I’ll just start a thread so people can put their recommendations here.

For fruit growing, Dr Louis Glowinski’s book “The Complete Book of Fruit Growing in Australia” is the absolute bible. It is not a cheap book, but absolutely worth it in my opinion. I’ve had my copy for many years. You can get it from Diggers, but I expect other places as well:

Diggers also have veggie planting guides which cover the different regions over a year, if you don’t want to buy a whole book but only need the dates stuff:

There is heaps of information on the diggers site too, about different fruits and veggies. They have a set of fact sheets. You can join, but a lot of those are available free on the site:

I’ve been a Diggers member for 20-25 years and although I’m not entirely in accord with the founder’s ideas on some matters, they do have a good range of plants available by mail order. I get my heirloom tomato seed from them.

Oh, and I sort of agree on the Yates guide suggested by others. I started with that, but found Glowinski far, far better.

Thanks Buffy. I have had herbs , tomatoes and the like and most recently a pineapple harvest. I want to design a crop rotation system matching season with fruit and verges choices that match out tastes as well. Having the guide will help with organised planning.

I saved this link suggestion from Chrispen as well.

I nearly started a fruit and vegie thread this morning, for our little community to post their growing tips into. But I ran out of time.

I had a copy of this- Dr Louis Glowinski’s book “The Complete Book of Fruit Growing in Australia” – and lent it to a friend. That and a gas bottle blow torch. Oh, how I miss both of them. A very good book.

Well at least Esther was into raised beds.

Can’t really do that here. I don’t have enough water supply to feed stuff too far above ground in my climate extremes.

However one can build up a good sponge on top of your soil.
As for planting, you should be transplanting out the seedlings of Brassica that you started last month.
