What you can plant in August Zone9b Arizona Low Desert

August planting seems crazy because it feels hot and last month was super hot but the temps are coming down and the sun is shifting. This month is the month to redeem any losses you didn't get to enjoy from your spring garden. August is the planting month of opportunity because you can plant all the things this month and have a rich bounty around the holidays!

I can’t thank you enough for this sweet garden angel!!!!! Learn so much from you and really feel your warmth🌻 would love a meet up and seed swap!!!!!!!! How fun!!!!

[@AllPurposeMom]

We meet up at least 2x a year, I've got a Facebook group to kinda keep up with meetups. So look for APM seed and plant swap if your on fb

[@GardenHappy]

That would be so awesome!

[@jameshouse1268]

I’m getting anxious again 😊…will start getting my soil amended soon. Also expanding with 10 new grow-bags! See what you started 🤗Thanks and take care always.

[@AllPurposeMom]

I'm getting ready to amend like crazy and get fired up!

[@GardenHappy]

Yay good for you! Grow bag are wonderful.

That is good to know about out brassicas. I was not sure when I should start to plant my broccoli

[@GardenHappy]

You make me smile!!! I garden in California zone 9b. . . do you think we are gonna have an early fall? It just smells and feels like fall lately, 😃

[@AllPurposeMom]

I mean kinda but to me once the kids begin school in August it all starts to chill out weather wise then boom September is here and it's getting dark faster so lol

I’m in Yuma and I really needed this today. I actually already have about fifteen of each:squash, pumpkins, pepper, cucumber, bean seedlings started because I’m so determined to have something grow this years!!! But I was worried I was too late. Didn’t know I needed to start the brassicas though. This last year was really hard. My whole corn crop seeded and scattered before the silks even formed! Such a bummer. But I’m trying again. Thanks for the encouragement 💗

[@AllPurposeMom]

You got this and this is the best time to go big!

[@Kayleigh12388]

Good call on the squash plan. I saw the first squash bugs on my zucchini in the second week of July and yanked them all out. Just started some new yellow squash seeds last week (I have tons of zucchini in the freezer).

[@AllPurposeMom]

That's awesome, have you made chocolate zucchini bread before???

[@WhoisMichelleCollie]

Are those grapes behind you, how much shade do you give them, mine died this year. have you grown elephant garlic?

[@AllPurposeMom]

In the trellis behind me is luffa. My grapes are in full sun and only get flood irrigation every two weeks....

[@mydesertbackyardgarden3523]

I did the same thing this year as far as the squash bugs. The one thing that seemed to last the longest was the rampicante zucchini. I didn’t like the taste much though. I did start some new ones and planted them out last week, and 1” of rain yesterday morning! It’s missed us all season until now!

[@AllPurposeMom]

We some more good rain early am yesterday morning also at least an inch or more! I'm planting into this rain and things are popping up so nice and quick! 🙌🏼

[@rosemaryvanasco6053]

I always enjoy your videos. Have you done any videos on herbs. I have been wanting to start an herb gardens for a long time.

[@AllPurposeMom]

I haven't but if you live here or in zone9b the time to start your herbs is in the fall I'll make a video soon!

[@ktriley30]

Hello my friend I got your video just now I think I might be on the same time zone or maybe one hour different hot in BC

[@AllPurposeMom]

Maybe! It's very humid here, the temps is like now about 102, 102 isn't so bad, but when you layer it with 30% or more humidity. 😪

[@creinicke1000]

We have a relatively new house.. 6-7 years old.. and the rains this year brought a major ceiling leak!!!! So of course all roofing/ leak fixers are very busy... hope it's minor but dreading the cost. So I related to that love of the rains and monsoons vs the fear of damage from roof leaks and fallen trees. I really just took a break in garden.. ( amazing what did survive without my touch.. am I really needed at all?) BUT when heat goes cooler I'll get in there again. 😎 off to summerwinds!

[@AllPurposeMom]

I was at Summerwinds today and they didn't have anything in yet they said another week or so, so be sure and call before you go.

[@AllPurposeMom]

And I'm so sorry to hear about the roof, prayers it's an easy fix.

[@creinicke1000]

@@AllPurposeMom thanks for advice.. it's a good 45 min to hour drive for me to summerwinds. I'll catch some shopping in the a un city areas.. so it's not a bad drive, but I'll definitely call.

[@vanessaperez8260]

When would you recommend the actual transplanting of the seedlings/plants into the garden? Gardening in Phoenix, Az. So if I have tomato seedlings, do we have to wait until a specific date to transplant in? I would hate to put them in ground too soon and have them fry up in the sun.

[@AllPurposeMom]

Now is really the time, best if you have some shade cloth over them. I get how it feels scary but the thing w summer gardening isn't just the sun it's the ambient temperatures, like I mentioned in this video by mid August the temperatures are going to be on the decline as the sun shifts more to the south.

[@vanessaperez8260]

Oh that’s so exciting! I will transplant them in with some sun protection. Thank you for your response. We got some great rain yesterday.😃

[@AllPurposeMom]

@@vanessaperez8260 we got a huge amount last night 🙌🏼
