A few things I planted in winter have kept us going - snowpeas, lazy housewife beans, broccoli, lettuce, Chinese greens, mustard greens...
The second planting of broccoli was a bit late, hopefully not too late, with the onset of spring (more like summer) weather...
Also late in planting silverbeet. I waited too long to get kale seedlings, so had to make do with silverbeet this year.
About a month ago, I got motivated and started putting seeds in punnets and for the first time, planted sweetcorn seeds in the patch (I've always bought seedlings). I make my own seedraising mix - coconut coir and perlite. The seeds have all come up, and I've planted some in their beds...
Below - sweetcorn coming up
Lablab beans
Rosella and white eggplant seedlings
Winged beans
Angled loofah and okra seedlings have also been put into their spots. 2 golden zucchinis are doing well.
So here's hoping for good eating this summer!
