A quick reminder of veg. you can sow over the next month to have crops during ‘the hungry gap’:
Lettuce, sow early September harvest April – May (make sure you use a winter hardy cultivar)
Spring cabbage, sow August – September harvest March – May (choose hardy cultivars if you live in the north of England or Scotland)
Brassicas growing earlier this year
Spinach, sow early September harvest April – June
Salad onions, sow now to early September harvest April – May
Leaf beets, sow until end of August harvest April – June
Milan turnips, sow to end of August harvest October
Make sure you protect them from slugs and pigeons though!

"Make sure you protect them from slugs and pigeons though!"
Easier said than done MG. In theory I'm all for it but in practice I'm hopeless. Can I blame my sticky clay soil? Oh, and I've just remembered, we thought we'd let the chooks have a free range in the veg plot over winter.
