Your garden in September

Autumn may be on its way, but there is still plenty to do in your garden this month. There is still time to sow a range of vegetables to harvest in the spring, such as spinach, turnips and lettuces. If the weather in your area is still dry, it's a good idea to keep watering plants, even if they're dying back, as this will help to keep them healthy. And finally, pruning, tying in, dead-heading and clearing away leaves are the boring, but important jobs and doing them now will save you time next year!
