What to do in the garden in August

With August comes the height of Summer, and it’s time to harvest your vegetables. The effort you’ve put in during the past few months will be worth it when you enjoy homegrown carrots, beets, chili, and so forth. After the harvest you’ll be tempted to sow even more, and may ask yourself; what can I sow in August? The important thing is to choose fast-growing vegetables, such as radish, chives, and different types of lettuce, for example arugula.
