Question
I have a yellowish fluffy substance around my green bean, tomatoes, and radishes. Can you please let me know what this is and if it is harmful to eat my vegs?

Answer
Hi Jennifer, slime mold, most likely- they run the gamut from the consistency of mousse to that of a gummy bear left out in the rain for a few days- they're both gelatinous, and a bit fluffy.
they're harmless, rare, and really kind of cool- they creep, and look like tiny rainbow versions of 'the blob' I like the orange ones best...

but it's ok if you scooped it up and tossed it, you're not going to upset the environment or anything.  You can rid your garden safely with a weak solution of Atomic Grow sprayed on your plants and the mold will go away.  It is the garden soil breaking down and it will not hurt you.  kathy
