Rhubarb 15 Jul, Sam (Australia - tropical climate)
Not recommended for pots. I tried over the years in Adelaide and had the most success in the ground.

Rhubarb 14 Jul, John (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
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)

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

(cont'd) "full sun", they usually don't mean full tropical summer sun.

I've planted chillies that keep flowering but no fruit, do you have an idea of what I'm doing wrong. They are healthy!

Need to shake the pollen out of the flowers. Probably not many bees around

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

Kale (also Borecole) 07 Jul, Mary (Australia - temperate climate)
Grow as much Tuscan kale as you can and make kale chips. I tear the kale into roughly 2 inch squares, put it into a bowl with olive oil and gently coat them. Then separate them, put them in your dehydrator (I only use an excalibur) and dry them till they are crispy. Lay them flat, salt them with pink himalayan and put them in a bowl on the table..I guarantee they will all be gone in 5 minutes..delicious!

Cape Gooseberry (also Golden Berry, Inca Berry ) 06 Jul, GARY THOMPSON (South Africa - Semi-arid climate)
are gooseberry seeds for sale available, or can one simply re-plant a ripe fruit to restart new seedlings? I just happen to have discovered a few plants on the property I'm currently renting.

It says 35-60 cm apart. I would suggest plants 40-50 cm between them and rows 40-50cm apart.

John, just looked up the net for growing turmeric and noted your comment on horseradish. Absolutely love the stuff but was unaware I could grow it. I would love to be able to get some from you and am willing to pay for it and its postage too if you have any left. Thank You Val

Cape Gooseberry (also Golden Berry, Inca Berry ) 04 Jul, Bea (Canada - Zone 6b Temperate Warm Summer climate)
I've been growing ground cherries for a few years in Halifax. I bought the seed from Annapolis Seed. It is a milder, paler version of cape goose berries. They are good but not as tasty as CGBs. It grows in a husk exacty as CGB but the fruit is very pale, not at all orange like CGB. This past winter I bought some CGB fruit from Pete's fruitique and kept the seed from one berry. It germinated and grew VERY well. Today, July 3, I have a ground cherry and cape gooseberry growing in pots side by side. The CGB has darker green leaves and is a larger plant. The ground cherry has lots of flowers and a few emerging husks. Haven't noticed flowers on the CGB yet. Keeping my fingers crossed they will appear soon and bear lots of fruit. As far as I'm aware, both of these plants are annuals, not perrenial. As is the Sunberry (called Wonderberry in UK). I got this seed from Annapolis Seed too. My first time growing it, but supposed to be similar to blueberries. The plant is only about a foot tall but bushy with lots and lots of flowers.

I grew sunberries a few years ago. Quite prolific. Birds ate a lot, and a lot self seeded and troubled me as weeds for several years... I am a bad weeder! They are no match for a real wild blueberry as I'd hoped. I grew tomatillos, and ground cherries in different years. Could not eat the tomatillos fast enough, and we had other garden items that tasted better! But the ground cherries didn't produce much and we liked them. Go figure. I know they grow around here, northern Nova Scotia. I am going to try cape gooseberries.. looks like a strong and productive plant. Thanks to all for info posted here.

I have 36 tiny Inca berry seedlings emerging from little peat pellets as of today (March 15). I wonder how large they are likely to get before I can transplant them to a cold frame in about eight weeks? In particular, what size pots should I buy for them? Advice will be appreciated!

Onion 03 Jul, Paris (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
I'm about to start growing onions from seeds and it says keep them under cover until early spring when they are ready to be planted out, I'm just wondering exactly what undercover means. Does it mean inside undercover or just out of direct sunlight outside. "Undercover" is very vague and I don't want to mess these up.
