I have about 1.5m by 3m space.
What times of year do i plant them? Any good books on how to grow good veg/fruit?
With the exception of root crops (parsnips, carrots, onions, etc) which you could have started earlier, most crops can be started from now indoors and outdoors from Mid-May. Beans - both runner and French - are good to grow and very showy as well.
Given the limits of your space, I would recommend that you follow the squarefoot gardening system, as it will maximise the use you get out of the space you have. Mel Bartholomew has written two books on the subject which I am sure you can get through Amazon. Otherwise I can photocopy the relevant pages and post these to you.
