Kale, silver-beet, rocket, lettuce, radish, cauliflower, broccoli and kohlrabi are ready for picking at your local community garden.
Get melons, broccoli, celery, chilli, capsicum,cucumbers, corn, eggplants, zucchini, corn, pumpkins, small spring cabbages and tomatoes sown in trays and keep indoors (remembering to keep them moist) ready for planting out in 10-12 weeks. Plant out now sweet and sugar snap peas, carrots, beans, beetroot, chives, spring onions, silverbeet and turnips.
