Pumpkin 03 Aug, John Bushell (Australia - temperate climate)
Hi y'all, What is the reason that pumpkins should not be grown in the same plot as potatoes? How far separated do they need to be? Best wishes, John

Broccoli 02 Aug, Ron (Australia - temperate climate)
We just bought broccoli seedlings from our local hardware's nursery, but your info says plant in spring or autumn. Should we return them or is there somewhere they might grow, under the back patio in a pot with winter sun on them perhaps? Please help.

Broccoli 09 Aug, Ann-Marie (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Broccoli need cold to grow. Put them in the coldest spot in the garden. My broccoli is already going to flower but as flowers are edible i dont mind. You may find that you get very little from them this late in the season. Try approx 4 hrs of sunlight per day then the coldest part of garden for the rest of the day. Broccolini might be a better choice this time of year as you pick much earlier.

Ginger 25 Sep, Michelle (Australia - temperate climate)
Hi Sara, You can! I grew it for a couple of years in a pot when I lived in Panania (low-on-space-rental) and also the last few years in the Hawkesbury. It grows well in Sydney, we got a bumper crop from just 3 store bought pieces, harvested a year later. We would have gotten even more kgs if I have know it doesn't like direct sun, ours was a little sunburnt. We ended up making about 100 bottles of ginger beer and sharing them around :-) I'm going to plant again this weekend, close to a nice warm fence but out of direct sun. I'm also going to experiment with water loving herbs as a ground cover. I hope this will increase humidity and allow me a second crop for the space. Since ginger is upright, I can plant a companion ground-cover. Maybe strawberries or tarragon? Something that can handle lots of water. Cheers and happy gardening, Michelle

Just planting lots of different capsicum in next few days - seedlings. Previously have had lot of bugs attack them...after all Port Macquarie is bug central so would appreciate any hints - will put them near the parsley and basil that might help? Don't like sprays or poisons. Hope you can help thanks.

Water with seaweed solution this week, next week gogo juice and continue for a few weeks. I would apply one or two applications of liquid calcium to the seedlings and soil also.

Strawberry Plants 25 Jul, isabella (Australia - temperate climate)
Gypsum does work but it is not instant. I prepare a new area I want to plant with lots of gypsum six months before I want to plant it up. Then at 3 months before I dig it again and add really rich good compost. Finally when it comes time to plant I did it again and then plant. My garden gets lots of positive comments. Do no buy "doctored" gypsum where sand has been added. You can tell later if it has had sand added as the gypsum and the sand join together to make hard unusable lumps. The gypsum you buy should be 99 per cent all gypsum.

Snow Peas (also Sugar Peas, Mangetout, Chinese Peas) 19 Jul, Edna Sabile (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
I'm at Southern Highlands at Marulan, our temperature here is very cold always below 4 degree centigrade and a lot of times is minus below zero. I did not plant anything for the last 3 months because I'm worried with frost. Can really any of those plants suggested for those months survive the frost? Frost came so early as early as May so all my plants died. I want to start planting as suggested like onions, lettuce this month or next? What else i can plant?
