Late Summer Gardening and Planting

Cool weather crops should be planted in late August.

• Plant cool-weather crops like kale, arugula, spinach, carrots, and radishes in late August soil.
• Start brassicas like broccoli and cabbage early for autumn harvest.
• Add vibrant fall color using marigolds and calendula.

Do early fall weatherproofing prep now.

• Stock up early on essential fall items like leaf bags, rakes, and heavy-duty tarps before peak demand.
• Grab weatherstripping, caulking, and fresh HVAC filters to help customers winterize early.
• Get ahold of emergency supplies, flashlights, and batteries as storm and hurricane seasons approach.
