Here are September gardening tips. We are lucky to live in an area where one can garden year-round!
- Harvest continuously for more production
- Pick herbs and lavender mid-morning for drying
- Pinch out side shoots on tomatoes, support branches
- Keep spent blossoms cut off to encourage bloom
- Hoe, cultivate and pull weeds
- Prepare beds for fall crops by adding organic matter
- Sow cover crops
- Mulch to suppress weeds and conserve water
- Keep compost piles damp, and turn often
Time to Plant:
SOW IN FLATS: broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collards, kale, lettuce.
SOW DIRECT: kale, lettuce, spinach, leeks, mustard, bunching onions, peas, chard, celery, turnips, carrots, beets, parsnip, radish, potatoes, bush beans, chives, parsley, cilantro, dill.
