What To Do In The Garden – September

What To Do In  The Garden – September

Summer is almost over, so enjoy your garden while you still can, it’s so beautiful this time of year. The weather will be getting cooler really soon, perfect for working in the garden. That’s good because some important tasks need to be done before fall. Here are a few pictures of what my flowers look like now, followed by a complete list of things that need to be done in the garden in September.

    Great list, as were the previous lists. A bit sad to see summer slipping away, but your list will have our gardens ready for the next growing season!

    I had to check out your past monthly posts for the tips and mostly for looking at images of your wonderful garden. I love the variety of flowers you have growing! Your photos are so vibrant! Your list of things to be done each month is also helpful. Especially for gardening novices like myself!

    • Caroline Barnes says

      September 8, 2014 at 5:18 pm

    Wow…I had no idea there was so much to do. Could explain why my plants/flowers don’t look as good each year. LOVE the photos of flowers…do you grow all of them? So pretty!

    • Caroline Barnes says

      September 10, 2014 at 4:31 pm

      Yes I do grow all of them and it is a lot of work, but I find it relaxing somehow.
