FREE! 2024 Melbourne Planting Calendar
Hi everyone,
I’ve created a very simple Melbourne planting calendar for anyone who wants to know what to plant now in Melbourne and Victoria.
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
