The August Garden Guide is out! 🥕
August in Arkansas brings with it extreme summer heat, challenging even the most seasoned gardeners. However, with the right strategies, your garden can continue to thrive. The key this month is making sure you are watering your garden well!
This month, you can plant: southern peas, lettuce, kale, mustard, carrots, endive, beets, chives, cauliflower, broccoli, collards, cucumbers, and snap and lima beans.
It's pretty hot to plant flowers this month, but you can try planting chrysanthemums and marigolds!
Keep in mind, you will want to wait until the middle or end of August to put these plants into your garden.

Happy gardening!,
