Asparagus 26 Nov, Vanessa Haines (USA - Zone 9b climate)
I planted asparagus seeds when my asparagus had seeds. They are now 8 inches tall, in a seeding tray outside, starting to yellow. Wondering if I dare plant them in a raised bed with full sun. The soils is fairly sandy. In the spring I had planted celery and one artichoke that has fully died off during the summer heat in metropolitan phoenix az area. Thank you for the advice ahead of time. My other option is maybe in the garage or patio with a grow light and heat lamp?
Asparagus 02 Dec, (USA - Zone 5b climate)
If yellowing, maybe give some fertiliser. Sandy soils dry quick so water more often. They grow a lot better in the ground but you need to look after them really well.

Watermelon 11 Nov, Alison (Australia - temperate climate)
About to plant some watermelon seedlings - do they tend to have one trailing growth or many? Should I cut any secondary growths off to help promote growth on a single length? This will also help decide where I plant them.
