Tasks
Monthly tasks
Monitor soil moisture closely, as September's high rainfall (206.1mm) may reduce the need for supplemental watering, but ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging. Continue weeding to reduce competition for nutrients and moisture. Begin preparing beds for winter crops by amending soil with compost. Watch for late-season pests and diseases, and address them promptly. Support taller plants if needed due to potential autumn winds.
