When did you do this? If it was October, sow/plant stuff according to
the book/packet. If it was last week, it may not be ready for stuff you
could sow now like radish or early turnips. I would risk some broad
beans.

Not last week but the week before ;-) I wasn't planning broad beans
but rather french and runner which I presume will have the same
effect?
