February Vegetable and Herb Gardening Calendar for Cool & Alpine Climate Australia

Australia - cool climate zones
Australia – Cool & alpine climate zones

February is the last month of summer, and it’s still a fairly dry time of the year in Victoria. Weather is hot and humid in NSW, and rain falls for around half the month. There can be strong winds along with the heat, so water deeply and less often during dry periods to encourage roots to grow down, making plants less vulnerable to heat and drought.
