Gardening Jobs for September

And today you'll be relieved to know that we're talking about September, which I actually think is one of the most underrated months in the gardening year.

Definitely.

I think because I think September actually gets treated as though gardening is basically over, you know?

Yeah, 100%.

Like August finishes, kids go back to school.

Normally the weather goes really good as soon as the kids go back, isn't it?

Yeah.

But having said that, actually, the evenings suddenly start disappearing.

We don't notice it, but it's getting dark now, isn't it? And I think mentally, everyone packs the garden away.

even though actually September can be absolutely beautiful, as we have talked about many, many times.

Honestly, it's such a beautiful month.

But it can also be incredibly productive.

It's not just about being beautiful.

The soil's still warm.

There's usually more moisture around, definitely at the minute, which is quite good after the dry summer.

Yeah, I'm fine with that.

But the weeds start slowing down and there are loads of things that you can plant, sow, harvest and prepare.

And it's also the month where you start seeing the garden a little bit differently.

And we touched on this a few weeks ago, I think.

100%.

The perception shift is real.

And September is almost the beginning of the next gardening year rather than the end of this one.

And that's what we're going to talk about today because there are some jobs, in fact, there's a lot of jobs that you can do that will make a surprisingly big difference during next spring.

Plus some jobs that you absolutely don't need to do.

Which might even be more important.
