just wondered what i could be sowing under glass this time of year, with a view to planting out in the autumn.

spring cabbage is one i think, is there any other brassicas?

Brassicas don't like greenhouse temperatures at this time of year.

Start them off in seed trays or cells outside.

I do start my spring cabbage seeds in the greenhouse at this time of year but keep the greenhouse very ventilated. It is not ideal but I have to because otherwise the moscovy ducks destroy the lot. With a bit of attention they do generally do well despite the less than ideal start.

No ducks - no problems!

is it really just spring cabbage that can be sown in modules this time of year then?

You may get away with spring caulis & you could try sowing winter onions.
