What to do in the garden right now

Pick a month. This is the list I actually work from — Garden Zone 7A. Adjust a week or two either way for yours.

Do this month

  • Sow spinach, turnips and mustard for a fall cut
  • Order garlic — it goes in next month here
  • Lift and dry the last of the onions

Leave it alone

  • Cutting perennials down — leave seed heads for the birds
  • Feeding anything; let growth harden off
