Will sweet peas grow in North Queensland

Peas 16 Mar, Liz (New Zealand - temperate climate)
First ;( just so everyone understands) - Sweet peas are not edible. They also like cool weather , so Nth Queensland is probably not suitable.

Rhubarb 15 Feb, Cassie (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
Also rhubarb is a heavy feeder and evolved in cooler temperate climates. It does not like its roots to get hot and being in a tub in a hot climate might be impairing irs growth

Rhubarb 10 Feb, Another gardener (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Rhubarb needs full sun and tolerates light shade. As I have outside garden beds I don't do pots. Pots need a lot more attention to soil requirements and watering. In most cases plants will survive in hot weather if watered regularly and if need be some shade. You say in a tub, does it have enough drainage.

If you set your climate to summer rainfall and look in tomatoes, it is right in front of you, plant SEPT TO MARCH.

Where can I buy sequoia potato seedlings?
Reply
Potato 06 Feb, Anon (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
You actually buy seed potatoes. That is actually a potato to plant not a seed.
Reply

Look up seed selling companies, nurseries, farm produce agencies.

Rockmelon (also Canteloupe) 04 Feb, Vicki (Australia - temperate climate)
I managed to grow two rockmelon vines. The season is now coming to an end. Do you rip the vines out at the end of the season? Or leave them dormant until next year?
Reply
Rockmelon (also Canteloupe) 10 Feb, (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
They are annual plants.

Asparagus 03 Feb, ASHWANI BHATNAGAR (Canada - Zone 8a Mild Temperate climate)
Hi, I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I want to start growing Asparagus in my very small backyard to start with. I am looking for someone who can guide me. I am ready to pay consulting fees. Please advise. Best Regards, Ash

You can absolutely grow asparagus in Vancouver. Start with a year old crown, make sure there is no grass or other weeds in the space to compete with it and plant it deep - usually the crown will come with directions, but approximately 8 inches deep. you will be able to harvest a bit in a couple years and loads within 5-10. This is what worked for me in Saskatchewan so you shouldn't have any issues.

Asparagus 01 May, Domhnal MacMathghamhna (Canada - zone 4a Temperate Warm Summer climate)
Asparagus can be notoriously difficult to harvest so I recommend going on the internet and asking your question, including your zone information.....you'll find countless sites that discuss growing this challenging vegetable.

Asparagus 26 Oct, Anonymous (Canada - Zone 6a Temperate Warm Summer climate)
Asparagus is simple to harvest. The shoot/spear comes out of the ground and when it is 6-12 inches high, cut it.
