Kohlrabi 15 Apr, Michelle (USA - Zone 7a climate): It will grow as a perennial, however it is technically a biennial. It will flower and set seed the second year, rather than producing another edible stem.

Garlic 16 Apr, Michelle (USA - Zone 9b climate): It needs cold stratification. So it too late for yours in our zone. Next year put some in the frig in October, then plant late December or early January. Need to use Softneck garlic.

Cucumber 08 Mar, Eric (Canada - Zone 3b Temperate Warm Summer climate): Is the "Tasty Green" variety an indoor variety or an outdoor variety? Because I heard you have to pinch off the male flowers for indoor varieties or the cucumbers will taste bitter, and for outdoor varieties, the cucumbers will require pollination.
Reply
Squash (also Crookneck, Pattypan, Summer squash) 07 Mar, Amanda (USA - Zone 6a climate): Which squash varities can trellis? Some say trellis summer because winter is too heavy. Some say you cant trellis summer squash because its a bush plant and only winter squash will vine/trellis. Please help.
Reply
Squash (also Crookneck, Pattypan, Summer squash) 13 Jul, Kathryn (USA - Zone 9b climate): Some varieties of both winter and summer squash trellis while others do not. You just need to pick a small, vining variety. I too have heard that it's not worth trellising any type of summer squash because the vines are not so long that you save much space... so here I am with Pattypan dancing circles around their 8ft bed. Next year they're going on a trellis. For winters, focus more on size; I've seen pictures of Kabocha on a good, strong trellis but not sure which varieties like your cooler climate.
