Rhubarb 13 Oct, Genevieve (Australia - temperate climate)
Have grown rhubarb in a large pot with lots of manure and blood and bone added. Water pretty much everyday in the hot weather as it likes a bit of moisture. Added fine coir to my soil in the pot for water retention. Pretty much can stay in the pot for a year but this depends on big your plant is. I pull the large stalks for cooking which encourages the plant to put out more. Best of luck.

Potato 10 Oct, Sarah (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
We constantly find potatoes growing in our compost (usually green ones I've thrown in) so I have long since stopped buying seed potatoes! Potatoes that are just starting to green, I just peel til they're not green anymore and never had any side effects. That said, one of our dogs ate a rather green potato while she was a pup...the associated get bill made for a very expensive potato crop that year...!

What soil will gooseberries best grow in. I have managed to grow some from seed but they seem to wilt when they reach around 20/30 cm tall. I battle to get them to grow to full height and fruit.

Beans - climbing (also Pole beans, Runner beans, Scarlet Runners) 27 Aug, Tony (Australia - temperate climate)
If you r having problems with your scarlet runners flowering but not producing beans ,in late afternoons when the sun has gone ,give your vines a light misting with the hose ,making particular attention to fine spray all the flowers ,you will find this will work even after one or two applications ,avoid spraying if it's too hot ,and never in the heat of the day ,give it a go .Tony
