Frequently Asked Questions

Bodegold: What should I do if my plants get powdery mildew?

Powdery mildew is common on Bodegold as leaves stay damp and airflow is limited. Remove the most affected leaves, avoid overhead watering, and space plants so they don’t crowd; treat with sulfur or a potassium bicarbonate product labeled for powdery mildew and repeat per label if new spots appear.

Bodegold: How can I tell when it’s ready to harvest at ~70 days?

Harvest Bodegold when heads/roots reach full size for the variety and the tops show peak vigor but start to look less glossy, with outer leaves beginning to fade slightly. For best quality, pick on a dry day and avoid waiting until foliage collapses—overmaturity can reduce texture and flavor.
