Vegetable, Fruit, and Herb Gardening in August

Savory can be used as a salt substitute in vegetable dishes.
Comfrey makes a great addition to the compost pile. Its succulent, green leaves are rich in nitrogen that aids in the break down of dry material in the compost pile.
One way to preserve herbs is to freeze them in water. Chop the herbs into an ice-cube tray, cover them with water, and freeze. Store the cubes in plastic bags in the freezer. Add these handy cubes as you prepare soup or other dishes.
Many herbs self sow if the flowers are not removed. Dill, basil,and sage produce seeds that fall around the parent plant and come up as volunteers the following spring.
Every weed that ripens seed means more trouble next year. Control weeds before they go to seed.

Gardening is an exercise in optimism.
Sometimes, it is a triumph of hope over experience.
- Marina Schinz
