What to plant in Cauca Department in September
September in the Cauca Department of Colombia is characterized by moderate temperatures and the transition toward the second wet season of the year. The consistent tropical highland climate (t_min > 5°C, t_avg >= 12°C) allows for full sowing of both cool-season and warm-season crops. Gardeners can take advantage of the increasing moisture to establish diverse vegetable crops directly in the ground or via seedbeds.
