Sweet Potato (also Kumara) 30 Jun, Ev (Australia - tropical climate)
I find that the purple ones grow the best in my garden. Problem is I have miles of plant and not so many tubers. Going to use some of the advice I have read on this page and feed with seaweed.

Luffa (also Loofah, plant sponge) 30 Jun, Karen Flakelar (Australia - temperate climate)
Hi while all my other gourd plants have died off over winter my luffa seems to be powering on as if it prefers winter and has lots of little luffahs and flowers coming on It doesn't even appear to be affected by frost Is this normal luffa behaviour?

Amaranth (also Love-lies-bleeding) 30 Jun, Dianne (Australia - tropical climate)
Just an idea for folks looking to get red garnet amaranth seeds... Mr Fothergills sells a pack of microgreens called Flavours Of West Europe, which includes a pack of red garnet amaranth, along with cress and morgan field peas. It was the only Amaranth variety that Bunnings seems to sell, but I also figured it would be worth growing cress and field peas as well to see how well they do in my current growing situation.

what Fert. do you use on your asparagus
Reply
Asparagus 26 Jun, (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Try using composed manure or compost. Any general fert would do. The ferns that have grown the last 6-8 months have put a lot of energy into the crown to supply nutrients for the coming crop.

Do you have to wait till the top has died down before harvesting? I'm not sure what to do as there is some older growth but one new stalk has come through.

And make sure you plant varieties that cope with your particular climate. Many varieties dont cope well with heat and will bolt to seed

Brussels sprouts 23 Jun, Colin Robinson (Australia - temperate climate)
I would like to be able to purchase some Brussel tops, as they make a great green to eat with a good roast and the green water makes a fantastic gravy. Do you know anywhere in NSW that I can purchase some? We live in Goulburn NSW

Asparagus 09 Jan, Bobbie Green (USA - Zone 9b climate)
Hi Mike... I'm in zone 9b, as well. I'm wondering if you decided to plant asparagus.... and if you did, how did it work out for you? I just bought crowns and hope to plant this week. I have a spot that is cooler than most of my property. Wish me luck!

Asparagus 06 Mar, Evan (USA - Zone 9b climate)
I put crowns in last summer and cut the canes down in the late fall. I now have first asparagus in March. Should I let them grow and not pick them?. No frost here. 1200 feet up and maybe 4 miles from the ocean in California. Fog at night in May-July but sun during the day. Warm to hot fall.

Potato 21 Jun, Cheryl Burke (Australia - temperate climate)
I live in Clarence Town NSW. TEMPERATE climate but we do get frosts. I have just bought some seed potatoes. Should I plant them now or wait until August? If I wait, do Ineed to put them in the sun to encourage them to shoot?
Reply

Put them in your pantry until late August and then plant.

I want to know where can I buy kohlrabi plant in south africa
Reply
Kohlrabi 06 Nov, Zodwa, Gauteng (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
Hi Phindile I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 5 years ago. Yesterday I came across an article about this kohlrabi plant. I also would like to know where to get the seeds of this plant. When I googled earlier I saw that Woolworths sells a bunch of this kohlrabi for R19,99; but like you I prefer to have the seeds so that I could plant it myself in my own garden. Please let me know if you get any positive responses.
