Hi, I'm Daniel. I made this calendar.

I studied horticulture and I've been gardening for nine years in Victoria's temperate climate, including running a goat and duck farm where the veggie patch had to produce. Most planting advice online is written for the US or UK: wrong seasons, wrong climate, wrong varieties. Soil2Bloom fixes that for Australian gardeners. More about me →

"I started with zero gardening knowledge and within one growing season I was harvesting tomatoes, zucchini, and herbs. The step-by-step guides are genuinely clear and the planting calendar told me exactly when to plant everything."

"The subtropical gardening guides are brilliant — finally content written for Queensland conditions, not English ones. I've tripled my backyard food production in 18 months following the seasonal guides."
