It's sowing vegetable seeds time

VEGETABLE GARDEN

Tray Sow - Succession sowing out Broad Beans, Peas, Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Spring Onions, Leeks, Silverbeet, Spinach, Tomatoes, Peppers,and Zucchini, Cucumber, Melon, Squash, Pumpkin, Courgettes, Lettuce and Capsicums

Plant - Sow under cover; frost cloth/tunnels or greenhouse/hothouse - Lettuce

Plant in Rows - Carrots, Beetroot

As the weather warming tray sow, chillies, may take longer if you plant at the start of the month, wait until the end of the month

As the end of the frost done, cut the tops of your Sage, Thyme and Mint, till get new growth for the summer harvest.

Great time to plant your own Herb Garden from seeds (some ideas parsley, rosemary, sage, and thyme)

Still on top of mounding potatoes, it will create more potatoes come Christmas

Labour weekend (Mon, 28 Oct 2024) best time to planting out Tomatoes

Keep on top of aphids and white cabbage butterfly, caterpillar, slugs and snails, with quash control or/and beer traps
