WANTED: Asian Herbs & Veggies
Comments (4)@nightowls - I've checked with those guys already and unfortunately they either don't carry a number of things that I'm really after, or are currently backordered. Thanks though! @Kbrielle18 - Sure! I saw your message via email but haven't been able to figure out how to reply on Garden Web...sorry, new here!...See MoreMy veggies (pictures)
Comments (9)Hi aka_peggy, I had some flea beetle damage in the beginning but not much afterwards. But I am battling spider mites for the last 45 days. I lost one plant (albeit not entirely, I cut it down to a stump and now it is growing back vigorously). The others, I have been spraying every 3 to 4 days with tspn oil+tspn soap in 1 gal water and that seems to keep the spider mites in check. They attacked my bush and pole beans too and I spray them as well with the above mixture. I am still getting plenty of beans and the plants look healthy. -saila...See Morenewbie with growing asian veggies; loads of questions
Comments (1)i'm from the UK and am also new to growing chinese veg. i am currently growing for the first time MIZUNA, PAK CHOI, KAI LAN & PERILLA. The latter is a japanese herb, sometimes called japanese basil and is used in salads and pickles (i hope that is right). All these seeds germinated very easily and i've not had any probs growing these (they were sown indoors first and then put out in my greenhouse and now they're in my raised bed). the former are cropping very nicely and as MIZUNA leaves are cut n' come again, i've harvested 2 big bunches already from each plant.. i can only answer one of your questions and that is winter melon. this is a trailing plant that my mother used to grow in very big pots and they had v long stems that trailed all over her garden. she watered and fed them very regularly and she was pleasingly rewarded with the most ginormous fruits. i think they're called winter melon, as they were fairly hairy to touch, but inside was like spaghetti in the middle and zillions of seeds. there is an excellent book by an English writer, Joy Larkhom who wrote 'Oriental vegetables'. there's a US version of it available i believe. good luck!...See MoreHave Washabi , and Asian veggie .Wanted Persian cuke
Comments (2)I have a cucumber called "Super Zagross Middle Eastern Slicing", which is from Iran(Persia) and I did a google search and they appear to look the same, I got mine from Fedco seeds. Super Zagross are my favorite cucumber as they are great tasting, burpless and I eat the skin and all. I will try to connect you for a trade. Dean...See Morechaman
