September-October. Gardening Calendar

ΣΕΠΤΕΜΒΡΙΟΣ ΟΚΤΩΒΡΙΟΣ ΕΡΓΑΣΙΕΣ ΚΗΠΟΣ

September-October works in the garden. In September we prepare the garden for winter sowing. It is also the time when we drill the vines. In October we take care of the vegetables we have planted. The hot summer days have given way to clouds and early rains.
