What to plant in Extremadura in September
September in Extremadura brings a welcome transition as intense summer heat begins to subside, with average temperatures settling at 21.3°C and rainfall increasing to 51.3mm. This shift initiates the autumn planting window, allowing gardeners to transition from summer maintenance to establishing cool-season crops. The combination of warm soil and increasing moisture provides excellent conditions for direct sowing and transplanting hardy vegetables before winter arrives.
