Gardening In August: Everything At A Glance!<\/a><\/p>\nCare for peppers and tomatoes:<\/strong> Tomatoes ( Solanum Lycopersicum<\/em> ) and peppers ( Capsicum<\/em> ) still produce new flowers in September. However, these should be removed regularly. In this way, the already existing fruits ripen better and can be harvested before the onset of winter.<\/p>\nMaintaining the lawn:<\/strong> Summer is often particularly stressful for the lawn – so the lawn needs an extra dose of care in autumn. With an autumn lawn fertilizer, you can not only strengthen the lawn but also prepare it perfectly for the coming winter.<\/p>\nFertilize roses:<\/strong> So that roses ( pink<\/em> ) survive the winter well, they should be given another low-chloride potassium fertilizer, in September. Among other things, this promotes the lignification of the shoots and thus ensures better frost resistance.<\/p>\nHarvesting seeds for the next year:<\/strong> The seeds of the runner bean (Phaseolus vulgaris<\/em> ) can be collected and dried in September. Late September, when the pod loses its green color and becomes dry, is the perfect time to collect the beans for seed production. The seeds of annual plants such as sunflowers, marigolds, begonias, and Co. can also be obtained in September as seeds for the next year.<\/p>\n![\"In](\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/In-September-you-can-win-Tagetes-seeds-for-the-next-year.jpg\")

Dividing perennials:<\/strong> If you want to multiply your perennials or if a perennial in the bed has grown too big, you can divide it in September. To do this, the root ball is loosened from the earth and then divided with a spade. Then the perennials can be replanted in their new place.<\/p>\nPruning perennials:<\/strong> Some perennials, for example, the maiden’s eye ( Coreopsis<\/em> ) or the cockade flower (Gaillardia<\/em> ), are so exhausted during flowering that pruning is inevitable if you want to enjoy them next year. A strong pruning close to the ground at the end of September, on the other hand, helps the plants to bloom in full beauty also in the next year.<\/p>\n![\"Hedgehogs](\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hedgehogs-will-enjoy-a-shelter-in-autumn.jpg\")

Build winter quarters for hedgehogs:<\/strong> Hedgehogs are welcome to garden dwellers. If you want to support the hedgehogs in autumn with your garden, you can provide suitable winter quarters for the cute animals in September. A pile of dry leaves in a quiet corner is just as suitable for this as a special hedgehog house.<\/p>\nThe golden October brings wonderful days every year to spend time in your own garden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
