Veggies to go
By

One of the most common questions I get asked is, 'What veggies can I plant
now?'Well this depends a bit on where you live in Australia;
whether it be the mountainous regions where you get heavy frosts in winter, or up in the
tropics where you'll be sweltering and have to contend with high humidity.
Some veggies and herbs can be grown year round with no problem and
then of course there are seasonal veggies, and even annual herbs like basil and coriander,
that last a couple of months and then need replacing. Coming into the cooler months think
about planting beetroot, broccoli, peas, spinach, spring onion, cauliflower, cabbage,
leek, onion, rocket, and many herbs. For everything in one
bag look out for these nifty Potmate paper bags from Debco. Each is a starter kit for
various veggies, containing soil, seeds, a seed tray and info to get you started. They're
available from Bunnings and other major outlets. |

About this Blog

A constant learning curve, gardening is all about trial and error. Knowledge grows from sharing information between friends, passing down through generations, or just getting it wrong a few times before you get it right. It's about getting grubby outside and aching from digging too much, but then feeling that fall away when you get your first flower or prize fruit off a new tree... and getting so excited you need to tell everyone.
Yours in Green is everything I’ve learnt so far - what to do when, how to do it right the first time, and of course, some frustrations along the way and how to remedy them.

| November 29, 2012, 9:48 am Like a Hitchcock movie I really love art in outdoor spaces, and in the garden you can create quite a feature with the right piece. I'm not talking about hundreds of reconstituted concrete Australiana figurines, more the odd one or two striking pieces to create focal points or at the end of a path or vista.Read More... |

Actually the perfect spot for a mint plant is in a pot under a dripping tap, as they like reliable moisture and you can grow them in part shade to full sun.Read More... |
