| Hello, I'm living in Brisbane ane I am still not shure when to plant what. How about climbing beans and zuchini now? There is a chart in the diggers club catalogue were subtropical and tropical climate is considered the same that means I can grow all the warm temperature things like tomatos, zuchini eggplant capsicum etc all year round. HOw do you think?
How about the more tropical plants like winged bean malabar spinach snake bean lablab bean? |

| Do get back to this Link that you posted before. I put heaps of Info on it for you. Autumn planting in Brisbane Perhaps you could buy a Yates Garden Guide There are Tables in it for every vegetable and when to plant. Nothing like having a book handy.....MM. |

| Hedwig - try everything. Unlike the frost biters down south you can grow just about any of the "normal" summer crops up here during the "winter" - - unless you are in an area of Brisbane that suffers from frosts...LOL try them, if they grow you know that you can plant them next year - all it will cost is $2 for a punnet. I've given up trying to grow most things during the summer up here (Dicky Beach, Sunshine Coast) because when the food plants are growing so are the voracious food plant eaters. Try, enjoy and love the fruits of your garden. |

| g'day hedwig, your safe bets will be the brassicas, potatoes, onions, garlic & beans. deopending on the micro climate of your yard and how much sun it gets will determine how well those plants will go. there will be no carte-blanche list as such all list are suggestions as is all help given here and like has been said try it see how it goes that is the best way to work out what will work for you in your micro-climate. tomatoes and capsicums etc.,. will do well if you have a warm position with good sun they will of course take longer to mature over the shorter winter days that are coming. zucchini's pumpkins etc,.? if you have a well drained spot that gets almost maximum sun they could do ok but will take a long time to mature, the down side here is powdery mildew will be the big enemy. at present with night time temp's falling i would suggest buying seedlings as seeds may not germinate that well in the cooler medium. len |
