2. Healthy Soil – Add compost before planting
3. Consistent Watering – Veggies grow best with even moisture
Growing your own vegetables is one of the most rewarding things you can do in the garden. There’s nothing quite like stepping outside and harvesting fresh, flavourful produce that you’ve grown yourself.
To help you get started, or to keep your veggie patch thriving, we’ve created a collection of easy-to-use Vegetable Planting Charts. Each one is packed with practical tips on planting, spacing, care and harvesting so you can grow with confidence.
Vegetables generally fall into two groups: those that prefer warm conditions and those that grow best in cooler weather. Use the lists below to quickly jump to the vegetable you want to grow.
Warm-season crops thrive in warm soil and sunny conditions.
Cool-season crops prefer milder temperatures and can tolerate light frost.
Simply navigate to your chosen veggie and download the individual chart, or click the grey button below to download the whole set. Print your charts and keep them in a gardening folder. They make a great quick-reference guide when planting or feeding your vegetables.
Round tomatoes grow best in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Stake or support plants to keep fruits off the ground.
Harvest fruits once they are fully coloured and firm, picking regularly to encourage continuous production.
Spinach (Swiss chard) grows best in full sun to light shade and fertile, well-drained soil. Keep plants well watered for tender, vibrant leaves.
Harvest outer leaves regularly while young, or cut the whole plant once it is fully grown for the best flavour.
With the right season, good soil and regular watering, growing your own vegetables can be one of the most rewarding parts of gardening. Download the charts above and keep them handy as a quick reference while planning and planting your vegetable garden.
