What to plant this month

Autumn is a great time to plant, as soil is still warm and plants have the winter to settle their roots and get ready to flourish in spring.

It's a great time to plant:

• Herbs like coriander and parsley
• Root vegetables like onions, radish, and carrots
• Fruit trees like apples, apricots, lemons, limes, feijoas, mandarins, and oranges
• Blueberries
• Rhubarb
• Brassicas like cauliflower, cabbage, and brussels sprouts
• Green leafy vegetables like silverbeet, kale, spinach, bok choi, and lettuce
• Leeks
• Peas

Harvest:

• Beetroot
• Bok choi
• Broccoli
• Cabbage
• Carrot
• Cauliflower
• Kale
• Leek
• Lettuce
• Mesclun
• Onion
• Parsley
• Potatoes
• Radish
• Silverbeet
• Spinach

Here's a quick tip:

If you have tomatoes, pull out plants and leave any green fruits on a windowsill to ripen in the sun (this may take a few weeks).
