Winter Veggies

Hi,

My thoughts are turning to what can I sow now that will be ready in a few months time? Chard, lettuces and leeks, I suppose, but does anyone else have any suggestions? We're on the border of 16 and 24, and we do have a greenhouse.

I'm really regretting not planting any potatoes earlier this year. Is it now too late, and if not, where might I find some seed potatoes now? (there were none in Gamm Vert yesterday)

Thanks all!

Too late to sow leeks in my part of 24, I've still got some to prick out but it's late even for that. There's just time for turnips and winter radishes; you might get away with chicories/raddicchio; cutting lettuce, corn salad, white onions and spring cabbages can all be sown now, and you can resow the lettuce & corn salad through the autumn.
Peas and broad beans don't always overwinter here but can be sown in late autumn.
You could try sowing fast-maturing carrots and beetroot, it's late but sometimes they grow fast enough to be lovely & young & fresh at the end of the autumn.
