Rhubarb 03 Apr, Peta (Australia - temperate climate)
My rhubarb continues to produce only very thin stalks, I have mulched, fed, and deep watered but nothing seems to encourage thicker stalks. What could the problem be?

Rhubarb 22 Apr, Tempest (Australia - temperate climate)
One of my rhubarb plants is the same. My mother said it was because the roots weren't thick/big enough yet. She reckoned with continued care (water, compost/chook manure, appropriate sunlight), the roots would grow and the stalks get thicker. She advised me not to take any of the slim stalks off because they were helping the rhubarb gather energy. I'm not yet at a point where I can tell you if it's worked, but thought I'd share what I've beenmtold anyway.

Thyme (also Common thyme) 04 Sep, Norma (Australia - temperate climate)
Nicoletta, I Google, like "Thyme and it's healing benefits" for anything I want to grow, I google for all facts, I live in a unit and have very little garden space, precious little space with sun. Also health needs, and I like the natural way. Norma PS, everyone, I searched everywhere for Horseradish root, or plants. Found 2 at the market, when it is established, I will gladly share pieces of my plant roots, you pay postage. I'm in Toowoomba. Australia only, can't share with WA, sorry.

I don't know about thyme but 'Gotukola' is said to help with arthritis. Botanical name - Centella asiatica. It is very easy to grow. Look it up on the internet for more info. All the best. Bob

Can beetroot be grown in East Africa, particularly in Uganda?

Beetroot (also Beets) 13 Apr, Bob Dobbs (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Yes, beetroot can very definitely be grown in Uganda. I grew up in Sri Lanka, which has a similar climate to Uganda in many ways - and beetroot was, and is, very popular there. All the best, Bob.

Mint (also Garden mint) 31 Mar, James L (Australia - temperate climate)
My guess is that its a bug called leafminer, while common in citrus trees it is known to affect other plants. Ive had it on cabbage, mint and rocket. Yates success is a good product to use

Try feeding fortnightly with Yates Thrive flower and fruit soluble fertiliser. I have never had problems with lack of heat. Also make sure you keep your jalapenos away from any other member of the capsicum family ad they may cross breed and produce fruit that is not consistent with its original description.

'Cross breeding' can only affect plants of the next generation ie the offspring of your current jalapeños

Tomato 30 Mar, Mike (Australia - temperate climate)
Feed with nitrogen rich fert. You can use store bought liquid fert. for quick fix or dig in manure around the base of each plant. There are lots of ways to help boost the minerals in soil, Google is your friend.

Capsicum (also Bell peppers, Sweet peppers) 30 Mar, Alex Clifton (Australia - temperate climate)
Hi, I am having trouble with a crop of capsicum. Despite fertilizing with Nitram several times as my crop gets older their leaves and stems are becoming floppy. Can anyone help me?
Reply
Capsicum (also Bell peppers, Sweet peppers) 31 Mar, Lorna (Australia - temperate climate)
Hi Alex and in the same climate zone as you. As your capsicums plants get bigger we stake them up by putting a stake at each end of the row and run string between them, run a small loop around the plant near the top and tie to the string ties, as the capsicums tend to weigh down the stems. If you are experiencing a lot of heat as we are with 30oc plus heats they may need more water too. We fertilize with Seasol once a fortnight and give them a side dressing of AG lime at the same time. Capsicums are a huge lover of calcium so their vegetables grow with lovely thick walls or alternatively put some washed crushed egg shells around the base will work too. Hope they perk up for you.
