15 Vegetables You Should Plant in October ASAP! DO IT NOW! Most folks rake the leaves, cover the mower, and call the garden done in October. My granddaddy called it the start of next year. Zeb Combs here, from up a holler in the Appalachian mountains. In this video I count down 15 crops you can still put in the ground this October, straight out of my granddaddy's leather journal. These are the same plantings that fed our family through the Great Depression and put greens on the table in March, before anything else woke up.

You'll also see what the grocery store charges you for the same food, and why most of these crops quietly disappeared from American gardens. In this countdown: Egyptian walking onions, the onion that plants itself Mache and miner's lettuce, salad under the snow Black Spanish winter radish and overwintering spinach Horseradish and rhubarb, plant once and eat for decades Winter lettuce under an old window cold frame Hairy vetch and crimson clover, the free nitrogen the fertilizer companies never mention Austrian winter peas and sunchokes Garlic, true French shallots, and the near-extinct potato onion And number one, the thing every crop on this list has been pointing at This isn't prepper doomer talk.
