If you plant fava beans remember to add their
tender top leaves to raw green salads in from late February to late March.
They're delicious.

Thank you everyone for your help.
After looking around to see what vegetable seeds I could find, I decided to
sow mange tout peas, radishes, two diferent tipes of letuces, garlic and
onions. I'm considering also the fava beans (everyone arrond here has them, so
I think they will be very easy to grow). I guess that, to start with, this
will be a good choice of vegetables

Alexandre,
Greetings from the Algarve!
I have a small but very productive vegetable
plot (~15m2).
This is only my second season here so I am no
expert.
I have just cleared away some of my summer
crops - courgettes, cucumber onions and bolted lettuces. In their place I
have sowed more salads (lettuce, rocket, coriander, radish). This week I
will sow some more onions (especially spring onions), plant out garlic and
now is definitely the time to sow broad beans (favas) . I think you would
have success with a wide range of brassicas. Turnips and kohl rabi work - we
just dont like them. Carrots grow ok now but I wont bother. I will probably
do a row of mange tout peas which do well here in the cooler months but fail
in summer. I have found that our winter months can be quite
productive.
So this is a fairly busy time for me with the
vegetables. My next big sowing will be mid-February.
Boa Sorte
BrianO

I'm thinking of starting a vegetable plot in my garden. I
have no experience with vegetables so I would like your advice on this
matter. What would be the best vegetables to sow at this time of year.
This is southern Portugal and the weather is still warm, arround
20-25ºC (and likelly to stay like that for a few more weeks). Thank
you for your advices
