Just prepared a raised vegetable garden. Our last one I got overly enthusiastic and planted too much which of course did not work too well. Any gardening suggestions welcome.p

Things you actually will eat.

Yes I figured that out. But how much to plant where and are seeds or plants better?
Work out how much you eat a week. Stagger the planting if you can. Decide if you only want the stuff fresh, or if you will freeze any. I use seeds for everything except capsicums, that because they take so long from seed. where? In the garden you have prepared or have you not started it yet? Don't believe the packet info, they ALL say full sun and many veges don't actually like being baked in summer sun. Look it up as the above link shows. you know what you want, we don't, there are plenty of guides around

Carrots, lettuce, NZ spinach. spring onions would all work well this month. Oct you should start thinking about planting your summer veges. Tomatoes, lettuce, basil, zucchini, beans, corn etc. So really unless you have heaps of room you probably want to stick to something quick growing that you will be harvesting by then.

Mitre mega had asparagus crowns for half price. They are 1 year old so should produce this summer and for the next 25 yrs.
