I've just finished preparing my last bit of garden in my 'zone one' kitchen garden.... However it's getting a bit late in the season. What can I sow now that is likely to give me some sort of crop? We don't get early frosts, but nothing much grows after the end of September as it gets too dark and windy after the equinox. It isn't hot here either - outside I'm lucky to get above 15 degrees Celsius (about 60 Fahrenheit) even in summer, and it's generally moist too. So I'm looking for a cool season, quick growing crop or other ground cover.

I'm assuming you might already be doing chard or kale....?    They sometimes have a bit of a hard time getting going, but in your climate would still produce into at least the early winter if not through the winter.  I just transplanted some kale from starting flats last night.  I would sow seeds, but the flea beetles here just hammer emerging kale/Brassica seedlings so we have better success transplanting older plants.

Spinach, peas and cabbage might fair well with those conditions.

I would think peas or pole beans.

It is a winter staple for me.
