I am in Zone 8b and planted nursery plants in February but they have not produced sprouts and it is probably too hot for them to now.

Zucchini (also Courgette/Marrow, Summer squash) 01 Sep, Elaine (USA - Zone 9b climate)
I tried growing zucchini in raised beds this summer. Followed all the instructions here. They produced 2 or 3 fruit per plant then started dying. Yellow leaves, soggy stems. Maybe I over watered? I gave each plant about a litre of water per week. It’s also been very hot (90F+ constantly from the beginning of June) When you say plenty of water, how much is plenty?

The most likely culprit was squash vine borers. They bore into the base of the stem and eat the plant from the inside. You will notice that the leaves aren't getting nutrion and will turn yellow/brown. Production will slow down and the roots will start to get squishy and gross. Finally, the plant will fall over and die.

Hi Elaine, I had a similar problem this year with my zucchini. The plant never grew much, and didn’t produce any fruit. The temperature was very high 105s for the peak growing time in my area. I am have my fingers crossed we will get a few squash before it gets cold. I am going to try and plant mine early next year and hope they get started producing before the heat sets in. Post if you find an info about plants not producing. Cheers. Naomi

What does it mean to plant under cover? Inside, or under a roof, or under one of those plastic covers like a mini-greenhouse? Thank you!

Out of the sunlight. Google about it.

Rhubarb 29 Aug, Becky (USA - Zone 3b climate)
(i live in southwest MN in the summer and winter in Arkansas. )It’s September and I just bought some rhubarb to plant in zone 3b-4. Can I plant now in September and leave them do I need to stay and water them continually or should I take them back down south with me and take care of them and plant in the spring back in zone 3b-4. Thank you for your help.

Check your climate zone time to plant and plant then.

Ginger 28 Jul, dz (USA - Zone 10a climate)
the guide says for Zone 10A to plant ginger in Feb, but sometimes you just have to adapt as things occur. A couple of weeks ago (July), my wife handed me a piece of store bought ginger that had started to grow a shoot, so I put it in a small clean snack cup, added about 1/2" of water, and checked it daily, adding and/or changing water as needed, and in a couple weeks it had grown a lot of roots, and the shoot grew to about 4 inches and opened its third leaf, so this morning I planted it outside in a 5-gallon bucket and will continue to monitor it closely.

Ginger 10 Nov, Eric (USA - Zone 10b climate)
I have a newly started piece of ginger growing. I am in zone 10 B and was wondering if it would do well through the winter outside or if I should bring it inside. Any insight is appreciated.

Ginger 26 Feb, dz (USA - Zone 10a climate)
Eric, my ginger grew very well in the 5-gallon bucket and three additional shoots grew up, which I think means new root (rhizome) lobes have grown, and I've been leaving it alone during the winter to see how it does. We had minor frost a couple of nights in January and a lot of my more tropical / warm climate plants took some damage, including the ginger. As of today, the green growth has all died off, so I'll need to carefully check to see if the roots are still solid and not rotting from wet weather. My Taro root in a bucket next to the ginger also died down from the frost but has quickly recovered and is starting to grow some new leaves, so hopefully the ginger starts growing again soon.

Taro (also Dasheen, cocoyam) 28 Jul, dz (USA - Zone 10a climate)
We live in San Diego "Inland" microclimate Zone 10A and have a serious gopher problem throughout the entire area, so I do 99% of my gardening in containers, including grapes, a guava tree, a fig, Moringas, camote, some herbs like basil, oregano, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, and lots of different vegetables. My wife brought home a small 2" taro root from her sister that had started growing a shoot, maybe 1/2". I let it sit on the counter for a couple weeks and the sprout started to dry up, and I have never grown taro so looked it up and discovered it's supposed to be a "water plant", which is good for me because I tend to overwater. I put the root in a small clean snack cup (originally had applesauce in it) and added water about half-way up the root and put it in a sunny east window. In a week it had started growing roots, and within two weeks the sprout got green and started growing again, and a lot more smaller roots started growing at the base of the sprout, so I planted it in a 5-gallon bucket this morning, will water it heavily, and see what happens.
