Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Welcome to Southern Harvest. We are a family-run business that is all about growing - growing healthy, interesting food to share with family and friends, as well as native and cottage plants that bring colour, fragrance and habitat to the garden. Southern Harvest supplies you with quality cottage garden, native and vegetable and herb packet seed, with speedy service and advice.

Nestled on 5 acres at the foothills of Mt Wellington in southern Tasmania, our winters are cold with regular frosts, so we value (and specialise in) plants for cool climates. We know the pleasure and reward of growing a bit of colour for the winterbare garden, as well as having something to take straight from the garden to the kitchen on those dark winter nights. Our daughters, Poppy and Bea, who inspired our logo, are a constant reminder of the joy and good health that gardens can bring to the young, the old and everyone between. We also grow organic garlic that we sell through Salamanca Market or over the internet. We stock a wide range of seeds both old and new varieties, we especially love heirloom (or heritage) seeds and the history associated with them.Check the website to see if the seeds are in stock.

The catalogue is still under construction. We will have extensive growing notes appearing under each of the headings/categories soon to help make it easier for you.

Enjoy the catalogue.

To Sow Direct or into Trays/Pots for later Transplanting?

With flower seed you generally get a better germination rate by sowing in trays or pots to transplant latter, as you can control the conditions better (moisture, seed depth, temperature, pests). Sowing directly into a garden bed there are a number of things that can go wrong (especially if the bed already has established plants in it). For example, people some them and forget to water them (if they get wet and dry out it is not good for the seed viability), the birds scratch up the seed or seedlings, ants pinch your seed (they love the perennial cornflower seed for some reason), slugs and snails eat your seedlings, established plants crowd them out, someone thinks they are weeds and pull them out. There is nothing wrong with sowing direct into established bed but if you do so mark where you sow the seed (with plant tags or a stick in the ground), lay out some snail and slug traps or pellets, water that area until they come up and sing to them as well if you like : )

Sowing Instructions

The plant descriptions include a number at the end. This refers to the sowing instructions, outlined below.

No.1 Fast germinating seeds (eg. Centaurea) Raise in trays or sow direct into garden. Cover seeds thinly, keep moist and warm, about 20C (very fine seeds do not need to be covered, but press firmly onto soil with a flat board). Best sown in spring and summer.

No.2 Sow direct (eg. Poppies) into garden position from late summer until early spring.

No.3 Cold germinating seeds (eg.Eryngium) Ideally sown in late summer and autumn in a container. Cover seeds thinly and keep them moist and warm around 20C for the first 4 weeks. For the cold period of the next 4-6 weeks put container in the fridge or leave outside in winter at -4 to 4C. Keep container in a shady, cool spot and slowly raise temperature after germination has started.

No.4 Warm germinating seeds (eg. Cobaea) Allow these seeds to germinate under very warm (22C or more) and moist conditions. Best sown in spring and summer.

No.5 Hot water treatment (eg. Acacia) Use sandpaper to slightly damage the seed shell. Then put the seeds in a glass jar and pour boiling hot water over the seeds. Let them soak over night and plant into single pots the next day. Cover the seeds with soil (of the same thickness as the diameter of the seed) and keep them moist and warm at 20C.

No.6 Sow as soon as possible (eg. Waratah) and raise seeds in deep trays or sow in individual pots. Cover seeds thinly, keep them moist and in a shady and warm place (20 to 22C).

No.7 For long germinating seeds (up to 12 months; e.g. Paeonia). In late summer and autumn stratify the seeds in large pots (place seeds in layers of moist sand) and keep them outside in a shady position. Check regularly, especially in spring if germination has occurred, and if so, transfer seeds directly into single pots. Keep moist and shady.

No.8 Large hard shelled seeds (eg. Lupins) Use sandpaper to damage the seed shell and leave in water over night to make seeds swell. Cover the seeds with soil (same thickness as diameter of seed). Keep moist at 20C.

No.9 Erratic Germinators (eg. Arthropodium) Sow in trays and cover seeds thinly; keep moist and warm around 20C. If germination has not occurred after 6 weeks put seed trays outside in a cooler position. These seeds are best sown during the colder months in early autumn.

No.10 Large hard shelled seeds (eg. Lupins) Use sandpaper to damage the seed shell and leave in water over night to make seeds swell. Cover the seeds with soil (same thickness as diameter of seed). Keep moist and cool 5-8C. Not suitable for tropics.

