Hi I recently bought cucamelon seeds. I'm just wondering where and when it would be best to sow these seeds.

Can you start growing in May, and let it grow from then on?

no not in the southern states anyway if they get frosted they will die. best to start your seeds indoors in august and wean them outside after the last frosts.

Hi, I've had a beautiful chili plant which has been doing great for the last 5 years at least. This year we harvested lots of chilies but now they leaves are sort of wilting, facing downwards, pale and although we still get lots of chilies they are very small in size. Can you please help? I live in the Hunter Region, NSW. Funny thing I have another chili plant which is only a metre away and it looks fine.

I would recommend that you start by planting the chilli seeds in a propagator (costs about 10 dollars at Bunnings), and placing it on top of the fridge with the lid on. This will allow the seeds to germinate. Once the chilli seedlings grow their first "true" leaves, place them (while still in the propagator tray) in a sunny spot for a couple hours per day.
