Rhubarb 11 Jun, I Cumming (South Africa - Humid sub-tropical climate)
I have moved to Waterfall in K ZN I have had very little success Previously I lived in ,Ekurhuleni (Edenvale) for many years where we had great success for over 40 years. The plants are attacked a by a voracious bug which looks like a bee. What can I do to eradicate this bug that feeds on the leaves which causes the plant to die and the tubers to rot. is the climate too hot or too wet. My son lives close to Ascot in England and has success with his Rhubarb George

Sweet Potato (also Kumara) 16 Oct, Marie (South Africa - Semi-arid climate)
Godfrey, did you know that you can harvest some of the leads and cook them like spinach? Watering depends on your soil type. Keep the soil moist, but never too wet, since your tubers will not.

I bought asparagus seeds, F2 UC172 I sowed the seeds in spring and have a lot of very fine feathery plants, they starting to make shoots that looks like spears, what do I do now? Will they mature, or do I have to cut the and spears and re plant them? I live on a farm in Grahamstown

Asparagus 28 Apr, Phillip (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
Leave the plants to grow & mature for another 2-3 years. You can trim back the ferns (to 5cm) either in the fall after they turn brown or at the beginning of spring.

When plants are still very small (after planting them in field) should the small peppers be removed for plant to grow a bit bigger and stronger?? the plants are about 10cm high and already have little peppers on, looking forward to hearing from you speedily, have a super day further regards Rita
