Why does my lettuce produce new leaves on top but the bottom leaves turn yellow and wilts? Looks like it is growing well, since new leave appear all the time, but the bottom leaves then wilts... What should I do, or what am I doing wrong?

Your lettuce is probably getting too much sun or its too dry... try putting them in a more shady spot and watering plenty?

Strawberry Plants 18 Apr, Pam Elizabeth LLoyd (South Africa - Semi-arid climate)
I have bought 3 healthy looking strawberry plants and each one of them seem to start off well , then the plant starts to looks sick and all the strawberries that grow are not bright red, brownish and just die off. The leaves also do not look healthy. I have planted them in a planter with lots of compost. What am I doing wrong??

Asparagus 14 Sep, Ivan van der Merwe (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
Hi Sir, firstly I live in Memel 98km East from Harry Smith and my asparagus does very well. I feel if you speak to the owner of the nursery next to the Spar he might be able to assist with plants. I have some 40 plants in my garden, all started from 4 plants. Enjoy your rewarding plants. They love the cold weather. And also seed well once they establish themselves. DO NOT BE IN A HURRY. Plant them away from the traffic even as an unusual garden separator. Do remember the bush can grow up to 1Meter high and some what wide. When it dies down leave it standing to almost the end of winter then cut them off and use for your compost. Enjoy the new venture. You are welcome to contact me.

Asparagus 09 Nov, Lauren (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
I have 3 Asparagus plants, one of which is growing exceptionally well. I can't seem to find any information as to what to do if I've missed harvesting the shoots. Do I cut down all the ferns to increase shooting of new spears on each plant until the yield is done? Or do I just keep looking out for new shoots to harvest. They were planted last year as a 2 year old plant (grown in a pot in a greenhouse). Any guidance and information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
