FREE! 2024 SEQ Planting Calendar

I’ve come up with my own yearly standard for what veggies and flowers to plant in South East QLD

Hi everyone,

I’ve created a very simple SE Qld planting calendar for anyone who wants to know what to plant now in South East Queensland.

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’ve included what I’ll personally be growing below in Brisbane. However, if I still lived in Toowoomba with its slightly colder winter, I would take major advantage of this and add beautiful tulips and sweet peas to my list because they like the cold.

Happy growing!

Phoebe
