Hi Belinda, I like most of Jackie French's books. They're easy to read and full of info. Something like Backyard Self-sufficiency or Organic Gardening. However, I'd start with my local library. Find a book that looks like it might do and borrow it. Only borrow one so that you can get familiar with it. Also, if it's your first veggie garden, go with easy things to grow. If you have a local gardening club, particularly something along the lines of BOGI (Brisbane Organic Growers Inc.), join up and pick their brains. There's nothing like homegrown. Good luck.
