October is a good time to clear spent summer crops and prepare beds for winter. Incorporate compost and organic matter to enrich the soil. Protect tender crops from early frosts, especially towards the end of the month, as temperatures begin to decline. Ensure good drainage in beds due to increased rainfall. Consider planting cover crops in empty areas to improve soil health and prevent erosion.
