September Garden Chores
Garden Chores are a way of life. If you do just one a day you will find that your garden will benefit from it and you will reap what you sow!
- Plant broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage
- Plant lettuce and green in two week intervals for continued harvest.
- Feed tomatoes, peppers, eggplant one last time before frost.
- Clean out any old or diseased debris in the garden. Debris harbors insects and disease.
- Take cuttings from tender perennials.
- Continue to care for fruit trees by clipping any dead wood out.
- Work compost over to get it ready for fall application.
- Keep weeds under control. One crabgrass weed can produce 10,000 seeds in a season.
- Purchase new clippers and pruners or sharpen clippers to be ready for winter pruning (planning ahead keeps you from scrambling when its time to get the job done).
- Reseed lawns now to get a good root establishment for winter.
