Vegetables and Herbs

Growing your own vegetables and herbs means fresher food, fewer food miles, and the satisfaction of eating something you grew yourself. Even a small patch or a few pots on the balcony can produce enough herbs and salad greens to make a real difference to your cooking.

We stock seasonal vegetable seedlings and herb plants throughout the year, along with seeds, potting mix, and everything else you need to get a kitchen garden started. Our range changes with the seasons to match what grows best in Melbourne at each time of year.

Melbourne’s climate allows you to grow vegetables almost year-round. In the warm months (October to March), grow tomatoes, capsicum, zucchini, beans, and cucumbers. In the cool months (April to September), switch to broccoli, cauliflower, peas, broad beans, lettuce, and Asian greens.

Most vegetables need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight, well-drained soil enriched with compost, and regular watering. Raised garden beds are popular in Melbourne because they warm up faster in spring and provide better drainage than clay soil.

Herbs are the easiest edibles to grow. Basil, parsley, coriander, rosemary, and mint all do well in Melbourne. Most herbs are happy in pots, making them ideal for small spaces. Pick herbs regularly to encourage bushy, productive growth.

Did You Know?

Growing your own food is one of the most rewarding things you can do in the garden. Here are a few tips for Melbourne conditions:

  • Melbourne’s planting calendar is different from Sydney or Brisbane. Our cooler winters mean you need to wait until mid-October before planting warm-season crops like tomatoes outdoors. Planting too early in Melbourne often leads to poor results because the soil hasn’t warmed up enough.
  • Companion planting can help reduce pest problems naturally. Planting basil near tomatoes, marigolds around the veggie patch, and nasturtiums near brassicas can help deter common pests without chemicals. These companion plants either repel pests or attract beneficial insects.
  • A well-maintained herb garden can save you hundreds of dollars a year. Fresh herbs cost $3-$5 per bunch at the supermarket. A single rosemary or parsley plant produces that amount every week for years, and most herbs are practically maintenance-free once established.
