Seed is readily available from seed companies like The Seed Collection, Greepatch, Eden Seeds, Green Harvest, etc. I think Yates also have it

Shallots (also Eschalots) 11 Jul, King J (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
"Peter Cundall's year-round planting and sowing guide for vegetables" ("suitable for Tasmanian and cool-climate conditions") on the ABC radio website says to sow shallots in May and plant them during June to August. I'm not sure what the distinction is supposed to be between sowing and planting shallots.

'Sowing' refers to seeds and 'planting' refers to bulbs or sets

Hi Trudy. I bought my horseradish root through ebay - a place in the Blue Mountains (NSW) - it's grown magnificently but it did take a while to establish.

Horseradish 12 Aug, Narelle (Australia - temperate climate)
For many years I bought a brand named Edal or perhaps Edel but so long since I've been able to find it where I live on the Central Coast. When available it was in the refrigerated section of the supermarket. So good you can eat it from the jar.

Rhubarb 11 Jul, Carole Leonard (Australia - temperate climate)
Can l grow rhubarb in a pot ? If so what is the best way to go about it?

Rhubarb 23 Jul, Jasmine (Australia - temperate climate)
I have had good success growing rhubarb in wicker bed pots (they are like a big self watering pot). I kept 2 plants in regular pots and they barely survived, but my plants in the wicker pots thrived. Google wicker pots if you haven't heard of them and there is plenty of good info on how to make them

Not recommended for pots. I tried over the years in Adelaide and had the most success in the ground.

Rhubarb like lots of manure, a good water supply and cool roots. If you can provide this in a large tub there is no reason why not

Horseradish 10 Jul, Mary Meyer (Australia - tropical climate)
My mother would grate approximagely equal quantity of raw horseradish and cooked beetroot which we would have with almost any kind of meat, espacially deli kind. If kept in fridge it can last for a while but we would use it up quickly.

This combination mixed with sour cream also makes a fantastic dip!

Basil 09 Jul, Jayne (USA - Zone 11a climate)
Hi, I'm in Zone 11a and need some clarification. For example regarding Basil, when you state 'P - Plant In The Garden' are you meaning plant seeds in seed trays in these months or to plant out young plants (that were seed sown in trays 4-6 wks earlier) in these months? Hope that question makes sense! Thanks. (P-Plant in garden means plant into the ground unless your local weather is not suitable - in which case, start basil in a seed tray and transfer later. - Liz)

Basil 03 Jan, Wendy (USA - Zone 6b climate)
Hi Liz; I used to live in Miami, Your best bet is to buy a plant and just use the shoots of the plant. Place in a small container with water until you see roots and then transplant to soil. Basil is a very strong plant making it easy to grow. The more sun it gets the strongest the flavor and aroma. Good luck

Basil 11 Aug, Janine (USA - Zone 10b climate)
I wouldn't recommend having basil in a spot that gets full sun at midday in the Miami summer. That's too much sun and will damage/kill it. I lost several basils that way. When gardening tips say

Basil 27 Sep, Janine (USA - Zone 10b climate)
(cont'd) "full sun", they usually don't mean full tropical summer sun.

Chilli peppers (also Hot peppers) 09 Jul, Allen Payne (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
I've planted chillies that keep flowering but no fruit, do you have an idea of what I'm doing wrong. They are healthy!
Reply
Chilli peppers (also Hot peppers) 19 Jul, muchaco (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Need to shake the pollen out of the flowers. Probably not many bees around
Reply
Chilli peppers (also Hot peppers) 15 Jul, Darren (Australia - temperate climate)
Try a little potash around the plants when flowering. Watered in, this should help promote fruiting.

Garlic 09 Jul, Kerry smith (Australia - temperate climate)
My Galic I planted started to shoot but then it died back. I though that the bulbs had rotted. When I went to dig them up last week they all have roots and small green shoots that have not pushed through the surface yet. I planted then at the end of may beginning of June and have covered then over with soil again. Will they grow I'm abit confused as to why the green shoots died back
