In segment 4 Joey and Holly answer garden questions

Garden questions
1. I just noticed a few holes on my brussel sprout leaves that I need to take care of. I have a batch of fruit tree spray I mixed up earlier for my apple trees. Can i use fruit tree spray on their vegetables? The label says for apple and fruit trees and strawberries. Doesn't say anything about vegetables.
A:The safe answer is no you can not. The more detailed answer is what kind of spray did you use for the trees and is it just for fruit tree or does the label say it can be used for both?
2. What Advice for watering can you offer?
A: Water early or late in the day if you can fine mulch add that to the garden water twice
as much as you think you need as the soil will use it all up. If you get the leave wet there
is no issue with that.

3. Q: Jessi Do you think it's too late in the year to plant pole beans am in green bay. I forgot I bought them from mi gardener. ( love them!) Also, love your podcast. ?
A: Based on where you are at it maybe pushing it. Pole beans take 70-80 days to start producing
and will keep producing till frost. Bush beans take 40-60 days to start producing and will produce for
2 to 3 weeks.

4.Miranda asked : What about container gardens? Is there mycorrhizal fungi in our soil? Some of us live in a condominium and need to buy soil. I wonder if there's any life in the soil that we buy in bags. I love gardening.
A: Yes there is mycorrhizal and fungi in the compost/bagged soil that you buy if you by the soiless mix then no there is not.

5. Simmons wants to know: Can you propagate a yacon tuber to make a new plant?
A: No the only way you can propagate Yacons in by the rhizomes you can save them in the fall in sand in a cool place over winter we have videos on have to do that.

6. Q:Can you save corn pollen
A: yes you can there are several sets in do this those

7.Q: any suggestions on how to prepare radish seed pods? never knew you could eat em, i usually just collect the seeds, wanna try eating them. Thanks.
A: we harvest the pods when they are full and plump and green you can pick them when they are smaller. based on the soil moisture the pods can be crisp or they can have heat to them. some gardeners pickle them in the frig.
