Even though it's getting chilly outside, September isn't the end of the gardening season. We'll tell you what's left to do.
Even if autumn begins at the end of September, there is still a lot to do in the garden. For example, radish or lamb's lettuce can still be sown now so that you can harvest them in the same year and have something fresh on your plate for the winter.
Vegetables in September
There are other vegetables that you can plant in September that will bear fruit next spring. Strawberries, parsley, leeks, spinach and winter onions can still be planted in the ground. The rhubarb can be divided and transplanted in September - if you want to propagate.
Flowers in September
In September you can plant evergreen shrubs, sow pansies or plant autumn crocuses and imperial crowns in the "flower department" of the garden. However, with the approach of autumn comes the time when you should dig up the first flower bulbs. To avoid damage, be particularly careful when doing this. Shorten the upper shoot of the tubers to 10 centimeters and shake off the soil slightly. After that, the onions must be placed in an airy space.
Pick up fruit
It is best to pick up the fruit that has fallen from the trees and is no longer used by you. In this way, pests are deprived of their food base and spread is contained.
