Hi everyone,
I live in a apartment and have got a small garden area (= multiple pots) on my west facing baloncy. While I've got herbs out there at present, I'd really like to do something more adventurous and fire up some vegetables in autumn and winter.
Are there any vegetables that the community can recommend would be good in limited space in colder months?
(FYI - I am based on Sydney so it's not toooo cold)
Thanks!
Andrew

It's too cold to sow seeds outside now but if you want to sow into seed trays that can be kept indoors or under cover for warmth, you can have seedlings of the following ready to plant into the vegie patch when the weather warms in spring:
In warmer climates (northern NSW, Qld, northern WA and the NT), seeds of the following may be sown direct into the vegie patch ort into seed trays for later transplanting:
