What can you plant in mid summer? All I've got for winter are leeks, is there anything else I can put in now for winter?

You'll find winter brassica plants online or in the local garden centre

Not winter, but for the freezer........... I've just sowed more dwarf French beans

It's  little late for Swede,  no harm in trying though,  still time for Turnips though.  Carrots and Beetroot can still be sown.
