August is time to plant .... August is an ideal time to plant seeds for a second gardening season that can be as productive as your major early spring plantings. The summer crops are producing wonderfully. You can still plant in August! For many northern gardeners, the focus will be on fast-maturing cool season crops for fall (as well as planning for winter gardening, if you have a low tunnel or greenhouse to grow in). Southern gardeners, though still dealing with high temperatures, can start looking forward to some relief as well. |
 | Beans Start planting both bush and pole beans now that the soil and air are warmed up. Try a continual 7-10 day sowing of different varieties. This will give you continual bean crops and not one large harvest with wasted crop. Early August is the last practical sowing date. Suggested variety: Contender, Kentucky Wonder, Topcrop |
 | Cucumbers Fast growing vine or bush cucumber plants can produce an abundance of cucumber fruits. Be careful to pick a variety for the space you have in your garden. Vine cucumbers can be the best tasting but need far more space than bush varieties. Suggest variety: Spacemaster 80, Muncher, Marketmore 76 |
 | Flower Bulbs August is a great time to plant those fall flower bulbs. There are many varieties that can be planted this fall and start blooming early spring. Fall Flower Bulbs |
 | Kale Planting kale mid-July through mid-August will yield an excellent harvest in the fall and winter. Suggested variety: Dwarf Blue |
 | Lettuce
Sow lettuce in August for a fall crop. Try growing early harvest varieties that will produce a harvest before cold weather rolls in. Suggested Varieties: Buttercrunch, Salad Bowl |
 | Peas Green peas and sugar peas are good to plant in August, and will produce a moderate fall harvest. Suggested variety: Sugar Ann |
 | Radish A quick and easy vegetable to grow. Plant now and you can have them ready in 30 days. Suggested variety: Cherry Belle |
 | Spinach Spinach is more of a cool weather vegetable and is great to grow in August. Suggested variety: Bloomsdale, Samish |
