I usually have at least a third of the plot brassicas, plus some leeks and parsnips. Winter veg is my favourite to grow as you can harvest when you want to eat it, rather than having a summer glut.
This year trying to do more second cropping so have savoy cabbage, turnips, and green mustard in where various things have finished, plus winter spinnach, spring onions, spring cabbage, claytonia, and endives in trays nearly ready to be planted out. Plot should be about 3/4 full during the winter if all goes to plan this year.

Do you grow much over winter - its wet/cold i cant be bothered so i cover my plot in weed proof membrane about now and uncover in march. ive done this for 13 yrs. Then in spring this yr (i think march time so still huge risk of frost) i got a non cultivation letter. i spoke to site management at the time and we resolved things - im just paranoid now about covering my plot up again and getting another letter. I emailed them a week ago outlining the background and my plans and asked is this ok? ive had no response - are you really expected to cultivate whole plot 52 wks/yr ?
