Default What can I grow this late in the season?

Most of you will know that I've recently got an allotment. It needed quite a bit of working (and still does) and I haven't got anything growing yet.

I wanted to grow onions, spring onions, peppers, tomatoes, courgette, cucumbers, garlic, carrots, swede, parsnips, kale this year. I'm really not sure if this is possible, given that it's June now!

Does anyone have any advice about this?

Thanks in advance!

As above..late peas, all year round Cauli's, may even get away with some leeks..Savoy Cabs...bit later on winter/spring cabs...most salad stuff..
Check out the local nursery...or even car boot sales, often find people selling off excess plants...At least it will get you going, spur you on and give you more time to continue working and planning your plot....
