Winter Greens

There is still time to sow cabbage seeds, in small pots or seed trays, and you'd have seedlings ready to plant out in about 6 weeks. Or good garden centres will have young plants around now, and up to October probably. that might be a better idea, then you can just buy them and bung them in!
Hmmmm. Getting the use of an allotment over the winter months isn't exactly a great favour is it?!

Broccoli, cabbage, spinach, swiss chard, lettuce
It all depends on your winter climate. Go check out your local garden shop and ask the associate for advice on what grows best in your area.

Get your Brussels sprouts in in time for Christmas - although you really should have had them on the boil since Easter...!! :-)
