Ginger 10 Apr, Heidi Ruede (South Africa - Dry summer sub-tropical climate)
I have at this time of season ( April ) a small sprouting ginger root. I believe it is not the right time of season to plant it into my vegetable garden. What am I going to do with this root? Please advise. I am living in Cape town with winter rains. I really would also appreciate directions how to plant it best. Thank you very much for your helpful advise. Looking forward to your response. Kind regards, Heidi

You could maybe plant it in a pot and protect it from excess rain, then plant out in the spring.

Coriander (also Cilantro, Chinese parsley) 07 Apr, Phil (Australia - temperate climate)
This would interest any gardeners in PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA. After repeated attempts of transplanting coriander in the spring and watching it slowly grow to a small growth then just bolt to seed. After hearing a quick excerpt from the Garden Gurus show last year recommending the autumn period (April-May)....the success was evident. I had a massive crop just with 3 plants....Hope this helps and....plant now!

Coriander does not like being transplanted and handled much. Yes it bolts to seed quick so grow it in the autumn winter.

I just bought Fragaria “Eclair” Strawberries. They are rated 10b, so should work for you.This is my first time with them, so crossing my fingers. I also have Mara Des Bois that I have purchased have bought barefoot. I have had several of the original plants for a couple of years. I grow in pots and move around as the seasons change. Everything is going into dappled sun now. This Fla sun is fierce in the midday already. Some under a Mango tree, some near my stand of bananas. I also have some amSeascapes that have survived. Sweet Charlie’s were recommended, but didn’t do well for me. Truly, these southern zones, people treat Strawberries as annuals.

It amazes me that people grow strawberries in full sun -- sure they can grow there but their leaves scorch. Strawberries (most varieties) tend to be forest floor (perimeter of the forest) plants -- that is they are understory plants and tend to grow best in dappled shade. I have had people show me pictures of strawberries growing in the sand on a beach.... yes it was growing, but it was getting some relief from the sun for part of the day (it was on the side of a sand dune) .... and the leaves where still scorched and I certainly would not have called them prize specimens, survivors would be a more accurate name for them. I have grow them here in B.C. , Canada -- in the shade (some in full shade) and they do fine. The sun is not as intense as FLA (having lived in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale) - where I could not even withstand the sun .... I certainly would not expect a strawberry plant to manage.

Fertilise before planting or after the plants have established a bit.

How long do you have to freeze strawberry seeds that you've culled from fresh strawberries? How long should strawberry plants from seeds take before thinning or transplanting them?
Reply
