Not brassicas

[mumofstig]

I would like to grow more winter greens next year but they all seem to be brassicas
The chinese/japanese greens look nice a good alternative to plain cabbage but they are all brassicas as well  :(and I have no room in the brassicas bed ..already have a couple of them in the 'wrong place' but don't like to do too much of this

Anybody have any alternatives ?

Winter lettuce (Arctic King) could be useful. Leeks of course as well and overwintering spring onions (Winter White Lisbon) give some green you can add to mashed potatoes

A late sowing of chard in July or so should see you through til Spring.

How about Mustard Greens?
See these from Real Seeds for example.

I already have my leeks in and spring onions in the greenhouse 
Chard? never tried that so looks like I'll order some of that
Mustard greens....I thought they were a brassica? if they are not I'll try some of those as well

Thanks all

I'm pretty sure that mustard greens are indeed in the brassica family, Mum

Indeed, you are right, my mistake. See here.

Chard is excellent stuff MoS 

I am sstill getting crops from some rainbow chard sown on 2nd April, so a mis summer sowing would certainly see you through the winter. Cut and come again ... oh yes!!

Lamb's lettuce does well in winter (for salads).

Salads are taken care of in the greenhouse:
mache (aka corn salad or lamb's lettuce) winter density lettuce, endive cornet de bordeaux and rocket, winter spring onions  ...even managed some frenchie things there ..do i get a star ?