The following Salt Zones are referred to in the plant descriptions: Zone 1 - most exposed of sea coast gardens

www.southernharvest.com.au ph:03 6229 6795 mb:0439 460 411 Zone 2 - plants are able to tolerate some salt in the soil and deposits on leaves Zone 3 - most protected areas with wind breaks

Beetroot (Beta vulgaris)

Sds/g: 30-75 Feed Requirements: Low Opt. Germination Temp: 10-28?C

Planting & Harvesting Guide:

Cultural Notes: Pulling fresh, crisp, healthy beetroot from the garden makes you wonder why we put up with those soft fleshed excuses from the supermarket. Beetroot is super healthy with high levels of anti-oxidants and potassium (which helps keep blood pressure down and reduces the risk of strokes). We loved it peeled and grated raw with walnuts or sunflower seeds and balsamic vinegar tossed through it. Throw some young beetroot leaves into a salad. - Beetroot can grow in most soils (including clays) provided the top 10cm of soil are loosened as the edible root grows near the surface. When aerating the soil mix in 2 cm of compost or well rotted manure. Once beetroot is stressed, reach full size or go to seed they tend to become woody and lose their sweetness. Sow every 2 weeks to ensure a constant supply without the beetroot going woody. Sow seed every few cm in rows 45-60cm apart. Thin seedlings when they are about 10cm tall and again when they start to look crowded. With the second thinning you can usually use the small bulb and greens.

Harvest: - Harvest when the beetroot reaches your desired size. Do not leave in the ground for too long once it has reached its mature size as it will go woody unless you have hit mid-autumn. Most varieties handle cold winters well and can be ‘stored’ in the ground until needed. If you live in a very frosty area protect your overwintering beetroots by hilling up some soil over the roots. If the roots freeze they will rot once thawed.

Bean, Broad (Vicia faba)

Sds/g: 1 Feed Requirements: Low

Planting & Harvesting Guide:

Cultural Notes: - Also known as Faba or fava beans. They are frost hardy to about -5 oC but do not like hot weather. Broad beans may be sown mid to late autumn and overwintered to provide food in early spring, 3-4 weeks before seed sown in spring. Sow seed 3-5 cm deep 20-30 cm (spring sown) to 30-40 cm (autumn/winter sown) apart in rows 60-70 cm apart. Provided there is moisture in the soil irrigation is not recommended until about 2 weeks after planting as too much water at seeding slows growth and may increase root rots. Some varieties are also grown for forage and as a green-manure or cover crop.

Problems: - Poorly drained soils and extended bad weather can cause black spots on the leaves and even plants to die.

Harvest: - Immature beans can be eaten pods and all, the mature beans should be podded and eaten in stews, soups, boiled or roasted for a snack food. Once they start to become too firm and starchy it is best to leave them on the plant a bit longer then picked and left to dry, which can be added to soups, ground to a flour and used for falafel or saved for seed stock.

Brocolli (Brassica oleracea italica) Sds/g: 240-350 Opt Germ. Range: 14-30 oC Feed Requirements: Moderate + sidedress

Planting & Harvesting Guide:

Cultural Notes: - A great veggie to grow as it is vigorous, tasty and cold hardy, although it does not appreciate too much heat at the height of summer, making seedlings very leggy (some growers do not plant in Nov-early Jan for this reason and by the time this broccoli is ready to harvest your garden should be in full swing). If you plan your garden properly broccoli can be harvest for all but 8-10 weeks of the year. The Italian broccoli is the type that appears in all the supermarkets. Plant 4-6 seeds 1cm deep with a min spacing of 60x 60cm in spring through to mid-Feb, thin to the strongest plant. Seedlings can be started in early August and planted out at the 5-6 leaf stage. When planting out it can be a good idea to sow a mixture of varieties with differing maturity dates so that you do not have a glut of broccoli that is left to flower due to an ovedose (try our Brocolli blend or mix up your own). In a cold winter the Italian varieties will freeze out or stop producing side shoots. However, the purple sprouting broccoli are much hardier and will last out the winter and produce great heads in late winter and spring when there is little other action happening in the garden. In areas with a cold winter such as the Derwent Valley or Lorinna plant your seeds early in the new year, mid to late Jan elsewhere. To promote good head formation provide the plants with a good feed when the spring bulbs appear. Purple sprouting broccoli is a biannual so it needs to overwinter in order to head up. For both types provide plenty of fertiliser and water regularily. - Brocolli has a ridiculous number of vitamins and minerals and has been subject to large amounts of research due to its high levels of anti-oxidants and phytochemicals--sulforaphane and the indoles- providing it with significant anti-cancer effects. It is great raw with dips or lightly steamed (best not boiled as this greatly reduces many of the nutrients in broccoli eg. 56% of vitamin B folate is lost from boiling).

Problems: - The main problem is the cabbage grub laid by the white cabbage moth, these can be controlled by regular sprayings of Dipel (which organic growers are allowed to use as it is a non-toxic biological control).

Harvest: - Cut the heads when the beads begin to swell, this will also trigger side shoots to develop from each leaf notch. More side shoots tend to develop off the slower maturing varieties.

Sds/g: 250-350 Feed Requirements: Moderate Usual Seed Life: 3-4 years

Cultural Notes:

Later maturing varieties are taller, more productive and tend to be a bit easier to grow. Brussels sprouts will grow on heavier soils where cabbage and broccoli tend to struggle but they grow best on a well-drained, loam soil well supplied with organic matter. Plant seed 1cm deep and space with 75 x 90cm centres. Feed similar as to broccoli but with less nitrogen oomph, otherwise the plants will get too tall and blow over in the wind unless adequately staked.

