Ginger 05 Jun, (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
I've experimented with growing ginger for home use in Durban - somewhat successful. To obtain shoots for ginger growing, take several young shoots and place in see-through plastic bag and leave in a shaded/dark area for at least 2 weeks and u will observe the sproughts, Then remove from bag and plant.

I grow tomatoes and peppers in my small town house garden. The fruit of both of these plants get stung by something leaving a black dot on the outside. When you open the fruit the inside is all rotten. What can I do to stop this from happening. Regards Mike

Garlic 04 Jun, Phil Metter (South Africa - Semi-arid climate)
I planted garlic that had sprouted visible green shoots at the beginning of winter (April) they have withered. Will they regenerate themselves in the spring /summer? I live in Gauteng.
Reply
Garlic 27 Apr, Ric Langley (Australia - temperate climate)
Garlic does not regenerate. Now is the time to plant or start with new seed garlic at this time next year.
