Planting Season, one book for every Australian climate.

The subtropical calendar that finally matches the weather outside. Winter is the real planting season up here, and this book proves it.

The one place where the four-season books almost work, and "almost" is what kills your tomatoes. The calendar built around the false spring and the Cup Day rule.

The warm-temperate climate nobody writes for, where the frost-free coast and the frosty west are two different gardens an hour apart. The widest growing range of any Australian capital.

The best winter growing climate in the country, on the worst soil, behind the driest summer. Fix the sand, plant in September, and the winter garden out-produces the rest of the year.

The driest capital in the driest state, with a Mediterranean climate that comes with frost, the best vegetable hills in the country, and freedom from fruit fly worth defending.
