It's officially the busiest harvesting season and there are plenty of homegrown goods to collect from your fruit and vegetable patch this month. It's the perfect opportunity to gather some ingredients for cozy fall meals, all of which will taste a hundred times better than store-bought goods.
These crops to harvest in October should be at the top of your fall gardening checklist, as you don't want to leave it too long. They could become overripe, rot, and won't taste as pleasant otherwise. At the same time, harvesting too soon can also affect the flavor. But, October is the sweet spot for many popular crops, including plenty of root vegetables, leafy greens, and even some fruit.
