What Vegetables To Plant Now In Sydney

My brother Fergus in his Sydney courtyard where he’s growing lots of leafy greens like rocket this spring

In a world filled with never-ending choice sometimes you just want simplicity and I’ve found from having my own garden that, although I love to experiment, I keep planting the same few vegetables each season because basically I eat a lot of the same things.

If you’ve been wondering what vegetables to plant now in Sydney this spring, let me help you out. While there are multiple options and numerous varieties always, I’ve pulled together 5 great vegetables to plant in Sydney each season that are easy to grow — including for right now in spring.

I’m very partial to planting my own organic vegetables from seed, so if you are in the practice of doing that, I recommend planting your seeds at the start of each season to give you more time for them to grow. Happy simplicity!
