Gardening Olympics

We are down to the semi-finals in the gardening Olympics here on the NCR.  August is one of the most productive months in the garden as well as requiring the most work.  Harvesting, weeding, seeding, transplanting and pest control are all important now.  I have fallen behind in the weeding department and that has snowballed as harvested areas are now overtaken by weeds, which complicates the replanting of some areas.  Increased rainfall is also making transplanting and seeding a tougher process and the rain is also interfering with spraying for cabbage worms and flea beetles.  Fortunately, there are only about two more weeks of hectic activity before harvesting becomes the focus.  My favorite months in the gardening calendar, Sept. and Oct. are coming up.  Long range predictions are for a warm, mild, and fairly dry fall.  I hope the weathermen got this prediction right.
