August Planting List
Zone 7
We live in Zone 7 in Maryland in the DC suburbs. The garden has been going strong for several months, but some of the crops have petered out leaving some blank spots. The potatoes are all pulled, the early season crops are all either eaten fresh or turned into green powder (I'll post my process for green powder soon). The first bush beans are starting to lose their oomph. I used to think it was too late to still plant warm weather crops, but several people have had success with season warm crop plantings. I'm trying it this year and will let you know!
Warm weather crops that can be planted in early August:
- Cucumbers
- Zucchini
- Basil
- Bush beans
- Small summer squash
- Small winter squash
Cool weather crops that can be planted in August:
- Parsley
- Carrots
- Radishes
- Beets
- Lettuce
- Spinach
- Cabbage (start indoors if its really hot still)
- Broccoli (start indoors if its really hot still)
- Kale
- Kohlrobi
- Swiss Chard
