Australia has diverse climatic zones from the tropical far north to the cold of Tasmania so there may be some tweaking for where you live. In general, the cooler months with less harsh sun is the time for:

• beans, broad beans and peas
• bulbs like onion, shallots, garlic
• Brassicas like broccoli, broccolini, cauliflower
• tomatoes, eggplant
• root vegetables like radish, beetroot, turnip and potato
• spinach, salad greens, silverbeet
• herbs, chives, coriander, parsley.

MOST IMPORTANT TIP: Just do it! Don't get caught up in not knowing what to do. Put some seeds in pots in a sunny spot and give it a go. Learn as you grow. Keep the water up and fertilise fortnightly with liquid seaweed.
