What to Plant Now: Aug 6 - 11

We just passed the first quarter and the moon is now waxing gibbous going into a full moon. Now is also a time to seed-in plants that fruit.

Many of the varieties of seeds are associated with the three sisters or #milpa agriculture system we learned about last year with our special guest Sam from Oaxaca, Mexico. You can learn more about milpa and also learn about the three sisters square foot garden we grew at Zilker Botanical Garden here. 
If you already planted these things, remember that it’s a good idea to succession plant and grow twice as much as you will need in case of disease and pest. As always, it’s best to transplant and seed-in with coming rains. 
​
