November may be a slow time for sowing and planting in a vegetable garden, but that does not mean there are not some fantastic crops to get in the ground this month. Taking time to plant in November will mean earlier harvests next year, as the crops can bed down roots before winter arrives.
While the month is often more focused on tidying the plot and harvesting the hardy winter crops, it is also a great time to get ahead. There is a great selection of vegetables to plant in November that can get established early, including many legumes, alliums, and salads. The crops can overwinter outdoors in the vegetable garden and burst into life again in spring.
