It's the ideal time of year to start something new in garden

September is a go-getter month in the garden, if you want it to be, or one can just potter about and enjoy some mellow time, but remember the work you put in now will bear fruit for years to come, says Fiann Ó Nualláin.

September is officially the end of summer, but some Septembers can be as good as June for boons on the edible front.

Main crop potatoes should be ready.
