Best Seeds To Plant During Autumn, Fall And Winter

November 18, 2020 Karen A. Mulvey

The key to a successful spring harvest starts with solid planning and preparation this fall. Most of these plants can be started from seeds sown directly in the garden before the first frost. For some plants (and in some growing zones), you may need to use things like cold frames or greenhouses to get by.

Keep in mind, though, that many of these plants can also be grown indoors during the fall and winter months. You’ll be able to enjoy a continual harvest 365 days of the year.

If you aren’t sure when to plant, simply consult the back of the seed packet for the plant you are growing. It will list the time to maturity, so you can count backward from the average date of the first hard frost in your area. Most plants can be started in August for the best results, but this varies.

If you’ve never grown anything before, trying to garden and grow a pumpkin might seem like a daunting task. Fortunately, it isn’t as difficult as it might appear. Pumpkins might need a lot of sunlight, water, and nutrients, but they don’t require constant attention. The most you will need to do is practice good garden hygiene and check your plants for any signs of potential disease.

So forget buying a pumpkin at the store. Try to plant your own for Halloween. It might require more effort and time, but once it has grown you’ll have a pumpkin you can be proud of!
