    What vegetable seeds will germinate for me in winter? I am in a frost free area (Brisbane). I would like to get stuff growing as I am preparing empty beds.

    now is a great time for direct sowing.
    I do kale and Chinese cabbages Pak Bok Bak and so on...
    carrots, lettuce garlic and much more, beetroot if you like.
    You should take care that you don't sow the typical winter veggies now which take long time to mature, because
    it gets hotter within two month and soup time is over in September.
    I transplanted broccoli, but I am not sure if it's too late. peas maybe. potatoes.

    Kale, choy and beans all make sense as rogue ones are coming up. The garden was telling me the answer and I wasn't listening.
    I wish I could find out where my stealth chook is escaping from and scratching up the garden mysteriously then putting herself back in the pen before I go out there.
