Gardening in August isn’t for the faint of heart — it’s hot, it’s scraggly, and it takes motivation. Skye Hamilton reminds us that the effort is well worth it. With just a few key steps, you can transform your late-summer beds and set the stage for a gorgeous fall garden.
One of Skye’s favorite tips? Feed tired annuals and perennials with a high-quality organic fertilizer like Espoma Organic Plant-tone. This slow-release, all-purpose organic fertilizer gives plants a natural boost without burning, helping them put on their final flush of blooms.
Skye’s August Garden Checklist
-
Weed control: Stay on top of weeds to instantly refresh the look and health of your beds. -
Cut back overgrowth: Trim plants for a tidier appearance and encourage reblooming where possible. -
Deadhead rebloomers: Keep flowers coming with consistent deadheading. -
Fertilize: Apply a high-quality organic fertilizer like Espoma Organic Plant-tone to revive perennials and annuals for their late-season show. -
Treat issues: Address pests and diseases before they spread.
So while August gardening may feel intense, remember: a little care now means a thriving, colorful fall garden later. Discover more natural gardening tips and find Espoma Organic Plant-tone at your local garden center today.
