The plant that you describe fits the description of garden sage which is commonly used in stuffing and poultry seasoning.

Burdock (also Gobo (Japanese Burdock)) 07 Sep, Allan (Australia - temperate climate)
When I was a boy growing up in England we had a lovely drink called 'dandelion and burdock.' but I have never seen it in Australia. As you show how to grow burdock in your email, maybe you could comment on this wonderful drink. Have a nice day people, Allan.

What makes watermelons to be sugarless

Watermelon 03 Nov, Bee-Pie (South Africa - Humid sub-tropical climate)
Watermelon is a desert plant and needs full sun. Watermelons need to produce a lot of leaves to make enough sugar to produce sweet fruit. To do this they need a constant supply of water. It could also be to a nutrient deficiency in your soil.

Zucchini (also Courgette/Marrow, Summer squash) 01 Sep, Elaine (USA - Zone 9b climate)
I tried growing zucchini in raised beds this summer. Followed all the instructions here. They produced 2 or 3 fruit per plant then started dying. Yellow leaves, soggy stems. Maybe I over watered? I gave each plant about a litre of water per week. It’s also been very hot (90F+ constantly from the beginning of June) When you say plenty of water, how much is plenty?

The most likely culprit was squash vine borers. They bore into the base of the stem and eat the plant from the inside. You will notice that the leaves aren't getting nutrion and will turn yellow/brown. Production will slow down and the roots will start to get squishy and gross. Finally, the plant will fall over and die.

Hi Elaine, I had a similar problem this year with my zucchini. The plant never grew much, and didn’t produce any fruit. The temperature was very high 105s for the peak growing time in my area. I am have my fingers crossed we will get a few squash before it gets cold. I am going to try and plant mine early next year and hope they get started producing before the heat sets in. Post if you find an info about plants not producing. Cheers. Naomi

Ginger 01 Sep, Marlene (Australia - temperate climate)
I live in Perth WA. I planted my ginger over a year ago. The leaves are turning yellow. I have quite a few healthy plants in a half barrel pot. My question is:Do I need to dig up the whole lot or can I cut off a piece and replant the rest of the rhizomes? We are moving into summer.

What does it mean to plant under cover? Inside, or under a roof, or under one of those plastic covers like a mini-greenhouse? Thank you!

Out of the sunlight. Google about it.

Rhubarb 29 Aug, sally (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Hello, I have a very healthy rhubarb growing and it is gigantic. Leaves are big as elephants ears. I have thick long healthy stalks but they are green. I have slight pinkish tint at lower end of stalk but rest is green. It is about 5 months old and has grown amazingly, but I have pulled 1 stalk and cooked it, it had no taste whatsoever.

Rhubarb 29 Aug, Becky (USA - Zone 3b climate)
(i live in southwest MN in the summer and winter in Arkansas. )It’s September and I just bought some rhubarb to plant in zone 3b-4. Can I plant now in September and leave them do I need to stay and water them continually or should I take them back down south with me and take care of them and plant in the spring back in zone 3b-4. Thank you for your help.
