Beetroot (also Beets) 11 Mar, Sally Su (Australia - sub-tropical climate): Hi Adriana, You can plant beetroot almost all year round in a temperate climate except for 2 months which are May & June. So you have the rest of March and April to have a go, then you will have to wait until July. Happy sowing, Sally Su.

Watermelon 08 Feb, Sue (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate): I'm grew watermelon in my garden, it started growing but now the leaves are turning from green to yellowish brown. Does it need a lot of water or not , please let me know.
Reply
Watermelon 17 Mar, Bee-Pie (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate): Yellowing leaves are a sign of nitrogen deficiency. Fertilize with cow manure. If your watermelon plant has yellow leaves and the fruits are beginning to rot, Southern blight may be to blame. There is nothing you can do for Fusarium Wilt but remove the plant from the garden.

Tomato 09 Feb, Cecile (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate): If I remember correctly, moths lay their eggs in the flowers of the tomato plant, so as the fruit develops from the flower, the eggs mature inside the growing tomato

Chilli peppers (also Hot peppers) 04 Feb, Mira (Australia - temperate climate): I recently purchased a chilly tree, currently about 40cms tall, will it grow if planted into the ground? We live in Central Gippsland. How tall will it grow?
Reply
Chilli peppers (also Hot peppers) 06 Feb, Bert (Australia - temperate climate): Compare it to its relative, tomato bush. Depends on the type of chilli. You will have lots of fruit probably and my wife reports they seem to even get hotter when left in the freezer.
Reply
Chilli peppers (also Hot peppers) 06 Feb, Nate. (Australia - temperate climate): It will grow in the ground but most likely die in frost. You can plant in the ground then pot up in around the end of April. Keep it out of frost. Then in mid August to September you can plant in your garden again after the last expected frost. If you have a north facing window with good sunlight you can leave it in the pot for now then bring it inside for winter next to the window. I would now save the ground planting until next spring. The height depends on species/variety. Almost all chillies will grow bigger in the ground though.

Peas 04 Feb, Jan Albert Du Preez (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate): When can i plant dry peas in bethlehem?
Reply
Peas 15 Jun, hennie (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate): peas are a cold weather crop which in theory means that they can grow in winter an are very cold hardy , i grow them right through the year. if the temperature is moderate you should be able to plant them now. if however you are in a frost prone area i suggest that you add frost protection by adding floating row covers. hope this helps.

Rockmelon (also Canteloupe) 04 Feb, Melanie (Australia - temperate climate): I've now had two seasons of rockmelons but I managed to pick them perfectly ripe each time! Its very exciting growing my very own rockmelon! In our garden there was a lot of fretting about when to harvest...... I did a lot of internet searching and they all said when the melon is no longer green between the veins, but that's not quite true as I have noticed even the ripe ones in the shops are still green between the veins. I agree with John when they start to smell sweet, feel heavy, the stem attaching them to the plant dries out and the green between the veins fades from the bright green to starting to be a dried out dusty looking green. Hope that helps!
