You can plant lots of stuff direct now, straight in the plot that is.
Carrots and parsnips spring to mind. :)

This just will not do-an empty greenhouse???-why is it not bursting at the seams with tomatoes,cucumbers,peppers,aubergines etc??

Just teasing,to sow now-pretty much anything and think about herbs,dill,fennel,coriander etc.

I'm lucky as i have two greenhouses, one is full of toms, peppers and cucumber etc, the other one that had all my seedling etc in waiting to go out now seems empty, should i be sowing anything for winter crops / when should i start sowing to get an early start for next year.
We only started on the lottie in April so have lots to learn???
