Winter is just around the corner, which means that I'm outside planting clothes of garlic and broccoli late into the evening as the sunsets, braving the cold elements as winter sets in, which actually brings us today's sponsor, Element.

You might remember that this summer, Elements sponsored us with their zero sugar electrolyte drink mix, which is perfect for gardeners or really anyone who likes outdoor activities.

But guess what? They're back with some delicious winter flavors, the chocolate medley.

Every order of the chocolate medley includes three great flavors. 10 chocolate raspberry, 10 chocolate

chai, and 10 chocolate mint. My personal favorite is the chocolate chai because I like a little bit of

spice with my chocolate. But really the great thing about element is that the mix provides a meaningful dose of electrolytes free of sugar, artificial colors,

and any other dodgy ingredients. It's no wonder the element is used by a wide community of people

who need to replenish their electrolytes after a hard day's work, including us gardeners, athletes,

and even navy seal. It's really perfect for anyone on a mission to restore health through hydration.

intro of this episode, because it's actually not a disease.

It is what is known as an a biotic disorder and this of course would be blossom endrot.

Susan, I think I probably saw you raise your eyebrows there when I said disease because this is a common misconception is people think that this is a specific you know, specific problem that perhaps a biological

of some sort is, is causing on tomatoes. Susan Moverhill back on the show, author of the new

book, The Vegetable Garden Problem Solver Handbook, I don't know about you, Susan, but this is the one,

I think you see the most sort of viral kind of mythology about, because tomatoes are just a popular crop,

right? And so when you see that blossom and rotting, all sorts of very weird remedies are

proposed. And so I figured why not start out with a definition of what actually is this disorder?
