November across Australia

November is late spring heading into summer. Most warm-season crops should be in the ground by now. Focus on maintenance: feeding, watering, pest monitoring, and training climbing crops onto supports. In cooler regions, this is the last chance to plant tomatoes, capsicums, and other summer crops. In tropical regions, the wet season is arriving and planting options narrow.

November Gardening Tips

Feed tomatoes, capsicums, and eggplants with a potassium-rich fertiliser (like sulphate of potash or a tomato-specific feed) every 2 weeks once flowers appear. This promotes fruit set and development.

Train climbing beans, cucumbers, and peas onto supports. Tie loosely with soft twine as they grow. Good airflow through the canopy reduces fungal disease risk.

Monitor for pests as temperatures rise. Aphids, whitefly, and caterpillars become active in warm weather. Check the undersides of leaves daily. Remove by hand or spray with organic neem oil if populations build.
