Default what veg to plant at this late stage ?

More radishes; lettuce, broad beans, spinach, cabbage, broccoli,
cauliflower, peas, beetroot, runner beans, French beans, will all be
fine planted now.You could even plant some potatoes.

It's usual to plant at staggered intervals so that cropping spans a
longer period.


I think I might go for spinach, however many of my other veg appear to
have little holes in the leaves and I fear that any spinach would go
the same way. The others are mainly root veg, so I dont see the leaf
holes as an issue; but spinach would be another matter.

Any ideas what would be causing this ?? We eat a good amount of
spinach, so growing it would be a great idea.

I know I should have staggered the planting - this is my first year
growing veg so I'm learning all the time ! I've also planted sprouting
broc, carrots, beetroot, parsnips, potatoes and have a couple of
rhubarb crowns growing madly. Most are root veg so will store when
ready to harvest.
