Sydney and coastal NSW (Greater Sydney, Central Coast, Illawarra, Northern Beaches, Sutherland) enjoy a frost-free to light-frost climate with cool winters that extend the brassica window significantly beyond SEQ. Cool-season crops (brassicas, leafy greens, peas, beans) thrive longer through winter than subtropical regions. Warm-season fruiting crops start 2-4 weeks later in spring due to cooler spring soil temperatures. Tropical fruits like banana, mango, pawpaw, dragonfruit, and cassava are marginal and require sheltered positions; ginger, turmeric and taro need extended growing seasons and pre-sprouting.
