🧄🧅🥔 One of the biggest reasons people give up on growing food is they plant the right thing… at the wrong time.

For cool season staples like potatoes, garlic and onions, timing is everything (and it changes depending on where you live).

A simple rule of thumb:
✅ Garlic goes in earlier and sits there quietly doing its thing
✅ Onions need consistency (water + w**d control)
✅ Potatoes hate soggy feet, but they love a good hill-up as they grow

I’ve got the full breakdown in the latest podcast + blog, including what I do here in the Southern Tablelands and what to tweak if you’re in a different climate.

If you only grow 3 things this season, make it these.

Potatoes, garlic and onions are the backbone of a heap of meals, and they store really well when you cure them properly.

A few quick beginner notes:
Potatoes: don't plant supermarket spuds (disease risk). Use seed potatoes and keep hilling soil up the stems.
Garlic: plant cloves pointy end up, dont overwater, and be patient.
Onions: they hate competition. W**d control matters more than people think.

I've broken it all down in the latest podcast + blog (timing, spacing, and the common mistakes).

🥔🧄🧅 Potatoes, garlic and onions are the “quiet achievers” of the veg patch.

If you get these 3 right, you’re a long way toward ditching the store because they’re the base of so many meals.

Quick planting cheat sheet (cool season vibes):
✅ Potatoes: plant seed potatoes in loose soil, keep hilling up as they grow.
✅ Garlic: separate cloves, plant pointy end up, don’t overwater.
✅ Onions: start from seed/seedlings, keep w**ds down, consistent moisture.

I’ve got a fresh podcast + blog up that walks through timing, spacing, and the common stuff that trips beginners up.

Leafy greens (beginner-friendly):
 Spinach
 Silverbeet
 Lettuce (cool-season varieties)
 Rocket

Set-and-forget roots (perfect if you

 Beetroot

Brassicas (worth the effort):
 Broccoli
 Cauliflower

 Brussels sprouts

Cold-hardy herbs:

Rule of thumb: only plant what your family will actually eat. No point freezing your butt off harvesting kale if everyone hates kale

 Winter gardening tip: Frost covers only work if you do THIS

If youre using frost cloth / old sheets / row cover, heres the trick most beginners miss:

 Dont let the cover sit on the leaves.

When fabric touches the plant, the frost can still transfer straight onto the leaf and youll end up with that sad, blackened mush anyway.

Instead:
 Pop in hoops/stakes so the cover tents over the plant
 Peg it down so cold air cant sneak in
 Pull it off in the morning once things warm up

Winter garden soil prep (the unsexy bit that makes everything easier)

Before you plant a single seedling, do this:
 Top up compost (or well-rotted manure)
 Loosen the soil so it drains (cold + soggy = root rot city)
 Feed the soil now so your plants dont have to fight for it later

If your winter veg are struggling, its usually not the seeds. Its the soil.
