Eating Green: Our Guide to Seasonal Food Walking into a supermarket in the middle of a Victorian winter, it’s easy to think that mangos and strawberries are in season. Being able to eat whatever we want whenever we want is convenient, but it isn’t great for the planet, or even for the cost or flavour. Food that isn’t in season has usually travelled huge distances to get to us — a typical selection of the foods we buy in Victoria has travelled an estimated 21,073 km. That’s almost the same distance as travelling the whole coastline of Australia.. no kidding! Below are three good reasons to eat produce which is meant to be ripe in your area when you buy it — food which is in season. As well as a handy calendar to tell you what’s in season when. Seasonal food is better for the climate When your food travels around the world to get to you, it uses lots of energy which means lots of greenhouse gases. It’s not just the distance, it’s also the refrigeration along the way, and the energy that goes into packaging the food for the journey and storing it when it arrives. Produce which is in season tends to also be local food, which means much lower greenhouse gas emissions. Trucks aren't good for flavour Produce that is transported a long distance has to be harvested early so it doesn’t rot during transit. Harvesting early doesn’t allow the taste or nutrients to fully develop which means that while we can buy tomatoes all year round, a winter tomato is pale, flavourless and doesn’t have the full nutritional content. The alternative – eating local, seasonal produce — means that produce is picked as close to the time it will be eaten as possible, which means lots of flavour, colour and nutrients. Seasonal food is better for the hip pocket Buying local seasonal produce also means you don’t foot the bill for the transportation and storage which tends to be included in the cost of out of season foods. If you’ve ever tried to buy tomatoes in winter or mandarins in summer, you’ll know what we mean. Check out this handy list to find out what’s in season now: Summer Apricots, basil, beans, beetroot, berries, capsicum, carrots, cherries, chillies, corn, cucumber, eggplant, figs, grapefruit, grapes, leeks, lettuce, melons, onions, oranges (valencia), parsley, peaches, pears, peas, plums, potatoes, rhubarb, silverbeet, spring onion, squash, strawberries, tomatoes, zucchini Autumn Apples, beans, beetroot, brussel sprouts, cabbage, capsicum, carrot, cauliflower, celery, chillies, corn, cucumber, eggplant, figs, grapefruit, grapes, leeks, lettuce, mandarins (imperial), melons, onions, oranges (valencia), parsley, parsnips, pears, peas, potatoes, rhubarb, silverbeet, spinach, spring onion, squash, strawberries, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, zucchini Winter Apples, beetroot, broad beans, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, celery, grapefruit, jerusalem artichokes, kiwi fruit, leeks, lemons, lettuce, limes, mandarins (imperial), onions, oranges (navel), parsley, parsnips, pears, potatoes, rhubarb, silverbeet, snow peas, spinach, spring onion, turnips Spring Artichoke (globe), asparagus, beans, beetroot, berries, broad beans, broccoli, capsicums, carrot, cauliflower, chillies, cucumbers, grapefruits, leeks, lemons, lettuce, limes, mandarins (imperial), onions, parsley, parsnips, peas, potatoes, rhubarb, silverbeet, snow peas, spinach, spring onion, squash, strawberries, zucchini Find some delicious, inexpensive seasonal food recepies Download our Victorian seasonal food calendar

Kalendar radova Svibanj Ukrasni vrt I dalje je povoljno vrijeme za sadnju crnogoričnog drveća, rododendrona i azaleje. Rododendrone i azaleje treba gnojiti a nakon cvjetanja uklonite ocvale dijelove. Ruže koje su posađene treba razgrnuti i odrezati divlje izboje na mjestu nastajanja. Otklonit uvele dijelove tulipana i narcisa jer stvaranje sjemena uzima snagu. Također isto je potrebno provesti i kod jorgovana i drugih biljaka. Sadite dalije i gladiole. Travnjak je potrebno redovito kositi i gnojiti a ako je suša i zalijevati. Prema potrebni možete i sijati travnjak. Poslije sredine mjeseca sadite na otvoreno jednogodišnje cvijeće osjetljivo na mraz. Povrtnjak U prvoj polovici svibnja sijte krastavce a sredinom mjeseca grmoliki i obični grah. U posljednjoj trećini svibnja saditi rajčicu, papriku, krastavce, tikvice, dinje, patlidžane, kukuruz šećerac, artičoke, kardu i novozelandski špinat. Različite vrste potrebno je držati ispod folije ili u stakleniku. Pregusto posijano povrće kao mrkvu, peršin, crni korijen, luk, rotkvice, prorijedite poslije nicanja. Sadite poriluk, celer za izbjeljivanje i korjenasti celer. Slijedi sadnja salate glavatice i salate kristalke. Voćnjak Pri bogatom stvaranju plodova još jednom izvršite gnojenje. Otvoreno tlo ispod stabala voćaka i grmlja bobičastog voća prekrite slamom ili travom od košnje. Ako je suša zalijevajte. U redove s jagodama stavljajte slamu. Jagode koje su najviše rodile obilježite i od njih napravite nove biljke. Prskajte poslije cvjetanja - protiv gljivičnih oboljenja. Sredstva protiv insekata koristite samo kod većih napada.
