Jim’s Garden Tip is brought to you by Zamzows, nobody knows like Zamzows. Okay, when we plant peppers, we plant sweet peppers and hot peppers exactly the same way. We just simply dig a hole, put a little compost in it, three fingers of fertilizer, mix it in the hole, and set the plant in. Now, peppers unlike other vegetables do not like to be planted deeper than what they are in the pot so we want that just about the surface of soil level, just take it, and water it in. Peppers like to be planted about 18 inches apart. Now, I’ll show how to plant zucchini. We’ve move out of the boxes because zucchini requires quite a lot of room. I’m just going to plant one hill in the middle. I’ve kind of mounted this soil up and we’ll end up and thin this to probably just two or three plants to the hill. And I just push them down with the depth of my first knuckle which is about one inch in depth. Just pack them in real good and water well. In about six weeks you’ll have more zucchinis than you know what to do with. When you plant cucumbers, you can either plant them and allow them to spread on the ground or you can put them along a fence. Cucumbers will grow up and as they develop, they’ll hang right off to that fence so they’re easy to pick. So, I begin by pulling this to a couple of shallow furrows, plant them to about six inches apart. As they start to grow up thin it to about a foot apart. Then once they’re planted, I just rake the dirt over the top of them and tempt them in and water them in the third planting solution. Join me next week and I’ll show you how to plant sweet corn so you’ll enjoy good, sweet corn all through fall.
