What can I be sowing now? (september)

[beckydore]

Unfortunately due to working away and my Dad being ill, I've not been planning ahead and am about to get loads of bare soil.
I have got a few brussels sprouts, leeks and purple sprouting broccoli planted but little else to go through the winter. Am I too late now? and should I start getting something in for next year?

can plant onion sets & garlic in the next few weeks.....

possibly peas an broad beans for an earlier crop next year...

winter lettuce under cloches, maybe even a quick crop of radish....

ebay has some great bargains on plug plants.  Next plot to me has just been relet and she has bought something like 100 plugs for under a tener as she has nothing else to plant.

You can also sow saladini ... the oriental salads and chicories ... and of course  winter lettuces.  ;D

what are the best varieties of lettuce to grow over winter?

and is it best to sow them in situ or start them off in modules as i do with summer ones?

I've got rouge d'hiver, winter density and bronze arrowhead which I intend to sow in situ with slug protection.