Problems:

Aphids and cabbage worms are the biggest problems. Spray Dipel for the cabbage worms and pyrethrum for the aphids until the chill of autumn arrives.

Harvest:

Frosts increase the sugar content, the tightness and tenderness of the buds. As harvesting from the bottom-up pull off the leaves as you go so that more energy is put into the developing buds.

Brassica Family for Health:

Much research has focused on the beneficial phytochemicals and sulpher containing compounds in the brassica family (eg. cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts and some Asian greens). These help activate and stabilize the body's antioxidant and detoxification mechanisms that dismantle and eliminate cancer-producing substances. Recent studies show that people who eat more Brassica family vegetables have a much lower risk of breast, prostrate and colon cancer and they have a positive effect on peptic ulcers. To get the most out of these vegetables they should be lightly sautéed, steamed or eaten raw.

Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris)

Sds/g: 3-5 Feed Requirements: Low Opt Germ. Range: 15-19 oC

Planting & Harvesting Guide:

Cultural Notes: - Bean seed needs a soil temperature of at least 15 ºC to sprout happily, cold soil slows germination and makes seedling very unhappy. Plant your bush and climbing bean seed at the same time. Bush beans start producing once broad beans have finished being harvested, once the bush beans are finished you can start harvesting climbing beans and runner beans. Climbing beans crop over a longer period and yiled a much larger quantity than bush beans. - Too much nitrogen results in excess foliage, poor pod set and delayed maturity- so while some fertiliser and compost should be dug into the bed a couple of weeks before planting - go easy. Sow seed 3-4cm deep and 5-10cm apart in rows 60-70cm apart and thin seedlings once well established to 15-20cm apart. If you prefer bush beans to the climbing varieties then sow a succession of short rows every 3 weeks for fresh eating. Excess beans can always be blanched and frozen. - Many people believe that climbing beans are tastier than bush beans, we love ours raw or steamed with butter, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice. For climbing beans set up a trellis, poles, strings or some sort of system to 2m that allows the beans to climb up before sowing seed 3-4 cm deep and 10-15 cm apart in rows 90-100cm apart, thinning established seedlings to 25-30cm.

-Soybeans are frost tender and need to be sown after final frost and when soil temperature has reached >13 degC. For faster germination sow at >20degC. In southern NSW, Vic, Tas and SA sow no later than mid November. Queensland can be sown up to mid Jan.

Problems: - No real worries here except if your soil is not up to scratch or you were hit by some foul wet weather early on and the plants did not recover so well. - Climbing beans loathe wind!!

Harvest: - Best picked before the beans reach full size as they have a firmer and crisper flesh than you will find in any supermarket. Once they get more mature and the seeds start forming they tend to get more fibrous. Continually pick to increase the yield and extend harvest, although a bush beans will tend to produce all at once. Once the bush beans start to get fibrous we tend to pull them out as the climbing beans have started producing. It is essential to continually harvest climbing beans to keep the plant vigorous and producing.

Cultural Notes:

Runner beans (aka 7 year bean) grow best in cooler temperatures or partially shaded areas. If given the room they will easily grow over 2m. Fertilise like the other beans except give them a lot more space, 1 square metres of growing room. Do not forget to put in some system of support that they can climb up (but make longer than for climbing beans). They are known as a 7 year bean as they are a perennial bean. However, in areas with very harsh winters or poorly drained soil the root structure will not survive the cold or will rot. Not only is the Scarlet Runner a beautiful ornamental with bright red blossoms it is also one of the tastiest beans.

Problems:

Wind is a problem with these, try to plant in a sheltered spot.

Harvest:

Pick continually and before the pods are fully grown to get the best tasting beans and to extend the harvest and yield.

Cultural Notes:

Cabbages grow beautifully in Tasmania. They grow best with sufficient soil moisture through the growing season, large fluctuations in moisture can cause the heads to split due to rapid growth. Cabbages are heavy feeders and prefer a between pH 6.5 - 7.0 for good yields. For early cabbages (e) plant out transplant or sow seed from mid- September, space smaller headed varieties with 50cm x 50cm centres or larger varieties with 60cm x60 cm centres. Main season cabbages can be planted from late October through to the end of December and late cabbage varieties from late December to mid-February (if using the quicker maturing varieties). The late varieties store well in the ground overwinter. As main and late season varieties are larger framed, with larger heads they should be planted out with 75 cm – 90 cm centres. Cabbages that are planted too close together will not head properly. Seed 3-5 seeds in each spot, 0.5cm – 1cm deep and thin to leave the healthiest. Asian cabbage (eg. Wong Bok) are generally grown in the cooler months as they are fast growing and can run to seed easily with heat. The cool weather also makes them taste better.

Problems:

As always keep on top of slugs, especially for early sowings as the weather is warming and there is plenty of moisture still around. Cabbage grubs need to be controlled with regular sprayings of Dipel.

Harvest:

Early varieties need to be harvested promptly as they mature fast. Late varieties will hold much longer in late summer and autumn as their growth rates drop. Younger heads that are green and still growing are the best storers.

