It is the August To Do List, and we are having a gorgeous summer that is offering up IDEAL garden conditions.  Vegetable and fruit harvests are bountiful, but there is prep work for fall piling up. 

It is time to:  Plant seeds in ground, including:  beets, cabbage, carrots, turnips, potatoes

Prep garden beds for Fall planting in September:  Weed, compost

Chores include:

•        Dead-head flowers
•        Pick up fallen fruit
•        Cut off suckers
•        Prevent weeds from going to seed
•        Collect seeds
•        Harvest melons
•        Order fall bulbs (daffodils, tulips, etc)
•        Deep water trees

We finish up with a Listener Q&A section.  Topics covered include:

•        Are pill bugs good for the soil? 
•        Do I need to keep “braiding” my plant?
•        Habanero not blooming – why?
•        Fig tree only produce dry, inedible figs.  Why?
