There are lots of root vegtables that can be harvested in winter.
The whole reason for humans being the dominant species is our ability to co-operate. While some people here are going "lone wolf" and taking sniper shots at puppies and kittens... I'll be using my bible to get myself a whole load of followers and keep the together the community. By working together, and pooling our resources and efforts, we will be far more likely to be able to do the things you rightly say are difficult (like farming) than anyone who goes it alone however tooled up they are.

Living off the land is HARD to do and takes a lot of hard work even in the most fertile of areas (I knew a couple that lived off the land they lived on, it was a full time job just to put food on the table). You have to farm (which is NOT easy, ask a farmer) and do that without a lot of the modern equipment used today.
Urban area? Good luck on that, most of the easily editable crops/plants will be scavenged over in a week and planting takes time.
You know that season? That season when it's really cold? With the snow and the frost? What's that called again... Oh yeah WINTER. That time when nothing grows and all the plants die. Try living in the dead of winter and eating what you find. Southern England may not be Canada in terms of weather, but it's not tropical by any means.
The military trains people hard for many months just to be able to live off the land they happen to crash/end up in. It's not easy and it's a hard, hard life.
