August planting calendar. We have to take advantage of these temperatures to start with the seedbeds and to plant the first things for next fall. As you can see, we have completely changed our range of seeds, and we are moving from summer fruits to leaf and root crops, so typical of these dates.
These are dates when people think that nothing is grown, but on the contrary, the Autumn-Winter crops start in August. And there are more of them than many people think.
