The September Shift: Transitioning from Summer to Fall Growing
September reality: Summer crops heavy with harvest while fall demands planting NOW!
Your garden is juggling: ✓ Finishing tomatoes & peppers ✓ Exhausted soil needing renewal
✓ Fall crops wanting their spot
The solution? ZONE MANAGEMENT 🎯
Treat each area differently: 🌱 Active zones: Side-dress without disturbing 🌱 Transition zones: Amend harvested spots 🌱 Future zones: Cover crop or sheet mulch
September secrets:
- Cool mornings (55°F) + warm afternoons (85°F) = perfect for both seasons
- Interplant fall starts between summer crops
- Heavy mulch moderates wild temperature swings
Don't wait - September is California's second spring!
