I'm now getting the soil ready to plant more vegetables in Autumn! So why plant in Autumn:
Tomatoes
Capsicum
Chillies
I'm now getting the soil ready to plant more vegetables in Autumn! So why plant in Autumn:
The soil is still warm and roots grow strongly
Autumn plantings receive good rainfall in most parts of the country
As the humidity decreases so does the chance of diseases
Plants can establish themselves before the cold winter weather
What am I going to plant:
Broccoli
Harvest: Early Summer
Position: Full sun
Cauliflower
Harvest: Early Summer
Position: Full sun
Onions
Harvest: Winter - Spring
Position: Sun but will tolerate a little shade
Lettuce
Harvest: Winter - Spring
Position: Full sun but provide some shade in hot weather, if possible
Peas
Harvest: Summer
Position: Sun but will tolerate a little shade

Your garden looks great Erica!! Puts ours to shame :( Mind you i did make some awesom Tomatoe chutney the other week from ALL my toms & own onions aswell!! i felt like such a good wife :)
Great looking veges - well done. We just planted one a few weeks back and they are all growing well - it's very exciting for the boys to look after.
