I spent too many growing seasons making this mistake and it is very easily done when we are distracted by harvests like TOMATOES! But I have learnt my lesson and want to share with you why this mistake has a negative knock-on impact for the following growing season and then the simple fix to ensure not only much better soil health, but an abundance of fresh food over the coldest months. One way of doing this is using a planting grid system around your summer crops as I explain in this video along with so many other tips and ideas.

Vegetables to sow in September undercover, to continue growing a coldframe/poyltunnel etc:
Coriander, corn salad, claytonia, chop suey greens, chard, ornamental greens (mizuna etc), pakchoi, tatsoi, winter lettuce, spring cabbage, radish, turnips, beetroot (a slight riskey one but worth a go!), kale, spinach, field beans, peas, parsley.
