  • Succession Planting: Replace harvested crops with beans, cucumbers, and summer squash.

  • Herbs: Plant basil, cilantro, and dill. Snip often to encourage growth.

  • Direct Sow: Fast growers like radishes, beets, and carrots can go straight into the soil.

  • Water Early: Water in the morning to help plants handle the heat.

  • Tomato Care: Prune and ensure good air flow to prevent disease.
