Horseradish 15 Feb, Peter (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
I'm from Centurion and had some horseradish plants. They died towards the end of 2015 in the drought but I managed to save a plant that is now doing well again. Make a note and contact me in August 2016 and I will give away some roots to start with in the new growing season. First-come-first-served. e-mail: [email protected]

Carrot 17 Mar, Bee-Pie (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
Also, do not plant them in the same bed.

Beetroots & carrots require very little nitrogen. Too much and you'll have big leaves at the expense of root development. Phosphate and potassium encourages more root development.

Beetroot (also Beets) 14 Feb, jackie.fick (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
could I plant beetroot in same land that garlic had fusarium rot
Reply
Beetroot (also Beets) 17 Mar, Bee-Pie (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
I would not advise it. You're better off sterilizing the soil as many plants are susceptible to fusarium root rot.

I'm grew watermelon in my garden, it started growing but now the leaves are turning from green to yellowish brown. Does it need a lot of water or not , please let me know.
Reply
Watermelon 17 Mar, Bee-Pie (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
Yellowing leaves are a sign of nitrogen deficiency. Fertilize with cow manure. If your watermelon plant has yellow leaves and the fruits are beginning to rot, Southern blight may be to blame. There is nothing you can do for Fusarium Wilt but remove the plant from the garden.

When can i plant dry peas in bethlehem?
Reply
Peas 15 Jun, hennie (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
peas are a cold weather crop which in theory means that they can grow in winter an are very cold hardy , i grow them right through the year. if the temperature is moderate you should be able to plant them now. if however you are in a frost prone area i suggest that you add frost protection by adding floating row covers. hope this helps.

Rhubarb 26 Jan, Amanda (South Africa - Semi-arid climate)
The best way of cooking rhubarb is to string it and then cut it into chunks, place it on a baking tray, sprinkle with sugar and bake bout 20min at 180. Lovely done with ginger as well!
