Hi Ann ... I'm interested in the yams, any chance can get more info on this - where I can get some and how you plant them in sub-tropical climate?

Rocket (also Arugula/Rucola) 07 Dec, Bev (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
Why did my rocket go straight to flower and seed after planting

Rocket (also Arugula/Rucola) 10 Dec, Hamsa (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
When it gets hot, rocket goes to seeds, collect the seeds when they dry and sow them in autumn and you will have rocket in autumn, winter and spring

Probably to do with the season (end of growing season). I have had coriander growing for the last 6-8 weeks or so - it receives plenty of water and the soil is fertile and it is going to seed now. Some plants only have a short life. Maybe plant it earlier next year.

Is it possible to grow parsnips in the north of Thailand

Try and grow it in the cooler time of the year. Google growing parsnips in Thailand.

Jerusalem Artichokes (also Sunchoke) 07 Dec, Leanne (Australia - temperate climate)
I live in wa and found some shriveled up chokes at my local iga. I planted them and thought they had died but eventually they popped up and grew. I planted out all the tubers the next year and kept expanding my crop.That was 3 years ago. This year I have planted close to 200 tubers and gave away many more. They grow well here, just need to keep them watered in summer and you will be rewarded. To store them I layer the chokes with coarse sand in a bucket with a lid and give them a spray of water if the sand gets really dry. I am happy to share them if you live in perth.

Do i need to stake capsicum

Yes you do... If they are left, the plants will snap off as the upper fruit enlarges and ripens. Especially if there is any wind.

Rhubarb 04 Dec, Manfred (Australia - temperate climate)
I have a rhubarb plant and the leaves are turning yellow and red, what is wrong here.

Rhubarb 05 Dec, Mike (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Try and work out if you have the green leaf or the yellow leaf variety.

Rhubarb 04 Dec, Geoff (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
My rhubarb has been doing very well for a few years, just north of Sydney, in raised beds. I split them up last year and they have produced heaps of stems. In late November the leaves became dark and hard and crinkled - but stems look OK. I can't find any disease that would cause this. Is it disaster? I have kept water up to them, and the soil was well manured when I replanted them.

Did you have any really hot dry days - like a dry hot NW wind. This could/would burn them.

Zucchini (also Courgette/Marrow, Summer squash) 04 Dec, Robert (Australia - temperate climate)
I have 2 plants that are growing well, I have one zucchini that matured,but now the small fruit are turning yellow before the flowers open and fall off. Any advice please.

Mix one cup of milk to 2 litters of water and put 2 cups of the mixture into the base of each plant. And you need to use this lime sprinkle two hand full around the base of the plant before watering.

Dolomite lime. It's a good source of calcium. For some reason the link in my previous reply was deleted.

Mine are doing the same. From past experience I know that no fertilisation is taking place. Unfortunately the flowers are remaining closed so you can't even do it yourself!

I posted here in the pumpkin section - the female flower only opens one day and is shut by mid afternoon. So the bees or you have a very limited time to pollinate the female flower. Zucchini pumpkin cucumbers are from the same family so maybe this applies to all these plants. If you don't have bees then you need to look each day to see when the female flower opens. It takes approx. 12 visits by a bee to pollinate a pumpkin female flower.
