In segment four Joey and Holly answer garden questions

Cabbage is turning yellow 
Q: Why are my cabbage transplants turning yellow?
A: my first thought is over watering by you or rain as it is flushing out the Nitrogen in the soil. to fix this top dress with more compost around the plant or you can make a compost tea and water it in to feed the plant. If you have a fertilizer with a higher 1st number apply it to the plant according the the instructions. it this situations. The best would be a liquid so it can be picked up right away by the roots

Onion to seed
Q: I took an onion that had sprouted greens and planted it now I'm starting to see seeds /flower come in so my question is should I cut the flower and let the onion develop more or should I let the seeds grow?
A,you want to cut the flower head off to put more energy into the bulb development (note it will not storage good at all and the bulb will be smaller do not save seeds as you do not know if it is a long short or mid day variety )

Poison ivy
Q: I was driving, listening to your show on WAAM - Ann Arbor Mi.
I have poison ivy growing in / around both berry bushes and landscape flora.
You advertised a 'Chapin (?)' spot sprayer for herbicide. I missed the web address. Can you provide.  Ron
A: chapinmfg.com               or search amazon  for weed devil

Are they determinate or indeterminate
Q: I have a problem with my tomato plants nobody has really been able to help me with. I started around 15 Rutgers tomato plants from seed this spring and have them planted out into the garden now . They have been growing ok. The problem is I have no idea if they are determinate or indeterminate variety! the seed packet did not say and I have no other varieties to compare them to see which they resemble more and internet searches say that Rutgers can be either depending on the specific line of them?. I'm not sure how to prune them (if I should at all) since I've read removing suckers is only done with indeterminate tomatoes and will reduce production in(continued)
