🍂 October Action Checklist
- Clear dead monsoon plants and top-dress all soil with compost — monsoon rains leach nutrients
- Sow tomato and capsicum seeds indoors in the first week of October for December transplanting
- Resume fertilizing after 3-month monsoon break — plants are hungry and immediately responsive
- Return succulents outdoors gradually as sunny days return from mid-October
- Repot any plant in the same soil 2+ years — best repotting time of the whole year
🍅 Start Vegetables NOW — October is the Window
Tomato, capsicum, chilli, brinjal in October = December–March harvests. Do it now.
🌸 Sow Flowers for the Coming Winter
Marigold, petunia, verbena — sow October, plant November, blooming December. Perfect timing.
🌿 Establish Herbs Now
Planted in October, established by November, heavy harvesting from December. Ideal window.
No plants to avoid. October–November suits starting almost everything on this site.
