Hi, Welcome to Daddykirbs Garden.
I got Luke here, He's planting my Marigolds
On the edge of the bed that I have One Tomato, and...
my Pepper plants. I have six Pepper plants. This is a Hot pepper bed.
These are just regular mixed Hot peppers.
but, the Marigolds, hopefully will be something that will keep away 
 some pests, and even if that's not entirely true
they'll be pretty on the edge of the bed. and What he's doing...
He's laying down his fist. Show us how you are doing it Luke.
He's laying down his fist to know the spacing. 
 He's putting them about a hands width apart.
Put the next one down.
Put the next one down.
Now the, the Marigolds that we are planting are from Bountiful Gardens.
They are the French Sparky Marigolds
I'm not entirely sure, but I've heard the French ones are good for 
 keeping pest away, but I've also heard the Mexican ones are...
and I've heard the opposite of each, so I have some Mexican and 
 some French, but right now we are planting the French Marigolds.
Just in case anyone is wondering...
I cheated on that. I bought that at Costco. It 
 was about that big when I planted it.
The allure of a already large Tomato plant got the best of me.
but, Once I planted it I thought it would be kinda fun to compare 
 the growth and production of one that is nursery raised to this size
and store bought. Compared to ones that I raised from seeds
and uh these are Heirloom varieties and this one I believe is a Hybrid.
I think it's called Big Boys.
How's that going Luke? Good.
Go ahead? Go ahead.
What I have Luke planting now is the Bor-ODGE, or 
 BOR-edge (Borage) not exactly sure how it's pronounced.
Do it? One per hole, just cover it a little bit, bud.
There you go. We're putting six in this bed.
The directions say you only need a couple per bed, 
 and that's fine. I tend to overdo things sometimes.
and uh these, again, are from Bountiful Gardens.
but uh just like this here says that it uh attracts helpful insects to pollinate 
 crops and eat pest, and it uh can be used as an edible flower.
so, I've never grown this before. We'll see what it looks like.
and last in this garden bed, at least for tonight is... we're 
 gonna experiment with putting Carrots around the base of the Pepper plants.
That is not because of any knowledge of any companion 
 planting or anything. It's really just to uh
... utilize the shade from the Pepper plants to uh
 help extend the Carrots into the hotter season.
and this is the variety that we're doing here.
so, I just made a ring in the dirt around the Peppers and Luke is dropping the 
 seeds in the rings, and then we'll scoot them over with a little bit of dirt.
Can I put them in my bed?
So for review... On the South side of the 
 bed in a straight line is the Marigolds.
one, two, three, four, five, six of the Bor-ODGE flowers, 
 or BOR-edge. Somebody tell me how that's pronounced.
and then, in the rings are the Carrots.
You're doing a good job, bud. Can I put them in my bed?
Thanks for joining me here in the Daddykirbs garden tonight. and
 I'll show you again when these things start popping up
how beautiful this bed should be... fingers crossed.
