August ended with cooler than normal temperatures. After last week’s heat wave, we shouldn’t complain. A few drops should also be appreciated by the plants and the early mushroom season.
The weather will be overcast tomorrow morning in New Aquitaine and some rather anecdotal showers will occur south of the Garonne valley.
The afternoon will be similar to the morning with a few drops south of the Garonne. Elsewhere the sky will remain overcast.

At the end of August, it’s time to start preparing your garden for the transition to fall. Here are some important tasks to consider:
Harvest and preservation : Harvest vegetables and fruits that are ripe and ready to be picked. If you have an abundance of produce, consider canning, freezing, or drying to enjoy over the winter.
Cleaning : Eliminate annuals that begin to wilt or lose vigor. Also remove weeds to prevent them from spreading in the fall.
Size : Prune summer-flowering shrubs after they bloom. This will encourage healthy growth next year.
soil amendment : If you plan to plant fall crops, amend the soil with compost or other organic matter to enrich the soil with nutrients.
Autumn planting : Start planning and preparing sites for fall plants, such as root vegetables and leafy vegetables, which thrive in the cooler months.
Watering : Continue to water the plants regularly, especially if the area experiences dry spells. Make sure your plants are getting enough water to maintain their health as they transition into fall.
Preparing storage spaces : Clean and store your gardening tools to protect them during the winter season. Make sure they are well maintained and ready for use next year.
By following these tips, you can help your garden transition smoothly from summer into fall and set the stage for a great growing season ahead.