Sds/g: 150-160 Feed Requirements: Moderate (chilli) – Heavy (larger capsicums) Usual Seed Life: 2 years

Cultural Notes:

Capsicums can be tricky to grow in some Tasmania, especially the higher elevation areas and valleys where frosts stay late and arrive early. Generally, the smaller fruited varieties will mature earlier and more prolifically, as a result we have had no problems with prolific chilli bushes here. Capsicums and chillis are very frost sensitive, however, we have overwintered capsicum/chilli bushes in a hothouse and they have grown to over 1.2 m high and produced huge amounts of fruit in their second year. In cooler climates such as Tasmania: Seed is started at the end of winter and transplanted out at the end of October on the east and north coasts and mid-November in the inland areas. When transplanting incorporate plenty of compost and fertiliser into the soil and space on 40-60 cm centres. To produce a greater quantity of sweeter fruit mulch with black plastic around the base of each plant. It is wise to stake all plants if your garden is in a windy spot or to keep the lower branches of larger fruited varieties off the ground. Side dress with an organic liquid fertiliser every 3 weeks up to the end of February to help plant growth and fruit production. If you are planning to overwintering a plant either transplant seedlings into large pot or carefully dig the plant at the end of the season (March inland and early April on the north and east coasts ) and replant or move the pot into a hothouse. Move back outside when you would normally plant your transplants and be ready for a huge crop.

Problems:

Cool snaps and cold nights can really set back or kill plants. Ensure plants are in a sheltered spot or on the north side of a fence or wall.

Harvest:

Varieties ripen from green to red, orange or yellow. As capsicum plants ripen they generally get thicker walls, juicier and sweeter while chilli plants also get thicker walls but also more pungent. Harvest full sized green fruit to early in the season to promote more flowering and fruit set. Chilli plants usually have a huge amount of fruit on them at the end of the season (March inland and early April on the north and east coasts), pick the ripe ones and dry or mince into a paste. Leave the green ones on the plant and pull the plant out roots and all, shake off excess soil and hang upside down out of the sun to let the fruit ripen and dry.

Sds/g: 600-900 Feed Requirements: Low Usual Seed Life: 2-3 yrs

Cultural Notes:

Carrots are a great crop for the home grower as they produce great yields per square metre of space, they taste crisp, sweet and fresh. Additionally, they are packed with lots of nutrition (they are an excellent source of antioxidant compounds that help protect against cardiovascular disease and cancer and also promote good vision. They are the richest vegetable source of the pro-vitamin A carotenes and have high levels of Vitamin K). Plant seed into a part of the garden that was well fertilised for prior crop as soil that has too much nitrogen will cause the roots to put more effort into leaf growth than go searching for food, resulting them to fork or not form long roots and diminish their flavour. Work the soil well up to 30 cm, clods will also cause forked roots. If you have clay closer to the surface than this do not mix the clay with the topsoil, try planting varieties with small or medium length roots. The hardest part is getting the fine seed to germinate as they are slow to germinate (10-21 days) and must be planted close to the surface, making mid to late summer sowings even trickier. We find it best to plant seed mixed thoroughly with finely sieved dry compost (once wet after sowing the organic matter will retain moisture longer) and sprinkled along furrows 6-12mm deep. The seed/compost mix also helps space the seed much more uniformly. It is important not to let the soil surface crust over as the seedlings will have trouble breaking through, in early spring when there is good moisture in the soil you have less problems germinating seed but in summer we find that by laying hessian or timber planks over the seed rows helps keep the soil to remain moist. Remove the hessian or planks as soon as the first seedlings emerge (and keep an eye out for any slugs that may also be loving the moist conditions!). Thinning is vital for uniform and full grown carrots, give between 3cm (baby) and 8cm for larger rooted varieties. Sow an extra few meters or rows in late January to mid-February of a winter holding variety if you want to store carrots in the ground to harvest over winter.

Problems:

Mound soil over orange crowns to help if rats and mice in over winter crops are a problem.

Harvest:

Harvest carrots as needed. A friend of ours uses the leaf like a parsley in carrot and orange soup. Over-wintered carrots will need to be harvested before the carrot even thinks about going to seed otherwise they will be woody and taste horrid.

Cultural Notes:

Transplants can be started indoors in the cooler months and planted out 4-5 weeks later after being hardened off and the days are lengthening. If the seedlings are any older or become root bound you will get a poor crop. Sow seed with a mix of varieties to spread the harvest period over a longer period from one sowing. The early spring plantings are the trickiest of the brassicas to grow. January and February plantings will head in autumn and winter. Overwintered varieties planted in late February and March will head up by the mid September. Cover the white curds of the head with leaves when frosts are likely in order to protect them from 'burning' and getting brown patches.

Problems:

Keep on top of slugs, especially for early sowings. Cabbage moth/grubs need to be controlled with regular sprayings of Dipel. Lack of molydenum in the soil causes weak leaves and poor curds.

Harvest:

Harvest tight curds and eat raw or cooked. Curds that mature in hot weather are generally of poorer quality.

