This is my first year growing and im beds are crammed full of little plant's which is very exciting. 

But i've realised that reasonably soon i'll have some space freed up, i have lettuce that are just about ready interplanted bettween my brassica's and my calabrese/summer cabbages will be ready for harvesting reasonably soon.

Now obviously i could use the space for more lettuce, but anyone have any better idea's? perhaps something ready for winter? The Bed is a nice sunny south facing bed it seems such a waste to leave it empty till next year. (10ft by 3ft)

How about squashes/Pumkins. It's not too late to pick up some reasonably priced small plants from the local garden centre. Not what I do, but if needs must...

I guess it depends on what veg you like, how about swede, butternut squash, marrow??  They can all be sown direct at the moment

I already have tons!!! of courgette/marrow plants a few too many tbh however

I do have 2 small butternut squash plants i've started growing from seed which are about 6" tall atm, I do have space planned for the squash, but ... if i held them off in pots i could use the squash space for some winter cabbages. (i had some plants leftover i kept incase those naughtie birds/slugs did anything to them)

I don't think the brassica bed will be compleatly clear for at least a month, some of the cabbages are ready i plan to have 1 for tea tonight so there is space freeing up as we speak but the calebrease still has a way to go so it's not a compleatly clear bed yet.

i guess i could plant the squash's in now (pulling up a couple of cabbages to eat over the next few days) hopefully the bed will free up enough by the time they need the space?

Veg wise i'll eat everything!  and frankly i don't care about the rest of the family they are all fussy little 

Oh i do have some parsnip seeds i bought them and then decided my soil might me too stoney, is it to late for those? i guess i could risk a few see what happens...stupid stoney soil i did my carrot's in pots just in case.

might as well give them a go, nothing to lose I don't think parsnip seeds keep very well so probably wont be any good for next year, try to give the ground a good fork over first though - good luck
