Container plants dry more quickly than those in the ground. During August and early September, you may need to water in the morning and in the late afternoon. Look for wilted or brown-edged leaves.

Teach young swimmers to always have a buddy in the pool. Even wading pools are deep enough for accidents. Older (and experienced) swimmers also need a partner.
For those busy mornings, start off with a "Shake-n-Go" by blending 1 banana, 1 apple, 1 handful blueberries, 1 cup coconut water, 1 teaspoon almond or peanut butter, and 1 teaspoon spirulina. Prepare the ingredients the night before and pop them in the blender straight from the fridge. Leftovers can go into ice-pop molds for a cold afternoon treat.
Oil sprays in the garden are a great alternative for pest control, but only use them when it's cool. Early morning is best, otherwise the sun can burn the leaves.
Check your fruiting vines, shrubs, and trees often. Damaged fruit won't recover and will drain water from the plant. Ripe fruits need to come off so the mother plant can give all its energy to helping the rest of the fruit ripen.
