The cooler, wetter days in June and July mark the Noongar season of Makuru β a lovely time of year for Perth veggie gardeners π©βπΎπ±
Soil temperatures are still warm enough to suit a large range of seeds, and with rain falling more regularly, it's a great time to sow new crops.
Plant your favourite brassicas such as kale, mustard, rocket and spinach. Now is also a great time for stars like brown onions, rhubarb, peas and shallots . π₯¬π₯¦
Donβt forget to get your seed potatoes as well! π₯
And stock up on herb seeds that thrive in the cooler weather like chives, coriander, dill, cress and mint. Edible flowers like alyssum, calendula and cornflower will also do well this time of year. πΏ
Go wild with native everlasting daisy seeds in any empty spots in your garden or verge πΈ
It's the perfect time to plant trees and natives (hello verge project?!) π³
