The sowings and transplants of the month of September
After seeing the moon of September 2022, let’s take a look at the sowing and transplanting of this period. There preparation of the autumn garden, of course, it is coming to a head. So we will sow and transplant our vegetables that will bear fruit in the autumn period.
In the open field with the crescent moon of September
Following the rhythms of the September moon, in the open field, in the phases of the waxing moon at the beginning and end of the month, the seedbeds prepared in the month of august. At this point, in fact, the seedlings will be ready for transplanting.
In particular, this is the time for transplantation for: black broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, black cabbage, cabbageRoman cabbage, Brussels sprouts.
Of course, you can also opt for the purchase of seedlings ready for transplanting, from a trusted nurseryman who produces organically.
Also if you have followed our advice on the cultivation of turnips with sowing in seedbeds, in September you will have your turnip greens seedlings ready for transplanting.
If, on the other hand, you have not prepared the seedbed, September is the right time for broadcasting of the turnip greens. The foresight is to make a gradual sowing with varieties at 40-60-90 days.

Work in the garden to be done in September
If the moon of September 2022 suggests the days in which to sow and plant, in the other free moments it is possible to take care of the garden work. In fact, in September, the cultivation cycles of summer vegetables have now come to an end. It is therefore necessary to carry out the last harvests, make the preserves and proceed with the cleaning of the crops to make room for the autumn vegetable garden.
We recommend particular attention to the conservation of technical production materials (hosesnets, poles, nylon threads for binding, mulch sheets, etc.). The advice is to store this material away from the bad weather they will encounter in the winter months. Frost, as we know, ruins the materials and makes them unusable for future crops, and we are well aware of the high costs that some of these materials sometimes have.
The spontaneous collections in September
In September, the ideal is to dedicate yourself to the harvest of some particular seasonal fruits. In addition to the classics porcini mushrooms, in fact, there are many plants that grow spontaneously. Some of this can also be cultivated.
The prickly pear
We are referring, for example, to fruits such as the prickly pear, which in the southern regions has spontaneous growth in the sunny countryside.
As we have explained to you in the dedicated post on prickly pear at the right temperatures it can also be grown in your own vegetable garden or garden.
Oregano
Another spontaneous plant to be harvested in this period is certainly theOrigan, both spontaneous and cultivated. This plant lends itself to various uses, both in the kitchen and for its own medicinal properties.
Blackberries, blackthorn and elderberry
Finally, other collections that we advise you not to miss are those of blackberriesof the elder he was born in blackthorn. All fruits in full ripeness on the edge of our countryside.
With the freshly picked fruits, in addition to consuming them as they are, you can prepare delicious jams.
The month of September and the ripening of the grapes
Let’s go back to the moon of September 2022 with the attention paid to the vineyard.
In the period of the waning moon of September, or in the central days of the month, a particular look goes to the ripening of the grapes. Precisely in this season, in fact, the grape biological cycle comes to an end.
In the final ripening period, it is therefore necessary to pay maximum attention to protect our precious grapes. In particular, it is necessary to be careful of birds and other wild animals, such as wild boars and foxes, which go crazy for ripe grapes. Here we explain the techniques for keep the birds away.
Also watch out for attacks by downy mildew And powdery mildewvery frequent in this period.
Since we are close to the collection, yes does not recommend the use of copper. For an emergency defense, the use of the sodium bicarbonate.
The biological defense against parasites
September is a very critical month for pest attacks that are harmful to crops, in particular the Asian bedbugs. As happened in past seasons, orchards are at great risk for the attack of these tough parasites. Despite the experiments on insects predators of the Asian bedbug, also this year it will be necessary to proceed to defend our trees and in particular the fruits near the harvest. A very effective and economical system in a family orchard is the use of insect nets to be applied to each single tree (le found here).
