There are all kinds of plants you can still plant before winter. There is a big difference in the the time you have left depending on where you live in Michigan. If you live in the southernmost part of the state, you can still enjoy newly planted summer bedding plants for a couple of months. If you live in the upper peninsula, time is running out. Best advice, since you didn't give a general location, is to go to your local library and check out some gardening books for ideas as to what and when you can plant in your area.
Good luck with your gardening.

perennials, they will look good now and come back next year. easy ones to grow here in MI are iris, black eyed susans, daisys, coneflowers and sedum for sunny spots. Hostas and astilbe for shady places. it is a good time to buy these because most nurseries are having sales.
also in October it will be time to plant your spring bulbs. Tulips, daffodils and crocus. I have found a great supplier for those.
