Chives (also Garden chives) 08 Oct, (USA - Zone 7a climate)
They will be ready to harvest 7-11 weeks later, so in December/January The roots are still alive and they will begin new growth next spring.

Strawberry Plants 01 Oct, Anonymous (USA - Zone 8b climate)
I saved seeds from strawberries, planted them inside under lights, they sprouted after a long wait and are growing. Plants are tiny and growing very slow. How big should they be before planting outside? It's Oct 1st, zone 8b here. Thank you

Try late October. They should have 6-8+ leaves. Protect them from the sun the first week or two.

I live in the South Cariboo. I have been asking where to get Jerusalem Artichokes, many of my friends are interested in getting Jerusalem Artichokes, but no one seems to know where to get them. Is there easy access to buying them?

Radish 01 Oct, Hosea (New Zealand - sub-tropical climate)
Hi, I sowed some white radish in the end of July. Now they are blooming but roots are very small. Will the roots continue to grow? and what should I do for them?

I grew this plant from seed and planted them a few years ago. They grew very tall but did not flower yet and there are no tubers at all. Any suggestions on why there are no tubers to harvest after at least 2 years in the ground. Thanks for your help. Lynn

My Black Beauty eggplants look to be fully grown but have green stripes/tinge on the bottom.Should I wait to see if the green colour disappears or are they ready to harvest now? I'm on the Gold Coast

Eat them - don't let them become old. Better to pick a little smaller rather than really big.

Check harvest time in the notes - like 6 weeks or whatever it says.

If you grow broccoli you can eat the leaves. Choose middle to small leaves after the head has been harvested. This will encourage tasty little heads at each lateral.

Garlic 23 Sep, Sonya (USA - Zone 5b climate)
I would like to choose 2 types of softneck garlic. Any suggestions on which two to choose? I also heard about elephant garlic. If it will grow in 5B... I may just grow that type. ?????? Undecided!

Garlic 29 Oct, Kevin K. (USA - Zone 5b climate)
Sonya, unfortunately soft neck garlic will not survive the winter in our hardiness zone. That means we get to grow hard neck garlic such as purple garlic or porcelain (music) garlic bulbs. Fortunately we still have time if we hurry.

I thought my watermelons had died off but in the beginning of this month (September) they decided to start growing again any chance they will actually survive or am I wasting my time?

Asparagus 19 Sep, Chris Veenstra (Australia - temperate climate)
Have been away and have come home and asparagus is already up, do I cut if and start again or just harvest what comes up?
Reply

You can cut all the shoots/fern off. Any that are just spears you can eat. Cut them off each day or two. Enjoy!!!!!

Tomato 18 Sep, Tania from Hyde (New Zealand - cool/mountain climate)
I sow mine in late Sept in trays which i then put in the bottom of a large Sistema container with lid...I pop this out in the sun during day...moving lid around for heat and close it at night...if really cold pop in shed with a blanket....or do the same in the tunnel house....it double walls/protects...you can always throw a rug over the sistema for extra....in the morning undo the sistena and before long you have healthy plants. When planting out, i use cardboard boxes to cover at night, as less condensation and if really cold night.....pop that big Sistema over the cardboard box...really helps with protection. Had great sucess over the last few years. Also put sheep dags over the soil in the winter and dig them in before planting out...great microbiome and nitrogen for soil.

Marrow 17 Sep, Lina vennix (Australia - temperate climate)
How do I identify a male and female Mediterranean marrow flower to pollinate to get marrows? I found some old seeds that I have germinated in seed trays and don’t want to lose them as I have had difficulty in finding the right marrow for our traditionalMaltese dish. I plan to donate some to the seed bank to ensure furture generations can enjoy!
