    In the second half of October I'll be sowing broad beans - Aquadulce Claudia - they will start to grow and overwinter to give you an early crop in May - usually way too early to succumb to aphid attack like later sown beans.  

    This variety has withstood 9 weeks of being under snow in the winter, and still given me a good crop.

    I think that I'm looking for something that will be ready before then

    Spinach, if you pick one of the fast growing types. Or winter lettuce, though you may need to start them under cover if it gets cold at night where you are
