Teaming With Microbes

Edible in Alaska


Listen Later

The guys are talking about all the rain happening in Southcentral Alaska recently, and Jonathan asks: Is too much rain bad for your garden? It turns out this is a nuanced question. For example, if your outdoor soil food web garden is healthy, rain shouldn't be too big of a deal. Just remember that too much water for indoor plants can be a bad thing.

After the break, the team discusses some abundant Alaskan wildflowers that are edible, including fireweed, dandelions, and watermelon berries, to name a few.

Finally, they answer some listener questions, one of which involves radishes—Jeff's favorite food!

All that and more on this week’s episode of Teaming with Microbes.
