Don’t miss out by thinking the summer is over and so is all that beautiful produce you have been growing. September is a great month to plant for a November or later harvest.
You can turn a 4×4 bed into a pumpkin patch; just start them indoors first. This will allow your summer crops to stay where they are. Start your broccoli, cauliflower or cabbage indoors as well. In a few weeks, you can sow your spinach and lettuces directly in the ground.
Done with squash? If so, pull the squash and plant a fall crop or an overwinter crop, especially if you’re closing it in with cloaks. That goes for any summer plants. Anything that gets disease, or is just spent, pull and compost. Plant greens of all kinds, because they love the cool weather. If you are all done with producing veggies, you could also just plant cover crop seed to help build a better organic soil.
