What to start now?!

[Plumed90]

It's my first year and i've done really well so far with estabilished potatoes, courgettes, strawberrys, onions and shallots.

I'm digging up my potatoes now but I feel like i'm not going to have much going on after that. What can I start planting from seed or buying small plants to make sure I make the most of the rest of the year rather than having bare ground.

Thanks!

You could start planning your overwintering veg, Autumn Onion Sets, Spring Brassicas, green manures if you want to go down that route. I'm sure there is lots of crops that you could start now.

I'm sowing carrots in flower buckets for harvest in winter/early spring

Florence (bulb) fennel likes to be sown right about now.
You might have time for some dwarf french beans or short peas.
If you plant a couple of early spuds in a bag or large bucket now you could be harvesting fresh new potatoes for your boxing day lunch!
Leeks (if you can get some plantlets) traditionally go in where your spuds come out of.
You've still time for baby beets, radishes, small turnips, etc
Brocolli raab
annual herbs
biennial and perenial flowers.

You can still sow swedes and carrots up until July.

Spinach, chard, spring onions. Start off some kale, there might still be time. In a few weeks you could sow some spring cabbages, but you'll need to net them against pigeons.

We're sowing beetroot, chard, perpetual spinach, lettuce, radish, florence fennel, french beans, winter caulis and red cabbage.

I'm sowing broccoli, cabbage, carrots, fennel, french beans, lettuces, oriental greens (komatsuna, mizuna, namenia, pak choi), peas, runner beans, swede and turnips. I've just ordered seed potatoes for planting next month and later I will be sowing winter spinach, spring cabbage, chinese celery, winter lettuce and corn salad.

You will need to net broccoli, cabbages and oriental greens or they will be eaten by cabbage white caterpillars.
