Many vegetables can be grown all year round in Australian vegetable gardens, depending on the region you live in. The climate in the Adelaide Hills has extremes, from harsh frost to extreme hot weather days in summer. But despite the extremes, Sophie has learnt what works for her location and which same crops will survive and thrive all year round.
Sophie’s ‘all year rounder’ list includes lettuce, spring onion, bok choi and other Asian greens, beetroot, chard and kale. These are now regarded as staple crops in her household. Sophie has some of these crops growing at present in various locations, and at various stages of growth.
Sophie says, “every now and again, I read that Asian Greens are cool-season crops and need to be planted in March, but that is not my experience. I plant bok choy (3 punnets so 18 plants per one-metre square wicking bed) every month of the year with great results and usually have a bed of it ready for harvest each month. I start by harvesting smaller ones and thin out the planting, so larger varieties get more space to spread out.”
Sophie tends to plant as seedlings from punnets as this is a time saver.
She also practices crop rotation and avoids growing the same crop in the same soil all year round. This helps prevent nutrient depletion in the soil and can help with disease prevention.
Given that she staggers planting, this is easy to achieve. While one crop is maturing, say spring onions, she’ll start off another spring onion patch in another location.
Experiment with your own all year round crops, to see what works in your garden.

Nice....
I am progressively growing from seed. It works in better for succession gardening, and my systems and routines are matured.
I can get plugs for 40cents. I have around 80-100 mainly leafy greens in beds at any time, so growing from seeds saves me around $150pa.
My biggest tip is to get your systems right. I live in SE Qld, and use high tunnnels.... mesh during winter, and shadecloth or plastic in summer depending on heat and torrential rains. Doing so guarantees higher yields and extended season. The shadecloth delays bolting.
Wow - your garden has developed beautifully.
I remember when you moved there + it was quite barren.
WellDone.
Great to see.
ThankYou.
How many years have You been there now?
♥️🙏🏿
I like your garden sculptures! Do you have a video where you show these off?
Wow, you've got a beautiful garden. Love from India 🇮🇳 ❤
Love growing food at home
Tastes so much better when it's home grown
And my chooks produce the best tasting eggs
One chard is enough for 2 people? You need to eat a lot more greens! I've got a 2.4 x 1.2-metre bed filled with Chard and kale and it's enough for 2.
Lettuce is great all year round but needs a bit of shade in the hot summer.
Still, nice video
Great show people 💯💯💯 stay 💪💪💪😊😊😊
My lettuce is always bitter. This year I will only grow it on the shady side of taller plants like tomatoes and corn. Does anyone have any other tips?
Keep water supply steady too, and top it up in hot weather.
Thirsty and/ heat stressed plants tend to turn bitter, then bolt.
Found out the hard way.
You may be growing out of season, and the lettuce is bolting depending on locale. Bolting diverts energy from leaves to seeds and leaf becomes bitter.
Put 50% white shadecloth over it if in a hotter climate
water from underneath. Top watering can damage the leafs more, encourage pests and disease.
Build the bed up so drainage is good. You don't want roots sitting in anaerobic conditions due to heavy rain sitting in heavy soil.
Ensure your soil is light with good drainage. compost++, regular compost tea.
Most plants don't need NPK fertilizer. they need better soil biology and drainage.
Mulch to keep moisture more stable.
If bitter, I find it is not as bitter in a salad with dressing (olive oil, apple cider vinegar, tamari - whatever your homemade dressing is)
Great 👍 👌
What about planting strawberry and broccoli in Australia?
hello.... i have limited sun in my back yard with large trees near by.... what is the minimum amount of sun for vegetables please
4 hours direct sunlight works for me in SE Qld.
depends on your zone.
Is Silver Beet another name for Chard?
So sad this year entire crops got eaten by rats possums. Was going to give up
But will try again cause i love to plant things eat when minutes not weeks old
Great vid. 👏 what location in Australia is the garden you are in ?
Literally the first thing she says in the video. Adelaide hills.
@@Nigel_Tufnel_11 really, feel silly now. Must have missed it. Cheers.
what a shame that no body takes the time from this channel to respond to questions... shame
Sophie looks like a Toorak gardener these days. More Millie. 😉
Who cares what they look like? Apparently you have no interest in anything except commenting on the appearance of the female presenters. Perhaps concentrate on the gardening information instead.
@@lilithowl I caught the show on telly on Friday and couldn't help notice that everyone was wearing their Sunday best. Wasn't targeting females. Costa was sporting a very groovy shirt too.
Sophie looks great, no mistake btw.

Well she is morbidly obese. which is not a great advert for home gardening.
Seriously, Australians need to wake up about health and diet.
There's zero excuses for being obese. It indicates a profound ignorance about nutrition, end of story.
GA's lost the plot. Not a calloused hand, or dirt under the fingernails to be seen except for Millie. Respect Millie. ❤
