here is the link to the sowing and harvest chart.......
http://www.allotment-garden.org/vegetable/general/sowing-harvest-vegetable-chart.php

That shows you can sow calabrese for autumn picking, winter cauliflower, spring cabbage and swede and more carrots :)

Savoy cabbages are excellent though winter. Very hardy.

if you still have spare ground left , sow some green manure ! dig in before it flowers leave it for a couple of weeks then plant , used it for the first time this year great stuff , there are summer and winter types.

I think thats a good idea but the seed is so expensive or it seems so to me :unsure: Is there a cheap way of doing it :unsure:

Too late for parsnips but you'll still get a good crop of carrots, turnip and beetroot if you sow now.
