Hi OT, welcome to the forums.

Is the plot in good shape then?

You can plant certain types of onion and shallot sets - don't get ones for spring planting no matter how cheap.

Garlic can go in anytime from now up until December.

Also,
Winter Density Cos Lettuce
Spring Onion (get winter hardy type)
Corn Salad
Coriander
Parsley

hmm, I'm in same position as you regarding allotment.

I've planted:
perennial herbs - rocket, oregano, sage, rosemary, mint, thyme, savoury,
red basil and lemon basil
jap onion seeds
spring cabbage seeds, in pots
purple sprouting broccoli *seedlings*
"french salad mixture"calabrese (this one is an experiment because its completely the wrong time to plant these)
radicchio if that's how it's spelled
comfrey (for fertilizer)

'm fairly sure all these can still be planted now
