Camden Snap Frozen
If you woke up this morning early enough you would have been witness to the 4th day sub zero in August for Camden and a sizeable frost
(-3.8), collectively through June and July we only had 2 days under the zero mark, i thought we were over the hump and getting warmer, obviously not, a bit of a worry if you were looking at getting those spring crops in, it might be worth just hanging off a bit or worth getting some cover sorted out for those susceptible to frost. If your garden is looking a bit dry the rainfall figs or lack thereof may be the reason, only 19mm of rain for Camden in July and 46mm in June.
Last year saw several gardeners lose Tomatoes, Zucchinis and Beans, looking for a good planting guide try the following link

You can also check out your local "big box" retailer or local garden centre and ask the experts.

If you want to get an early start on those spring seedlings rather than buy established stock check out
Greenharvest for a few ideas, similar items can be found across most retailers, and are well worth it, importantly use succession planting, if you put a whole packet of seeds in you will get everything at once, you want constant produce so by planting a few seeds every couple of weeks you will have produce cropping all the time. The other way around this is share the seedlings with your neighbours.
