Default what to grow over autumn/winter

Although I have a good size garden, I have not had the time to grow any vegetables during the summer. I would really like to grow some veg over the autumn and winter in containers and troughs ( I even have an old bath which I would like to utilise ).
Can anyone suggest a good starting point, and what types of veg I could start growing from september onwards ? I do have a small greenhouse, so I dont know if there is anythoing I could grow in there over the coming months.
Thank you.

Lettuce , beets, and carrots before frost. Peas, cabbage, spinach, broccoli and cauliflower, will continue growing with hard frosts.
