Tasks
Monthly tasks
In September, focus on weeding diligently as increased moisture can encourage weed growth. Apply organic mulch to help retain soil moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Monitor for early signs of pests and diseases, which can become more prevalent with changing weather patterns. Begin preparing garden beds for winter, adding compost and other soil amendments. Harvest summer crops that are still producing, and clear spent plants to prevent disease carryover.
