Hi and welcome mugins!

You've still time to grow some crops, especially salad crops such as lettuce, radish and the like, plus in a couple of months you could sow autumn planted onion sets, autumn sown broad beans and peas, and spring onions and spring cabbage, I'd also look for some winter brassicas at the Garden center to see if you could get some in now for harvesting later in the year!

Other than that then get your beds sorted for next year (dug over, mucked and covered for the winter), your planting plans in place and your seeds ready to start propogating early in the new year!

HTH

Hi Mugins!! Welcome to our forum!!

Really, to grow autumn sown onions, broad beans and peas to overwinter ready for harvesting next year, all depends on how much space you have on your veggie plot. You would start harvesting in May and the onions should be ready in July but these are the months when you want your main summer and autumn crops to be planted out and growing. It all depends if you have plenty of ground to set aside for autumn sown crops.
