• Reduce fertilizer applications to allow perennials, shrubs, and trees ample time to harden off before cold weather.
• Continue to water during dry spells. Plants shouldn't need deep watering more than twice a week this time of year.
• Deadhead perennials and annuals to keep the blooms coming.
• Remove worn-out annuals and veggies and replace with new. Shearing some annuals and perennials back will encourage new growth, giving them a fresh look for fall.
• Pick apples as soon as they are ready, being careful not to bruise the fruit.
• As the month grows cooler, seed areas of lawn that are thin or dead. The cool weather encourages fast growth. Keep the seed well watered while it germinates.
• August is a great time to divide perennials. Place them in new areas of your yard or give them away to friends and neighbors.
• Gradually move houseplants that have been summering outdoors into shadier locations so they will be prepared for the lower light levels indoors. Make sure they aren't infested with bugs before bringing them inside.
• Continue watering newly planted perennials, trees, and shrubs. Water deeply to encourage root growth.
• Avoid pruning rust-prone plants such as mountain ash, and crabapple in late summer and fall because many rusts are releasing spores now.
