THE GARDEN IN AUGUST

by VECA, July, 07 2017

August is probably the best month for your garden. Most of the time, you admire and contemplate the luxurious plants you treated in the previous months, and although this month is so visually stimulating, there are still some indispensable tasks to carry out.

Ensuring that the plants have the water supply they need is essential, in the sense that watering must not be excessive – the risk is damaging them by “flooding” – or too little, and it is equally important to do it shortly before sunrise, or shortly before or after sunset, so that the soil can dry out naturally.

Another necessary operation is freeing the soil from weeds which, just like the flowers we love so much, grow abundantly and at a fast pace in summer. Be careful not to grub or damage “good” tree sprouts in the process.

Likewise, in August, it is advisable to keep the garden clean from fallen leaves or other materials, for aesthetic reasons, but above all to avoid the onset of pathogenic agents that may compromise your entire seasonal work.

The last recommendation concerns pests that during summer, like plants, seem to gain great vigour. Therefore, it is necessary, besides observing with satisfaction your work, to stretch your gaze and check for signs of coccyx or other plant diseases so that it is possible to intervene in time and properly protect the result of such a great passion.
