What to Plant in August in Florida 🌴 Heat-Tolerant Vegetables, Greens & Rare Crops — Part 1

Learn what to plant in August for a hot climate garden — from heat-tolerant squash and disease-resistant cucumbers to tropical greens, ginger, turmeric, passion fruit, bananas, and muscadine grapes. In this August Garden Guide (Part 1), I cover heat-loving crops you can plant outdoors right now for one more harvest before the end of the season. I also discuss pest and disease management for pickleworms, squash vine borers, and powdery mildew. Whether you're gardening in Florida or anywhere hot and humid, this guide will help you maximize your late-summer planting before the fall garden season begins. 🌱 FREE August Planting Checklist → https://tinyurl.com/wndr6cn9 (Already on my email list?
