An example: Brussels sprouts, a winter vegetable. But it reached its size at the end of October / November ... Sown in September, you will be too late - unless the winter is warm. And there are a few like that. In any case at home. Ditto for the "winter escaroles".
Where you are right: it is sometimes difficult to sow during this period. Normally there was always a little wet patch somewhere in August. But it's not as normal anymore ... So sometimes you have to water the seedlings.
For my part, currently, I am remaking buckets. In the frames but without the windows! And I water of course. One can advantageously shade these nurseries (I should do it, but it is still not done).
After, as I said, chews, turnips, some carrots, beets, we can be more patient ...
Then, we should distinguish the nature of the vegetable: lamb's lettuce, escarole, leeks, etc. we eat the vegetative apparatus. We can eat if it's small! For others (Brussels sprouts, cauliflower) it is the buds. And there, if a sufficient stage of development is not reached, we have nothing!
