What to sow/plant now?

[SimonA]

Allotment is coming along nicely, but I'm starting to get some space where I have harvested lettuce, peas and some other salads. What can I grow at this time of the year?

I already have - Potatoes, sweetcorn, French beans (climbing and dwarf), runner beans, courgettes, squash, pumpkin, PSB, carrots, onions, garlic, beetroot, parsnips, turnips, leeks, celery and some lettuces left.

I can see that in another couple of months I'll have an empty plot. Is there anything I can start growing now that will continue through autumn and into winter?

Was going to ask similarly if anyone had a chart showing sowing and harvesting for most common GYO stuff?

Thanks for that link just ordered the following:
Cabbage Durham Early
Cauliflower All The Year Round
Chinese Cabbage Green Rocket F1
Indian Mustard - Amsoi
Spring Onion - white lisbon
and some winter onion sets

Anything else people would add to the list willing to give anything a go. What about winter lettuce read it in GYO mag is it tasty and are the results any good?

Thankyou for that link. I am quite new to growing and have been looking for a chart.

I'm sowing winter radish and mooli now
Got some space reserved for Rocket and land cress next month - will go all through winter.
Any more space will have green manure, hate to leave any space bare!

Why not put some more lettuce in now, and every 2 weeks. I like little gem

Change varieties in August to the more hardy types - winter ones are good for a great spring harvest. If you have cloches they will be even earlier. I can really recommend lambs lettuce for picking all winter through.

Chinese type green come into their own soon - do you like Pak Choi/chinese cabbage?

Trying kale is a good idea - they can be sown now for late winter/spring - in the interim they are good salad leaves when small. The flowing buds are even tastier than PSB as well.
