Peak Harvest Month
The garden is producing at full throttle. Harvest frequently, water deeply, and watch for heat stress and summer pests.
Pick zucchini & summer squash every 2 days
Left too long they become marrows and the plant stops producing. Harvest at 6–8 inches for best flavor.
Water containers daily in heat
Pots can dry out completely in one hot day. Stick your finger 2 inches deep — if dry, water thoroughly.
Sow fall brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, kale)
Count back 10–12 weeks from your first frost date. Start indoors or in a shaded seedbed outdoors.
Scout for Japanese beetles & squash vine borers
Pick Japanese beetles by hand into soapy water early morning. Check squash stems for borer entry holes.
Hill up potatoes
Keep earthing up until foliage canopies the row. Exposed potatoes turn green and become toxic.
