August is a time when it is worth sowing or blowing up with cropping vegetables. Thanks to this, we will not only be able to enjoy the harvest in autumn, but we will keep the soil in good condition. There is no shortage of vegetables that will work in this role. We suggest what can be sown in August and what to remember during this process.
You should choose which They have a short vegetation period, thanks to which they can spend a crop in autumn. They must also be plants that can cope with the first autumn frosts. We include plants such as:
- Radish – It has a very, short vegetation period, about 4 weeks, thanks to which it is suitable for cultivation as a forecrop, intraplon and crop. We can sow it in August and even in September. However, we must remember that it belongs to cabbage plants, so you should not grow it in place of cabbage, cauliflower, kohlrabi and other cabbage vegetables.
- Head lettuce – It can be sown after brassica vegetables, so you can place it where we do not sow the radish. Salad for planting in August should be sown in the seedling in the second half of June.
- Chinese cabbage – It can be planted from seedlings or sown directly into the ground. Although in the case of this plant, planting for flower beds will only work when we manage to do it in mid -July or use covers. It is also worth choosing early varieties that have a vegetation period of up to 60 days, which will allow us to finish our collections by October.

However, these are not the only upload vegetables that are worth in the near future. There are also other species that are great in this role and allow us to enjoy the gifts of nature this fall.
It is worth putting, among others on A lamb, which can be sown directly into the ground and we do not have to prepare seedlings. In addition, its thermal and soil requirements are low, so it will be perfect, even when we leave it for wintering until spring. However, if you want to collect it in autumn, you should sow it in August.
In addition, it works perfectly as a shell Spinach, sown in the first half of August. It will be ready for harvest in October. We can also sow it at a later date, but then you should use frost -resistant spinach varieties for spring harvesting. Spinach will be a good stain after peas, carrots, early potatoes and early varieties of brassica plants.
It is also worth mentioning Fr. Rukoli, which will be great as a August stain on flower beds, which are not sunny. However, we must take care of her regular irrigation so that its leaves do not become bitter, which can happen during drought. We will be able to carry out the collection 6-8 weeks after sowing arugula.
