Your September Garden Checklist🌱

Plant Cool-Season Crops – Lettuce, spinach, kale, broccoli, carrots, and radishes thrive in cooler temps.

Start Garlic & Onion Prep – Prep beds for planting garlic and onions next month.

Refresh Soil – Add compost or organic matter to boost fall crop growth.

Pull Spent Summer Plants – Remove old crops to prevent disease and make room for fall plantings.

Mulch Beds – Protect soil moisture and suppress weeds as temps cool.

Sow Cover Crops – Rye, clover, or mustard to protect and enrich soil over winter.

Inspect for Pests – Cool weather doesn’t stop aphids, cabbage worms, or grasshoppers.

Clean & Store Tools – Wipe down, sharpen, and oil for winter storage.

Start Fall Flowers – Plant calendula, snapdragons, or marigolds.
