Given September's average temperature of 29°C and minimal rainfall (0mm), consistent daily irrigation is crucial for all newly sown seeds and transplanted seedlings. Monitor soil moisture closely to prevent drying out. Prepare garden beds by enriching the soil with compost to improve fertility and water retention for the upcoming growing season. As temperatures begin to moderate towards October, continue to weed regularly to reduce competition for water and nutrients. Consider applying a light layer of mulch around established plants to help conserve soil moisture and regulate soil temperature.
