Gardening In September
10 Answers
September is the end of Summer and start of Autumn. During this time it's important to make preparations for the changing weather.
Some odd jobs you can do:
- Top up bird baths and feeders for migrating birds such as swallows and house martins.
- Clean out the water butt so it’s clean and clear when the heavens open.
- If you want to clear any garden debris, we would recommend using a lawn scarifier and aerator to remove any dead vegetation and moss.

Picking the last of some of the veg for freezing, planting cabbage in the raised bed, earthing up leeks, starting to pick apples for freezing in various forms -vacuum packed raw, sweet pie fillings and savoury applesauce. Lots of work and its too cold to sit out and enjoy the remaing show of autumn flowing plants. Hopefully we will have a nice warm spell in September.

i have a huge and annoying hydrangea that waves in my eyeline and constantly makes me think someone is at the front door. My husband likes it, i do not.
Every time i ask him about cutting it back he informs me it's not the right time of year. However i swear i have asked him in all seasons and the answer always seems to be "not the right time of year".
When IS the correct time?
