I would think it best now to wait till the new year to plant but you can always mulch your beds with compost or well rotted manure if you have any. In the new year you can maybe sow broad beans early and start chitting potatoes indoors and plan your crop rotations and beds for the coming season..
This almanack of what and when is by a chap who posts on A4A - http://www.thegardenersalmanac.co.uk/Indexes/index.htm Click on month and then vegetables for advice on what to be doing. He's in Yorkshire, near Huddersfield so adjust your own timings according to whether you are warmer or colder than his allotment..
