November

As we move further into fall and approach winter, most gardening activities start to wind down. However, there are still some things you can plant, particularly in milder climates. Here's what you can start planting this month:

Start Indoors

Microgreens and Sprouts

If you're missing fresh greens, try growing microgreens or sprouting seeds indoors. They're quick to mature and can be grown on a windowsill.

Sow Outdoors

Garlic and Shallot

If you haven't already, plant garlic and shallots. They overwinter in the ground and will start growing in early spring for a summer harvest.

Broad Beans and Peas

In milder climates, you can sow broad beans and peas in late fall for an early spring crop. They'll need some protection if hard frosts are expected.

Cover Crops

It's not too late to sow cover crops. They help protect your soil from erosion over the winter and add nutrients when tilled under in the spring.

Spring Flowering Bulbs

If the ground hasn't frozen yet, you can still plant spring flowering bulbs. This is your last chance to get them in the ground for a spring display.

Remember, all gardening activities in November are dependent on the climate and weather conditions in your specific area. Always seek local advice if you're unsure, as your local garden centers or agricultural extension services can provide specific guidance.
