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.

Thank you for the info, i live in Eastern Europe and im going to experiment with the vegies you recomend. Exept Garlic, its allready working and you can grow him like you said even in Alaska🙂, love garlic.
thank u for all the tips! I hope i can make my own conduit hoops without all d equipment needed to make it. hahaha
I've watched several "plant in October" videos. This was by far, the best. What I especially liked is the discussion of cold and warm hearty lettuces, spinach, etc. I never knew there were cold hearty and warm hearty lettuces. Maybe you could do a video on cold and warm hearty varieties of many different vegetables'. I don't think anyone else has done that.
super comprehensive content! very helpful, thanks 😊
“Here are 35 crops you can plant from seed in October! Number 1 is garlic from cloves!”
Ummm…😅
I hope all is well for you in North Carolina. Be safe.
Glad to see your area is okay after the hurricane. Get that possum, Dale! (They ate all my pears off the tree.)
How do I maintain a Ocra Plants during the fall and winter? I was told I can over winter them if I dig them up and bring them inside. Is that necessary? Am o suppose to be cutting them branches to encourage production? I’ve had
Plenty but
I will do what NEEDS TO BE DONE. Same as tomatoe plants.
Hi Anthony.
To do the refrigerator vernalization of garlic, do I need to break the heads apart into individual cloves? Or do I put the whole head into the brown paper bag and put it into the refrigerator?
How about sugar snap peas? Are they also planted on October In new York?
How long do you wait to thin out the carrots and beets ?
Something went wrong I can't seem to get the thumbs up button to work! Weird!
Great video, thank you for your channel that I follow for a long time, very interesting, a lot of good advices. The only problem is that it's not always easy to find some variety of seeds here in Belgium. And what is important for me : I understand you very well (french is my language) because you speak clearly 😊
I'm going to use that … "If you don't like garlic then I don't trust you" Excellent humor!
I bought 5 pounds at $12/lb last year for the first time ever — I've only had the space for garlic recently. Purchased this acreage 5 1/2 years ago and have building gardens ever since before this I had a 50X140' town lot with the house taking most of the foot print and then 3 driveways left little space for gardens. I'm land drunk now thou and loving it. Anyways, I planted 200 garlic last year now I'll plant as many as the 5X60' space will allow. I've been watching lots of videos on spacing and depth ==> 4 inches deep and 7 inches apart but in between I'm going to plant as well. Now I need to figure out planting tool for that spacing ??? holes in plastic or plywood maybe?
Great video, thanks for sharing. Dale got too excited, he wants to get that possum.
This guy is inspiration. Love ur vid. Regards from uk.
How does watering work for these crops? Daily? In Idaho we have to remove the hose because of the freezes
Thanks! I look forward to planting my autumn greens.
I plant spinach, lettuces, and Swiss chard every autumn and winter. We can succession plant here because our winters are mild.
I would challenge you to grow Egyptian spinach next summer. It's a great summer crop that abundantly produces, and it can take the summer heat! It has a mild taste and is in the okra family.
What is the best time to prune oranges?
Oh snap we’re neighbors
How are you guys doing after the hurricane?
Are you okay?!?! I’m so happy you’re alive after Helene!
thanks for providing tips for container planting and thinking of us in cooler regions zone 6. Also really appreciate that you show temperatures in celsius so I'm not constantly having to convert
