in Fruit & veg
As the title says what can I sow in my veg patch now. It's my 1st year and have a patch I can fill and don't want to waste the chance

Don't bother starting them indoors, just put two or three seeds in direct.
It is hot here in Essex though and long summers that last well into the Autumn are normal.
Courgettes should be fine further North, certainly time to see a crop, Pumpkins, perhaps a careful pick of variety is in order, something with medium sized fruit rather than giant ones.
Weirdly, there is time for new potatoes grown as 'late season potatoes' never tried it, but came across it the other day while researching something else, they can go in July to the end of August. (Would be interested myself if anyone does this!)
Radish, spring onion, lettuce if you like salad and definitely winter lettuce, though it will need protecting against frost later down the line.
Turnips can go in now.
Could start off Spinach, Purple sprouting broccoli and cauliflower for next spring along with the pak choi suggested by @Helix
Garlic goes in October to Christmas for next year.
