Ok so i have been throwing the idea around for way to long to start a garden. I have finally decided now is the time. So I have allready started composting organic waste and i know that that will help for nutrient rich soil, but i am unsure of what to plant. Can i plant anything this time of year? I mean i know pumpkins grow this time year but did i miss the chance to start. Is it too late? Or can i plant for the spring now? Or will the winter frost ruin things? I donno I live in NJ and we have minimal snow fall but it does get quite cold over the winter. Any advice would help. Also any tips on how to set up the garden or anything would be great. To start i have marked off a 3foot by 6foot rectange. I can go bigger but i did not want to get ahead of myself. THanks for reading

I want to start a small vegetable or herb garden and today I have finally completed preparing the area I have chosen (well I have pulled out all of the weeds and grass I am sure there is more preparing to do, but what?)

What are some sturdy vegetables or herbs I can start with as I really dont know how good I am at this. How else am I sposed to prepare my earth? What is next?
Any information or tips would be much appreciated. If it makes any difference (which I am sure it does) I live in West Australia, near the coast and I am pretty sure we are in Summer right now but I cant be certain.
Also I would like to try and make it organic, how can I do that? My Dad says it is pretty much impossible to tell if your garden is truely organic, should I bother? What difference does it make?
