Vegetables - planting now for winter/spring

    Anyone share my problem? I literally can't see the ground in my vegetable plot for the plants, but I know that in a month or two many of them will be over and I'll need something to put in their places. There's no point leaving the ground bare. Obviously green manures are part of the solution, but I'd rather something I can eat.

    So far, I have purple sprouting broccoli plants in one corner ready to be moved to wherever there's a free space. I'm planning to start some swiss chard and spring cabbages (any recommendations of varieties?) in modules for the same purpose.

    But then what? Can anyone recommend any overwintering vegetables I can start in modules now? Anything more exotic than cabbage and turnips?

    And what about the little glasshouse? the tomatoes will be over in September/October. What does one do then? Sweet peas? Lettuces in grow bags?
