Australian Spring Vegetable Planting Guide
Spring has arrived and there has never been a better time to grow your own food.
Growing veggies from seed in your backyard reduces food miles, packaging, the cost of living, increases for vegetable intake and promotes biodiversity at home.
The act of gardening and being outside in the nature calms the mind, as well as benefiting the physical body.
If you are new to growing your food from home; start your seeds off in a greenhouse, 4 weeks before the last frost. Once your seedlings have about 6 weeks worth of growth they can be transfer to the garden.
Hardening off the seedlings first will prevent any transplant shock. Spend a week letting your seedlings adjust slowly to the outside world by building up from an hour a day out of the greenhouse to 5 hours before transplanting.
