Heat is ongoing. Drought compounds the heat, making for challenging gardening conditions.
The entire state is in drought with nearly half of us living under the most extreme or exceptional drought conditions.
In ornamental garden beds, the soil should dry out between waterings. Water these beds no more than once a week. For mature drought-tolerant plants, natives and succulents, water just once every few weeks. Always water deeply and infrequently. Take notes on how well each variety of vegetable performed. Which varieties were so good that you plan to plant them again? Which disappointed? Keep track.
Late in the month, start seeds for fall veggies like cabbage, spinach, lettuce, cauliflower, etc. The seedlings will be ready to plant when the weather cools in October. Prune fig trees as soon as you pick the last fruit. Don’t be shy about cutting your fig tree back a little or a lot. It will resprout and fruit again next year.
