Afternoon all.Any suggestions as to autumn/winter vegetable plantings for the mid north of South Australia,or is there a reference to that on google.Regards…………..AL
- brussel sprouts, brocolli, cabbage and cauliflowers
- carrots, parsnip, radish and turnip
- celery, leeks, onions and garlic
- lettuce, kale, spinach and silver beet.
Also try planting strawberries, broad beans and peas a little later. Frost will kill the flowers of broad beans and peas but not the plant.
Or just check ‘Pete’s patch’ on this forum for an annual planting and rotation guide for frost prone areas.
Thanks Pepe……….AL

I’m not too far away Al. My mother always grew a crop of peas before the frosts and waited then grew another crop that flowered after the frosts.
Broad beans may be better planted in April/May.
got a link to Pete’s patch anyone?

yep – altho’ they do some strange things down there (spuds in july?) and it is a beautiful cared for patch – and so gives ideas apart from seasonal plantings – size of crop, preparation etc are all good

Pete always claimed that broad beans planted in Autumn were more pest and disease resistant than those planted in Spring.

Pity I hate broad beans! At least there are plenty of other things to plant. I have onions, broccoli, kohl rabi, cauli, swedes, carrots, parsnips, mesclun mix all sown and starting to germinate…yay!
Sorry about my late response but have been working.Thanks for the input people and like Roughbark said and others,the climates in Tassie are a lot different to the mid north.Not to be deterred,this intrepid gardener is off to the GA expo in Adelaide tomorrow (Sunday) on return his head should be spinning with information,Regards……AL
