As harvest time draws to a close, it's time to replant the vegetable patch with more produce to enjoy over the cooler months.
What to sow: Hardy all-year-round veges beetroot, spinach, carrots, winter lettuce, radishes and silverbeet.
Use a seed-raising mix as a base to ensure best results.
Carrots will take a week or two to germinate but will establish themselves before long. Thinning of carrots is important in autumn and winter as the growth is slower - thinning enables the roots to develop faster.
What to plant: You can plant most seedlings you find at the garden centre. Seedlings are a brilliant way to fast-track harvest in the vege garden. Now is the perfect time to plant all members of the brassica family (cabbage, caulis and broccoli, bok choy, kale, cavalo nero), as they enjoy the cooler temperatures. Plant at least two hand-widths apart as they will grow quickly.
