Perth is having a cold wet winter.

Is it really? Seems pretty mild to me. We only started using the
heater
a few weeks ago, and I have been walking around in a tshirt.

Eggplants like warm weather. If they can
survive to mid August when the frosts have gone they might perk up. Same
goes for your capsicums.

Fair enough, guess I will try again in a month or so. I really know
bugger all about gardening, but the vege patch is coming along in
spite of me.

Tomatoes are of the same family and you won't have
much success with those outside either.

What about potatoes? I was going to plant some spuds, but maybe I
should leave them a bit too?

Old rule with tomatoes, capsicums, eggplants and chilis don't plant until
the soil is warm enough to sit on with a bare bum.

Okay, I just hope nothing bites me...
