welcome to the site, like the name,
the only things I think you can grow now, if it stays mild are onions and garlic, if they're under fleece
also you can plant broad beans in a greenhouse, spring onions the same
hopefully, others will have more idea
anyway, have fun with your plot  :)

Hello there. You will get all the help you need on here. You can still sew some aquadulce broad beans. They will overwinter and give you a nice crop in the spring to eat with your tatties and bacon. lol. garlic and onion sets should be ok if you get them in now. I wouldn't cloche any of these.  let us see some pics soon. Ive only had a plot since July this year and although in the past we had one this time around is much better cos now we are retired and have the time.
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"
