Vegetables and Herbs to Stock Your Garden With This August

If you have a personal garden in your backyard, you'll notice that many of the vegetable plants start to die off or slow production throughout the month of August. Instead of leaving a bare plot for the next several months, why not transition the area into a fall vegetable garden? Check out our list of Vegetables and Herbs to Stock Your Garden With This August and you will be able to enjoy fresh produce through November!
