Capsicum (also Bell peppers, Sweet peppers) 28 May, Di (Australia - tropical climate)
I have one capsicum plant (came up from scraps thrown out), but grew beautifully and gave us two lovely sized capsicums. Will it refruit? or is that it's lifespan over?

Capsicum (also Bell peppers, Sweet peppers) 29 May, Kevin OBryan (Australia - temperate climate)
Hello Di, Like chillies, if you cut it back gently it will refruit if you are in a frost free area, But you are far better to plant new seedlings every year in spring. I am still picking lots of capsicums from bushes planted last October but they are now much smaller and take a long time to turn red. I should have pruned the flowers from January on wards . I will pick all the remaining green fruit and pickle them. They grow very easily from seed treat just like you would tomatoes. Happy vegy gardening.

Onion 25 May, Colin Campbell (New Zealand - temperate climate)
I planted onion seedlings 2 months ago. They all look healthy but I am concerned at the length of the tops--up to 30cm--which is causing some lifting of the bulb. Should I trim the tops back or leave as is? Your advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Cauliflower 03 Jun, Elizabeth (Australia - temperate climate)
I found that those beautiful yellowish butterflies, lay their eggs on the leaves and when they hatch they eat big holes in the leaves and sometimes in the actual cauliflower. I spray mine with water/dishwashing liquid.

Beetroot (also Beets) 24 May, annonymous (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
what is thinning?
Reply
Beetroot (also Beets) 26 May, Rach (Australia - temperate climate)
I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure it's when you plant a couple of seeds close together and then you have to get rid of some (the weaker smaller ones) to make room for the others to grow properly, so you literally pull out the ones that you're not gonna keep for the benefit of the ones that'll be left behind
Reply
Beetroot (also Beets) 28 May, Chris (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
Beetroot contain several seeds in each 'seed capsule', so you need to thin them out (remove some of the seedlings) as several shoots will grow from each capsule. It's the same with silverbeet. You can eat the ones you remove!

No why not use them as a support to grow some climber like sweet peas, beans, once these have finished then dig them out.
