What can I plant now then?

[callmeovercautious]

Except oriental greens as DH hates pak Choi!

I did leeks for the first time this year which will be in the ground for ages yet so I am thinking of keeping the bed going all together rather than tucking it up for the winter as usual.

Any suggestions?

You can still do salads, even through the winter (if you are a winter salad eating type) under a cloche. Mine grow outside til about Sept depending on coldness.

I have some beetroot and spring onions doing there little thing atm. I have a green house bed I was going to keep putting lettuce in - can I do iceburg now in an unheated greenhouse do you think?

I was thinking of Cauliflowers etc or is it too late to plant seeds now?

have just sowed rocket and spinach again.

soon you will be able to do stuff like onions, broad beans, cabbages, garlic.

But I am only just harvesting onions! So can I plant seed soon for next year already? Garlic I always mean to do then forget! Thanks Harpomax

think it is onion sets that you plant in September, I'm just a learner! this might help though

But I did sets in the spring.... am going to read your link.

Great Thanks

Japanese onions, basil on window sills, kale, purple sprouting broccoli, wait a bit and plant garlic.

Right so Japenese Onions - that makes sense. Thanks for that.

I promised DH I won't waste so much space on onions next year - the first year I did them they were really good - 2006 I think, they liked the hot weather. Last 2 years have been a bit poor, I need 3 of the to make spag bol

Kale sounds interesting. Can I do it from seed now? I just cleared loads of the patch harvesting the onions and sweetcorn. I have 2 butternut Squash doing their thing and some leeks but otherwise I have lots of space now.

The Broccoli is a no go - too many cabbage whites around here

Kale is worth a go, it is a bit late, but with a wet warm autumn and perhaps cloches to start with i have just planted mine ... as just taken out the summer onions and the last of my potatoes.

I have also just planted flat leaf parsley.
