i live in the sunshine state of australia reaching summer temps of 41 degress, and the lowest around 27 degrees.

my husband gets severe hay fever from most flowers, so we're opting for our first garden to be vegetables instead. Yum!

we have clay soil which can not be dinted by a shovel, so we are raising our garden beds to spade height with wooden edges and new soil and old mannure as the soil...

it is heating up here and summer is just around the corner.. are there any vegetables i can start planting now?

will i have to check the PH levels or just hope for the best?
yes, it is degrees Celsious - and our day light hours are from approx 5.30am - 6.30pm
