Welcome to month nine of my Monthly Seasonal Produce Guides!
September is a wonderful transition month when the best of summer meets the first flavours of fall. Markets are still filled with ripe tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, berries, and late-summer fruits, while crisp apples, juicy pears, grapes, pumpkins, and winter squash begin to make their seasonal appearance.
It's one of the most abundant times of the year, with plenty of fresh, colourful produce to inspire everything from light late-summer meals to cozy fall recipes.
If you're wondering what fruits and vegetables are in season in September, you'll find a complete regional guide below for the US East Coast, West Coast, Central US, Europe, and the UK.
