Having not had a garden for many years, I now do and have taken delivery of a plastic covered mini greenhouse that has a fleece cover for the winter.
I don't know what to grow in terms of fruit and veg for late Summer/Autumn/Winter.
Can anyone give me some tips please?
Many thanks

Being a newbie to greenhouse growing i read your question and had a thought. If your greenhouse is plastic and you want to grow for the winter you will need heat to germinate whatever you are growing. So what kind of heater can you have in a plastic greenhouse without it melting? Sorry to put the dampner on things for you but maybe its something you should think about looking in to first.

I maybe should have mentioned, I have a shed I can use and can also germinate seeds in the house.I must go, I have lives to ruin and hearts to break

I have a similar mini greenhouse, but it's a tomato greenhouse from Wilkinsons, for £10 - in fact, it's this exact one:- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gardman-08720-Growhouse/dp/B000288DBI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1248390154&sr=8-1
As you can see it doesn't have a fleece cover!
I grow tomatoes in mine, but I also have some carrots growing as well as my tomatoes.Everybody is equal; However some are more equal than others.0
