What Varieties Of Plants Can You Grow In Autumn?

“Wherever you live, there is always something that you can plant and provide with a beautiful life. Planting seedlings in the fall requires a different approach than other times of year. It is something fulfilling and beautiful at the same time. A lot of people are often confused about what can be grown or planted in the autumn. Well, let me select a few of the best seedlings for you to grow in this fall season. 

As summer ends, you will find gardens filled with various plants, but some plants actually thrive the most when they are planted in autumn. It is important to be prepared because there is a relatively short time window that is crucial if you desire to give life to the seedlings. You should also remember that most of the fall crops take some time before reaching maturity so be patient.

If you want to plant during this fall season, consider planting these six amazingly rewarding seedlings:

1. Broccoli: When planting broccoli, make sure there is sufficient space between the seeds. 12-18 inches is recommended. To help broccoli thrive in your garden, you can use nitrogen dominant fertilizers. Broccoli can easily survive temperatures as low as 28F or -2C which means if you are in zone 9 or higher  you don’t need to worry, even in the winters. 
2. Carrots: Planting carrots in your garden requires less space than Broccoli. About 6-8 inches should be more than enough. Carrots are a bit hardier, and can thrive in temperature as low as -9C or 15 F.
3. Beets: I suggest planting beets about 2 months before the first snowfall. It makes them ready in time for the holidays. Beets’ seedlings can handle themselves through both warm and cold weather.
4. Cauliflower: Cauliflower is perfectly suited for the fall and winter weather as they can survive even the extreme winter and be ready in time for spring. 
5. Cabbage: Cabbage is another rewarding option for fall planting fanatics. Perfectly suitable for the wall and winter seasons.

It is also worth remembering that if you are in zones where these plants won’t grow over the winter, that doesn’t mean you can’t start planting in the fall! Carrots, garlic, beets, onions, and a whole host of other plants can be planted in the autumn and overwintered with mulch. Then in the spring, after the last frost, you can uncover the plants and they will be ready to sprout!

Galora

Galora is an excellent platform where you can find any sort of help that you could ever need related to gardening and planting. It was created as a medium for gardening fanatics and hobbyists to interact with each other and show off their plants. I recently came across Galora and found it to be extremely helpful and somewhat addicting because I am somebody who always wants to learn more about gardening and people’s different gardening experiences. Galora has helped me in reaching people beyond state boundaries and get the things I needed to start my seedlings for the year.”
