Onion 23 Apr, hennie (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
typically root vegetables such as onions,carrots and beetroot can be grown year round , just ensure they have enough deep soil , and keep an eye on the moisture levels, after the bulbs started forming , and give them ample space between each plant , thinning is an essential function.

Asparagus 06 Mar, MOOKHOANE MAEMA (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
I would like to know how to grow asparagus, where to get the seedlings, when can I grow and at what temperature, lastly how long does it take to harvest and how? I live in Lesotho but the site could not list my country hence why South Africa since Lesotho is inside South Africa geographically like a kidney in a body. Thank you

Asparagus 30 Apr, Phillip (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
If possible purchase 2 yr. old "Crowns". These are asparagus plants (roots). There are a number ideas for how to plant them - just visit Youtube or Google for step-by-step pictures along with description of soil mixture and fertilization. Then wait another year before harvesting. Honestly I have never grown from seed. But in either case you are looking at a couple of years before you will have a decent crop.

Rocket (also Arugula/Rucola) 22 Feb, Bruce (South Africa - Dry summer sub-tropical climate)
I'm new to growing rocket, my question is - once you have harvested rocket, can you let it re-grow and harvest again, if so how many times can you harvest of the one plant or once you have harvested, must you replant
Reply
Rocket (also Arugula/Rucola) 30 Sep, Lindsay (USA - Zone 8b climate)
In Vancouver. Just pick 1/2 or 1/3 of the leaves and it will continue to regenerate. I've been doing that for months now. I pinch the flowers to prevent bolting but will probably let a few go so it can self seed for next year.
