What Seeds To Sow in August
Spring is just around the corner, 4 weeks and counting! There are an abundance of veggie and flower seeds that can be sown now in many parts of Australia.
In cooler climates, you may want to hold off a few more weeks until around the end of August, when any signs of frosts have passed. Starting them off in a greenhouse and then transferring into the garden at around 6 weeks of growth.
You can check out our Australian Seed Sowing Calendar here for a detailed list of what to sow in each Australian Climate Zone. This is a rough guide to each climate, as each climate can vary depending on where you live.
If you haven't seen our beautiful new flower seed collection for spring 2024 sowing you can view them here.
