*Sow indoors or undercover in trays or pots, for later transplanting. #It is important to choose an appropriate variety (winter-growing or summer-growing) for the time of year. • This chart provides a guide to suitable sowing and planting times. Ideal times will vary with the season, your locality and your garden microclimate. • Sow or plant your winter vegetables in late summer or early autumn well before the weather gets cold, as their growth will slow down through the coldest months. Aim to plant your summer vegetables as soon as the last frosts are over (local wisdom suggests after Cup Day in the cooler areas) – although you can get a head start by sowing seeds indoors in trays. • To ensure seedlings sown indoors thrive, use a crumbly seed raising mix, make sure they have plenty of light and use a spray bottle to keep the soil moist. Also feed your seedlings by misting them a couple of times per week with a weak seaweed solution and continue to apply this once a fortnight after you transplant your seedlings. • Some vegetables are best grown directly from seed in the bed where they are to grow – for example, root vegetables such as carrots, radishes, beetroots and parsnips; while zucchini, cucumbers and coriander do not like having their roots disturbed by transplanting.
