Hi have just been up to the allotment and have just managed to clear a patch I thought would have to wait until next year......what if anything can I plant from sratch this late in the year...thanks

You could pop in radish, lettuce, peas.... I think you should still have time

[MEL78]

thanks I am overrun with raddishes and have lots of lettuces waiting to come up might try to get some peas in though so thanks for the advice...

Can´t actually hurt to try anything realy can it...especially if you already have the seeds!

[MKG]

Beetroot.

Chicory, First earlies, sweetcorn...

Buy plants, bassicas & beans.

[Millymollymandy]

Loads of things including all your winter brassicas.

Carrots, beetroot, french beans, spring onions, all salady stuff, the only thing I wouldn't bother about this late in the day is leeks (buy as baby plants and plant out) or tomatoes (again go buy from a garden centre).

And depending on where you are it may be too hot now for peas and broad beans.

Over here in Ireland, Aldi are doing a 'mature plant' sale at the moment - tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, at 4 euros a go - keep your eyes open for similar where you are.
Or you could pop to the local garden centre & see what they have on sale & rescue those?

I'd try anything that you have seeds for anyway, just in case!

[MEL78]

thanks for the advice think I will look out for some plants (hopefully will find some sprouts somewhere my 9 year old is not happy that I haven't planted any)

wow, what a nine year old! I can't get my adult family to go near them if it's not christmas.

[MEL78]

she loves them and complains if anyone else in the family get more than her on their plates

I second the mature plants - there is practically nothing now that you cannot buy from garden centres.

Also, get hold of some strawberry runners from someone and stick them in in the next few months...then you will get a nice decent early crop next summer/late spring.

Oh and stick in some perpetual spinach...that will keep you going all winter if it gets established before winter starts.
