Don’t plant a single seed this October until you know whether you’re a “number one” or a “number two” gardener. In this video, I’ll help you answer that question by figuring out your climate zone for October, and then show you exactly what to plant this month so you don’t waste time, seeds, or energy.

If you’re a number one gardener (frost already hit or on the way), I’ll show you the best quick-growing, frost-hardy crops to plant right now. Plants like lettuce, spinach, radishes, carrots, and beets. These plants love cool soil and can give you harvests well into late fall (especially if you use frost cloth protection).

If you’re a number two gardener (no frost yet and maybe none all year), you’re in luck! October is your chance to grow bigger, longer-season crops like kale, Swiss chard, napa cabbage, mustards, arugula, and even fruiting crops like sugar snap peas and fava beans. Plus, you can add calendula for color and natural pest control. And no matter where you garden, there’s one thing everyone should plant in October… garlic.(it’s so fun and so rewarding!)

Most of these crops are part of our Easy Garden Kit, which walks you step by step through planting, tending, and harvesting, plus setting up raised beds and creating my favorite soil mix. I’ll link it below so you can grab yours. So before you put anything in your beds this October, watch this video and plant with confidence!
