These are only guidelines.  If you are wanting exact and very specific sowing and planting dates then you should always contact your local Government Horticultural Department for the exact sowing and planting dates for your specific region and area.

Growing conditions change dramatically within just a few kilometres.

If you experience frosts then please also check with your local Government Horticultural Department for the expected Frost dates for your specific area and location as again these dates change dramatically within a specific location.
