August To-Do List for Zone 7
-
If the weather's dry, water your vegetable garden gently but deeply every 5 to 7 days.
-
Before midmonth, sow cool-weather crops like Chinese cabbage, beets, Swiss chard, and mustard.
-
Cover seedbeds with shadecloth and mist the soil often to induce sprouting.
-
Late this month, set out transplants of broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and collards.
-
Stop watering potted amaryllis bulbs; store them in a dark, dry spot for several weeks, then bring them out again to initiate winter bloom.
