# Spring planting in Australia (September–October)

Spring timing depends on the region, crop, planting method and conditions in your garden. Use the [seasonal planting guide](https://yardyield.app/plants/#postcode-heading), choose your location and select September or October. Confirm the suggested climate zone rather than relying on a postcode alone.

The website calendar covers 27 reviewed crops across five broad zones: tropical, subtropical, warm temperate, cool temperate and arid. It separates sowing seed, planting seedlings and planting garlic cloves. Unsupported crop/zone windows are withheld rather than guessed. The website calendar is separate from the native app catalogue.

Seedling windows are based on the [Gardening Australia planting guide](https://www.gardeningaustraliamag.com.au/planting-guide/). Seed sowing is cross-checked against [The Seed Collection’s sowing chart](https://www.theseedcollection.com.au/assets/files/Sowing_Chart%20-%20The%20Seed%20Collection%20Pty%20Ltd.pdf); where sources differ, the reviewed calendar uses shared sowing months. Follow the source links in the live guide for its recorded evidence and scope.

Frost, altitude, soil warmth, rainfall and variety can shift timing. Start tender plants under suitable protection and plant them out only when local conditions are appropriate. Ask a local nursery when unsure.

## Update note — 22 October 2026

The earlier broad spring crop lists were removed because they did not preserve the reviewed calendar’s planting-method and regional distinctions. Use the live month-specific guide instead. This concept remains a draft; no human review is asserted.
