Grow more with our planting guide

Growing a healthy harvest starts with choosing the right plants for your garden’s climate – and that’s where our vegie planting guide comes in!

Good place to start

Conditions vary within climate zones, and even between neighbouring suburbs. So knowing your garden and how it changes from season to season helps you ensure growing success.

Take that knowledge and then have a look at our planting guide, which is where you’ll find the best vegies to plant in your climate zone and when.

We even have a handy vegie planting guide poster available in our Spring 2025 issue – put it on your wall for easy reference whenever you decide it’s time to plant something new.

Take note

A few other suggestions to help ensure you have a bumper vegie harvest:

• If you notice your experience differs from our suggestions, jot it down for next season.

• Start your seeds early in a planting window so they have time to establish. Save seedlings for later in the season when temperatures shift.

• You can modify your garden’s growing conditions by planting in pots and moving them into sunnier or more sheltered spots.
• You can also take advantage of microclimates — those warmer, cooler, or more protected patches in your garden — to grow a wider range of plants.

Still, the key to success is growing healthy plants that suit your climate.
