- Leafy Greens: Varieties like lettuce, kale, spinach, and Swiss chard thrive in cooler temperatures. They can be planted as seeds or transplants, and their fast growth allows for a relatively quick harvest.
- Root Vegetables: Carrots, beets, turnips, and radishes are excellent choices for fall planting. Their roots develop well in the cooler weather, producing crisp and flavorful harvests.

- Herbs: Herbs like parsley, cilantro, dill, and chives can be sown in the fall. They are versatile additions to both culinary dishes and garden aesthetics.
- Flowers: Texas fall gardens can be beautified with colorful blooms such as marigolds, pansies, petunias, and snapdragons. These annual flowers bring vibrant hues and enhance your garden’s visual appeal.
