The following should give you some tips and advice:

For training courses see:

My tips are to sow small amounts of lots of different things on a regular basis, and start green leafy things (lettuce, pak choi, cabbage, kale, broccoli etc) in plugs indoors and plant out when they are large enough and strong enough to withstand attack by pests and diseases.

You can probably pick up more tips over at the gardening forum:

turnip, cabbage, kale andbroccoli, are advailable at garden centres, if you can scource a breed of cabbage called cut and cum you are on a winner, also if you can get seeds of a cabbage called hungry gap you are on another winner, prepare your ground , them plant, the seeds can be shaken on the ground, just scatter them, cover the area with netting to keep the birds away. now you have green for the winter, not as easily done as said, but not too hard anyway.
