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…"

Good morning dear ones! Happy Monday.

I am over run with herbs atm, so I carefully washed them yesterday and layered them in paper towels in a container in the fridge.

I love the Middle Eastern approach to soft herbs where they are an essential part of every meal. When I first made "A Bowl of Herbs" it was a revelation to me - how herbs could feature in a salad-like dish instead of just being a flavour accompaniment to other ingredients.

In the fridge I have fennel fronds, dill, coriander leaves, parsley, mint, radish leaves.

So last night I made a huge omelette, one that you finish under the grill and it puffs up, chokka with herbs. Herbs, herbs and more herbs. With a simple ME style salad of tomato, cucumber, radish, onion. The omelette could be cut into wedges for serving. A perfect Sunday night no-fuss meal. 10 plant-based ingredients. Would have been more if I had dressed the salad but I often like a simple salad without dressing, just salt. #30PerWeek

Today I will make a herbed rice with lots of the herbs. One of my fav rice dishes is with fresh broad beans and dill, another ME dish. But herbs this time, and lots of them with maybe some peas or beans, with an Indian curry. (8 pb ingredients plus what goes into the curry - maybe 6 more?)

I love #herbs ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
