    LOL, I'm not a green thumb at all, just learning as I go!!!!!!!! If it dies, I give something else a go!!


    ETA - That sounded terrible. ZF, be happy to give you a hand

    Toomanyshoes - I'm just looking in a book that I have, and it says for all areas of Australia, plant broad beans, broccoli, cabbage, herbs, lettuce, onions, silver beet (BLERGH!!!), peas, spinach and radishes. If you're in a sub tropical climate, plant Asian vegies, beans, beetroot, capsicums, carrots, cucumber, eggplant, parsnip, sweetcorn, squash, tomatoes and zucchini. Hope that helps!

    Toomanyshoes- great list from PacRakMG for what to plant!

    In terms of the tomatoes, we picked all of ours a couple of weeks ago- they were still green, but ripened inside (don't put them in the fridge). They were still pretty small and were the sweetest of the entire season x

    well I only end up with 4 cherry tomatoes all the bigger ones had things eating them!

    Going to have a look around and see if I can get some second hand pots then we can start planting!
