What vegies can I plant now?

[S'rose]

TIA...

My DH is finally letting me convert the top garden bed into the beginnings of a vegetable patch.

But I have never had one before, tomatoes and herbs are the extent of my edible growing plants.

What I would love to know, is what vegies can I put in given that its summer now? And I do have a tank to water them
- Oh yeah, and ones that aren't favourites of snails would be nice too. If there is such a thing lol.

The space is about 2 metres long but only about half a metre or so wide. I don't want anything that will spread too far I guess either in this case.

I can't wait to hear and then fooff off shopping.

I think its a bit late for most things. I just heard that if I hurry I can plant my watermelons this weekend. Sorry im not much help.

Maybe check out the nursery and read the labels.

You might find this useful Monthly planting calendar
Also if you go to the Digger's Club and download their annual catalouge it has a map that you can use as a guide.

Thanks heaps Dach. I love to just have an idea of what I can do before I hit the nursery and actually buy them.

Lettuce is easy to grow and you can plant it now but it grows really fast and goes to seed quickly in this hot weather so keep a close eye on it.
