Default unheated polytunnel planting?

This was my first year at growing my own veg in a cheap polytunell. I'd made

Toms,peppers and aubergines grown ring culture style in the one bed. But
what can I grow directly in the soil now and harvest them before next years
toms etc...?


You could try broad beans and peas - would normally be too laet to plant
now, I think, but the mild autumn could still produce some growth before
spring.

I'm going to grow lettuce + oriental leaf in the unheated greenhouse if I
get a chance. Plus I have potatoes that were growing in pots outside
brought into there now.

Could possibly get some spring cabbage in if you could buy plants from
somewhere? May be a bit late to put them in now.

Whe nare you planning on putting your tomatoes in? Are you putting the min
indoor pots first? My tomatoes don't go into the greenhouse until about
May.
