I know it's very late for sowing seeds (I've been too busy getting the
floral part of my garden into shape) but are there any vegetables I can sow
now that will crop this year, preferably from the end of August onwards?

Thanks.

Yes quite a few. I sowed more carrots today, and put in some more peas.
Runner beans, Possibly broad beans depending on where you live and what the
weather's going to do.

Lettuce, rocket spring onions.

But most of all radishes.

Turnip ( I prefer snowball)

I'm sure other members of the group can think of more.

According to "Kitchen Garden" magazine you can still sow the following this
month:

Beetroot
Carrots
Courgettes & marrows
Endive
French beans
Lettuce, radish, salad onions
Peas
Pumpkins & squashes
Runner beans
Sprouting broccoli
Swedes
Sweetcorn

Hope this helps!

If you are sowing late then sow "Early" cropping veg, these have a shorter
growing time than Main crop,
French beans 10 weeks from sowing to pick, Runner beans 12 weeks,

Raddish!
The packet says harvest in three to six weeks after sowing. I'm about to try it
for the first time, so no experience to report.

They are that quick, but grow best with lots of water - I always find
the ones I grow early in the season are better than later ones.
