Lunar calendar of the gardener and vegetable grower for September 2024

September is a generous month for harvest, during this period the owners do not need to think about how best to plant seeds or seedlings, because their main task will be to collect vegetables and fruits that ripen in the late period. When the crop is collected, it should be cleaned and placed in a cold place so that it is better stored. From plants that have matured, you can collect seeds for sowing next year. 

During this period, it is worth pruning berry bushes such as raspberries, currants, gooseberries, and also planting winter garlic, onions for greens and some types of salad that will be ready in the spring. If early frosts are expected, do not forget to cover sensitive plants with agrofibre or film. What and when is best to do will tell the lunar calendar of the gardener and vegetable grower.

This calendar will help you plan a trip to your plot of land, a trip to the country, or choose a day for cultivating the land, applying fertilizers and preparing black soil for autumn-winter dormancy.
