Tomatillo 11 Sep, Darren (Australia - temperate climate)
You can try some of the nurseries around Adelaide; Garden Grove or Virginia Nursery could have them. Otherwise, the Seed Collection lists tomatillo seeds online, but is currently out of stock.

Pumpkin 08 Sep, Renae (Australia - tropical climate)
My son and I planted two pumpkin seeds, I have harvested about 8 pumpkins all Kent's and they are getting bigger and bigger. For some reason we seem to have a butternut shaped pumpkin that has the coloring and pattern of a Kent. Could it be a crossbreed? How early is too early to pick them? I've had to throw a few unripened ones away not knowing.

Look how long it states to grow them and don't pick before then. The plant vines will start to die off. Best to grow into the winter months - they will mature slower and you will be able to store them longer. Read the notes here and on the internet.

Hi, I grow butternuts fairly successfully, usually sowing seed from late September. Last years crop took a good 6 months (early April) before i could harvest (i can usually harvest way earlier than this). My suggestion is to give them at least 5 months from sowing, but keep an eye on the vine, once that starts dying off your pumpkins should be ready to harvest.

What is the best manure for Rhubarb, dry or liquid
Reply
Rhubarb 11 Sep, Mike (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Depends which manure - read about them. Manure is a good soil builder. Low to mid strength fertiliser. Fresh manure better to make a water tea with. Old dry manure better to incorporate into the soil.

i live in Adelaide south, and sow tomato early September (i have a 6 Beefsteak and 12 Cherry in greenhouse now). I don't usually plant out seedlings till late November when they're a good 4 to 5 inches high. Having slightly colder soil where you are, i'd prob wait till early/mid December to plant seedlings.

Did you read her comment. Read it again. A certain nursery in a suburb of Brisbane.

Cape Gooseberry (also Golden Berry, Inca Berry ) 04 Nov, Ian (Australia - temperate climate)
I just bought a packet of the seeds and tossed in a pinchful per pot of seed raising mix, the seeds are soooooo tiny! Kept them in the shade, the occasional watering and after a long 4-5 weeks up they came! I now have six healthy plants growing in one of those above ground galvanised iron planter surrounds, they seem quite happy but at their tender age definitely hate the direct sun! I have tossed some 80% shade cloth over them and will stake lots of plastic mesh them to keep them all together and not trying to escape their garden!

As it says you can plant from July, I think it would be safe to plant out in the garden now. It will grow a lot better in the garden - more nutrients. Pity you didn't plant a week or so ago. Today is full moon night - plants really grow around the full moon.
