what can i plant now in october beside garlic?

I just moved here from Calgary and i have rototilled a garden, put up the deer fencing and now i would like to plant something. Unfortunatly it took me a month to do the setup stuff, and it looks like the temperature is dropping. I have some kale, endive, pepper plants (about 2.5 ft tall) , some peas, garlic, mustard, corn salad, swiss chard and maybe a couple other things i forgot. They have been very patiently waiting to be planted, but i need to know if its too late now. I built some cold frames and am hoping that this will help. Any advice? BTW most of the plant are about 6 inches tall other than the garlic (just have the cloves) and the pepper plants

 

Rootcrops: chives, bunching onions, radishes
Leafcrops: Broccoli, cover crops, leaf lettuce, mustard, spinach, lawn seed

 

ok, got it......what do you think about those pepper plants I've got going in the ground now?

 

Are you talking red pepper plants?
Those are summer plants - they need the heat to mature.

 

It will be far too cold to continue with the pepper plants outdoors. (Cold frame will still not do.)

If they are small variety/long season like Thai chiles, they can be taken indoors and will thrive - of course, keep them above 21C and make sure they get 16+ hours of light each day. (Keeping them under flourescent light works well.)

You can try rhubarb in your frame. Chives too.

 

whenever i try bell peppers inside they get covered with aphids. i always try to squish all the aphids but they multiply too quickly for me. i guess i should add that i won't use pesticides... so be careful of aphids if you plant peppers indoors!

 

Shallots.

 

Parsley, mint, thyme, rosemary, sage, bay laurel, onions, leeks....forget the capsicums, too cold and no insolation(solar heating/energy)....
