Rhubarb 11 Sep, Candace Norman (Canada - Zone 2a Sub-Arctic climate)
Planted from nursery stock this year. No flower/seed stalks apparent, do I pull or cut fruit stalks then mulch over for winter?

I am in Zone 8b and planted nursery plants in February but they have not produced sprouts and it is probably too hot for them to now.

Garlic 09 Sep, Mario Dalli (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
Can a small complete bulb of garlic be replanted to grow larger in the next growing season.
Reply
Garlic 22 Sep, Faith Celeste Archer (Canada - Zone 5a Temperate Warm Summer climate)
Certainly, BUT GENERALLY you break your bulb apart into it's constituent CLOVES and plant each clove separately. That is, each clove becomes a garlic plant.

Burdock (also Gobo (Japanese Burdock)) 07 Sep, Allan (Australia - temperate climate)
When I was a boy growing up in England we had a lovely drink called 'dandelion and burdock.' but I have never seen it in Australia. As you show how to grow burdock in your email, maybe you could comment on this wonderful drink. Have a nice day people, Allan.

Watermelon 05 Sep, Babsie (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
What makes watermelons to be sugarless
Reply
Watermelon 03 Nov, Bee-Pie (South Africa - Humid sub-tropical climate)
Watermelon is a desert plant and needs full sun. Watermelons need to produce a lot of leaves to make enough sugar to produce sweet fruit. To do this they need a constant supply of water. It could also be to a nutrient deficiency in your soil.

Zucchini (also Courgette/Marrow, Summer squash) 01 Sep, Elaine (USA - Zone 9b climate)
I tried growing zucchini in raised beds this summer. Followed all the instructions here. They produced 2 or 3 fruit per plant then started dying. Yellow leaves, soggy stems. Maybe I over watered? I gave each plant about a litre of water per week. It’s also been very hot (90F+ constantly from the beginning of June) When you say plenty of water, how much is plenty?

Zucchini (also Courgette/Marrow, Summer squash) 03 Sep, BaltimoreHopeDealer (USA - Zone 7b climate)
The most likely culprit was squash vine borers. They bore into the base of the stem and eat the plant from the inside. You will notice that the leaves aren't getting nutrion and will turn yellow/brown. Production will slow down and the roots will start to get squishy and gross. Finally, the plant will fall over and die.
