Monthly Planting Guide: What to Grow in February in #Australia
February 6, 2025
"As summer continues in Australia, February is an excellent time to plan and plant your garden for the season ahead. Whether you're growing in a backyard, balcony, or raised garden bed like a Vegepod, choosing the right vegetables and herbs for your region will ensure a thriving, productive garden.
In this guide, we’ll explore the best vegetables and herbs to grow in different Australian climates, provide expert tips on soil, watering, and sunlight and share recipe ideas to make the most of your fresh harvest.
Managing February weather impacts on growth
Australia’s February weather can be unpredictable, with heatwaves, dry spells and tropical storms affecting growth. Here’s how to manage these conditions:
● Heatwaves: Provide shade for delicate plants using a Vegepod Shade Cover. If you haven’t got one, you can purchase yours here.
● Dry conditions: Mulch around plants to retain moisture.
● Storms: Secure climbing plants and ensure proper drainage in your Vegepod to prevent waterlogging.
When to expect harvests & tips for successful yieldsMost vegetables take several weeks to mature, but here’s a rough timeline for February plantings:
● Carrots – 10-12 weeks
● Beetroot – 8-10 weeks
● Cucumber – 6-8 weeks
● Tomatoes – 8-12 weeks
Tips for a Successful Harvest:
● Pick vegetables at their peak ripeness for the best taste.
● Regularly prune herbs to encourage fresh growth.
● Rotate crops each season to prevent soil depletion and pest issues.

The tomatoes are winding down (we've had plenty the last couple of months), but the potato harvest is just beginning! I managed to win the battle against hornworms, potato bugs, and #ClimateChange (using collected #rainwater whenever possible to water them). Next weekend, we'll have some "gourmet" red potatoes for dinner!
