fertilizer. >> all readily available. >> all readily available at any reputable garden center one part each, one of the big questions that i always get from viewers, viewers love crook neck squash in this area the problem with squash if you only plant one plant, you will not get squash reliably because squash plants cross pollinate, what you want to actually do, is plant your squash in what is called a hill, it is a mound like this, and you take this, you put it in there like that and put your third plant in, what will happen here s the plants will actually cross pollinate, this little plastic ring should be removed i am just showing the viewer but the pot will disintegrate this way the cross pollination you will make sure you get a good harvest of squash. >> got you. >> another question that i get a lot about summer veggies, people love their beans, but

they don't understand why most of the beans after the first crop kind of die out, go on to any reputable garden website and look up an inknock lent what it is, is a micro fine powder, it is bacteria, and it actually gets those bean seeds inoculated and the beans are able to take in nitrogen naturally, through their leaves, throughout the whole summer, and they will give you a yield all the way to fall. >> so i didn't know you had to do that >> you don't have to, but if you don't do it, the only good harvest of beans will be the first. >> now tomatos people in washington love toe natos. >> fresh tomato -- tomatos. >> fresh tomatos fantastic. >> one misnomer is that you have to plant tomatos at night to get a good harvest.

it is not true. tomatos couldn't care less when you plant them the other thing it is chilly for tomatos right now if you wait until right after mothers day that would be the best time to do it. >> okay. >> wait two weeks to put your tomatos in. lastly, i get this question all the time what do i get if my toe natos are just really leggy what happens is, if you look here, i am just getting this plant adjusted a bit the tomatoes are all the way up here what is happening is, all of these lower leaves the plant is going to move, now most of the times when you are planting a plant, you want to make sure, tony i am going to get you to hold the tomato plant steady for me. hold it up top here and watch your suit i will be coming around the back >> we have to wrap up go ahead. >> yeah what you want to do is fill that in, all the way up, it is okay to cover a tomato plant all the way to the top,

you would continue to add soil all the watap where your hand is. >> wow. >> that will -- the tomato will produce more roots and you will get a better crop. >> this is that same mix >> same garden mix we did. >> wait on the tomatos. >> wait on the tomatos a little bit when you plant them it is okay to plant them too deep. >> derek thomas as always ask the garden guy great tips. >> thanks for helping me out. >> we will be back with a little bit more
