Potato 05 Jan, Anonymous (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Probably too much N fertiliser. It is not about growing a tall plant. It is about growing a plant that produces a crop. A good amount of general fert before planting and hill the soil up around the pant when about 12 inches

It is because it takes 3 months for Potash to become available in the soil. You always have to plan ahead when you are using Potash or, no matter how much you put on your tater plants they won't be able to access it.

Hello, I have been growing vegetables here in Manteo, NC for the last 10 years, zone 8b. I believe your planting times are at least 30 days too early . I plant most of it by seed outdoors maybe and that may be the reason.

Read the paragraph at the bottom of the page. It is general advice, There could be many different sub climates within the same climate. Generally it is about soil temperature required for germination.

I'm looking for a large juicy tomato to just plain eat whole. Looking for a good producer. Can't seem to find a recommendation for my area!

Google big tomato varieties. Most crops will grow from cold weather to hot weather, just have to plant at the right time of year for your area.

Asparagus 05 Dec, Jennifer (USA - Zone 8a climate)
I am in southeastern coastal North Carolina and planted asparagus last Feb. They did awesome, and still are doing great, so I don’t know when to cut them back so they start growing next year. They are very tall and full. (Some of them are starting to turn yellow but only a few.) We haven’t cut anything since they were planted. Any advice on when to cut them back is appreciated.

Wait until the ferns are fully brown and dormant to maximize the next year's harvest. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com › edible › vegetables › asparagus › cutting-asparagus-foliage-back-in-autumn.htm Tips On Cutting Back Asparagus Plants - Gardening Know How Once you have cut the asparagus back, add several inches (10 cm.) of mulch to your asparagus bed. This will help to smother the weeds in the bed and will help fertilize the bed for next year. Compost or well-rotted manure makes an excellent mulch for asparagus in autumn....

Rosemary 05 Dec, Holli (USA - Zone 8b climate)
I bought a potted rosemary plant this month( December), I live in zone 8b, can i plant it outdoors? The next 10 days the weather ranges from a low of my 40 and a high of 79. I plan to cover it if temps drop into 30's. Last year the leaves on my indoor potted rosemary turned black and fell off

Can these be perennial in zone 7? If I keep them out all winter and will they grow back next spring? I hear they are perenial but not sure about growing them in my zone.

Here in nearby 8a they’re more of a self seeding perennial. The old plants themselves didn’t come back but i got plenty of volunteers in my garden the next year from ones that went unharvested. If you leave some on the plant at the end of the growing season you’re likely to see new plants come spring.

You need to check Alabama is mostly zone 8a or 8b now. It changed last year. I am 30 miles north of Birmingham and in zone 8 here now.

Do some research on what varieties grow in your area/district. It doesn't make much difference probably.

Garlic 18 Nov, Mairlyn (USA - Zone 8a climate)
I read that I should place my garlic in the refrigerator for 7 to 8 weeks before planting. I read this after the fact. How will no refrigeration prior to planting effect my results?

Garlic 16 Apr, Michelle (USA - Zone 9b climate)
In my zone, because it's warm, you need to do cold stratification in the frig before planting. I tried before with store garlic and it didn't work, now I bought softneck, put in the frig a few weeks and they are doing great.

Garlic 07 Dec, Paula (USA - Zone 10a climate)
I have never chilled mine and they do okay. I don't know the type as I have as I started with grocery store bulbs, but I have read that soft neck varieties do better in warm climates.

Probably make no difference. The thing is to use mature aged bulbs. Fresh new bulbs may not be as good as bulbs that have been out of the ground for a few months.
