I just lost a huge crop of brussel sprouts - the bugs got them,they were full of earwigs but they grew huge anyway so wasnt too worried! ]]> Sun, 14 Feb 2010 20:24:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31639&PID=937315&title=garden-people#937315 <![CDATA[Garden People : Cheers all, I have a huge area...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31639&PID=937200&title=garden-people#937200 Author: mummy_becks

Cheers all, I have a huge area for my vege garden (some on here have seen it, and it will be bigger when we get down there) so I am not too worried about space. Going to successive sow - always have done.

I am really looking forward to September when I can plant everything, the only thing I have not been able to grow is watermelon and brussel sprouts but I know why the sprouts haven't grown as I planted them at the wrong time of theyear. So bring on September when I will be planting up a storm in my garden.

Gosh that's quite a list of veges!  My only advice is don't plant too much of each thing at a time.  It will take up too much space and you'll have have miles of veges becoming mature all at the same time.  eg successive sowings.

All the best!

Find a cheap garden centre that sells the plants in 6 packs and plant away. Beware of the white butterfly on your brasica's- mine have been devoured! I just plant anything and see if it grows, if it doesnt I just don't plant it again. Make sure you have good soil with lots of compost and fertilise everything regularly.

You can also grow pumpkin and zuchinni and tomoatos- but best to wait till next season. Also any sort of climbing beans. A really good magazine is the NZ Gardener- it has lots of great tips and ideas. Good luck ]]> Sun, 14 Feb 2010 14:18:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31639&PID=937006&title=garden-people#937006 <![CDATA[Garden People : Garlic usually gets planted around...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31639&PID=936736&title=garden-people#936736 Author: jano1

Garlic usually gets planted around the shortest day of the year

You can plant celery as well and spinach ]]> Sun, 14 Feb 2010 07:57:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31639&PID=936736&title=garden-people#936736 <![CDATA[Garden People : My only advise about planting...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31639&PID=936673&title=garden-people#936673 Author: MummyFreckle

My only advise about planting brassicas (broc, cauli, cabbages, brussel sprouts) is that they need a lot of room. They grow quite large and like to be able to spread out. ]]> Sat, 13 Feb 2010 22:43:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31639&PID=936673&title=garden-people#936673 <![CDATA[Garden People : Are you out there???

Are you out there???

As one of my positives of moving back to Palmy is getting my garden back!!! So I have just spent the past hour looking at garden websites to see what I can plant when I get down there and get the garden sorted as I am sure it hasn't been taken care of since we left (almost 2 years ago now).

So I have worked out I can plant the following:

  • cauliflower
  • carrots
  • brocolli
  • cabbage
  • beetroot
  • lettuce
  • radish
  • spinish
  • garlic
  • onion
  • silverbeet
  • brussel sprouts
  • snow peas
  • broad beans

has anyone else got any other idea of what else I can grow and also any hits on growing them over winter.
