Introduction
September is a month of change in the garden. Vēl ir daudz ko novākt un baudīt, while the first signs of autumn make it a good time to start preparing gardens and allotments for the cooler months ahead.
Harvest
Enjoy the September harvest
For many growers, September is one of the most rewarding months of the year. Apples and pears are coming into season, autumn raspberries can be picked and many vegetable plots are still producing plenty of food.
Potatoes can also be lifted and stored, while squash and pumpkins continue to develop. Keep an eye on fruit and vegetables as they ripen and harvest regularly so good produce does not go to waste.
Keep growing
There is still time to grow
September does not mean the end of the growing season. Ziemas salāti, spināti, raķešu un citas salātu lapas joprojām var sēt vēsāka laika kultūrām. Tas ir arī noderīgs laiks, lai iestādītu ziemojošus sīpolu komplektus un sāktu stādīt pavasarī ziedošus sīpolus.
Augsne
Sagatavojies ziemai
Kad beidzas vasaras ražas, vajadzības gadījumā pievienojiet kompostu vai labi sapuvušas organiskās vielas. Zaļimēsli var arī palīdzēt noklāt tukšu zemi, aizsargāt augsni un saglabāt barības vielas aukstākos mēnešos.
Laistiet gudri
Izmantojiet rudens lietus iespējas
Newly planted plants and containers may still need watering during dry spells. September is also a useful time to install or check a water butt so you are ready to collect autumn rainfall and reduce reliance on mains water.
