Basil

Sow seeds · Plant out

Sow into punnets once frost has passed and pinch out flower buds to keep leaves coming. This is a november action in the resolved GrowCal schedule.

Broccoli

Feed well, watch for cabbage white caterpillars and cut the main head before it opens. This is a november action in the resolved GrowCal schedule.

Brussels Sprouts

A long, cold-season crop — worth the wait after the first frosts. This is a november action in the resolved GrowCal schedule.

Cauliflower

Sow seeds · Plant out

Plant in clumps and cut leaves at the base; divide established clumps to make more. This is a november action in the resolved GrowCal schedule.

Coriander

Sow seeds · Plant out

Sow direct into cool-season beds and keep it moist; heat and root disturbance make it bolt. This is a november action in the resolved GrowCal schedule.

Dill

Sow seeds · Plant out

Leek

Sow seeds

Plant deep and mound soil up the stems for a long white shank. This is a november action in the resolved GrowCal schedule.

Lemongrass

Sow seeds · Plant out

Full sun and moist, well-drained soil; it is frost tender, so pot it in cold districts. This is a november action in the resolved GrowCal schedule.

Lettuce

Sow seeds

Pick outer leaves and keep water up — heat and dryness turn lettuce bitter. This is a november action in the resolved GrowCal schedule.

Mint

Sow seeds · Plant out

Plant into a pot or a contained bed — mint runs, and it prefers moist soil in light shade. This is a november action in the resolved GrowCal schedule.

Oregano

Sow seeds · Plant out

Keep it on the dry side and harvest often — unpicked plants turn hard and woody. This is a november action in the resolved GrowCal schedule.

Parsley

Sow seeds · Plant out

Direct sow or plant seedlings; cut outer stems at the base so the plant keeps reshooting. This is a november action in the resolved GrowCal schedule.

Potato

Plant out

Plant certified seed potatoes in well-drained soil and mound as they grow. This is a november action in the resolved GrowCal schedule.

Pumpkin

Give it room to run, and hand-pollinate early in the morning for reliable fruit. This is a november action in the resolved GrowCal schedule.

Frost sensitive and hungry for sun — give it six hours a day and room to spread. This is a november action in the resolved GrowCal schedule.

Sage

Sow seeds · Plant out · Prune

A permanent full-sun spot with very sharp drainage; do not enrich the soil. This is a november action in the resolved GrowCal schedule.

Silverbeet

Sow seeds

Pick the outer leaves and one planting will feed you for most of the year. This is a november action in the resolved GrowCal schedule.

Strawberry

Plant out · Feed & fertilise

Plant runners into free-draining soil, mulch with straw and feed while fruiting. This is a november action in the resolved GrowCal schedule.

Sweet Corn

Sow seeds

Thyme

Sow seeds · Plant out

Full sun and gritty, free-draining soil; shear off spent flowerheads to keep new growth coming. This is a november action in the resolved GrowCal schedule.

Why timing varies locally

Hobart is not one uniform growing environment. This page uses the mapped Tasmania profile, while a nearby locality may resolve differently. Frost pockets, shade, soil, aspect and the variety you grow can all change what is sensible in a particular garden. Treat these dates as a prompt to look at your garden, not a rigid instruction.
