Probably.

I have put some spinach/chard in my free polytunnel beds. Otherwise, it's just hardier lettuce, Miner's lettuce, mizuna and stuff like that.

Get hold of Joy Larkcoms book "Vegetables" from the library. There is a two or three page article at the back that lists everything she grows over winter.

One of Jo Maidens suggestions is that you put your hanging baskets to use and sow peas out of the reach of mice and other rodents. They hand down so choose relatively short (metre) varieties.

I grow the following outside:

Rocket, mizuna, mustard leaves, chard, lambs lettuce, hairy bitter cress, land cress and endives.

The latter keel over after hard frosts but most of the others cope with minus-5

Inside I would add pak choi and other oriental greens? Winter lettuce, kales (as saladings), salad onions and maybe transplant a few strawberry plants?
