You can grow in a pot, make sure it is a big pot. If chilli is going to grow 50cm make the pot that wide also.

Sounds like you live in arid desert country. If so it might not grow in those conditions. If you have better conditions than desert you could try. Google about growing it.

Garlic 07 Nov, Cici (USA - Zone 6a climate)
Other advise different from this is you can't just dry garlic for a day. Should be 2-3 weeks in shade with plenty of air circulation. Only way it will keep for 6-12 months depending on variety. I hang mine in an open shed/barn. Then trim off leaves and roots and store in cool dry place for long term storage.

You could dig up and dry for a day, but in storing them put them in an open tray only one bulb/clump deep. Don't store in a big clump - they will sweat and rot. Your suggestion is pretty spot on. I pull my shallot bulbs out and leave them in the sun for a week or two. Trim the top off and put them in a tray 40mm x 60mm about 50cm deep. Store in the shade so they have air flow around them.

Egg plant can grow to 1m wide so you don't want other plants growing close to it. Read the article here for what to grow near egg plant and what not to grow (potatoes).

What type of Strawberries can I plant in Zone 10A. so when I transplant, the crowns are already in proper placement depth in soil. Planted seascape everbearing bareroots but they all died.. pls advise. Thank you.

Don't cover with soil the growing tip part of the crown, you will kill the plant. Plant them and try and cover them with some shade for a week or so to help them to establish.

If you want a good crop buy new runner plants from a plant producer. Also read up about how to plant and grow them.

Squash (also Crookneck, Pattypan, Summer squash) 02 Nov, LORRAINE (Australia - temperate climate)
I have read article on planting the 3 companion plants together..have planted sweet corn & French runner beans & looking for a suggestion for something climbing for trellis behind Don't particularly like squash..
Reply
Squash (also Crookneck, Pattypan, Summer squash) 03 Nov, Anonymous (Australia - temperate climate)
My suggestion is plant them in separate areas, all three that is. I have just harvested a block of corn, there is no way I could have planted climbing beans amongst them. You would have to thin out the corn planting therefore effecting the pollination ability of the corn. Do you want small thin cobs of corn. I feel you would end up with a poor crop of each vegetable. Corn needs fertilising, beans don't need much, conflict.
