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
