September in the Garden

Spring is here — but is your garden ready?

September is one of the most exciting months in the garden. Seedlings are ready to move out, summer crops are getting started and suddenly there is SO much to do. But this is also the month to watch the weather, not just the calendar.

Our September magazine is packed with practical advice to help you get your garden ready for the season ahead.

Inside, we’re talking about what to plant across South Africa’s different growing regions, how to transplant and protect young seedlings, getting your trellises and supports up before summer growth takes over, and keeping an eye out for aphids.

We deep dive into growing peppers, plant flowers to bring beneficial insects and pollinators into the veggie garden, turn an old bathtub into a worm farm, get creative with spring container planting, prepare our gardens for El Niño and summer heat, tackle paving weeds and ants naturally, and give our indoor plants a spring refresh too.

This is your September garden to-do list, planting guide and little push to GET GROWING — all in one place.

The calendar says spring. The weather tells you when to plant. Let’s get ready for a beautiful growing season!
