Onion 10 Aug, Sam (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
I just planted onions that got spoiled and started to grow but now each bulb has grown into a set of seedlings. Do I pull them out and plant them separately or leave them grow as they are? Kind Regards Sam

Pull apart.

Onion 13 Jul, Elizabeth (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
Leave them to grow. Pulling apart will break the roots. A group of onions bulbs will develop and you can harvest them together or one at a time by twisting one gently.

Which variety tomato will grow best in the Free State

Tomato 10 Dec, Chris Labuschagne (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
I like to plant Money maker in Pretoria. Ox heart is a traditional variety but it has very low resistance to insects and pests. Be on the lookout for mildew and others as well as bottom end rot. Plan a preventative program. I am using drip irrigation instead of over head.

To treat tomatoes from pets like aphids and red spider. Red spider can finish your plant without even noticing them because they are very small. Your tomatoe leaves becomes yellow and the whole plant ends up dying. Potatoes also have the same problem. You may think they are getting ready. Just use Oleum. It is very good.

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.
