spinach and most of the salad leaves, also herbs, beetroot possibly. Winter radish also available.
Could start peas and broad beans for planting out next year.

Just a thought :unsure:  but won't it be too warm for the brassicas in a greenhouse?

Peas and beans will crop well in there, and much earlier than outside  :)

Sow some autumn carrots, and chard.

Some ideas here:

I'm not sure about cabbage, caulis , leek

"i know beans and peas wont do"

I grow dwarf French beans - they don't need Bees to pollinate them. Tried climbing French Beans once - too much effort with all the growth!
