September Sweet Spot: Plant, Harvest, and Savor the Season

September has arrived, and while the days are still warm, fall planting season is starting to slip away. Right now is the time to get your fall and winter garden growing. With cooler evenings, softer sunlight, and soil still warm from summer, seedlings thrive and set you up for a delicious harvest in the weeks ahead.

But don’t wait too long, because with daylight slowly slipping away by mid-September, it’s almost too late to plant. The sooner you tuck in your seedlings (except garlic, which comes later), the more you’ll harvest when chilly days arrive.

Fall & Winter Seedlings for Your Garden

Our online shop and market booth are brimming with organically grown seedlings ready to be tucked into your garden beds. Some of our favorites for fall/ winter planting include:

  • Broccoli – crisp and hearty, perfect for roasting or salads
  • Cabbage – ideal for slaws, soups, or fermenting into sauerkraut
  • Leeks – mild, sweet, and great for soups and sautés
  • Mustard Greens – a zingy green that’s both beautiful and nutritious

Plant now and you’ll be enjoying fresh, cool-weather crops well into the colder months. ✨ Skip the Saturday rush, reserve your seedlings in our online shop to make sure you get exactly what you want before they sell out.

Why September Feels So Good

The farmers’ market in early September is one of our favorite times of year. Tables are bursting with late-summer harvests, seedlings promise the taste of months to come, and the air is just beginning to hint at fall. It’s the sweet spot where planting, harvesting, and savoring all meet.
