1st Sept tomorrow ... are there any veg I can plant from seed now?

[Millie1]

Or is it too late? I put some lettuce in today and transplanted some leeks which I'd brought on from seed ... although I fear i've left them too long.

However, potato bed is now clear, lifted garlic yesterday, onions still to lift, peas gone ... have lots of space, what can I plant? Am I too late for carrots? Would I get another batch of spring onions up?

Ideas please

lettuce should be OK; leeks it's a bit late, but you can eat them small. Sept/Oct you can plant autumn planting onion sets (varieties radar and japanese onions) to lift in May; broad beans (variety aquadulcia claudia) for an early crop with less blackfly problems than spring planted ones and autum planted peas (varieties like early onward or meteor) which again will crop early and more importantly flower before the pea moths are about. Can also plant garlic again (if the stuff you lifted was good, save some of the best cloves to replant).

Brilliant - thanks for the ideas Snorkie.

The book I've just been reading says it might not be too late for spring cabbages.

Oh good ... was wondering about cabbage & brocolli etc.

I planted some 'all year round' lettuce and spring onions today.

Ooh, yes, more please!
I am just about to clear my greenhouse, is there anything more I can do in there?

I got a load of veg plug plants just delivered and they included ...

Kale (various types)
Tatsoi
Winter Cabbage
Winter Lettuce
Spring Onions
Mizuna
Green Frills
Winter Purslane
Corn Salad
Turnips

Apparently they will grow til Nov time then stop for the winter and start growing again in Feb/March.
