Summer is gone and September is upon us.
You think you missed your chance to start your garden and will start it next year…
…That’s just a lame excuse though.
You’ve made dozens of excuses why you can’t start. I’m sick of them and you should be too.
It’s not too late to start your garden!
That’s true for most of you in the United States.
Yes, your options are limited, but you can still start something.
It’s all about getting over the excuses and starting. You’ve made enough excuses that have kept you from starting.
Now is the perfect time to begin.
What can you grow?
Here is a list of veggies you can plant this month:
- Beet
- Broccoli
- Cabbage
- Carrot
- Cauliflower
- Cilantro
- Collard Greens
- Dill

- Kale

- Spinach
- Swiss Chard
- Turnip

Don’t forget! Spinach is one variety that can be planted all over the country … so channel that inner-Popeye of yours, get over your excuses for not starting, and get that spinach planted!
Planted some kale today. Planted lettuce and chauliflower last week. Filled up two half barrels with soil and I am going to put windows over them and make a kind of cold frame. My garden sucked this summer but that doesn’t mean it will this winter 🙂
I like that Seeds Now has sample sizes. My spring/summer garden didn’t do well either this year. I planted broccoli, lettuce, spinach, carrots, beets, turnips and radishes in August and they’re all coming along nicely. I will start cabbage seeds today.
good to know i got spinach seeds from walgreens for .30 cents.
Great post. We got all our seeds from SeedsNow last season. Couldn’t be happier. Just placed another order for Fall seeds. Thanks for your list of recommendations. 🙂
Just
Nice article, and a very comprehensive list of fall vegetables.
Another option is to use succession planting of the vegetables you’ve grown during the summer. For more info, see my article about fall vegetable gardening: http://themysteriousgardener.com/?p=255
your article is great! We’re big fans!
Hey, are you going to be at the bloggers conference in Atlanta? Would love to touch bases!
This is so helpful! It is always nice to know when plants should be planted and when they are expected to produce! I love eating fruits and veggies from my own backyard!
My excuse is that I live in Northern Canada and nothing grows past Sept!
I was looking for some urban gardening info and got a face full of being called lame and accused of making excuses. You may want to try a more friendly approach next time you post a blog!
