 would be about what four oh no they're about more like six to eight inches okay so i'm going to Speaker 1 03:51 plant these six to eight inches apart okay because a full apart no because what's going to happen is Speaker 1 03:57 that that way they will come right to here and they will be perfectly spaced okay shading the shot Speaker 2 04:02 i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i mean this is a perfect soil for onion because it's light it's Speaker 2 04:07 airy it drains real well and when when is it going to actually be ready they're going to be ready Speaker 2 04:12 Probably in the late spring, mid to late, say, time of the year. Speaker 1 04:19 Yeah, whatever you say. Speaker 1 04:20 Okay. Speaker 1 04:20 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. Speaker 1 04:41 And you can use this around pets. Speaker 1 04:44 And vegetables. Speaker 1 04:45 It is indeed safe. Speaker 2 04:46 It is very organic. Speaker 2 04:47 It's been registered on there. Speaker 2 04:49 Wait a minute. Speaker 1 04:49 The only-- what? Speaker 2 04:51 Put it on uniformly. Speaker 2 04:52 I am putting it on uniformly. Speaker 2 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. 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, we bid you a fond farewell. Speaker 1 05:12 in Henry's garden. Speaker 1 05:13 Sorry.
