Caulis in May as MoS said, still have overwintered butternuts or long keeping squashes like turk's turban.

Japanese onions big enough to eat by then.

Overwintered late sown carrots are good in May, and some years I have had early french beans and courgettes (parthenon) too from the cold greenhouse, with the aid of fleece and persistance.

First early potatoes from a bag in the garden.

Late kale and PSB

Early turnips
and of course sprouted seeds indoors like bean sprouts, fenugreek etc

Some of my kale are big and am eating now but I've just planted some very small ones which I've just bought I guess these will go on longer in the spring? I've planted 1/2 early psb and 1/2 late so fingers crossed there. Th red ow onions were my first crop this year.

how late did you sow the carrots please?

Just remined me about pea shoots too.

Sowed carrots two weeks ago and they are all up and looking healthy. I have them under a small fine mesh cloche, which protects them a bit from the worst of the weather as well as any roving carrot flies now or next Spring.

Pea shoots can be grown anytime of year indoors.

Plant peas..... they grow and you cut off the shoot bit you want to eat ... and they grow and you cut off ... and so on easy peasy  :nowink:

and kale carries on for ages if you keep picking, and if you take out the flowering shoots straight away it lasts even longer
