This shows in June, broad beans for the cooler/mountain regions :annoyed:

Plus beans, spinach, bok choi is called "easy" haha .

Pctek - in your opinion what are the easier to grow vege's for crap climate place like Welly and probably crap soil too? I have bought a lot of compost b/c the dirt here can be quite hard or muddy .

Get some Gypsum, (Calcium Sulphate) it will help flocculate the clay particles in your soil, forming over time a better aerated crumb texture.
Use the compost too as that will help.
Another approach is to use a sheet mulch or no-dig method such as that in Esther Deans gardening book.
