• A second crop of cucumbers, squash, zucchini, winter squash, beans, and tomatoes can be planted for fall production.
• Start leeks and brussel sprouts in containers to plant in the garden in September.
• Heat waves often result in reduced fruit set, especially in tomatoes. Expect a lull in production following hot weather.
• Removing diseased plants and weeds will help keep your garden healthy.

• As soon as the last blackberries are picked, cut all old fruiting canes back to ground level and fertilize plants.
• Head back vigorous canes of blueberry bushes.
• Pick peaches just as they begin to soften.
