In this video, I share 35 awesome veggies to plant in October a beautiful fall garden! October’s mild weather allows gardeners to plant a huge diversity of vegetables in their garden, and the lower humidity, reduction in insect pests and reduced irrigation needs make it easy to grow big harvests. These fall vegetables are frost and freeze tolerant and are a must when planting a fall garden!
All of these fall crops can be sown in October for a fall harvest or winter harvest, depending on your climate and days to maturity.

Your enthusiasm is contagious! Your videos often cheer me and and get me motivated to just try some things. I harvested 100+lbs of tomatoes this summer thanks to many of your tips! I have carrots and pumpkins growing, and after watching this, I'm going to attempt some onions — because why not!!?! Thanks so much for the awesome, continued content! 🙂
This is so helpful, and explains exactly what happened to my arugula this spring. Thanks very much, especially providing the seed links.
That Dale, he is just doing such a good job protecting you guys from those dirty ole possums! 🙂
So glad to hear you guys are ok. Love your channel.
THIS VIDEO WAS SO INFORMATIVE! I learned so much. Thank you!
Here in FL, I've found wire trash cans from dollar store are great to protect baby seeds/plants from hard rain and harsh sun. 🙂
❤❤❤❤
Thx for the videos, your information and tips helped me choose what to grow this year.
🧛
Hi, I loved this video. This gives so many choices that I didn't realize we could plant now. I'm in NWA zone 6A and probably won't have frost for several more weeks I anticipate. It's been very hot and dry this summer.
I'm growing in mostly grow bags under three large hoop houses for the first time. I also have six 4×8 raised beds. The hoop houses are covered with plastic and shade cloth as well for this summer. Will the plastic be enough to protect the greens all winter or will I still need the frost cloth inside the hoop houses to protect the greens through the winter. I want to plant a lot of greens.
My biggest issue and challenge this summer have been the bugs. The cabbage moths and the squash buds have been devastating greens and squash a week as cucumber beetles. I cannot seem to get rid of them and have tried many natural insecticides. I'm wondering about a separate garden cloth over my beds in the hoop houses to protect from the bugs or will they be a problem in the winter?
Again, thank you so much for your extremely informative and very entertaining videos.
Hope you and your family are alright!
Sad.y s8mething ate all my beet seedlings
Great video! Thank you!
Were you affected by Huuricane Helene. In zone 3a, getting vegies off the garden getting ready for frost
We can plant garlic here in Winnipeg Zone 3 in mid Oct to late Oct
You are so motivational, Helene came through and now I have to do a garden reset and now I know just what to plant
I’m starting my first fall/winter garden totally inspired by your videos. Its still so warm, have a ton of caterpillars left in my beds! What should I do?
Once again awesom video. Gained lot of knowledge. May I know about the traps you are talking at the end of the video. If possible please make a video.
Good video. At what temperature do I need to take the shade cloth off my brassicas? I'm in zone 7B. Thanks
Devastating news for NC. Very sad. Hang in there. And now Florida once again.
We just purchased a 2 acre organic farm in Eastern Tennessee. Little run down but goal is to bring it back again. I was stressing out about how overwhelming it all is. But I was SO THANK FULL I found your Channel. I have a log road ahead of me but "m very thankful to you for all the information, instructions and precise guidance you provide in a simple and precise manner. Feel not as lost. Our goal is to sell in the future in farmers markets.. Question: It is a registered organic farm, do al seeds need to be as well ORGANIC SEEDS? I have gotten my platers ready and a little late but will be seeding some of the October seed. I will keep on watching. THNAK YOU AGAIN. good luck on the homestead and my thoughts are with all the people in NC
