Kohlrabi 14 Jul, michel fanton seedsavers network HQ (Australia - temperate climate)
gardeners saving seeds of kohl rabi or any brassicas end up with far too many seeds, much more than they hoped for. Add to that they save seeds from at least 3 plants going to seeds for cross pollination so exchanging them is imperative. Try at your nearest "local seed network" someone may have tonnes to give away or swap.

Patricia,the PH level would be into the alkaline area but can I suggest you pick up a copy of the current ABC Organic Growing magazine where there is an excellent article on Peas bt Justin Russell .

Peas 18 Aug, Jane (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
How do I accommodate the pH for various and different plants growing in the same garden? For example,the needs of one plant (peas) will be different to another. Similarly, a plants' water needs. How on earth do I get this right? Thanks.

Rosemary 12 Jul, sherron hardin (USA - Zone 5a climate)
I saw where you can make a hedge out of Rosemary. Would this be a good suggestion? I have several plants I started from seed because I would like organic herbs. I plant on planting it in my garden as an entrance hedge. Need to know if I am heading in the right direction with this herb. We have four seasons here. Trying to make long lasting decisions. Thanks

Lettuce 12 Jul, sherron hardin (USA - Zone 5a climate)
I planted within the time frame as your chat suggested. My lettuce has gotten bitter as it has grown. I have it in full sun. I don't know if that is the reason but it would seem on the second growing it became a little bitter and gets worse as it grows. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help

Reply
Garlic 07 Jul, Julie Carville (USA - Zone 7a climate)
I bought mild garlic, but it is hot and wasn't supposed to be. Is this because I didn't water it steadily or enough, the soil, or some other reason that non-not garlic is hot (taste wise) when I harvest it.

Carrot 05 Jul, Brian (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
I have found the only way to grow carrots is to plant seeds direct into the ground. I have found the tape seeded carrots have worked very well. Planting from punnets the main root gets distorted when planting, thus you end up with distorted carrots, good luck.
