Growing Vegetables In Brisbane (In Minutes)

Here I am growing vegetables in Brisbane on my balcony, including a lot of lettuce!

It only took me 10 years to figure out that growing vegetables in Brisbane is very simple! The good news is that if you don’t have a decade for trial and error and would like to eat your own delicious lettuce and homegrown basil kind of soon, I have pulled what I’ve learned over all of those years into a 1 minute video.

The key steps I use when growing vegetables in Brisbane are simple - I gather my materials, I plant my seeds into a seed tray, a month later I plant my now seedlings into a garden bed, then I water them for the next month as they become fully grown, and finally I eat and enjoy! If only I had known this at the very start of my gardening journey. Anyways…

Check out my Growing Vegetables In Brisbane video below. In the video I am using raised garden beds, but the steps are the same for using pots or a garden bed. And if you would like more information about which veggies to plant in which season, you might like my 2024 Planting Calendar available below. Happy veggie growing!
