While the heat sizzles in August and summertime vegetables are ripening fast, early August is also the perfect time to plan for yet another season. We will focus on planning for a late summer and fall garden, when temperatures begin to moderate and cool evenings lead to better tasting cool season vegetables like turnips, broccoli, and kale. We will discuss soil preparation, selecting fall plants, and other practical tips for planting and managing these vegetables.
