Autumn is closely associated with final work among summer residents.

Remove the beds, dig up, insulate. It seems that sowing is only a spring topic, but this is not so.

You can also sow before winter. There are at least three annuals that can be sown in the fall, and they will pleasantly surprise you next year.

There is only one rule here. Wait for persistent cold weather. November is the ideal time for this.

A flower called agrostemma or cockle is sown before winter. It has small purple flowers on thin stems, collected in bunches.

It is better to throw 3-4 seeds into a hole, since germination may be lower than in the spring.

Another option is Iberis. It grows well everywhere, but not next to cruciferous crops, so it should be placed further away from the place where the cabbage will be.

The third option is kochia. An unpretentious plant that takes root even on rocky soil.

Kochia can be sown when the first frost has gripped the ground. The seeds are laid out in furrows and covered with soil.
