Winter might seem like a sleepy time in the garden, but don’t be fooled—there’s a whole world of leafy goodness and veggie power just waiting to be planted! At QPS, we’re all about embracing the seasons, and this time of year is prime time for some of our favorite seedlings. Whether you're growing in a Foodcube, veggie bed, or a few pots on the patio, there’s something fresh and fabulous for everyone right now.
Here’s what’s thriving this winter:
🥬 Leafy Legends
-
Silverbeet – A cold-hardy champion with bold leaves and a mild, spinach-like flavor. Great for sautés and frittatas!
-
Kale (Curly or Tuscan) – Nutrient-rich and frost-loving, kale actually tastes sweeter after a cold snap.
-
Lettuce Mixes – Fast-growing and perfect for continual harvest. Grab a few leaves for your lunchbox and let the rest keep growing.
🧅 Bulb & Root Goodness
-
Spring Onions – Easy to grow and quick to mature. Great for tossing into everything from stir-fries to salads.
-
Beetroot – A double win: sweet, earthy roots and tender, edible leaves.
-
Radishes – These speedy little pops of color are perfect for kids or impatient gardeners (you’ll see results in weeks!).
🌿 Herb Heroes
-
Parsley (Flat or Curly) – A kitchen staple that keeps on giving.
-
Thyme & Oregano – These hardy herbs love a bit of chill and will power through winter with flavor to spare.
-
Coriander – Unlike summer, winter is the perfect time for this herb—it won’t bolt in the cold!
🪴 Seedling Pro Tips from the QPS Crew:
-
Mulch it up! Keep roots warm and weeds down with a layer of straw or sugarcane mulch.
-
Water wisely – Even in winter, seedlings need a drink, especially on sunny or windy days.
-
Start small – Got limited space? Pick 3-4 types you love to eat and grow those first!
Whether you’re planting out a full veggie patch or just topping up a few pots, now’s a great time to get your hands dirty. Our seedlings are grown tough and ready for transplanting—no greenhouse needed.
