Sowing Zones

We've created five distinct seed sowing regions based on seasonal temperatures and rainfall, so you can easily identify the right time to sow vegetable and flower seeds based on where you live.

In every region, other than the cool region, there are enough growing weeks available for all varieties. This means as long as you sow the seeds in the months recommended, there will be enough growing time available to reach harvest stage. However if you live in the Cool climate area, this isn't always the case and gardeners need to pay particular attention to the growing weeks available to ensure success. Learn more about growing weeks.

At Diggers, we've develop two different climate maps - one for growing seeds (as outlined on this page), and another to determine which plants will successfully grow and thrive in your area. Learn more about selecting the right plants for your climate area.
