The next 6 months?

So, as a newby this year, I've grown almost everything, with varying degrees of success, great peas and beans, slugged potatoes and blighted tomatoes, OK onions.

I've cursed the weather, and vowed to do it differently next year, re-plan the plot, get manure, rotate etc. etc.

But what can I do now? I have 4 beds now free, since my peas, beans, potatoes and onions came out, and due to poor planning (novices, huh!), well, lack of time, if I'm honest, I have no plants left to put in the space.

I see spring cabbage and cauliflower as an option, and maybe some overwintering broad beans like Aquadulce, but what are others going to do between now and Christmas (when my first year as a plot holder is up!!).

Great site and virtual community - any ideas (or sarcasm!!) welcomed

Cheers,

Winter cabbages, kale, over wintering Lisbon spring onions or just buy John's book and it tells you what to do every month(do I get a percentage for that promotion?) brilliant read when the backs gone after digging all day.......
If you have any strawberries, take the runners and plant them out and make a big strawberry patch if you have room. You could still plant some spinach and keep it covered at night to get it going..... Leeks could go in now, bit late but worth a try I reckon. Garlic too.

Great, thanks for the thoughts so far, keep 'em coming...if nothing else it made me remember that I do have John's book, and should get it out and read it!!!
Have a small, unruly strawberry patch, so that is worth doing!!

Plenty of bad back time for me there too....

Prep the soil and sow a green manure to keep it weed-free and fertile until the spring.
