Any veg that can be planted this month ?

We've started to lift the first potatoes and our peas are nearly over - any suggestions on what I could try and sneak in ? I've got a few pumpkins in pots that would like to spread their roots I'm sure but would I be mad to try chaud, more runners, late peas etc ? I didn't get a lettuce that I particular like this year - is it too late for salads ? I've got a greenhouse so could move things if needs be

Thank you !

I usually start some leeks in late summer.
Successional sowing of lettuce is still going on in my patch.

Alys Fowler in the Guardian:
There's plenty of time to resow beetroots, spring onions, lettuce, dwarf beans (french, runner and drying), carrots, parsnips (they'll be small, but delicious), oraches, kales, leeks, broccoli raab or rapini, turnips, rocket, radishes, mizuna and kohlrabi. Even courgettes and pattypans can still be sown – and tomatoes, as long as you have somewhere protected to house them over autumn.

Thank you ! I think I'm just going to give stuff a go - what's the worse that can happen ! Not sure I can cope with more courgettes though.... I always plant more than two seeds and regret it !
