I have just moved to a house that has a greenhouse and vegetable plot.
What can be planted at this time of year?

In your veg. plot, broad beans and peas sow seed after a soak in cold water
for 24 hours.Also if it is not too late spring cabbage plants.
Hope this is helpful.

Probably not too late to plant some salad leaves, especially in the
greenhouse.

Marshalls Seeds reckon you should plant onions, shallots and garlic in
October or November.
Broad beans in October.
They also suggest planting green manure in vacant beds to keep weeds down
and dig in during Spring to keep weeds down and improve fertility.

Autumn sowing peas and beans is a risk though. Safer to sow in pots indoors in the spring and plant out later.

You can plant a green manure on your veg plot now. Certainly garlic has to be planted Oct/Nov. You might just get away with winter cabbage if you are quick. There are winter spinaches and mustard greens you can sow into October. And you might just get away with chard or beet-spinach.

Unfortunately you are a bit late for sowing winter radish. I tried sowing them late August last year and it was too late. They didn't swell before it got too cold, and although they looked nice when they eventually fattened up in the spring, they were all tough and stringy. You are probably a bit late for over-wintering onions too, really shoudl have gone in a month ago.
