Pumpkin 31 May, Mike L (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
When you cut the pumpkin from the vine make sure you have some of the stem attached to the pumpkin.

Could be a variation in the availability of soil water. Plants are better producers the more years they are in the one spot. Ours (in Sydney) was in the ground forever, trunk thicker than a forearm, and covered chook shed. Never watered so must have put down some really deep roots. So much fruit we'd play cricket with them. Not very good for soccer though ;)

Probably not many bees to pollinate the female flowers.

Capsicum (also Bell peppers, Sweet peppers) 25 May, Sean (Australia - temperate climate)
Can capsicum be frozen for future use?
Reply
Capsicum (also Bell peppers, Sweet peppers) 29 May, Liz (New Zealand - temperate climate)
Yes, capsicum freezes quite well. Cut it into strips, ready to use and freeze on a tray before bagging up. It loses a bit of flavour but the colour stays well.

Gidday. Can someine tell me if St Lawrence Qld which lies smack bang between Rocky to the South and Mackay to the North is Tropical or Sub-tropical? No-one seems to actually know.

More so Sub-Tropical as it is only just north of Rocky. The notes here say from Rocky south.

Basil is frost-tender and needs lots of sunlight

Kohlrabi 21 May, Kat (Australia - temperate climate)
HI, I am trying to grow Kohlrabi for the fist time. We live in Newcastle, north of Sydney. I planted the seeds at least a month ago. Lots of leaves but no swelling at the base yet. I was wondering how long it takes to form?
Reply
Kohlrabi 23 May, Mike (Australia - temperate climate)
It says 7-10 weeks - give it some time if it is only 1 mth old.
Reply
Kohlrabi 23 May, Kat (Australia - temperate climate)
Thanks. I have read elsewhere that it may be too warm here to grow it successfully. I hope not tho as my son has been eagerly looking forward to seeing this rather unusual veggie growing. :)

Kohlrabi 15 Jul, Marion (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
I live on the Mid North Coast and find no issues growing them up here.

Lettuce 20 May, Heather (Australia - temperate climate)
I’m in the southern highlands and I can’t seem to grow iceberg lettuce??? Any suggestions why
Reply
Lettuce 21 May, Mike (Australia - temperate climate)
You have indicated temperate and it says plant all year. Cool / Mountain is Sept to May. Do you receive all day sun. They need lots of sun. If still no good suggest you grow another variety.

Lettuce 22 May, Claudie (Australia - temperate climate)
Hi Lois, the only 'w' lettuce I can think of is Webb's Wonderful, which is a crisp-head type of lettuce, like iceberg. Could this be the one?

Lettuce 21 May, colin (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Lettuce Green Mignonette is a possibility.
Reply
Lettuce 21 May, Mike (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Is it White Boston? If so The Seed Collection Company on the internet have it $1 for 200 seeds- but out of stock at the moment. You could try other seed selling companies on the net.

Lettuce 03 Jun, Andrew (Australia - temperate climate)
Not sure if it qualifies as lettuce, but wombok?
Reply
Lettuce 05 Sep, Jane (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Andrew - I believe Wombok is Chinese 'cabbage' and that: 1. there are different types of Wombok 2. Cabbage is a brassica Is lettuce a brassica? I thought not but I could be wrong. - Jane
