There’s not a huge amount that grows over winter. You can do some brassicas but you’d probably have them in by now. I’ve got a load of sprouts and some perennial broccoli which I’m trying for the first time. Broad beans can go in in autumn as well as onion sets and garlic (not that any of them do a huge amount until spring) I think Chard can go fairly well into the winter months, too.
Other than that I get a bit of perennial kale. But it’s more a case of covering, clearing and mulching/manuring.
Planning to put a bit more effort in this winter as the nettles up the side of my plot have got quite out of hand. Managed to avoid my summer non-cultivation letter this year, partly as I was on the plot with the kids when they came to inspect it.
