September is a turning point in the gardening calendar, a month in which we’re preparing our plants - as we are ourselves - for the colder months.

Sarah and Josie join forces this week to share the key jobs you should prioritise at this point in the year - from focusing on your edibles to deadheading your dahlias. September is also the time to plant out your biennials before the cold sets in, start forcing bulbs, and take cuttings of your tender perennials.
