i live in the sunshine state of australia reaching summer temps of 41 degress, and the lowest around 27 degree.
my husband gets severe hay hallucination from most flowers, so we're opting for our first garden to be vegetables instead. Yum!
we hold clay soil which can not be dinted by a shovel, so we are raising our garden bed to spade height near wooden edges and new soil and older mannure as the soil...
it is heating up here and summer is simply around the corner.. are there any vegetables i can start planting presently?
will i have to check the PH level or just hope for the best?
Answers: Hi:
You must be excited more or less the wamer months coming. You can begin planting most veggies presently. Squash, peppers, corn, zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes, pole beans, green beans, and even lettuce. Also for for a while variety since you are doing a raise bed, how about putting surrounded by some herbs and a few flowers for color. Herbs are wonderful to cook next to.
Make sure you prepare the raised bed properly and incorporate organic mushroom compost to your soil.
Good luck to you and jolly eating. Take a look at my vegetable garden page of my website. Also I will direct you to my site map so you can return with some more tips and ideas for your raise bed. Hope this helps you!

Do you penny-pinching Celsius? By sunshine state and the rest of the description, I think it's the busiest time of year and their are tons of stuff you can plant in a minute! Early season, slightly colder veggies are probably too late to plant (radishes, peas), but the first spring veggies can be put out. Since you're raise the soil, it's perfect for substantial root crops like imperator carrot and onions (be sure to check your day length to select the variety you want to plant). You can also start summer squashes, runner and bush beans, tomatoes from seedlings, cucumbers and sunflowers. Probably two or three weeks from very soon you can put in pepper, eggplant (from seedlings) and okra from seed. Good luck and glad gardening! (We're fast approaching winter here.)
