I put a row of Autumn King in. Did this last year and they grew slowly over winter under some fleece.
Could put some spring greens in too.Comment

Cutworm, onion fly and thrips; mildew, leek rust and neck rot - aren't we cheerful?! My leeks were good last year (touching wood) but neighbour's plot had major problems and lost 90% of them.Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better...Albert Einstein

Don't forget over wintered Garlic.
I planted 'Early Purple' and "White Sicilian' last autumn and have had an excellent crop this year. Even after all the snow.Sometimes you just have to scratch that itch and get dirt under your finger nails.Comment

Plant time - lots and lots of time. You'll run out of it before you know it, and wish you'd made more earlier in the year.A simple dude trying to grow veg. http://haywayne.blogspot.com/
