What should I plant in my North Queensland garden as the weather cools in March?
As North Queensland transitions into cooler weather, switch from summer crops to cool-season varieties. Sow broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, beetroot, carrot, lettuce, peas, and Asian greens. Clear spent summer plants and add compost before replanting.
How often should I water my vegetable garden in March in North Queensland?
Watering frequency depends on your soil type and weather. In March in North Queensland, check the soil moisture by pushing your finger 5 centimetres into the soil. If it feels dry, water deeply.
