My Favorite Fall Plant Ideas in One Seed Collection

Fall gardening is the absolute best, and I'm so excited to tell you we've created an entire line of seeds to plant in your fall garden based on my top plants to grow this gardening season.

Our fall collection is almost ready to ship out and grow inside your garden. Let's look at the wonderful seeds included in our collection and when you can plant them.

What to Plant as Soon as Your Average Daily Temperatures Fall Below 85°F

"Fall weather" can mean different things depending on where you live. For those of you in warmer climates, you'll need to wait until your temps dip below burning hot to plant many of the plants we typically associate with fall gardening.

Fortunately, our fall seed collection includes plants you can go ahead and grow as soon as your temps drop below 85°F. Those seeds include:

• Broad-leaved sage
• Arugula Continue sowing seeds until temps rise above
• Mizuna
• Mizuna red streaks
• Red giant mustard
• Jewel mix nasturtiums
• Tokyo long white bunching onions

You can continue sowing seeds for leafy greens like arugula and mizuna all the way until you're about 6 to 8 weeks out from your first frost date. Your salad bowls are about to get a lot more exciting!

What to Plant Once Your Average Daily Temperatures Fall Below 80°F

You can start to plant some of these cool season plants as soon as your temps beginning dropping below 80°F, but you might want to cover your garden with shade cloth until sweater weather actually arrives.

Here are the seeds you can plant when you're moving into cool weather for a fall harvest:

• Bloomsdale song standing spinach
• Moss curled parsley
• Flat leaf parsley
• Slow bolt cilantro
• Bouquet dill
• Gourmet mix lettuce
• Black Seeded Simpson lettuce
• Red salad bowl lettuce
• Butterhead lettuce
• Romaine lettuce
• Lollo Rosso lettuce
• Chinese Cabbage

You can continue sowing seeds for fast-growing annuals like cilantro, lettuce, and spinach until you're about 4 weeks away from your anticipated first frost.

What to Plant When You're a Couple Months out from Your First Frost

You can start kale seeds indoors 12 to 14 weeks before the first frost in fall. Kale plants are frost-tolerant, so you don't need to worry about having these plants in your garden on chilly fall nights.

Our fall seed collection contains not one, but three types of kale, including:

• Dwarf blue curled scotch kale
• Lacinato kale
• Dwarf Siberian kale

When you're 10 to 12 weeks from your first frost, you can start sowing carrot seeds in your garden beds. You can continue planting carrots even closer to your frost date because carrots are frost-hardy. Your harvest will actually taste even better after a light freeze.

Our fall seed collection includes scarlet Nantes carrots, one of my favorite varieties.

What to Plant in Fall 6 to 8 Weeks Before Your First Frost

As you move closer to your first frost date, you enter prime root growing time. Our fall seed collection includes the following roots, in addition to carrots:

• Early wonder beets
• Detroit dark red beets
• Confetti mix radishes
• China rose radishes

Again, these plants can take the cold, so you don't need to worry about them as you get closer and closer to wintry weather.

If you live in a mild climate, you can also plant our Tokyo long white bunching onions now for a spring harvest.

Get ready for a super fun fall harvest when it's time to pull up your roots!
