What To Grow Now In Melbourne, By The Seasons

Some of the veggies I’ve been growing in my backyard

I recently moved out of my inner city cottage and when I looked back at some photos I was going to use for a reel on Instagram, I realised I had inadvertently captured what to grow, season by season! When I first started growing veggies in my own garden I had some idea of what to plant when, but the rest I only confirmed by experimenting for a few seasons and seeing what worked.

There are a million options of what you can grow now in Melbourne, especially if you are growing from seed (I almost always do), but here are a few things I grow each time now. My biggest tip is to grow what you eat the most and prioritise lots of that!
