Want to know what vegetables, flowers and bulbs to plant during Autumn? Here's our monthly garden advice for March, April and May.

February is one of the hottest months of the year so now is a good time to start some of your Autumn sowings both outdoors and indoors. Sowing times depends on what district you live in but you can start seeds indoors roughly 6 weeks prior to planting.

Autumn is a great time of the year to plant those vegetables and herbs that love cooler conditions. These will be ready to harvest throughout Winter and Spring, providing fresh produce and ingredients for your home.

While you're planning for Autumn don't forget to include some of these flowering varieties in your garden patch.
