Brussels sprouts
PA
I am confused about when to plant brussell sprout seeds in my garden. This will be my first time growing them and I am not sure how to time them properly. It seems to be recommended to harvest them after frost as it makes them taste better so how long do they take to be ready to harvest roughly....

I am from India and I am farming lady fingers in 6 hectares. The lady fingers have powdery mildew disease. Will this disease decrease the yield? The plants look like they have white polish on the leaves. What is the reason for this disease and how do I control it?

I was considering adding some wood shavings to the soil in my back yard to try and loosen it a little, it gets very compacted and I would like to do something to make it a bit more manageable. Are wood shavings a good addition, what will they do to the pH?
