Late veggies

[maderedundant]

Hi all,
has anyone had experience of growing veggies late in the season in the uk. I am considering growing some to be ready for Christmas. Any advice appreciated.

Best if you have a polytunnel or greenhouse I would think. low light and low temps make growth slow and weak. Leaf veg and salading might do ok under cover. Perhaps the globe carrots.
I tend to grow more in the summer and freeze for xmas use.
Some veg are daylength sensitive and will not grow in the autumn - onions etc.
Spinach beet , leeks, broccoli, parsnips etc stand well outside after doing their growth earlier in the year.

I bought some seed potatoes sold as Christmas potatoes from my local wyevale garden centre on Saturday.I have got them chitting at the mo. and will dig a new bed for them at the weekend, weather permitting.I hope they do well as I can already smell them roasting on Christmas morning !.
