Australian Farmers Almanac: September 2026
Spring arrives - equinox, planting bonanza, and the garden comes alive
September 2026 Overview Spring
Spring is here and the garden is waking up. September is hands-down one of the best months for Australian gardeners. The soil is warming, the days are lengthening, and frost risk is diminishing in most areas. This is when all that planning you did in winter pays off.
The Spring Equinox falls on September 23, marking equal day and night. It's one of the four major Gann cycle dates and traditionally a powerful time for planting and market shifts. After this, the days become longer than the nights and we're racing toward summer.
Variable weather is the name of the game. You might get a beautiful spring day followed by a late cold snap. Keep frost protection handy for tender seedlings, especially early in the month.
