August Abundance!
After all these rains it's a great feeling to see your garden in full maturity and producing an abundance of veggies, herbs, flowers, and soon to be harvested potatoes, onions, carrots, beets, turnips, and more. It's the reward that a hard-working gardener deserves and should enjoy this time of year. Harvesting is key to good production, the more you pick the more you get! Leaving fruits on plants to get over-ripe or go to seed tells the plants its job is done and to stop production. Of course, abundance can become a (welcome?) burden too, unless we have some good ways to deal with it all. Let's look at some seasonal tasks, the possibilities for too many zucchinis, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc., and get prepared for seasonal pests that are out there now
