The Grand Canyon is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. However, August days over 100 F are common. Check the weather and bring a reusable water bottle and lots of water. You time in the sun will be a success!
August is your go-to month to divide your perennials for next year. Hosta, oriental poppy, daylily, or irises. Use a spade to lift the plant to disturb the root ball as little as possible. Next year? New life will greet you from a new section of your garden!
How about those weeds? They will try to overtake your garden during August. Try to pluck them before they go to seed to prevent them from wreacking havoc on your plantings in the spring. Seeds can overwinter and pop up even without the parent plant still around.
Not only your pots, but plants in the ground can suffer from August's heat. If you have to be away for an extended period, type up instuctions to your yard sitter so your outdoor plants survive to welcome you home.
