SEPTEMBER PLANTING LIST

Although this month is usually hot and dry in the garden, it’s time to begin planting fall and winter crops. Wait until the middle of the month to put in heat-sensitive plants. Regular watering is critical while the weather is warm. New seedlings and transplants may need watering twice a day.
