September, the time of the harvest moon. We’re four days into meteorological autumn. Less than three weeks from the equinox. We’ll likely lose two hours of daylight by the end of the month. The hope is for an Indian summer.
It’s time to harvest your more tender crops: the Florence fennels, tomatoes, beans, corn. Lift onions, leeks and maincrop potatoes. Cut and ripen winter squash, perhaps a pumpkin for Halloween – cured in the sun.
