You can plant broad beans, onions (hardy ones), peas, garlic (from November).

Try the organic gardening catalogue they have a good selection. I had some seeds from them this year and will be going back from more!

Dobies are selling mini plants (got them started for you to make it easier) of overwinter Broccoli, Cabbage and Cauliflower.

I think you can grow over winter beetroot as well - but you need to get the seeds in at August time I think.

 ;D

Happy growing (and eating!)

Spring Onion White Lisbon (Winter Hardy)
Turnip   Noir d'Hiver

Winter spinach and winter onions are the only things on my list.

Also rosette pak choi.

I've sowed some spring cabbages into modules this week, they should be big enough for planting out around September time and ready for picking next spring. Also sowed pak choi and some more spinach and chard, they may need protecting with fleece later on. Don't forget to think about flowers if you want cut flowers, I'll be planting lots of daffodil and tulip bulbs around October time which should give some early flowers for the house. And think about fruit, autumn is a good time to plant strawberries, fruit trees like apples and pears if you plan to have them, and my rhubarb went in around October time, can't remember when the raspberries, blueberries and gooseberries went in, I think that may have been in the early spring. Good luck, sounds like you've been busy  :)

I like to plant winter onion sets in september. Also my spring cabages. And then consentrate on improving my soil and increasing my soft fruit plants.
