Why October is a Great Month for Planting Many new gardeners assume October marks the end of planting season, but in reality, it’s the perfect time to grow cool-weather vegetables. With shorter days and cooler nights, fall conditions give leafy greens and root crops an advantage: they thrive in mild weather, resist bolting, and often taste sweeter after a light frost. If you’re looking to extend your growing season, this fall planting guide will show you exactly what vegetables to plant in October and where to buy the freshest 2026 seed packets to get started. Top Vegetables to Plant in October Lettuce Lettuce is one of the easiest vegetables to grow in fall. Cooler weather prevents bitterness, and leaves stay crisp well into the season. Best varieties for fall: Romaine, Butterhead, and Leaf lettuce Time to harvest: 30 - 60 days Pro tip: Plant every 2 - 3 weeks for a steady harvest through late fall. Shop Lettuce Seeds for fresh 2026 packets perfect for October planting.   Radish Fast-growing and frost-tolerant, radishes are a fall garden favorite. They mature quickly, making them perfect for October planting before the ground freezes. Best varieties for fall: Cherry Belle, White Icicle, French Breakfast Time to harvest: 25 - 35 days Pro tip: Sow radish seeds every 10 days for continuous crops. Shop Radish Seeds and enjoy crisp, peppery harvests in just a few weeks.   Spinach Spinach thrives in cooler weather and can even survive under light frost. Many gardeners plant spinach in October for late-fall harvests or overwintering to sprout again in spring. Best varieties for fall: Bloomsdale Long Standing, Winter Giant Time to harvest: 35 - 50 days Pro tip: Mulch young spinach plants to protect them through the first frosts. Shop Spinach Seeds for fresh, nutrient-packed greens. Other Vegetables to Plant in October Depending on your growing zone, you can also plant: Kale – another frost-hardy leafy green with improved flavor after cold snaps Carrots – if your region has a long fall, carrots can still be direct-sown in October Fall Planting Guide: Tips for Success Know your frost date: Check your USDA hardiness zone to determine how late you can plant.
