Broccoli 11 Oct, Patty Kipps (USA - Zone 7a climate): Does it get cold enough for long enough where you are? Broccoli needs cool weather.

Broccoli 12 Aug, Roland (USA - Zone 9b climate): Patricia, I experienced the same last year in zone 9b. Not a single head or side shoots. After six months I pulled the plants and put them in the compost. Nothing goes to waste in my garden.

Garlic 28 Aug, Jules Sturm (New Zealand - temperate climate): With all plants this method works & I'm not being sarcastic. Poke your finger 1- 3cm into soil & if soil sticks to your finger then it it moist .the old saying and rule of thumb is a thumb & & and a thumb nail ...that's a little bit of dirt left on your finger ....

Garlic 13 Jun, Michael Archer (Australia - temperate climate): Well, I thought that the little clove of garlic that I plucked 2 weeks ago was a bit odd, but today 13th June another fully matured single clove. Planted in early March . The rest look good and on time I think

Capsicum (also Bell peppers, Sweet peppers) 12 Jun, Corry (Australia - sub-tropical climate): new to vege growing. Have noted on several vege instructions "P" for sowing seed and "S" for plant undercover in seed trays. Could someone explain the difference to me please?

Capsicum (also Bell peppers, Sweet peppers) 13 Jun, Liz at Gardenate (New Zealand - temperate climate): Some seeds, e.g. capsicum, need more warmth or protection to germinate, so we suggest that they are started in seed trays or pots in a sheltered spot i.e cool greenhouse, covered patio or similar. Once established the seedlings can be planted out. Other seeds like broad beans can be sown direct, in the place where they will grow.

Luffa (also Loofah, plant sponge) 11 Jun, Wyndi (USA - Zone 7a climate): I live in southern Idaho (zone 7) We have had an incredibly cold, wet spring. It is now mid June, would it still be possible to have success planting seeds now?
Reply
Luffa (also Loofah, plant sponge) 24 Jun, Linda (USA - Zone 8b climate): Luffa need a very long growing season. It is said to need near 200 days. If you look for your first frost date then count back to today and see if you have enough days. Good luck!

Ginger 11 Jun, Taryna Koo (New Zealand - temperate climate): Young ginger will taste mild while old ginger will taste more fiery. When you harvest your ginger root, was it the 'young' or 'old' part of the root?

Ginger 10 Jun, ambrosio dante brito (Australia - temperate climate): I live in Perth WA, I like to know when is the best time to plant Ginger from Rhizome. Many thanks
Reply
Ginger 11 Jun, (Australia - temperate climate): Perth is temperate - in temperate it says can't grow in WA. If you read about ginger it says warm weather - so obviously you would plant in warm part of the year - like late spring early summer.

Luffa (also Loofah, plant sponge) 08 Jun, Linda (USA - Zone 9a climate): I have 3 Luffa plants potted , about 3” tall and healthy. They are ready to be put in ground. Now I am stuck. Full sun, part sun , keep wet, keep dry... central Florida on the river. Please help.

Luffa (also Loofah, plant sponge) 24 Jun, Linda (USA - Zone 8b climate): I also have 3 luffa plants. First year growing in north Florida. I put one in full sun, one in part sun and one in complete shade. They are all growing at the same pace but with one exception: the one in full shade has zero luffa. The other two each have 5 very large ones.
Reply
Luffa (also Loofah, plant sponge) 09 Jun, Liz (New Zealand - temperate climate): Luffa belong to the curcubit family, so you can follow advice for growing zucchini or pumpkins
