While many of our gardens start winding down in September, southern areas of the United States are coming into prime gardening season. Even if you garden in the northern regions, there are still things you can plant this month to keep your vegetable garden producing well. Find out more about what to plant in September, and begin a fall garden.

Autumn is an ideal time to take advantage of the cooler weather.

Depending on where you live, some vegetables and herbs grow just as great in the fall as they do in the spring. Growing an autumn garden allows you to keep fresh produce on the table without having to tend to a garden in the hot, summer sun.

You will just want to know when the first frost is expected. Then you can plan your fall garden based on that information. To find out that date, determine the number of days to maturity per vegetable then count back the number of days from the first average frost date. Maturity information is typically on seed packets.

Most everything you plant in spring you can grow in your fall garden, too. These are cool season plants, meaning they will tolerate a light frost, thrive in short daylight hours and perform best with mild temperatures. Some vegetables even taste better when nipped by a light frost.
