Does anyone have tips for what to plant for fall / winter season? I'm in the southern hemisphere and my community Garden plot has gone to seed. Was producing zucchini capsicum, chili peppers, kale, silverbeet, beans and tomatoes.
What should I plant now for a temperate climate? We don't get any snow, even frost is pretty rare. Very sunny garden plot. Soil tends towards dry.
Usually my mum picks out what we're growing. But she's 70+, suffers from chronic respiratory illnesses and is self isolating with Dad.
Any and all advice is appreciated.
Just off the top of my head, veggies that do well in cooler weather include almost anything leafy and the Cole crops:
Kale, Arugula/Rocket, Lettuce, Swiss Chard, Mustard Greens, Spinach, Cabbage, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Kohlrabi, Bok Choy...
Also some root veggies: Carrots, Radish, Turnip/Rutabaga/Swede, Parsnips, Beets, Onions...
You can also plant garlic in the fall and it will be ready to harvest in the summer.
Hope this give you some ideas. Google search each item you want to grow and put your area in the search box and you should find lots of advice out there. If you get seeds or plants from a garden center they will usually have guidelines written on them too on when to plant, how much sun, how far apart, etc, for your specific area. Good luck and let us know what you decide to grow!
