Plantings in Melbourne
Replanting some self seeded lettuce today got me thinking of the the next
harvest to plant. I am getting ready to rip out the tomato plants. I might get a little more from the cucumbers but they have started to die back and the fruit is not growing so consistantly. What seedlings can be planted now? Anyone got a good gardening site that lists what can be grown at different months in Melbourne? Liz |

u... Replanting some self seeded lettuce today got me thinking of the the next harvest to plant. I am getting ready to rip out the tomato plants. I might get a little more from the cucumbers but they have started to die back and the fruit is not growing so consistantly. What seedlings can be planted now? Anyone got a good gardening site that lists what can be grown at different months in Melbourne? Liz the digger's club has a chart for all the seasons, heat & cold zones, & what to plant when... i believe you need to buy it though :-) if you're not with digger's i'd truly recommend you (or anyone) join! i love them. after consulting my chart, melbourne appears to be in a warm zone, so plant anything that's NOT strictly a summer (frost senstive) veg. .e.g. carrots, onions, beetroot & the other roots of various families will be good (probably not potatoes unless you can protect them), the frost-proof leafies (spinach, lettuce etc), all the brassicas, any frost-proof herbs (iirc (heh) i just planted dill, parsley, thyme, lemon balm, coriander & some others). celery is good for winter but afaik should have been started already, so use seedlings & make sure they never dry out). plant peas (but NOT beans), however, the frost will kill the flowers (although not the leaves) so you may have to protect the flowers at night as it gets cooler. hth kylie |
