September in the Garden

Plant seeds (peas, carrots, beets, lettuce, cucurbits, herbs) and fall transplants (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale).

Begin to plant lilies and Spring-blooming bulbs--daffodils and tulips.

Feed fuchsias, ferns, tropicals, roses.

Clean up faded flowers. Start cleanup for perennials.

Continue to harvest Valencia oranges.
   
Prune poinsettias for holiday bloom.
   
Plant okra. It’s your last chance of the season.


Add soil amendments (bone meal, blood meal, compost).