Cultural Notes:

Celery can be a tricky vegetable to grow, requiring a lot of fertiliser and water throughout the season. The seeds are small and can take up to a couple of weeks to germinate. Once germinated seedlings can ‘just’ disappear (slugs love them) and if the weather turns cold again in late spring they think that they have had a taste of winter and go straight to seed. Bolting occurs when young plants experience temperatures below 13 ºC for 10 days or more. This is why it is recommended to plant in mid-spring when there is still moisture in the soil and the weather is warming up. transplants can be started in early August (they take 10-12 weeks to be ready for transplanting) and planted out in October, however, the roots systems tend to suffer through transplanting. We find the herb or cutting celery easier to grow and still has the distinct celery taste and crispness, the stems are not as thick but they can still be used in soups or for dips. Sow a generous amount of seed 5-7mm deep, 25-30cm apart in rows 75 m apart. Grow celeriac like celery.

Problems:

Slugs and under watering are the biggest problems for celery.

Harvest:

Harvest outer stems as needed as celery tolerates continuous harvests. Celery can survive light frosts and can be harvested over winter but will keel over in cold valleys or at altitude. Harvest celeriac bulbs when needed and peel off outer layer.

Sds/g: 500-900 Feed Requirements: Low Usual Seed Life: 4 years

Cultural Notes:

Generally, the chicory family grows best in cool weather (Italian dandelion can be grown successfully year-round though) and frosts enhance their flavour. Hot weather can make them extremely bitter, while frosts make them tastier and less bitter. If you love your chicories and want some in spring grow the earlier/faster-maturing varieties, leave the heading varieties for autumn and winter harvest as they are slower growing and will taste very bitter if planted in spring. Escarole is the most mild of the chicories. There are leaf and heading varieties. Sow seed 1 cm deep in rows 45 cm apart. Thin leaf varieties to 8 – 10 cm. February sowings of heading varieties should be thinned to 45 cm and late March/early April to about 30 cm.

Problems:

Over-wintered crop may rot or suffer from moulds and mildews if there is a lot of rain, so if you live in a wet area keep them covered or at least well spaced and in a spot with good air circulation.

Harvest:

Harvest leaf as required and/or for heading varieties harvest when there is a tight head. From an autumn sowing harvest or pull plants before the weather warms up and the plants start running to seed. Some endives can be blanched by tying the leaves up or placing a box (eg. Belgian Witlof)

Sds/g: 150-160 Feed Requirements: Moderate (chilli) – Heavy (larger chilli varieties) Usual Seed Life: 2-3 years

Cultural Notes:

Chilli can be tricky to grow in some Tasmania, especially the higher elevation areas and valleys where frosts stay late and arrive early. Generally, the smaller fruited varieties will mature earlier and more prolifically, as a result we have had no problems with prolific chilli bushes here. Chillis are very frost sensitive, however, we have overwintered chilli bushes in a hothouse and they have grown to over 1.2 m high and produced huge amounts of fruit in their second year. In cooler climates such as Tasmania: Seed is started at the end of winter and transplanted out at the end of October on the east and north coasts and mid-November in the inland areas. When transplanting incorporate plenty of compost and fertiliser into the soil and space on 40-60 cm centres. To produce a greater quantity of sweeter fruit mulch with black plastic around the base of each plant. It is wise to stake all plants if your garden is in a windy spot or to keep the lower branches of larger fruited varieties off the ground. Side dress with an organic liquid fertiliser every 3 weeks up to the end of February to help plant growth and fruit production. If you are planning to overwintering a plant either transplant seedlings into large pot or carefully dig the plant at the end of the season (March inland and early April on the north and east coasts ) and replant or move the pot into a hothouse. Move back outside when you would normally plant your transplants and be ready for a huge crop.

Problems:

Cool snaps and cold nights can really set back or kill plants. Ensure plants are in a sheltered spot or on the north side of a fence or wall.

Sds/g: 4-10 Feed Requirements: Moderate-High Usual Seed Life: 2-3 years

Cultural Notes:

Sweet corn is frost tender so make sure that you sow seed after your last frost You will also have to wait until the soil warms up as seed will not germinate well below 15ºC. Tasmania needs earlier maturing varieties in order to receive a good crop, late maturing varieties will rarely receive enough heat units to be mature and sweet by the end of summer. Mid season varieties will provide a sufficient crop in a good summer. Plant 2 seeds together 4 cm deep and 30 cm apart from the next pair of seeds in rows 90 cm apart. Make sure that you plant at least 2 rows side by side to ensure better pollination and fuller ears of corn. The bigger the block of corn the better. Corn is a heavy feeder and needs plenty of water (space further apart if you wish to water less). If you have enough room plant a few varieties that mature at different times to spread your harvest over a longer period.

Problems:

Earworms can be a problem. Some people use Dipel against these or put a few drops of mineral oil onto the silks to substantially reduce damage from earworms.

Harvest:

Generally, the later the variety the sweeter the cob. We always peel back the ends of a few ears with dry and browning silks and squeeze some kernels, if they are full and ‘milky’ they are ready to eat.

