Wat chall growing in the greenhouse/polytunnel over winter. - Vinny - 02-09-2022
Thread brought on by a mention in another thread of growing spring cabbage over winter in greenhouse. Personally I have grown garlic,broad beans and cabbages over winter in the past.
I need some inspiration (and please don't say boring lettuce) for what to grow in a greenhouse with lots of panes of glass missing over winter this year!

Took me a while to understand your accent.
I always grow Bijou mangetout, rocket, spinach and chard, boring lettuce (sorry but I had to say it), landcress and whatever oriental leaves decide to self seed,,,,,,,and purple kale. I have a pot of CFBs but don't know how successful they'll be overwinter.
Physalis, early strawberries (I hope). Spring onions, carrots and beetroot. Parsley and a pot of mint. I'm sure there's more.

Not a lot, every experiment that V encouraged me into in the last couple of years has failed miserably due to frost or neglect. I'm losing heart.

Over wintering stuff . Actually growing nothing.

You could try carrots, calabrese and cauliflower sown in October. They should be ready in May or earlier. Overwintering onions will also be ready earlier under cover.
