Cottage Garden Plan

What to Plant in November


For much of the country November is cold and not generally thought of as part of the growing season. Don't be fooled by the weather, however. For the seriously avid gardener it is possible to still plant in November for early spring growth.

We have compiled this list of plants to be sown, transplated or otherwise added to your garden in November. Taken alongside the November gardening calendar and podcast we hope this helps to provide much of the information you need to be successful this month. As always we continue to create new Plant Pages and eventually will offer information on every plant we have in our monthly planting guides.
