August Garden Tasks
If you are not going on vacation in August take heart. I think August has to be one of the best months in the home garden. Not only are the perennials flowering like gangbusters but the variety of fruits and vegetables that are in season this month is spectacular. But for those of you without the space or inclination to grow your own I encourage you to visit your local Farmer’s Market, Pick-your-own or join a farmer’s co-op. A day spent out walking the farmer’s market or in the fields of a pick-your-own is like a vacation back in time to a bygone era when people ate food that came from within miles of their homes.
