Default Too late to grow fruit or veg?

Hi,

This weekend I moved from a small flat to a large house with a garden.
I would love to grow some fruit or veg this year with my new-found
space, be it in the garden itself or in pots. Is it too late in the
season for me to grow anything that I will be able to harvest this
year?

Last night I went to the local diy/garden store and bought some compost
and some new pots in anticipation!



Lettuce, radishes, coriander for curries.
Get some onion sets and you'll get some from them (even if they might be a
bit small, they'll still be nice).
You could probably have success with a courgette plant (not seeds), if you
have a warm, sunny corner.


One of the garden centres near me still has some veg plants left, you could
put some of them in. And it's possibly not too late to get runner or french
beans in. And beetroot.
