Good thing I looked this up. I need to wait a wee bit longer before attempting to do some wildflower / native grass #DormantPlanting. First big freeze was last night. I need to wait for a couple more. However, I can at least rake and prep the area I want to plant in.
FAQs About Planting #Wildflowers In Fall & #Meadow Maintenance
"For Climates With Freezing Winters
Generally Zones 1-6 | Northeast, Midwest, and The Rockies
When to plant:
In areas with a deep winter freeze and shorter growing seasons, we recommend a dormant planting for seeds in fall. Dormant planting means spreading seeds after a few killing frosts, so that the seeds lay dormant over the winter.
What to expect:
The goal of dormant planting is for seeds to lay inactive over the winter. Sowing should happen only after several killing frosts and when ground temperatures are continuously below 50°F.
Germination will begin the following season after ground temperatures have warmed up to above 55°F.
What to plant:
In these climates, you can sow annual wildflower seeds, perennial wildflower seeds, or a mix of annuals and perennials."

Curious about when and how to plant wildflower seeds in the fall? Or wondering what to do with your meadow as the growing season comes to an end? Click on your question below to jump to the answer. For more information, visit our Wildflower Learning Center for all of our wildflower planting guid...
Oh boy! Well, it's a bit too windy to plant seeds today, but I've gotten a bunch ready -- found out one of the wildflowers has deep roots (Blue Cornflower), so I'll plant those in other parts of the yard. My plan is to establish a wildflower and native grass meadow over our leach field. Goldenrod, Black-Eyed Susans, Cosmos, Butterfly Weed, Indian Blanket, Poppies, Clover, Goldenrod -- all have shallow roots and should be safe to plant. I'll also be expanding the wildflower garden around our dug well and near our young oak tree. The Cosmos and Milkweed did well there, but I'd like to have a little more variety for our bee and butterfly friends!

10 Vegetables to Plant in October for Easy Crops and a Bumper Harvest
You’ll have a glut of vegetables come spring if you sow these crops in your kitchen garden this October…
By Kayleigh Dray, September 20, 2025
"The harvest moon of 2025 is almost upon us, so why not celebrate with the best vegetables to plant in October? Oh sure, most vegetable gardening basics will tell you that the growing season is almost over, but the fall is actually the perfect time to keep your beds productive and set yourself up for a glut of veg in the months to come.
"Of course, what you can grow depends heavily on your local climate. The USDA Hardiness Zones (a map dividing our beautiful country into regions based on average minimal winter temperatures) is your best guide. If you’re based somewhere warmer, you’ll likely find you can keep on planting throughout the fall and winter months; those in colder climes, however, need to be strategic.
"There’s an easy trick to help with this: pick crops that are suited to shorter days and chillier evenings. Whether that’s leafy greens that love the cold, root vegetables that bulk up underground, overwinter crops that reward patient planters come springtime, or even hardy herbs that pack a serious punch, there’s plenty of options for anyone who wants to keep their hands firmly in the soil this October…"
