In segment 4 Joey and Holly answer gardeners questions

1.What can I plant in place after I harvest my garlic?
A: Tomatoes , potatoes, cucumbers, peas, turnips, rutabagas

2. Q:My tomatoes look normal but the turn black on the bottom.what's wrong ?
The bottom of the fruit is black?
A: This would be blossom in root rot it is due to the fact that there's not enough water in the swell in order for the plant to pick up the necessary calcium that is required to properly develop the fruit what you want to do is just water the plant keep the soil to a damn consistency such as a sponge and water regularly to prevent the soil from drying out and then preventing the plant from up taking the calcium that is needed to develop the fruit if you begin to water that will fix the next generation of fruit that will begin to develop it will not fix the current problem that is on the plant

3. Q: Are shrews good or bad for the garden?
A:Shrews don't hurt plants, and they don't burrowing into garden beds much if any. They live under leafs and grass matter such as mulch and might use existing mole and vole tunnels. So they are fine for the garden
As the name implies, insects make up a large portion of the typical shrew diet. Food habit studies have revealed that shrews eat beetles, grasshoppers, butterfly and moth larvae, ichneumonid wasps, crickets, spiders, snails, earthworms, slugs, centipedes, and millipedes.

4. Q:I have about 15 2-3 year old boxwoods that I am trying to grow into a hedge. Suddenly the outside tips are turning yellow. I am concerned that I might loose them. Is there anything I should do to assure their health.
A:Feed and water your bushes like normal to help them recover. Root Rot. Sometimes, the root systems of boxwood shrubs get infected with fungal pathogens like Phytophthora. When root rot becomes serious, it'll manifest as yellowing leaves that curl inward and turn up, and the plant will grow poorly
