Radish 26 Jan, Joyce (USA - Zone 7b climate)
Does 1 seed produce 1 radish? Or does it grow in a bush? Only 1 person will be eating them and I don't want to grow too many.

The flowers are completely edible. Leave them on - they attract bees

Leeks 25 Jan, Ann (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
How do I save seed from my leeks. They are in full flower now (end of January) and I would like to have the next lot planted in the autumn. Thanks, Ballarat

Leeks 25 Jan, Paul (Australia - arid climate)
Depending on whether the stem is dry or not. If dry pinch off the head and scrunch seeds into a paper bag. If still green but seed head is fully formed and there are no longer any hover flys or bees still pollinating place a knee high stocking over it and peg closed to save any dry seed that may shake out. Then when stem is dry do the scrunch thing into a paper bag. Store all seed in a cool dry place.

do you remove the seeds off the cob to dry out or just leave them on the cob.

Lettuce 25 Jan, Fran (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
I've planted a number of lettuce types and all have grown well, and we've had a few meals from them, until we hit a heat wave recently, 7 days of over 35 degree heat. Now, I've just found out that lettuce goes bitter or bolts in the heat, which is what all varieties have done. Is there anything I can do to save it, or should I just feed it to the chooks and try again?

Lettuce 23 Mar, Juanita (Australia - tropical climate)
I would save as many seeds out of your bolting lettuce then feed the rest to your chooks as once lettuce has bolted you can't save it, also when you next plant try using 7.5cm thick aged bagasse/ sugar cane mulch keeps your ground temperature cold enough to stop bolting, never use yard clipping and mulch out of your own compost unless you have a thermometer to ensure it has reached over 65 degrees this kills any nasties and stops the risk of disease in plants. Hope this helps

Create a lettuce bed and create a partial shade using shade cloth, I prefer the beige on a roll back 1m above the bed and keep bed moist at all times during hot weather.......

Sage (also Common Sage) 25 Jan, Cass (Australia - temperate climate)
I have two sage plants growing near each other - currently only about 4 inches tall. On one plant only, the leaves seem to be being eaten by something which leaves a 'lace' type pattern on the leaves i.e. its not eating the leaf in its entirety, almost just nibbling away at the leaf between the veins, from the centre of the leaf outwards which leaves behind a 'lace' effect - quite unusual to see. Any feedback on what this is? how to treat? is it likely to spread to be non effected plant?
Reply
Sage (also Common Sage) 24 Mar, Queen (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Sage plants care Its probably eaten by ... Leaf Miner. The best way is to manually cut the affected leaf off and do not leave any traces as they reproduce in short time. Sage do not like moist soil. Avoid peat moss. Use top soil with Perlite. All the best and have fun gardening.

Rockmelon (also Canteloupe) 24 Jan, My (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
If I waited until it is ripe, ant/bird ate before I harvested it. I tried once to harvest before it is ripe, the melon tasted very plain, not sweet. So, how do I prevent bird or ants eat the rock melons before I harvest?

I find placing fake snakes and frogs in your garden help... just move it around the garden every now and then....

Pumpkin 23 Jan, Valerie (Australia - temperate climate)
Why do I have almost all male flowers and only one or two female. I only have 4 plants growing. Thanks
Reply
Pumpkin 14 Mar, (Australia - temperate climate)
Males come out sooner than females. If bees are looking a bit sad, and in doubt, hand pollinate them. also make sure good nutrition.

Rhubarb 23 Jan, robin (Australia - temperate climate)

I planted an eggplant last year 2013 July. It has produced quite a lot of fruits since November, but what will happen to the plant from February onwards? The chart on this website about eggplant showing blank (no S or T sign) from February to July?
