Regional SA Planting Calendar

Sowing, planting, and harvesting guidance across South Africa's climate zones.

Species	Type	Jan	Feb	Mar	Apr	May	Jun	Jul	Aug	Sep	Oct	Nov	Dec

S = sow, P = plant out, H = harvest. General guide only: vegetable windows are cross-checked against Gardenate, Seeds & Plants SA and regional sowing guides. Frost dates and microclimates vary, so always check your local last-frost date. Eastern Cape / Karoo follows the Highveld pattern; inland Karoo frost can be severe. Indigenous trees: plant in spring in summer-rainfall areas and in autumn–winter in the Western Cape (SA Arbor Week is 1–7 September).

Companion Planting Matrix

Biological plant combinations to boost soil nutrients and repel common insects.

Companion planting is based on traditional and horticultural guidance. Scientific evidence is strong for some pairings (for example French marigolds and nematodes, crop rotation for blight) and weaker or anecdotal for others.
