September Planting Strategies

Ready to optimize your September garden in San Diego's unpredictable climate? At City Farmers, we know August's heat often lingers, making all of September a waiting game for planting. But don't worry, we've got a strategy! Focus on planning. We encourage folks to direct their early fall energy to planning well. If you're interested in organizing your seed collection, we will direct you to focus on seeds labeled "all season," "early harvest," or "long harvest." Those will be the first that can go in the ground when the warmer temperatures give way. Think all-season broccoli, early cabbage, and fall rapini broccoli. These resilient varieties can withstand unexpected heat spells while getting a head start on your fall garden.
