Plant or transplant cool-weather crops such as beets, broccoli, cabbage, <a href=\"https:\/\/karlapatin.com\/index.php\/2023\/04\/18\/5-vegetables-that-are-best-direct-sowed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">carrots<\/a>, collards, lettuce, mustard, onions, radishes, spinach, and turnips.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Harvest <a href=\"https:\/\/karlapatin.com\/index.php\/2020\/04\/21\/starting-a-herb-garden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">herbs<\/a> and store in a cool, dry place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With new transplants, be sure to water deeply (not lightly) every morning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cut back and remove old flower stalks from your annuals. Refertilizer them to encourage one more color before the winter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Divide and replant perennials and bulbs that have become overcrowded or too large.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/karlapatin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/How_to_Divide_Perennials_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7970\" srcset=\"https:\/\/karlapatin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/How_to_Divide_Perennials_1.jpg 602w, https:\/\/karlapatin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/How_to_Divide_Perennials_1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/karlapatin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/How_to_Divide_Perennials_1-600x337.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clean out your vegetable garden once the plants have stopped producing. Remove any that were susceptible to disease and insects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add organic matter to all planting areas. Be sure there\u2019s an inch-thick layer of mulch on your garden beds to control weeds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start preparing your flower beds for the planting of cool-season annuals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No more pruning your shrubs or trees, unless it is necessary. Pruning may encourage new growth to occur, which might be damaged during the winter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continue to harvest peppers and tomatoes and start keeping an eye out for possible frost.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add leaves and organic material to your compost pile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now is a good time to plant woody ornamentals because they have time to establish themselves before the spring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This is the last month to plant any new perennials and biennials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Move your houseplants back indoors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Save Seed for planting next year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From harvesting tasty fruits and vegetables to preparing your garden for the cooler months, September is a rewarding month in the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September is generally a cooler month than August and the days are becoming shorter.
