It’s easy to grow splendid flowers and vegetables from seed, just follow these tips and you will achieve excellent results with Mr. Fothergill’s seeds.
1. Dig over your soil to the depth of your spade’s blade. It’s excellent for blowing away the cobwebs.
2. Improve your soil by adding compost or well-rotted manure.
3. Apply fertiliser when the soil is moist and water afterwards.
4. Ideal sowing depth is around twice the diameter of the seed you are planting, but check the packet for instructions.
5. Keep soil damp until the seeds have germinated.
6. Seeds will not germinate unless soil temperature is adequate. Check the packet for best planting times.
7. Thin out at the two leaf stage to ensure young plants will not be overcrowded, leaving the strongest seedlings to mature.
8. If germinating seeds in a seed tray, use a good seed raising mix. Place trays in a warm place and use cling wrap to create a mini greenhouse - on top of the hot water tank is ideal, or on a sunny windowsill.

North QLD and NTThe climate and growing conditions in the far North of Australia are very unique and heavily influenced by wet and dry seasons. Traditional Spring sown varieties can generally be grownthroughout the year, however, pests and diseases can become very problematic in the hot and humid conditions of the wet season. Your classic Autumn sown varieties can be planted from late March until May when conditions are at their coolest.
SOWING TIPS SEASONAL SEED PLANTING GUIDEGrowing your own vegetables, herbs and flowers is a rewarding experience that you can enjoy year round, whatever region of Australia you live in. However, there are distinct seasonal preferences between varieties so to ensure growing success, make sure you are planting correct varieties for that season.Plants can be grouped in three main planting seasons: Spring, Autumn and All Year Round. Key varieties for each season are listed below. The season length varies greatly throughout the regions in Australia, as highlighted in the growing guide. This is a general guide, but for detailed information on a specific variety, see the back of the seed packet.
