That's the beauty of a potted food garden - you can move it around to suit what happens each year.

We didn't need to water them too often due to all the rain, but did get some all-purpose powerfeed, the seaweed variety, from Johnson Brothers Mitre 10 in Avalon to give the plants a boost once the seedlings had settled. Well diluted for young plants, given once week, and with heaps left for what we'll use it for this Winter and next Spring, this product can turn pennies into pounds in your garden.
We also put in some Marjoram, Mint and Rosemary and Thyme to keep the Parsley company a few weeks after the seeds sprouted and to set us up for the use of these over Winter in soups, sauces and to add flavour to roast veggies. Dried herbs are great but no match for that potent sprig just picked from your own little potted garden.
In May in Sydney, you can still plant cool-season crops like lettuce, spinach, radishes, carrots, and beets, as well as some warm-season crops that can tolerate cooler temperatures, such as peas - although you may need a bigger pot for some of these and casters for the base so you can move it around more easily.
May is also a good time to start seeds indoors for warmer-season vegetables like tomatoes and eggplants.
Cool-Season Crops to Plant Now:
Leafy Greens: Lettuce, spinach, rocket, silverbeet, and Asian greens.
Root Vegetables: Carrots, beets, radishes, and turnips.
Brassicas: Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and kale.
Peas: Sugar snap, snow peas, and shelling peas.
As today is Mother's Day, a look into what potted colour you can plant now to brighten up mid-Winter grey days is worth considering as you empty harvested pots and look for something to fill them with for the next few months.
Giving mum something that will flower year after year will always be much better than a bunch of flowers that will last for a week. Every year that bright spot in the garden that will draw her eyes will have been provided by you. Those planted in nice pots can be taken indoors and brighten up any room they're placed in. Put a lazy Susan in the middle of the kitchen table and a winter flowering pot of colour in the middle of that.
Early May is also a good time to plan how to brighten up your own garden with winter flowerings - we live in a country where one kind or another of native flowers bloom all year round - so invest in some bird attracting Banksias, Bottlebrushes and Grevilleas or some of the closer to ground shrubs for the little birds - the pardalotes and silvereyes - Correas, Boronias and Hakeas are good for that, although they love getting up into the eucalypts to feed as well. The hakeas will also protect the little birds from the bully miner birds too - maybe even drive them out of your garden so the little ones can return.
For something in vines, the Hardenbergia is Winter's favourite flowering native climber with royal-purple sprays of pea-shaped flowers. The Hibbertias are
Several native NSW pea-flowered plants offer vibrant blooms during the Winter months. These include Hardenbergia, with its distinctive purple or white flowers, and Hovea acutifolia (Purple Pea Bush) showcasing masses of purple blooms. Additionally, Dillwynia species, commonly known as "Eggs and Bacon" or "Parrot-peas," feature bright yellow and reddish flowers during late Winter and early Spring.
Epacris longiflora - Bush Fuschia, also blooms throughout Autumn, Winter and Spring, and all these will attract the nectar-loving birds.
Epacris longiflora - Bush Fuschia
For a late winter perk-up, the coastal wattle varieties will give you a bright blaze of yellow just when it feels like it's been too cold for too long and signal we're heading towards spring.
Crowd the bulbs together in a shallow pot, then put it somewhere in the shade. Once the shoots appear, move the pot into more sun. Don't forget that bright green bulb shoots are irresistible to snails, so protect the new growth by keeping an eye on them and pulling those cheeky buggers off.
Feed the bulbs as they grow by regularly watering with Yates Thrive Roses & Flowers Liquid Plant Food. While this has been specially blended to promote blooming, it will also help keep the crowded bulbs healthy.
Remember the energy in the crowded bulbs will probably be completely spent after flowering, so it's best to compost them rather than expecting them to survive for another year. If you're really keen to see them sing again, you can try transplanting the bulb plants carefully into a garden bed, and continue feeding them until the leaves die down completely.
Cyclamens are great for frost-free areas or protected outdoor spots. They can provide colour for months. In cold climates, enjoy cyclamens indoors in a well-lit, cool position, but keep them out of heated rooms.
Pansies are the perennial favourites for Winter colour – they're cold tolerant, they flower for months and they come in an amazing range of colours. Yates has three pansy varieties in its seed range: the extra-long-flowering Joker Mix. Super-large Giant and the exotic Black Knight, which is almost the closest thing you can get to a pure black flower.
You can pick these up from your local JBH store, or eve stroll through their Green Life Garden Centre at the Mona Vale outlet - there's always what's best for each season in stock there and they have trained friendly staff to help you with any information you need on what will work best for your Winter garden - whether that's the potted veranda variety or something that will grow up to meet your other trees and keep regenerating your own suburban habitat for all the furred, feathered and scaled that live alongside you.
Below run some of what we found this week available at the Johnson Brothers Mitre 10 Avalon Beach store - just in case you don't want to be 'driven around the bends' to find what they have at Mona Vale, although you can order it from Mona Vale or Narrabeen and have it delivered - and some of their Mighty Buys on sale until May 18, 2025 - to help you with your late Autumn prep. for Winter brightness in your garden.
Or make up your own planter box filled with all the herbs you will use over the next season, and the one after that.
