Sweet Potato (also Kumara) 02 May, Carolyn (USA - Zone 8a climate): A friend of mine gave me some sweet potato plants rooted and planted in soil before last winter. She told me to keep them and water occasionally and plant in April/May in North Texas. These little plants are about 6" high with multiple shoots from a center stalk. Do I plant the whole plant in a pot or cut off the shoots and plant? Confused? Thank you.

Cabbage 08 May, Anonymous (Australia - sub-tropical climate): A climbing bean could shade cabbage and it would not produce much. Depends where you plant the climbing bean in relation to the sun's position in the sky. Plant tall plants on the southern side of the bed.

Rhubarb 01 May, Julia (Australia - temperate climate): I planted rhubarb around 7 months ago, the leaves have grow huge and some are mottled and unhealthy. I know I am not supposed to harvest for the first year...so how do I treat the plant? Do I just leave it be, or do I need to trim it or remove leaves? Does the same stalk stay until harvest time? Please advise care of plant in first year of growing until harvesting time. Thank you so much! Warmest regards
Reply

Radish 01 May, Alice (Australia - temperate climate): My Grandfather always mixed radish seed with carrot seed in river sand and this help to thin out the carrots, not only because of the two types of seed, but because as you harvest the radishes - starting with the new shoots that are a great micro green, and this in turn thins carrots out :)
Reply
Radish 08 May, Anonymous (Australia - sub-tropical climate): Or just put sand with radish or carrots in a salt or pepper shaker and plant rows only about 3-4 cm
