Now that my tomatoes are nearly finished I am wondering what I can use the tunnel for overwinter apart from drying onions etc. Will anything grow?

There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. -
You could try various winter salad leaves, early peas and broad beans, Japanese onions, garlic and spring cabbage to eat as winter greens. -
Kellys letuce are designed to grow in the low light levels of winter so they'll go with the list that Kens given you. How about planting Bulbs in there then you can get early daffodils, Tulips for the house, and you may still be OK to make a late sowing of carrots - something like Amsterdam forcing or any of the other early quick maturing ones.ntg
Never be afraid to try something new.

In my tunnel this winter you will find, mixed salald leaves, winter lettuces, raddichio, spring greens, about 40 or so leeks that I missed when planting out the others, Swiss Chard, Perpetual Spinach, True Spinach, lots of soft fruit bush cuttings, and lots of strawberry runners that are being potted up to await Spring.Rat
