The Canberra & the ACT profile
Hard frosts, cold winters and hot dry summers. Start warm-season crops late and protect seedlings well into spring. GrowCal uses this curated regional profile rather than claiming that every garden in Canberra has the same conditions.
Local frost pockets, shade, soil, aspect, container growing and variety can all change the sensible timing. Use these windows as a starting point and observe your own garden.
