[JoeDaStudd]

This year my winter veg consists of;
Mibuna
Mizuna - Red Streaked
Red Giant - Mustard
Red Russian kale
Komatsuma

I did Kai Lan, Tatsio and the same variety of kale last year and it was successful in offering enough greens for a meal or two a week.
Fingers crossed the new ones I'm trying this year will cope with the cold as well as the three mentioned did.

I'm going to sow:-
Kyoto Market Bunching onion
Viroflex Giant Winter spinach
Mooli radish
Hamburg parsley
Rampion
Spinach
chinese cabbage
Cima di Rapa
Winter gem lettuce
Mispoona
Pak choi
Oriental mustards.
Precoce de Louviers spring cabbage
Carrots
Beetroot
More kale
Collards
and more things I've yet to come across in my seed hoard.
I'm pushing August sowing into September as its still so mild.

I have a fair bit of mustard greens on the go, two varieties, and a few kohl rabi (went off the boil with planting recently but will need it again as a displacement activity next week when my youngest starts school *sob*). It seems too me that almost everything plantable now is something you'd stir-fry or use as a cabbage, apart from spring onions and beetroot. Is that pretty much the case?

[MrsCordial]

Actually, cauli-like kohl rabi, spring onions and cabbage doesn't sound too bad for winter veg

[wildinthecountry]

I'm sure I've got away with planting leeks in a warm autumn but may be wrong?

I don't even know what some of these veg are! Suppose I'd better go and look them up!

Most of them are anagrams, Dotty

I've just sowed a load of winter salad stuffs and am hoping to sow some peas, broad beans and spinnach in the polytunnel when I get the chance.
