Yeah, cherry tomatoes definitely the most successful. I've got some of
them in at the ends of my bean rows, waiting to take over when beans die
off :).
Best vegie in Brisbane is Silverbeet, give it water and you get well

g'day lionel,
we do quiet well only having to get control over the tropical fruit
fly but that dept' s looking better this year.
sounds like maybe position or growing medium might not be quiet right,
they will do better in full sun at least a good 6 hours a day.
check how we do our successful gardens there may be some ideas there
for you?

I know you mean "quite" not quiet which means another thing altogether.
Maybe I'd be better of being "quiet".
