Is there a possibility to create an enclosed greenhouse environment to grow taro in 6b zone? If so would I need to adjust growing time?

They generally give other names in the heading. Jam Plant.

Rosella (also Queensland Jam Plant, Roselle) 24 Nov, Maree (Australia - tropical climate)
Rosella is a shrub that is prolific in tropical gardens in Australia. The red flowers are usually used in making jam but I think you could make a nice cordial out of it. But you need a lot of flowers.

Kohlrabi 14 Sep, Allan (New Zealand - cool/mountain climate)
I direct sewed 15 Mar 24. The seed came up really quickly and I progressively thinned. They should have been ready in 60 days but they reached winter and never formed a bulb. Now its spring and whilst there is a little swelling at the base the plants are actually going to seed. Ive been using the tops and leaves in casseroles. Not sure why they never formed the bulb, possibly overcrowding??

Sage (also Common Sage) 09 Sep, Kailee (USA - Zone 5a climate)
I have a garden indoors. With grow lights. How will that affect sage growth? I have killed one plant outdoors because of the watering cycle, and I need to know how to grow this plant indoors. Because I'm more active with my indoor plants. And I have a plant that someone in my family didn't water for 3 weeks, I'm trying to save it. Does anyone have any answers on how I should encourage its growth again?

where CAN I BUY YCON SEEDS PLEASE
Reply
Yacon (also Sunroot) 31 Oct, John (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Yacon grows from its tuber like a sweet potato. You can buy Yacon plants at Daley's nursery online, they are popular though so if you see them in stock you better grab them. I missed two years in a row, but I finally got some this year!

Luffa (also Loofah, plant sponge) 03 Sep, Jim Wolff (USA - Zone 10b climate)
I love to eat the young fruit when they are about 1" to 1.5" in diameter. But after that, let them grow until they turn completely brown on the vine. Then pick the brown (dried) fruit and soak in water a couple of minutes. The skin will peel off very easily after it has been soaked. If you do not soak them first, the skin will be more difficult to get off.

Garlic 03 Sep, Arla (USA - Zone 10b climate)
I planted my garlic cloves in July. In Southern California I know that's probably not the right time to plant them, but it doesn't get cold here. They've already started shooting out green shoots, and I'm not sure if I should leave it just keep growing or if I should cut those shoots off to stop it from growing for now. I'm assuming I should not harvest it until like next spring. Can you offer advice on what I should do now to keep the garlic growing so that I can harvest it next spring. I'd appreciate anybody's help. Thank you

Artichokes (Globe) 01 Sep, (Australia - temperate climate)
I have three glove artichokes plants which did well last year. I cut the top off at the end of the season and left the roots and about 50cm stem. Will they grow again this year ?? Thanks
Reply
Artichokes (Globe) 02 Dec, Jen (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
YES, the globe artichoke is another come again food... you will see new shoots from the base of the large stems.... you can either dig out and plant in a different location as you may have noticed they grow tall and wide... so need a bit of space even for you to access to cut the heads off for cooking. ALSO I have a few that have grown from one of the many gone to seed heads!

Strawberry Plants 26 Aug, Maggie (New Zealand - temperate climate)
My strawberry plants had vigorous growth during winter but the leaves look like wild strawberries. Now looking very sad and limp. Do I need to dig these up and replant new ones.

Replant each 2-3 years.
