Peas 09 Mar, nceba mpontshane (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
Once more I need your help towards finding a cultivar which I would call "black eyed peas" because they look like ordinary peas we use on daily basis. Their difference is that they have black eyes when they are dry. They turn "whitish" when they are dry. Please help.

Strawberry Plants 05 Mar, Estie (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
Strawberries need a sunny position in order to flower and bear fruit. They will grow prolific leaves in a semi shaded position but yield of fruit will be low. Also remember they have a limited life span to bear good fruit - replace your old plants every 3-4 years.

Spinach (also English spinach) 03 Feb, (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
Help! My spinach is being completely stripped overnight, not just holes. I have put poison round each plant which worked the first night then it rained heavily and now the remaining plants have been eaten.

Spinach (also English spinach) 04 Feb, Luke (Australia - tropical climate)
the only insect i can think of would be grass hopper and some other bugs breeding in summer as they like heat, they are hard to kill unless heavily poison. Grass hopper can eat a plant in one night if the leaves are fresh. The only safe tip i can give is what i doing now, Spray the area with Madison 50, type of poison for pets that got lices, water your plants with insect repel, best if it natural, there are a range of products at your local garden center. hope this helps
