Snow drops for the spring and crocuses. Not much more help sorry apart from sprouts for Christmas of course Smile

Hardy greens like kale (sow now for autumn & spring harvests) or chard (wait until mid August) & 'winter salads' like mustard greens
Root veg - beetroot, turnips, swede - sow now for late autumn harvest
Garlic, onions, broad beans, hardy peas - plant in October/November
