    Most veg can still be sown now . I don't grow much veg but I've got Tomatoes - Cumcumbers - Melons ( all 3 technically fruit ) can still be sown . Do you just want ideas for veg for the Greenhouse ? I'll be sowing Lettuces - carrots - swede maybe beetroot and basil tomorrow .

    Typical Amateur Greenhouse crops in UK would be Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Peppers. Melons are a bit more effort, and I think on the late side to sow now ... they take a long time to get to the point of actually making fruit, and then need time to fatten up and ripen.

    Pretty much everything else I would grow outside ... unless you have a big greenhouse, in which case Sweetcorn is a good crop and short-season so sowing now would get you an earlier, and more "sure", crop than outside. Could also grow Dwarf French Beans for a crop earlier than the Climbing Beans will give you outdoors, and some infill like Lettuce - but they don't like too much heat, so not worth growing mid Summer under glass.

    How big is the greenhouse?
