Southern Hemisphere
Tropical/Sub-tropical Climate

This table is a sowing guide for approximately which months of the year vegetables can be sown in a 'tropical/sub-tropical' climate in the southern hemisphere.

The climate descriptor 'tropical' generally means temperatures are high throughout the year, but there is a 'rainy' season and a 'dry' season.

Sub-tropical has a more varied pattern of weather and is generally cooler in the winter months. Snow and frost are unheard of.
