Winter in the GH & PT

I'm trying something different this year, only thought of it today!!
Some of the tomatoes are finished or unlikely to produce any new fruit this year, so I've been pulling them up. My plan is to leave their pots and canes in situ but plant some Bijou mangetout with a few DFBs in each empty pot. I'll top up the pots with fresh compost and some chicken manure pellets before sowing the seeds.
The self-seeded lettuce are germinating around the pots as usual.
The gutter gardens will need fresh seeds/seedlings and I've learnt now, not to sow too thickly.
I'll have a few pots of carrots and sow some more direct into the beds.

Veggie, have you planted DFBs and Bijou this late in the season before?  I might give it a try too, although I think your climate is as little kinder than mine..
