Hello upsydaisy, Welcome to the Winter Sowing forum and a fun filled winter. You can sow just about anything you can imagine with the Winter Sowing method.

Have you checked the Winter Sowing FAQ?

You will find ideas for seed selection as well as other information related to Winter Sowing.

There is a lively discussion on direct sowing vs. Winter Sowing on the Perennials forum. A couple members are from the UK.
I am sure they will be good resources for information.
