His old notes about what to plant, harvest, preserve, and eat through every month of the year now sit alongside mine in my complete self-sufficient gardening book. 👉 Get seeds: - Scallions https://amzn.to/4AKY0Bb - Pea shoots https://amzn.to/4AM1qns - Radishes https://amzn.to/3TylB7F - Tatsoi https://amzn.to/3U9An4V - Baby bok choy https://amzn.to/4rMgEVh - Swiss chard https://amzn.to/4rMp3Z0 - Beets https://amzn.to/4yth3OT - Carrots https://amzn.to/4jllsPx - Mache https://amzn.to/4i3e4pJ 👉 Get Heavy Duty Plant Caddy with Wheels https://amzn.to/4zd5mvS 👉 Get Deep Vegetable Planter Pot https://amzn.to/4rHb2eY 👉 Get Window Box Planter https://amzn.to/4AGoMe1 As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. Most people empty their garden pots in October, dump the soil, and stack them away until spring. But those pots may be sitting in one of the best growing windows of the entire year. Warm soil, cool air, fewer pests, sweeter roots, and cold-hardy greens mean you can still grow fresh food long after the summer garden is finished — even after the first frost. In this video, I will show you 9 vegetables you can grow in pots this fall and winter, including scallions you can regrow from the grocery store, pea shoots from dried pantry peas, fast-growing radishes, baby bok choy, tatsoi, Swiss chard, beets, carrots, and mache — one of the toughest winter greens most Americans have forgotten. You will also see how I combine radishes and carrots in the same container, how to harvest beet greens without stopping the root crop, how to turn a deep carrot pot into a small winter root cellar, and how to keep container vegetables alive when freezing weather arrives. Here in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, between zones 6 and 7, October is our last good planting window before winter. If you live farther north, you will want to lean harder on the quickest crops. If you live in zones 8 and warmer, fall may actually be the beginning of your best growing season. Subscribe and press the bell if you want practical gardening and homestead methods like these. And tell me in the comments: What state are you in, and what vegetable do you keep driving to the store for that you wish you could grow at home? I read every single one.
