What can I sow now?

I have one if those Wilko plastic greenhouses sitting empty as now everything is planted out in raised beds. Does anyone have any recommendations for veg or plants/flowers I could sow now in the greenhouse for later in the year? I'm a novice gardener and currently have raised beds containing strawberries, raspberries, sweetcorn, carrots, lettuce and peas plus summer flowering borders but nothing that comes to life the rest of the year.

You could pop some of the little strawberry runners in pots and grow them on for next year. Lettuce is quite quick growing, as is rocket so you should be able to get some baby salad leaves.

Hi, the strawberry plants will send out runners with baby strawberry plants on them. They will root around your current parent plant. When they are a couple of inches you can cut the runner stem off and pot them up into pots. They can overwinter in your greenhouse.

Thank you, I can see some runners so will give that a try.
