This month

September - Zones 5-6

Watch late spring and early fall frost dates; many classic temperate garden schedules fit this range.

  • Bring houseplants and tropicals indoors before cold nights arrive.
  • Plant fall crops and cool-season annuals where your climate allows.
  • Divide spring-blooming perennials after heat breaks.

Look up your USDA hardiness zone
