All beets (root ones) are better if sown direct into the ground. They germinate fairly readily.

Tomato 26 Oct, Felicity (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
Would love your Tips for growing tomatoes in the cooler climate of the Strathbogie ranges in Victoria. Approx 300 m above sea level We are wondering if we need plastic "igloos" to protect ? And any varieties that would be better suited to this climate Thanks !

Tomato 18 Nov, John (Australia - temperate climate)
You could try starting off seeds inside in the base of an egg carton in September. That will give you a head start. The soil temperature needs to be 15-17 degrees for them to thrive, usually end of October or early November. Alternatively plant seed of short season varieties like Stupice (60 days). Most varieties that originated in the northern states of America, Canada or Europe will be suitable for a short growing season. Planting them in a sheltered position on a North, North-East or East situation will also help.

Yes very frustrating not to be able to buy a Horse radish plant in South East Queensland,, The shop bought horse radish cream , is very poor quality,
Reply
Horseradish 18 Nov, John (Australia - temperate climate)
Horse radish will be in leaf by now. You should be able to get it from places like Green Harvest' online. I am happy to send you a few pieces of root from my plants if you can't find it. Reply to this email if you want some. It is very easy to grow from pieces of root. just plant them with the thickest end level with the soil and they will soon sprout. Trust this helps.

Onion 25 Oct, Trish (Australia - temperate climate)
Hi - I want to use the seed from my onions to plant for the next round. How should I do this?
Reply
Onion 27 Oct, Tempest (Australia - temperate climate)
Leave your best/biggest onion(s) to go to seed. It may take a while, but it's worth it to have all the extra seed. My friend did this but wasn't able to harvest the seed when it was ready - she now has lots of onions popping up around the original onion. Best excuse for less effort! ;)
