August

• Water is a life elixir. In periods with no rain pervading plants and lawns.
• In the vegetable garden, the sowing of lamb's lettuce, pickle salad and spinach, but also of fennel and radish is on.
• Now think of it later: You can still plant lettuce at the beginning of August.
• The winter seasoning bulbs can already be set for the coming spring at the end of the month.
• Now strawberries can be replanted.
• For a long flowering period: water balcony plants and patio plants regularly, fertilize and free from withered flowers.
• Pampering time for your houseplants: Rinse briefly with water at high temperatures. Protect your houseplants from too much sunlight by shadows or by choosing another location. "Sunburn" in your house plants can be identified by brown spots.
• Pond: In order to ensure a sufficient oxygen content of the water, especially in summers with high temperatures, check regularly that the pond pump and filter are working properly.
• Even with low growth mow the lawn regularly. That ensures a dense growth. Important: To prevent the lawn from burning, do not mow it at high temperatures.
