How does your garden grow? Right now, probably not very well. The Texas heat is tough on plants, and most gardens are feeling it. If yours looks tired and worn out, you are not alone. August gardening is tough.

A few hardy crops are still hanging in there. Okra loves this weather, so it is likely thriving. Purple hull peas are doing their thing too. You may also have some peppers holding on, along with a few cucumbers. These tough plants can handle the heat when so many others give up.

Here is the good news. Now is a great time to get ready for what comes next. Cooler days are on the way, and your fall and winter garden will thank you for a little prep work today. Amend your soil now so it is rich and ready when planting season arrives. Good ground makes all the difference.

Right now, we are seedless at the feed store. The only exception is a few bulk seeds we still have on hand. Those will be available until our fresh fall seeds come in, so keep an eye out.

We will let you know the moment our fall seeds arrive. In the meantime, stop by Arcola Feed in Arcola, Texas. We are happy to help you plan your fall garden and get your soil in great shape. See you soon!
