On the Opposite Side of the World? Northern Hemisphere Garden Calendars for October
Many readers from other countries have informed me that they’ve been using the Australian gardening calendars on this website, so I’ve made it easier for them.
In the northern hemisphere, the seasons are opposite to the southern hemisphere, so October is the second month of autumn, and corresponds to the southern hemisphere autumn month of April.
Here are the monthly gardening calendars that may be possible to use in your country for northern hemisphere winter month of January:
- USDA Zones 10-11 – April Vegetable and Herb Gardening Calendar for Tropical Climate Australia
- USDA Zones 8-11 (for regions with desert-like conditions) – April Vegetable and Herb Gardening Calendar for Arid Climate Australia
- USDA Zones 9-10 – April Vegetable and Herb Gardening Calendar for Subtropical Climate Australia
- USDA Zones 4-8 – April Vegetable and Herb Gardening Calendar for Temperate Climate Australia
- USDA Zones: USDA Zones 1-6 (higher elevations) – April Vegetable and Herb Gardening Calendar for Cool & Alpine Climate Australia

Growing Resources
Some plants thrive when planted alongside other plant species that they benefit from, while they may struggle when planted near others that hinder their growth. To determine which plants should be grown next to each other in the garden, please consult our Companion Planting Table for guidance.
For more information on how to grow all the plants listed in the gardening calendars, see the Growing Guides section. More articles will be added to this section each week.
