Rhubarb 13 Oct, (Australia - sub-tropical climate): You could do it. It would take a lot of looking after. A suggestion, buy a 200lt drum, cut it in half, put some holes in the bottom for drainage. Plastic 200lt drum on Facebook - market place.

Cucumber 12 Oct, kim (Australia - tropical climate): What is the difference between bush and lebonese cucumbers.

Cucumber 28 Dec, Mary (Australia - temperate climate): One needs a trellis and the other not. So a bush variety grows in a small space and the vine variety sprawls on the ground or you can use a trellis for vertical growing.

Potato 15 Oct, colleen (USA - Zone 10b climate): Not sure what part of the country you're in, but there is a garden blog I love called Homestead and Chill which is based out of California, the San Luis Obispo area, which I believe is also zone 9. As I recall the gardeners who run the blog have talked in detail about growing potatoes in their zone, and which types they've had good success with. You might want to look that up and see what they suggest. Good luck!

Potato 12 Oct, Anon (USA - Zone 9a climate): I assume you are 9a zone, and you are on the potato page, then the time to plant is at top of the page. Find out what varieties grow in your area- google it.
