Why SEQ Needs Its Own Guide
Most Australian gardening advice is written for Melbourne or Sydney. Those cities have four distinct seasons with cold winters and mild summers. SEQ is different. Summers are hot and humid with heavy rainfall that brings fungal pressure and fruit fly. Winters are mild and dry, which is actually the best growing season for most vegetables.
A tomato planting guide written for Victoria will tell you to sow in spring. In SEQ, spring-sown tomatoes run straight into the brutal January humidity. The experienced SEQ approach: sow in February or August, dodging peak summer entirely.
Every recommendation in this guide is calibrated for the subtropical zone between Noosa and the NSW border, with notes for the 5 SEQ microclimates.
