Zone 13b Planting Schedule

Action Plan: October in Zone 13b

Expert Note

In Zone 13b during October, keep soil evenly moist but well-drained and avoid waterlogging. Watch for thrips and aphids on tender growth; use reflective mulch or insecticidal soap early. Plant when temperatures start to cool to reduce bolting risk.

Seed & Soil

For October, transplant Chesnok Red promptly so it can establish roots in cooling soil. Keep the bed lightly moist and weed-free to support uniform growth.
