🍂🌱 September Garden Tips
Fall may be around the corner, but Northern California gardens aren’t finished with summer just yet! ☀️
🌱 Start cool-season vegetables like lettuce, spinach, radishes, peas, carrots and broccoli.
💧 Keep watering wisely. September can still be hot and dry, so check the soil and water deeply when needed.
🌸 Keep flowers blooming by deadheading spent blooms.
🍅 Keep harvesting! Tomatoes, peppers, squash and other summer favorites may keep producing while the warm weather lasts.
🌳 Branch out! Fall is a great time to plant many trees, shrubs and California natives, giving roots time to establish before next summer.
🍂 Leave a little habitat. Seed heads, stems and some leaf litter provide food and shelter for birds and beneficial insects.
🌱 Most importantly, observe your garden. September weather varies from year to year, so let your plants and soil tell you what they need.
Happy September gardening! 🌻🐝🦋
