What to sow in September?
We are entering the warm season. Spring is coming and we must plan the garden for the production of vegetables in the stage of greatest activity.
A few days before spring, there are many aspects to take into account. Starting first with the soil, we need a soil rich in nutrients, with a good fertilizer and to which we will add homemade compost.
However, we must not forget that the success of your garden depends on the attention and dedication when sowing and growing vegetables.
When choosing crops, it should be taken into account that there are still cold nights ahead, with possible late frosts. For this reason, it is still necessary to protect crops vulnerable to the cold, to avoid damage to their leaves and fruits.
But what can we sow in September?
