Flower Maintenance
 | 
 
 | 
| 
 
                      August is prime time to plant hardy annuals like calendula, cornflower, and California poppies. These will establish through autumn and reward you with a stunning floral display come spring.

Caring for your Lawn 
 | 
 
 | 
| 
 
                      Lawns can become stressed in dry, hot weather, but a little attention can make a big difference. Don’t worry if your grass is looking a little brown, the coming autumn rainfall will soon make it green again.

Planting Seasonal Fruit and Veg 
 | 
 
 | 
| 
 
                      This month is the best time to sow fast-growing crops like spinach, lettuce, kale, oriental leaves, radishes, turnips, and spring onions (choose hardy or late-season varieties where possible) – many will be ready to harvest in autumn or overwinter for early spring.
