Gardening Tips for May 2025 in Arizona

Here are some gardening tips for September in Arizona:

Plant cool-season vegetables. September is a great time to plant cool-season vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, carrots, lettuce, and spinach. These vegetables can tolerate the cooler temperatures in September and will be ready to harvest in the fall.
Start seeds indoors for fall crops. If you want to grow tomatoes, peppers, or other warm-season crops in the fall, start the seeds indoors in September. This will give the seedlings time to grow before the cooler temperatures arrive.
Water your plants regularly. The weather in September can be unpredictable, so it is important to water your plants regularly. Be sure to check the soil moisture before watering and water deeply when you do water.
Fertilize your plants. Fertilizing your plants in September will help them to produce a good harvest in the fall. Use a balanced fertilizer and follow the directions on the label.
Protect your plants from pests and diseases. The cooler temperatures in September can create ideal conditions for pests and diseases. Be sure to inspect your plants regularly and take steps to control any problems that you find.
Start planning for winter gardening. September is a good time to start planning for winter gardening. This will give you time to prepare your soil and choose the right plants for your climate.

Here are some specific plants that you can grow in September in Arizona:

Cool-season vegetables: Broccoli, cabbage, carrots, lettuce, spinach, peas, radishes, turnips
Warm-season vegetables: Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, summer squash, zucchini
Herbs: Basil, cilantro, oregano, rosemary, thyme

“My wife and I have been shopping at the A&P nursery on Baseline and Lindsay for over 15 years and we have always had exceptional service. They staff is always willing and able to help us out – with educating us on what plants/trees would work best in various situations as well as always willing to assist us with loading. There are several options closer to my home but I will always continue to support the local business. Highly recommend this place!”

“A&P Nursery in Gilbert has been my family’s go to place for years so when I bought my home there was no question on where I’d go. They have a great selection of plants and flowers. And, most importantly for me, a very friendly and knowledgable staff. They’ve all gone above and beyond to help me on many occasions, especially Luke. They are all locals and understand our growing climate. And if you are really lucky, you’ll get to see the cat.”

CANDICE C.

“All around a great experience! Very happy with our plants (we ordered north of 70+ plants) and the pricing was the best out of 5 nurseries we went to. From the moment we walked in, Dylan stepped up to help answer all our questions and was the one who also did the install. He was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond on the install. Will be back again soon!”

TIM C.

“Impressed with the friendly and helpful customer service. All my questions were answered and helpful recommendations given. I purchased all the plants for last year’s garden here as well, and had great results with in-ground and potted plants. I love that two gentlemen were kind enough to carry my purchases out to the car for me this morning. This is the kind of business that I want to support, now more than ever! Happy to spend my dollars here rather than at a big box retailer. Such a better experience all around! Thanks A&P!”

LAUREN H.

“I needed to buy some bushes for my home. Not knowing what I was looking for, I knew I would need help. I went to Home Depot…no help…I went to Lowe’s…no help. Then I remembered A&P Nursery. What a find. As soon as I walked through the door, I was asked if I needed help. The young man that assisted me was sweet, kind, and knowledgeable. I was in and out within 15 minutes. He took the plants to the register and then proceeded to place protection in my car and loaded up the car for me…I highly recommend A&P Nursery.”

NORVELLE S.

“I have to start with the outstanding customer service that my wife and I received. We bought a dwarf palm and a raspberry ice plant. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. The staff did it all packed our plants recommended needed soil and loaded it up with no problem.I will only be going to this location because of the friendly staff and great customer service! If you want top notch service and beautiful plants, trees and anything you need for beautiful landscape go here.”
