What does everyone grow over winter in their veg plots?
I thought I would like to utilize the space.

Bored very often
And cardboard.
Leeks, cabbage (not many), PSB, Sprouts, perpetual spinach, parsnips (don't mention the war snips
)

Please ignore everything I say, I make it up as I go along, not only do I generally not believe what I write, I never remember it either. -
Cabbages (various types), PSB, white sprouting brocolli, sprouts, kale, leeks, parsnips, swede and quite a bit of green manure. Also will be growing winter salads in the polytunnel as well as overwintered peas, garlic, broad beans and onions.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

Same as Alison, except I don't have a polytunnel.History teaches us that history teaches us nothing. - HegelComment

You can still sow the salad leaves, etc later in the year but get yourself to a nursery for already sown brassica plants or see if anyone has them on something like Freecycle, car boots etc.RtB xComment

When's the latest you can put parsnip seeds straight into the ground? i thought I was too late by the date given on the packet, and put a couple of rows in two weeks ago - and they've come up...Do I just carry on putting some more in? Will they grow?Comment

you'll not get much in the way of parsnips from sowings this late as they need a long growing season.
Mine were sown March/April and are looking monstrous
