Hi, I have potatoes just coming through the top of a no-dig raised bed and they are being eaten off as they come through. Today I could see a multitude on tiny (1mm) little "flies". Maybe Thrips? Is this what is eating my plants, if so how do I control them? Thanks

Waldecks on Manning Rd had a couple of varieties last weekend, Delaware, and something else I hadn't heard of.

Hi, I was wondering if there was another name for sweet potato as it doesn't seem to be in the seed list, thanks

Hiya Stuart, Sweet Potato can also be known as Kumara and sometimes (depending on your cultural background) yams. For further information check Wikipedia. Cheers

To grow Potatoes in Australia (cooler areas) you should start to prepare your bed now. I plant my potatoes every year when the blossoms start to bud on trees. so around late August/early September You can get seed potatoes from local nurseries or bunning's in the vegetable section. you need alot of sunshine full sun is ideal though part shade is fine..... :) x

Hi there Marion, I bought some Sebago seed potatoes yesterday at the garden centre on Moggill Road near the corner of rafting ground road Pullenvale (where the Still Tool Centre is) and the Brookfield Garden Centre tells me that they are getting them in this Thursday also. Best of luck! J
