What vegetables are suitable for planting in September in the south?

The temperature in the south starts to get cooler in September. Because of the large temperature difference between day and night, the temperature, light, environment, etc. at this time are most suitable for vegetable germination and growth.

Vegetables suitable for planting in the south in September include peppers, green peppers, colored peppers, onions, cauliflower, sugar beans, peas, celery, lettuce, shepherd's purse, rapeseed, spinach, toon, spring bamboo shoots, and amaranth.

1. Autumn lettuce

Autumn lettuce is a vegetable that many people like to eat. It has high nutritional value and can be eaten cold or stir-fried. Because lettuce needs a cool environment to grow, it is generally planted in September in the south, while it can be sown in late July in the cold northern regions.

2. Celery

Celery likes coolness and is not heat-resistant, so the celery planted in autumn has the best taste and the highest yield, which is just suitable for the temperature in the south in September. However, the temperature is still very high at this time, affecting the germination rate. The seeds need to be soaked in water for a day and placed in the refrigerator. Take them out and wash them with water every day. Generally, after about 3 days, one-third of the seeds will germinate and can be sown.

3. Coriander

Coriander prefers a cool environment and grows slowly when the temperature is above 25 degrees. The autumn environment is most suitable for coriander growth, with fewer diseases and pests, vigorous growth and good quality. Because coriander has a short growing period, the best sowing time is generally in September.

4. Autumn Spinach

Spinach planted in autumn has broad and thick leaves and tastes good. The temperature and light in September are most suitable for spinach growth. Sowing should not be too early, as it is easy to sprout and bloom. If the temperature exceeds 25 degrees, the leaves will curl, dry up and grow poorly.

5. Autumn lettuce

The best time to plant lettuce in autumn is from August to October from north to south, and the growth temperature is 15 to 22 degrees. Above 25 degrees, the leaves become coarse and hard, the taste is poor, and they have a bitter taste, and they are easier to plant.
