What to Buy, Grow, and Eat in September
What to Buy, Grow, and Eat in September
September is my favorite month of the year. Not only it is my anniversary month, but it’s a wonderful time for fresh produce and bringing in the harvest. The temps are beginning to cool down and our brain begins to remember that winter is around the corner. It’s the best time of the year to work on canning and preserving and many deals on bulk foods can be found.
As with each month of the year, there are several things that you should be buying, eating, and even growing in the month of September. This post is another in our series that will take us through each month of the year so that you can “make the most of your month”. At the beginning of each month, I will post an article just like this one with a list of what you should be buying, growing, and eating during the following month to help you plan our your schedule and budget.
Some highlights of the September list are:
Buy –
- Grills and Outdoor Cooking Equipment
Grow –

- Spinach
- Peas
Eat –
- Potatoes
