You need some warmth greenhouse effect, try plant seeding in some moonlight or artificial light small amounts of spagnum moss on bottom Ive used not too damp as mold can effect seedling you may not see it good luck.with planting..

Rockmelon (also Canteloupe) 31 Mar, Vicki (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
In the above chart for rockmelon, am I correct in assuming that the blank months (F.M.A.M.J.J,) after planting is the growing season.

Rockmelon (also Canteloupe) 01 Apr, Anonymous (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
The blank months are when you don't plant seeds or transplant seedlings. The S is for planting seeds early - like indoors (warmer atmosphere inside than outside if planting say spring summer crop). P is normal outdoor planting times and T is plant out your seedlings. These times are a little late. Commercial growers have there seedlings planted by end Sept here sub tropical. Your question is right and wrong to some degree. If all months are blank then nothing grows. Forget about the blank months, the guide is about PLANTING TIMES.

Ring your local produce agency and ask if they have seed potatoes. Or buy seed potatoes on line. Plant from mid April onwards.

Kale (also Borecole) 26 Mar, Frank Williams (New Zealand - cool/mountain climate)
Eating Kale flowers I had a period where there was not much to eat out of the garden and everything was going to seed, especially the Kale. So time to get creative... what I learnt was that the Kale flower stems, before the flowers emerge, make an excellent dish. Colourful, tasty and with such a nice texture on your plate. They are also good after the flowers emerge, but the early flower stems are best. Try it, I think you'll agree...

Onion 26 Mar, Heidi (Australia - temperate climate)
I have some onion sets left over from last year and want to plant them. All the articles I have seen thus far talk about growing them from seed/seedlings. Ours is a temperate climate, so when is a good time to plant them?
Reply
Onion 19 Apr, Graham (Australia - temperate climate)
Sets . Another word for seedlings. If they are still fresh and viable they should be OK. In saying that, I am surprised that they are still OK from last year. (Gardenate : 'sets' are usually small onion bulbs with brown, papery skin)

Plant in rows. Plant and water well then don't water for 3-4 days. Then lightly. Leave until they germinate.

Parsley (also curly leaf parsley or flat leaf (Italian) parsley) 25 Mar, Pete (Australia - temperate climate)
I planted a bed of parsley about 9 months ago, it grew well and bushy. I have been harvesting the parsley for months and now it is turning yellow and sems to be collapsing. I was under the impression that parsley would last for 2 seasons. Apart from the fact that it has veen pretty wet does anyone have any idea why this is occurring? Thanks and cheers Pete

The wet could be the problem. I had a ripper about 8-10 years and in Sept it just died in a week.

What ph is required for sunflowers. Im guessing 7.0. Do they benefit from composted chicken droppings?

If you start with good friable soil that has had some compost/composted manures in it that should be all that is required.
