Hi all

As a semi novice I have been delighted with my outdoor successes this year.

Although I have runner beans, peas, broad beans, onions, cabbages, cauli and sprouts in my veggie patch - I forgot to put more in so I would have continuous crops image!!

As we have started to eat said vegs - I will soon have bare beds - so any recommendation on what (if anything) I could plant (seeds/plants) so they are ready Autumn/winter please?

My greenhouse is chocker with toms/chillis etc so I don't have space in there.

Thanks in advance!

    Start some kale plants in plugs or small pots, one seed per module or pot. When the peas come out, plant the kale plants a foot apart, net against pigeons. You may get some in winter, but most will be ready next spring.

    Thank you Suz, I'd forgotten about some chard seedlings I sowed at the beginning of the month and your post reminded to go and water them :)  I'm planning to put them in my very small veg patch when the beans and courgettes have finished and harvest them during the winter.  I haven't tried this before but maybe you could sow some chard now and experiment along with me.

    I'm sure Monty on last weeks GW said that there's still time to sow kohlrabi for an autumn/winter crop - least I hope thats what he said because we're sowing some this week! image.

    hi suz3     try some winter cabbage jan/king  and the like for growing almost all way through if you hurry you can still put carrots in now and when g/house space comes put in g/h for the winter you can put winter lettuce also in g/h   you can also get winter onions.  garlic  . that should keep you going
