Horseradish 28 Dec, Peter Collis (New Zealand - temperate climate)
Hi Keith, Like you, I am also keen to get some horse radish plants as the stuff you can buy here is only the creamed sort and a bit bland. Did you have any luck finding a source?

Capsicum (also Bell peppers, Sweet peppers) 10 Nov, Beth (Australia - temperate climate)
I bought some tall leggy capsicum seedlings. Can I plant the deep into the soil like tomatoes or should the soil be at the same level?

Capsicum (also Bell peppers, Sweet peppers) 11 Nov, anon (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
You probably could. Don't buy leggy seedlings.

Tomatoes planted deep produce more roots up the stem that is in the soil. Caps probably don't meaning the root system is 4-6-8

When planting the roots deep remember you have to be able to get water down that far when watering.

Kohlrabi 10 Nov, Duana (Australia - temperate climate)
Hi, my kohl rabi have failed to form the swollen tuber. They are 30cm tall and long stems, have been in the ground for 10 weeks, planted out from seedlings I raised myself and look really healthy. In raised garden bed, full sun, new soil and surrounded by successful snow peas, lettuce, broad beans and radish crops. What have I done wrong ?

Rhubarb 07 Nov, Phil (Australia - temperate climate)
Is rhubarb best planted in garden or pot

Rhubarb 08 Nov, Another gardener (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
The difference between pot and outdoor garden is how much time do you have to look after a pot. Watering and fertilising more often.

Watermelon 12 Nov, Another gardener (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
Hi I'M from Australia. I comment on Aust and NZ Gardenate questions. This website tells you when to plant and provides information about growing the crop. If there is not enough info here go onto GOOGLE and search. Check the calendar about when to plant - it is that simple. Or find a plant on the Vegetables and herbs tab. (Find your zone on the Climate zone tab, then make sure that is showing at the top of the plant page to get the correct information for your area)

Yacon - try other seed selling companies on the internet or contact Boondie Seeds and ask when will she have them back in stock. On her website go to vegetables then other seeds and you will find Yacon.

Snow Peas (also Sugar Peas, Mangetout, Chinese Peas) 05 Nov, Dale (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Have just noticed a few snow peas coming up.They self seeded.Do you think they will survive the heat of spring / summer? I hope so ,but doubt it very much...as it is going to be 36 degrees later this week. Must have popped up with that little burst of rain the other week.The area is fairly well mulched too. Also, how can I get rid of green shield bugs on tomatoes?
Reply
Snow Peas (also Sugar Peas, Mangetout, Chinese Peas) 07 Nov, Another gardener (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
They may grow alright. The mulch will keep the soil temp down a bit and if you have anything that can provide some shade protection when it is in the 30's. Some protection for some of the day, like a shade cloth wall. Keep the water up to them. My peas are producing now and for another week or two - temp today 33.

Jerusalem Artichokes (also Sunchoke) 04 Nov, STEPHANIE LIEBERT (New Zealand - temperate climate)
Hi I bought some Jerusalem Artichoke tubers on trade-me a few months back and they have been dormant in the ground since about June. I am in Auckland, and the spot they are in is sheltered and sunny. NOTHING has come up yet. Should I worry?

Try checking here before planting anything. You planted early winter instead early spring. This is what happens when people plant out of season. If you had a wet winter they may be rotten. Dig around the tubers to see how they are.

What fertiliser do you use and where do you put it. Also how often do you water?
Reply
Watermelon 05 Nov, (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
It is best to prepare your soil and add the fertiliser (compost, manures, in-organic fert , organic fert) when preparing it unless you want to use these soil enhancers that have very little NPK.
