      have a look at the "What I did today" thread to see what everyone's sowing & growing

        Spring onions (winter sort), beetroot - for leaves over the winter if spaced closely together, or beet if further apart; spinach; carrots - I sowed carrots in a pot kept in my lean to greenhouse last September and had sweet baby carrots in March (use a cloche on the land); lettuce - again the same way as the carrots and I had salad leaves throughout the winter; pea shoots - it was lovely having fresh pea shoots during the darker months! I'm sure there are plenty more but my mind's gone blank.
