Hi Angie, you haven't said what your plot is like. If its reasonably ok, then take a look in seed catalogues. Some have varieties of veg that can go in now for a early next year harvest. Then you have Cabbages, Onions, Garlic etc, that will grow through the winter. Garlic needs a cold spell to divide the bulb. If your plot needs attention, then your pobably looking at preperation for next year.
Good luck
Baz