Cultural Notes:

Kale is a great cold hardy vegetable that provides highly nutritious greens through winter. It has all the great health benefits of the brassicas (refer box) and is an excellent source of beta-carotone/vitamen A and vitamin C ( 1 cup provides over 190% and 88% respectively of our daily requirement). Kale is relatively easy to grow and only needs a moderate amount of fertiliser and compost, just do not plant too close and keep well weeded when getting established. Good spacing for winter aids good air flow helping prevent any mildew and aphids. Plant 10 – 12 weeks prior to your first frost for a good winter crop of greens. 4-6 full grown plants should see a family through the frostiest valley or highland winters.

Problems:

Some Dipel may be needed to control the white grubs when you see the white butterfly hovering about.

Harvest:

Use leaves soon after they are cut as they become less flavoursome and a bit tough if left too long. As autumn and winter progress they increase in eating quality as the cold and frost tend to enhance their sweetness. Leaf growth in late winter and early spring occurs earlier than most other spring plants and make delicious eating. In September the seed stalks and flower heads can be used like broccoli.

Cultural Notes:

An underated vegie in Australia, well loved in eastern Europe. The swollen stem of kohlrabi can be used in soups or grated with half an onion and eaten raw. As it does not like hot weather it is grown in early spring, late summer and early autumn. An average feeder, sow seeds 1 cm deep in rows 45 cm apart, thin to 10-15 cm apart. Kohlrabi mature in less than 2 months and to ensure that they remain tender and flavoursome they must have consistent growth and adequate water.

Problems:

No real issues except cabbage moth can be an issue if around when growing.

Harvest:

The late sowings can be kept in the ground over winter but the spring sowings must be harvested on the early side to be crisp and tender. Once kohlrabi matures they rapidly become tough, woody and inedible.

Cultural Notes:

There are two ways to grow leek in your garden. The first is if you have plenty of room in your garden is to sow seed 5 mm deep into trenches 10 cm deep (place the soil dug out next to the trench) in rows 50 cm apart and thin plants to 10 – 12 cm apart. As the leeks grow place the soil from trench around the base of the leeks but below the lowest leaf sheaf to avoid dirt in your leek. This will blanch the base of the leeks. The second method: As leeks are slow-growing and if you do not have a lot of room in your garden either start your leeks into a well fertilised seedling bed so they grow quickly and get quiet leggy. When the seedlings are about pencil thickness transplant 10 - 12 cm apart to the bed they will mature using a dibbler to plant just below the first leaf sheaf or to the trench system described above. Leeks will survive Tasmania’s winter. Or sow into punnets to transplant later.

Harvest:

Use thinnings like spring onions. Leeks planted in December and early January will be the best size to harvest over winter, the earlier planting may be a lot larger and fibrous.

Cultural Notes:

An essential to grow in the garden or containers as the supermarket greens never taste as good freshly picked. Packaged supermarket salad greens may be treated with a chlorine-containing compound and/or an antioxidant or preservative during washing or before packaging. Lettuce may be harvested 12 months of the year in Tasmania, ensure that you grow the correct varieties to see you through winter and into early spring or grow in a greenhouse or cold frame. The four main types of lettuce eaten in Australia are crisphead (tight heads), butterhead (looser heads), cos/romaine and leaf. Most lettuce varieties prefer cool weather to grow (16-18ºC) and this is especially true of the heading types, so it is best to sow them up to the end of October. Cos and leaf varieties grow better through the heat of summer. Lettuce requires large amounts of water as they have shallow root systems. Never let them go thirsty otherwise you will end up with bitter a bitter lettuce and they will tend to go to seed earlier. Over-mature lettuce (starting to go to seed) also tastes bitter. Seeds germinate best at 18-20ºC and even at temperatures as low as 5ºC, but germinate poorly above 24ºC (the seed can go dormant in high temperatures). Sow seed direct into soil (3-5 mm) that has had some compost and fertiliser worked in. For leaf varieties thin to 30cm apart and head and cos varities to 40cm apart. Rows should be about 40cm apart. For a continuous supply sow a mix of varieties every 3-4 weeks. If you are going to sow into punnets or cells do not overcrowd them because when transplanting and the root structures get stressed or broken when pulled apart they can be triggered into seed production early. Turning bitter and running to seed.

Problems:

Slugs and snails can cause havoc with seedlings. Once harvesting the lettuce give a good rinse or soak to get rid of any hiding in your dinner.

Harvest:

Harvest heads when firm or leaf as needed.

Cultural Notes:

Mustard greens love the cooler weather and can be eaten through winter if sown at the end of summer and early autumn. Choose the more frost tolerant varieties that will provide you with some pungent greens into winter and will not bolt until spring. Mustard greens usually provide our first spring greens from the garden. We plant either with our lettuce or just before, as they are quick growing we are able to harvest them before our lettuces have come on. They will goto seed in November as the days lengthen. Mustard greens are full of nutrients, providing good to excellent amounts of 8 vitamins, 7 minerals, dietary fiber and protein; and being a member of the Brassica family they also contain health-promoting phytochemicals. Provide plenty of nitrogen in your compost/fertiliser mix to allow really fast growth. Sow seeds 1cm deep in rows 40-50cm apart. Thin to 30cm apart in spring and 35-40cm apart in autumn.

