    Winter variety of lettuce such as Kwiek or Winter Density. It's a little late for sowing carrots but you may get a way with it if you sow a short-rooted variety such as Early Nantes 2 or Amsterdam Forcing. You could sow potatoes ready for New Year's Day. Spring Cabbage is planted in the Autumn for spring greens in the spring - Durham Early or Pixie are good examples. You could also grow Spring Onions, Swiss Chard, and American Land Cress.

    Thompson & Morgan do an Oriental Salad Leaves mix seed which can be grown all year round in the greenhouse.

    If your winters are very cold there likely isn't anything you can grow in an unheated greenhouse. Even the cool weather plants that can withstand a frost or two will succumb to constant freezing temperatures.
