September planting depends on your first frost date, but many gardens get a second, gentler growing season.

Know your window

Count backward from your expected first frost and compare it with the days to maturity on each seed packet.

Grow what fits the life you want to live—not simply what fits the space.

Favor cool-season crops

Leafy greens, radishes, cilantro, parsley, and hardy annual flowers often appreciate falling temperatures.
