Gardening in August

August marks the warmest month of the year, but there are still things to plant if you want to stretch out your summer garden. Peas and spinach both will continue to thrive as the weather turns a bit cooler, so get those in the ground now. If you're planning to plant any new trees or shrubbery, this is also the best time to get them started. The warmer months allow for deeper roots to form before the chill sets in and stops their growth.
