What vegies can I plant now?

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.

we've just put in more lettuce, capsicum and more corn. with all the cold we've had recently, everything has been delayed a little - and last year we were planting successfully up til late December. we're going to put peas and beans in soon i think...

dach- my lettuce is going to see, I think that's what it is, haven't grown it before, just noticed when we came back from holidays. What do I do? Is it going to die now??

I agree on the lettuce, it's great always having it fresh for salads!!!!!!

Once it goes to seed it starts to get bitter and also instead of having a compact head it will get a bit more of stalk.

Damn, so you can't do anything about it??
It's getting really tall and not so bushy

Hi I'm in the same predicament, not moving into my house until this week. I'm going to get some herbs & lettuce in quick smart and see if I can find some more established cherry tom bushes at the nursery - I'll see what else they have there in established seedlings - look for things that ripen quickly (ie small tomatoes, miniature eggplants, bush pumpkins) and late varieties.
