Onion 24 Jun, Cassie (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
And make sure you plant varieties that cope with your particular climate. Many varieties dont cope well with heat and will bolt to seed

Brussels sprouts 23 Jun, Colin Robinson (Australia - temperate climate)
I would like to be able to purchase some Brussel tops, as they make a great green to eat with a good roast and the green water makes a fantastic gravy. Do you know anywhere in NSW that I can purchase some? We live in Goulburn NSW

Asparagus 09 Jan, Bobbie Green (USA - Zone 9b climate)
Hi Mike... I'm in zone 9b, as well. I'm wondering if you decided to plant asparagus.... and if you did, how did it work out for you? I just bought crowns and hope to plant this week. I have a spot that is cooler than most of my property. Wish me luck!

Asparagus 06 Mar, Evan (USA - Zone 9b climate)
I put crowns in last summer and cut the canes down in the late fall. I now have first asparagus in March. Should I let them grow and not pick them?. No frost here. 1200 feet up and maybe 4 miles from the ocean in California. Fog at night in May-July but sun during the day. Warm to hot fall.

Potato 21 Jun, Cheryl Burke (Australia - temperate climate)
I live in Clarence Town NSW. TEMPERATE climate but we do get frosts. I have just bought some seed potatoes. Should I plant them now or wait until August? If I wait, do Ineed to put them in the sun to encourage them to shoot?

Put them in your pantry until late August and then plant.

Kohlrabi 06 Nov, Zodwa, Gauteng (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
Hi Phindile I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 5 years ago. Yesterday I came across an article about this kohlrabi plant. I also would like to know where to get the seeds of this plant. When I googled earlier I saw that Woolworths sells a bunch of this kohlrabi for R19,99; but like you I prefer to have the seeds so that I could plant it myself in my own garden. Please let me know if you get any positive responses.

Asparagus 18 Jun, Florence (Australia - arid climate)
We planted our asparagus in summer and although it is winter now, the ferns are still green. There wasn't any berries in autumn, Do we have to cut off the ferns or just leave them to die out?
Reply
Asparagus 24 Jun, (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Don't water them from now until late August and then cut them.

Eggplant (also Aubergine) 17 Jun, joe graham (Australia - temperate climate)
just a question my egg plant is still producing fruit. i live an hour north of Sydney. its the middle of June.its flowering like crazy and has about 10 on it ranging in size from tennis ball size to large grape fruit size.we are having mild sunny days and very cool nights down to 6deg is this normal or is climate change a factor in why its doing this. thanks for any reply or advice.

Eggplant (also Aubergine) 18 Jun, (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Climate is 30 years of weather for a particular area. Climate does not change from year to year. Year to year is variable temperature change. Both your plants eggplant and zucchini are warm/hot weather crops so if you are still having warm days then they would still produce as long as they have sufficient nutrient.