Problems:

Slugs and snail in early spring.

Harvest:

Harvest leaves as needed and unopened flowers when they have gone to seed.

Sds/g: 400 Feed Requirements: Low Usual Seed Life: 12-18 months

Cultural Notes:

Grow in the same way as carrots. However, there are limited options for those with clay soils as to achieve long straight roots a well-worked deep (30+ cm) loam is needed. Sow into soil that has had compost and fertiliser from the previous crop, rich soil will produce hairy forked roots. Rows should be 30-45 cm apart thin to 10-12 cm. Seed normally needs 3 weeks to germinate, ensure the soil is kept moist before emergence (use hessian or planks like as explained under carrots to help).

Cultural Notes:

To avoid rotting roots through wetter months ensure the beds are well-drained.

Harvest:

Digs roots out as needed. Early planting will size up quite quickly and if allowed to grow too large their table qualities will suffer. Late plantings will keep through winter, frosty areas should hill over the crowns so they do not freeze. As frosts sweeten and enhance the flavour of parsnips we tend to just plant in January and not worry about the summer and early autumn harvests.

Cultural Notes:

Peas come in three main types- the classic shelling pea providing exploding balls of sweetness; the thick sweet fleshy pods of snap peas; and the snow pea to add crunch to your salad or stir fry. Peas like cool weather, producing a heavier and tastier crop than midsummer. Plant seed 2cm deep into soil that has had compost and fertiliser from the previous crop. Rows should be 40-60 cm apart and plants 7-10 cm apart within the rows. While it is great to plant seed as early as the soil can be worked (best to prepare a bed for peas in early autumn if you have heavier soil) the seed can take over a month to germinate in cool soil. So for early sowings pre sprout the seed indoors and plant out once the roots emerge. Sow autumn seed about 2 months before first frost. Areas without frost can sow seed in autumn for a late winter harvest

Problems:

Peas are affected by numerous diseases. To minimise these raise the beds so the pea’s feet do not get wet. The biggest problem will be powdery mildew once the weather warms up, once this hits pull them out to plant another crop.

Harvest:

Harvest shelling pas before they become fully mature and the sugar starts to turn to starch. Snow peas are harvested with flat pods, while the peas are just forming, and snap peas when the peas are more deveolped providing a fuller pod. Continuous harvesting of plants ensures a longer production period.

Cultural Notes:

One of our favourite veggies to eat and grow. Great for soups and roasting and also for good old baby mush. The orange and yellow fleshed pumpkins also have excellent health properties as these coloured veggies tend to have high levels of Vitamin C, carotenoids, antioxidants and bioflavonoids. The seed will not germinate in the ground if the soil is still cold and plants are very frost-sensitive. Optimum germination temperatures for seed are soil temperatures of 22-33 oC. So it can be good to get transplants going at the end of Sept and get them out into the ground after your last frost. Once they are going they do not mind soil temperatures below the optimum range. A lot of pumpkin varieties need every possible day they can in order to mature and ripen properly in Tasmania. Pumpkins are pretty easy to grow once they are going and if you provide them with plenty of water and nutrients they will reward you handsomely. Plant 4-6 seeds in a mound with lots of compost. Space sprawling vines with a 2-3m diameter. If fed properly they will soon take up this space. These varieties can be impossible to grow in smaller yards but we have some varieties that produce a compact bush similar in size to zucchinis, space these 1-2m apart.

Problems:

The biggest problem we have with ours is the native wildlife, with currwongs or ravens eating the new flowers and possums eating the ripening fruit. Downey mildew usually occurs in early-mid autumn, killing off the leaves. A damp cool spring can also bring on downey mildew and cause problems growth for seedlings, best to resow seed if this occurs.

Harvest:

While pumpkins can handle a light frost or two a heavy frost will damage them. Good keeping qualities allow you to store your pumpkin well into winter. Best stored in a cool room (12 oC) with plenty of airflow and low humidity. Be sure to use damaged fruit first.

Cultural Notes:

Radishes can be grown all year, just be sure to sow spring/summer varieties vs winter varieties at the correct times. For the best flavour ensure the crop has a constant soil moisture, if allowed to dry out and get too big radishes become tough and hot. So we prefer spring, late summer and early autumn plantings of salad radishes and the winter radishes sown in February and March. You may have more luck and patience with the watering can than us for summer sowings. Sow seed every 2-3 weeks for continuous harvests. See is fast germinating and the crops are fast growing. To make use of this we sow between other crops that require more spacing. That way by the time the other plants are getting to size we have harvested and eaten the radish, allowing more room for the other crop to grow into (roots and leaf).

Harvest:

Over mature radish will also taste tough and hot and as salad radishes are quick growing they must be harvested promptly. Winter radishes store well in the ground over winter and grow a lot larger than the salad radishes, peel off tough outer skin before use.

