Sweet Potato (also Kumara) 18 Dec, Nyasha (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
I am growing sweet potatoes for the first time. Got the tubers from the supermarket and kept them in my veggie drawer until they sprouted (approx. 1 month). I planted out 4 tubers in an area 3m x3m in August. I was told each vine would only reach 2 metres, but mine are growing a bit wild. I have had to cut the tips of the vines off because I have ran out of space. How often should sweet potatoes be watered?

How high does the bean stalk go and how do I support the stalk al the way? It seems like it will go forever high?? (-: When will I know to remove the whole plant and start from scratch, with other words? How many times do I reap from one plant before I take out the whole plant and plant a new one?

French tarragon 16 Oct, (South Africa - Dry summer sub-tropical climate)
I managed to get a plant from Lifestyle Nursery in April/May. It was small but survived the winter although all top growth disappeared. It is now putting up new shoots. You have to be careful not to disturb it when it is not visible! Lifestyle usually gets some in - you just have to be patient and keep enquiring

Potato 22 Oct, Mlungisi (South Africa - Semi-arid climate)
As from 2010 I have been planting potato seedlings in my backyard garden what I noticed is that they do not flower for pollination to take place but when I harvested them I got big quality tubers. The following year I planted the potato seeding in winter and they thrived well but the same thing of not flowering happened again and the harvest was good. This is surprising me really ,. What could be the reason for these potato plant not flowering but able to form tubers.

Asparagus 13 Oct, Peter Fordyce (South Africa - Semi-arid climate)
What is the minimum temperature that asparagus is able to survive? It is grown in places like Bethlehem, Ficksburg and Gumtree where heavy frosts are common. Am considering planting in Nieu Bethesda where snow is regular. Thank you Peter Fordyce
