August is almost over, and we are cooling down just a little bit! Our nighttime temps have dropped back into the 70s, making a world of difference in the garden. I'm focusing on planting green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, onions (from seed this year), green onions, celery, cabbage, piracibaba broccoli, Green Magic broccoli, Swiss chard, bok choy, cauliflower, and some of the more heat resistant lettuces.
