What you can sow and plant in the garden in August: this month you can still plant leafy salads, spinach, fennel, basil, leafy mustard for salad and as green manure, leaf parsley and root parsley for forcing greens in winter at home. In August, onions are sown, chives for early spring vegetables, dill for fresh harvest and onions for fresh herbs.
Note: do not take the grower's lunar calendar literally as a guide to action. If in January or February you see recommendations that “you can sow and plant some indoor plants” or “water and feed with organic feeding”, then know that they are permissible only for experienced growers and applies only to plants in certain conditions. For example, it is permissible to feed fruit-bearing indoor trees monthly even in winter. Plants that are in warm conditions of long daylight hours in autumn and winter (with additional lighting) can also be fed and even transplanted. Experienced flower growers can successfully cut and re-root plants in winter, as well as sow seeds or carry out artificial pollination. In the general rules of plant growing, with the onset of autumn, a cold snap,reduction of daylight hours and light intensity, i.e. the transition of plants to the stage of dormancy or retardation of development, feeding, transplanting, grafting, pruning and other procedures is strongly discouraged.
