Brussels sprouts 09 Oct, Mike (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Maybe let grow for another month and sees what happens. Possibly you should have planted quite a bit earlier. I have the same problem with savoy cabbage the last 2 yrs. Producing lots of leaves and no heart. Temps are now high teens at night and around 30 in the day - probably too hot for cabbage broccoli here.

Depending if you live in a cool or warm temperate climate, and what month you planted them in. It could be too late if it is to warm where you live, otherwise give it a bit longer to see if they produce.

Beans - dwarf (also French beans, Bush beans) 08 Oct, Geoff Kachel (Australia - tropical climate)
I have planted three separate varieties of dwarf beans in the past month with zero success. I've been told this is the wrong time of year for these plants, but I'm curious, wouldn't the seeds still strike? Everything else I've planted is growing really well, yet the beans won't even come out of the ground.

Beans can be a little tricky to grow. When you go to plant the seeds wet the soil the day before. Then plant the seeds and don't water again for 3-4 days. Be careful with the watering until they germinate - hot and too wet will rot the seeds.

I sowed the seeds back in August and they just started sprouting two weeks ago.

Beans - dwarf (also French beans, Bush beans) 18 Oct, Geoff (Australia - tropical climate)
I was going by the planting guide on the back of the seed packet, which, north of approx Qld/NSW border, said planting all year round. That doesn't seem to be the case, I tried too many varieties of seed in separate beds on a number of different times. Would shadecloth make a difference, or just leave it to next year?

It says last planting in July in Tropics. A few plants are a bit iffy to plant now. Over watering and heat and the seeds will just rot in the soil. Did a few up and see if they are rotten. Maybe try starting in shade. Sometimes it is a bit trial and error.

Tomatillo 16 Nov, Jennifer S (Australia - temperate climate)
I found tomatillo seeds online, The Seed Collection. I am just about to plant out my seedlings, along with a few heirloom tomato varieties today. Its the first time I have tried to grow these in Canberra, so fingers crossed!

New Gippsland Seeds in Silvan (near Lilydale) sell them Juanito. www.newgipps.com.au/product.asp?prodId=1964 I suggest you go there and look at what else they have. I was very impressed. I have no affiliation with them, incidentally, just loved their enthusiasm and range of stock.

Thyme (also Common thyme) 06 Oct, Vivienne (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Hi I have never had any luck with thyme as it always dies on me. Any suggestions welcome.
Reply
Thyme (also Common thyme) 10 Oct, Darren (Australia - temperate climate)
You haven't said how you are growing it; if in full sun, try part shade, or vice versa. Plenty of mulch, and water regularly. I live in a warm temperate climate, and the thyme has taken off, fighting for room with the sage.

Mulch around the plants to keep the soil cooler. When the plants have grown about 1' high hill the soil up around them. When another 1' higher, fertilise down each side and hill up again - then mulch them.

Requirements to grow something. A medium to grow in (soil), water, sun and fertiliser. Have a go.

Asparagus 05 Oct, Jacquie (Australia - temperate climate)
Hi, My partner and I have purchased a property in the Adelaide Hills and are keen to find out more about growing asparagus - not sure where to buy seeds etc can somebody point us in the right direction ? Thanks Jacquie
Reply
Asparagus 09 Oct, Mike (Australia - tropical climate)
Try Bunnings or some nurseries or look on the internet. Buy some crowns (9-12 mths old). Can start from seeds - will take a year longer though and it requires a lot of attention. I had up to 30 seedlings last year and only 6 survived.
Reply
Asparagus 08 Oct, Darren (Australia - temperate climate)
Planting asparagus from seed will take a lot longer before you get a crop, three years. Go to your local nursery and ask for asparagus crowns, which can then be planted out. This can still take up to 2 years to be productive.

Go to Vegetables and Herbs above and read about growing it in the TROPICS. Sounds like to live at the top end of Australia. Good luck.
