FREE! 2024 Canberra Planting Calendar

I’ve come up with my own yearly standard for what veggies and flowers to plant at home

Hi everyone,

I’ve created a very simple Canberra planting calendar for anyone who wants to know what to plant now in Canberra and the ACT.

I plant the bulk of my vegetables and flowers at the start of Autumn and the start of Spring, because they are the milder times of year. I like to avoid the extreme cold and extreme heat where I can and it works well for me. I plant from seed of course — Salisbury Grange is an (organic, heirloom) seed company! I’ve included what I’ll personally be growing below.

Happy growing!

Phoebe

Some of the leafy greens and tomatoes (above) I grew last year, that I’ll be repeating again next year
