What to plant in North Texas this fall
Fall is the best-kept secret of Texas gardening. Here's what to get in the ground now.
Most people think of spring as planting season, but in North Texas fall is often the easier, more productive one. The heat is breaking, the bugs slow down, and cool-season crops love it here.
Plant now
- Leafy greens: lettuce, spinach, kale, chard and arugula
- Roots: carrots, radishes, beets and turnips
- Brassicas: broccoli and cabbage transplants
- Herbs: cilantro, parsley and dill
Keep an eye on frost
Our first frost usually comes around mid-November. Most cool-season crops shrug off a light frost, but keep a frost cloth handy for the occasional hard freeze.
