I take you on a tour of what’s growing in Autumn (aka fall) in my Vegetable garden in Melbourne, in April, and what we’re planting right now! Lots of PURPLE VEGETABLES have gone into the ground!
Wondering what to plant in April for Autumn and winter in your vegetable garden?
The weather is finally starting to cool down a little bit in Australia after a warm start to Autumn, and while it’s not time to pull out my last tomato plants just yet, we’re not too far off!
Some of the things we still have growing in our Autumn vegetable garden from last season include capsicum / peppers, cucamelons, chilli and beans.
The new things we’re planting in the vegetable garden in April include cabbage, broccoli, broccolini, purple broccoli, lettuce, coriander, Brussel sprouts, carrots, beetroot and kale. I’d never heard of purple broccoli before but I was excited to find it none the less!

I’m in Melbourne also and I love that your using mainly pots, as my soil is hard clay I found myself using pots also. What size are those blue square pots ?
Loved this garden tour! Your kids are adorable too! 😍🙌🏻🥕🍅
Lettuce, spinach and bean time, thanks for the tips. Yum. Any tips on growing rocket salad leaves mine are all getting eaten, but the herbs around them are doing well. You may be interested in Amaranth, generally grown as a salad microgreen (it is purple) an ancient grain. Grows up to be a great purple grain filled flower. Cheers Brendan
