SEPTEMBER is a “crucial month in gardening because it marks the transition from summer to fall”, so ahead of the “temperature turning colder”, here are a few gardening tasks to complete over the next few weeks to ensure your plants survive winter.
Fantastic Gardeners’ gardening expert Petar Ivanov explained how the “texture of your garden” will start to change, in addition, “the chances of rain and strong winds also increase, specifically towards the end of the month”.
Petar said: “Because of that, there are several very important gardening tasks to consider doing during this time of the year to make sure your garden remains healthy and vibrant, whether it’s a flower or edible one.”
Looking at the month in view, the expert added: “This is typically when gardeners should start preparing their space for fall and winter, which usually means they should make sure their plants are protected or, if they have a greenhouse, make sure its structure is sturdy and able to stand against harsh weather conditions.
“Besides that, feeding the soil to replenish it with nutrients is also very important because they have been used up by the plants during the summer and spring seasons.
