I’d like a garden that’s useful for cooking - herbs, basic veg/tomatoes. But I don’t really know where to start.
I had a small patch of herbs, but it was overrun by weeds. I’d like to start this spring with a fresh raised garden bed in my (small) front garden. It receives a decent amount of sun.
Are there any good resources out there for establishing a garden like this in Melbourne? Google obviously is fairly northern-hemisphere oriented, so seasons/availability don’t really align.
Things I’m curious about are –
- what to plant
- when to plant
- when to harvest
- how to harvest
- how to deal with pests
- how to deal with weeds
- seeds vs. seedlings
- how often to water
- how much to water
- to feed or not to feed

I would highly recommend looking up the Diggers club and becoming a member. They provide so much information about gardening year-round in Victoria specifically: https://www.diggers.com.au/
I will check them out. Thank you!

Do you mean actually talk to people? In real life? 😱
Thanks for the article!

I was referring more to my introverted nature and aversion to talking to strangers. 😅
I like the book, ‘Garden like a Nonno’. It’s by a Melbourne author and is a simple collation of her Nonno’s gardening tips. Covers all the things you’ve mentioned and is actually a nice coffee table book too.
Awesome, thank you!
