I'm planting lots of different vegies. One of the new beds will have tomatoes, capsicum and egglplant. I've got pumpkin, cucumber, zucchini and squash. Various leafy things and brassicas. Beans, root vegetables.

My garlic and onions are not growing very well, including some perrenial leeks which grew well last year but are not doing well now. I'm not sure why, but presume some more work on the soil will help.

my garlic just completely disappeared last year, stupid weather. Onions are going bang, but I have them in planters and just dump fresh compost/humus mix on top when it subsides.

Leeks might be bacterial in the soil, or just had the heart hit its lifespan
