Winter is a very rewarding time to garden on the Sunshine Coast. The cooler temperatures make it easier to grow delicious vegetables, herbs and fruit without too much effort. Here’s what’s ready to harvest right now, and what to plant for a fruitful spring.
Winter offers the perfect conditions for a wide range of fruit trees, veggies and herbs across South East Queensland. The cooler days reduce stress on your plants and give them the chance to grow steadily and develop strong roots.
Leafy greens and root vegetables perform well this time of year, and herbs like coriander and mint flourish. It’s also a great season to establish citrus, berries and garlic, because these plants will have time to settle into your garden before spring growth kicks off.
With the right preparations in place, winter planting sets your garden up for months of success.
