What To Plant In Springtime In Australia

Spring season in Australia is the time to start planting your favourite plants in the garden. The spring season runs from September to November, leaving us three months to plant our gardens in order to produce the healthiest fruits and vegetables.

Planting Your Spring Garden

Preparing your garden for planting in the spring is the best starting point. Start by picking up spent plants, raking up leaves, and eradicating weeds. After that, apply a slow-release fertilizer and work it gently into the soil.

Now that your garden is ready, find a good spot to plant. The best place to grow vegetables is in a sunny, protected area, but if there isn't one in your garden, try growing some pots that can be moved around to catch the light.
