Growing Notes
Separate warm-season crops such as tomatoes, beans and cucumbers from cool-season crops such as peas and many brassicas. Prepare soil for the crop, keep water even and adjust shade or wind protection where local conditions demand it.
Succession sowing can spread quick harvests, but the interval changes with temperature and crop speed. Keep notes on sowing and picking dates so later batches fit your own garden.
Common Questions
Why do Australian vegetable planting times vary so much?
Australia spans tropical, subtropical, temperate and cool climates. A vegetable grown in a southern summer may be better through the tropical dry season.
What is a warm-season vegetable?
Warm-season crops need warm soil and are often damaged by frost. Tomatoes, cucumbers and eggplants are common examples, although extreme heat can still reduce flowering and fruit set.
How does succession sowing work?
Sow smaller batches at intervals while conditions remain suitable. This spreads harvests and lets you adjust the next batch after seeing how quickly the first one grows.
