What should I plant this month in Australia?
What to plant depends on your region and the time of year. Select your region from the Planting Season grow guide to see a detailed monthly planting calendar with every crop you can sow right now, along with spacing, harvest timing, and companion planting suggestions.
How do I plan my garden for the whole year?
Start by looking at the monthly planting calendars for your region across all twelve months. Note which crops overlap and which have short seasons. Plan succession plantings of fast crops like lettuce and radish every two to three weeks. Rotate plant families between beds each season to prevent disease buildup.
When should I start preparing my garden for the next season?
Begin preparing four to six weeks before the new season starts. Clear spent crops, add compost and aged manure, check irrigation, and plan your layout. Start seedlings indoors or in trays so transplants are ready when conditions are right.