Cultural Notes:

A hardy vegetable that supplies essential greens through those lean winter months. Many prefer English spinach in taste but silverbeet is a lot easier to grow and has a longer harvest period. We like the leaf and stems in pies or steamed with fennel seed and a dash of rice vinegar. Silverbeet does not need very fertile soil but produces a lot better with sweeter leaves if given a moderate amount of compost and fertiliser. Sow seed 2cm deep in rows 50-60cm apart. Thin to 50-60cm apart. Eat thinnings once they reach a reasonable size. To encourage plant health and growth pull off the older, outer leaves to encourage new growth.

Problems:

Slugs and snail can reap havoc with seedlings, but once silverbeet has reached a reasonable size not much troubles it at all.

Harvest:

Harvest outer leaves as needed.

Cultural Notes:

There are two main varieties of spinach (1) the classic rounder leafed spinach that prefers cooler climates (generally known in Australia as English spinach) and (2) the arrow leafed spinach which can handle warmer weather (from SE Asia or Middle-East). English spinach germinates best in cooler soil and prefers to grow in cooler shorter days. Be aware that hot soils in February can reduce germination rates, so if hoping for a Feb sowing keep the beds cool with regular watering or wait for a bout of southerly weather. Provide plenty of nitrogen in your compost/fertiliser mix to allow for rapid growth. The arrow leafed spinach can also germinate in warmer temperatures and does not run to seed as easily when growing in the warmer months. In temperate and warmer climates this can almost be grown tear round. All spinach loves well-limed soil.

Problems:

Snails and slugs in early spring are a nuisance, devouring seedlings. While frost hardy spinach does not like wet winters and saturated root so ensure well drained beds and allow plenty of spacing between plants for air flow to prevent disease/mould.

Harvest:

Harvest leaves or plants as needed.

Cultural Notes:

We love spring onions as they are relatively fast to grow (compared to onions and leeks), they are available all year round and the whole plant can be used raw or cooked to give a great oniony flavour.

Problems:

Ensure that you do not plant rows any closer than 45 cm to allow for sufficient air flow through winter. This will help with winter rusts, mildews and moulds.

Harvest:

Eat your thinnings, which allows the remaining plants to grow bigger. If you have some clay in your soil loosen under the plants with a fork before pulling them out as you may leave the base in the soil. Great chopped fine in salads and sandwiches.

Cultural Notes:

Swedes are a high-yielding crop that have a huge versatility in the kitchen. They can be mashed, scalloped like potatoes, grated raw onto salads, included in a veggie burger mix, fried or plonked into soups and stews. Thinning is essential if you want decent-sized roots. Swedes store well in the ground over winter.

Problems:

Use Dipel spray if cabbage moths are flying around in the garden.

Harvest:

Harvest roots as required. Pull all remaining roots once the days get longer and warmer at the end of winter.

Sds/g: 300-400 Feed Requirements: Moderate Usual Seed Life: 4-6 years

Cultural Notes:

In cooler areas start seedlings indoors 5 – 6 weeks before your last frost and plant out in week 8 to be on the safe side. Plant deeper than the roots as the stem will form extra feeding roots. Do not start seedlings too early as root bound, leggy plants are bound to disappoint and be poor croppers. Determinate tomatoes form bushes that do not need to be pruned and produce fruit earlier but over a shorter period than indeterminates. Indeterminate tomatoes need to be trellised, trained up a string or staked. Given the room indeterminate varieties are prolific growers and will easily outgrow your average tomato stake. For best results plant against a high north-facing fence. Plant into soil with good organic matter and do not provide high nitrogen fertiliser, otherwise you will end up with excess leaf growth and late flowering. It is possible to force flowering by stressing the plant a bit with infrequent watering, however, once flowers have started ensure the plant gets regular water. Plant indeterminate seedlings with 80-120 cm centres and determinate seedlings with at least 50-90 cm centres.

Problems:

The best way to avoid problems with tomatoes is by supplying sufficient moisture applied at soil level and adequate calcium. As tomatoes respond very well to foliar feeds a good preventative is a seaweed foliar spray every 2 weeks.

Harvest:

Your homegrown tomatoes will taste better than any from the supermarket. Cherry tomato varieties ripen earliest. Unripened tomatoes should be harvested before the first frost. Either pull the plant and hang in a shed with good ventilation to avoid moulds or harvest tomatoes and ripen them in the house.

Cultural Notes:

Can be sown in early spring where they grow quickly and should be harvested before the weather gets too warm or they get heat-stressed as they will become woody. Early autumn sowings will last through winter.

Problems:

Use Dipel spray if cabbage moths are flying around in the garden.

Harvest:

Harvest plants for the roots before they fully mature to ensure that they are not too strong in flavour. Turnip greens are becoming increasingly popular in stir-fries and have huge health benefits as they are an excellent source of vitamin A (through their concentration of carotenoids such as beta-carotene), vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B6, folate, copper, calcium, and dietary fiber (three examples of conditions for which they may be of special importance are rheumatoid arthritis, colorectal cancer and atherosclerosis).
