Time for This Month In The Garden for the month of August! Tips, to-dos, and more on today’s show called In The Garden with UCCE Master Gardeners (of Orange County of course)! 

All of the following tips here are from the August Garden Guide found in the UC Master Gardeners of Orange County website under the path August Garden Guide | UC Agriculture and Natural Resources.

• Watch for leafy plants sending out flowers which means they are “bolting” and done for the season.
• Start planning for your Cool Season garden.
• If temps exceed 100 degrees for a while, your Tomatoes and Peppers will reduce production.
• Correct Chlorosis (yellow leaves with green veins) on Citrus with foliar sprays containing chelated zinc or iron.
• Don’t overwater your established California Natives. Start planning on filling in with more natives during October and November.
