Dear Friend,

August is the month when you're really rewarded for your gardening efforts.

In Michigan, blueberries, beets, and cabbage are ready to harvest. In Utah, apples, beans, nectarines, and tomatoes are in full swing.

Haven't started your garden yet?

No worries! It's almost time to plant greens, garlic, and many perennials.

You can also visit your local farmers' market to experience the plethora the season has to offer!
