What Veggies To Plant Now (2024 Edition)

I’ve come up with my own yearly standard for what veggies to plant season by season in Australia

Hi everyone,

I’ve created a very simple garden planting calendar for anyone who wants to know what veggies to plant now in Australia.

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 veggies I personally plant each season, as well as my free planting calendar below.

Happy growing!

Phoebe
