- Plant from seed lettuce, radishes and other cool weather greens
- Sow Overwintering vegetables. This will gives you a head start next spring providing the earliest possible harvest. Carrot (Overwintering type only like Merida otherwise they will bolt come spring), Fava beans, Spinach (e.g. Giant Winter), Lettuce (Winter Marvel) and snow peas.
- Harvest Brussels sprouts, collard greens, kale, peppers, pumpkins and winter squash (cut off and leave stem otherwise rot will get into top), Squash, tomato, celery (blanch stalks with boards) and potatoes that will be eaten now and not stored.
- Pick Apples as they turn color (turn of the wrist should remove the fruit easily), Asian pears as apples but European pears are picked firm and ripened indoors in a dark spot. Pick figs as they soften and turn downards and grapes as they sweeten.
- Move strawberry runners so new plantlets are in appropriate space or pin into a pot and grow in container until it can be transplanted in a new location.
- Order or buy garlic for planting this and next month.
- Root woody herbs to grow on a windowsill like rosemary or and sage.
