September is something of a culinary “shoulder season” – it’s not quite fall, but it’s not really summer anymore either. There’s still a ton of fun summery produce in season and all the squashes and gourds are coming out to play. And that means that there are so many recipe possibilities that are perfectly acceptable to bring to the table this time of year!
What’s in Season?
Plums
Radishes
Squash
Peppers
It just so happens that I had fun photos on hand of some fall produce that’s in season in September! Aside from what’s pictured here, some other highlights for September include:
- Apples
- Broccoli
- Brussels Sprouts
- Cabbage
- Carrots
- Figs
- Green Beans
- Kale
- Peaches
- Pears
- Potatoes
- Pumpkins
- Tomatoes
- Zucchini
