Newbie question about buying veg seeds

This is my first year of growing. I was given a few plants (brassicas, leeks, onions, tomatoes).
Can I continue growing in autumn/winter? (If so, what should I sow?).
Where best to buy seeds/plants from? Ive only got 2 smallish veg beds, so a packet of seeds would last me years! So really, I just need a few seeds of a few different types of veg. Is it possible to buy seeds like this?
Thanks

You have time for a crop of Pak Choi, rocket, salads and cabbages and some broccoli will stand well into winter and some into spring. You can sow broad beans in autumn for an early spring crop but the bans don't keep well so beg a few from a friend as the packets are huge.

On any new subject some basic back ground reading is essential...........I just wish I had done it from day 1 !!
Enjoy,
