*Sow indoors or undercover in trays or pots, for later
transplanting. #It is important to choose an appropriate variety
(winter-growing or summer-growing) for the time of year. • This
chart provides a guide to suitable sowing and planting times. Ideal
times will vary with the season, your locality and your garden
microclimate. • Sow or plant your winter vegetables in late summer
or early autumn well before the weather gets cold, as their growth
will slow down through the coldest months. Aim to plant your summer
vegetables as soon as the last frosts are over (local wisdom
suggests after Cup Day in the cooler areas) – although you can get
a head start by sowing seeds indoors in trays. • To ensure
seedlings sown indoors thrive, use a crumbly seed raising mix, make
sure they have plenty of light and use a spray bottle to keep the
soil moist. Also feed your seedlings by misting them a couple of
times per week with a weak seaweed solution and continue to apply
this once a fortnight after you transplant your seedlings. • Some
vegetables are best grown directly from seed in the bed where they
are to grow – for example, root vegetables such as carrots,
radishes, beetroots and parsnips; while zucchini, cucumbers and
coriander do not like having their roots disturbed by
transplanting.
