There are many seeds that you can plant in October, depending on your location and climate. Some of the most common ones are:

  • Flowers: You can plant fall flowers that will bloom in early spring, such as celosia, asters, dianthus, and wallflowers. You can also sow hardy annuals and perennials that need a cold spell to germinate, such as primulas, poppies, and hollyhocks.
  • Garlic: Garlic is a vegetable that can be planted in the fall for a larger and earlier harvest next spring. You can choose from different varieties, such as elephant, Spanish Roja, and Inchelium Red.
  • Herbs: Herbs are great to grow indoors throughout the winter months. You can start an indoor herb garden with basil, chives, oregano, parsley, and thyme. You can also buy herb kits that have everything you need to grow your own herbs.
  • Peas: Peas are a fast and easy crop to grow in October. You can sow hardy cultivars like Avola and Meteor directly in the ground or in containers. They will germinate and grow before winter, and then resume growth in spring for an early harvest.
  • Salad leaves: Salad leaves are one of the easiest crops to grow. You can sow them directly in well-prepared soil or in pots. They may give you a small crop before winter, or they will enter dormancy and start growing again in March for fresh salad leaves.
  • Broad beans: Broad beans can be sown in October for a spring harvest. You can sow them directly in the soil or in trays to plant out later. They will put on some growth before winter, and then romp ahead in spring.
  • Cauliflower: Cauliflower is a vegetable that can be sown in October to overwinter, and then planted out in spring. 

These are some of the seeds that you can plant in October. I hope this helps you plan your garden.
