Hi Minty!
Overwintering crops, brassicas, broccolli, turnip, swede, sprouts are all still ok to go in, as are a late sowing of peas, mange tout, carrots, salad, lettuce, spring onions, radish etc! You'll be able to sow spring cabbages in the next 2 months, leeks can go in now and for a while yet, as can aubergines and of course overwintering garlic and onion sets in Sept / Oct! As has already been said, try the GC for any plantlets, and a late sowing of courgettes will still give you a crop if planted now!

I always feel its better to get in a late sowing of anything, rather than have the land available but with nothing growing, cos not only is it disheartening, but also allows the weeds to colonise it!
