This month is a really one of transitions, as we're either entering Spring, or leaving Summer behind for September. In Australia, we mark Spring as the first of September, and in a few weeks time, both Europe and the Americas will be entering Autumn, if you're following the astronomical calender for the seasons.
AND IF YOU'RE ME, YOU'RE JUMPED THE GUN BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T SET THE CALENDER SCHEDULE RIGHT.... DU'OH!
Dont worry, I'll post a reminder again in September ππππ±π±π±... Note it doesn't start til Sep 1.
Of course, as Australian gardeners like @minismallholding, @ligayagardner and me celebrate the coming of warmer weather to plant summer vegetables (unless you're in Queensland like @blingit with a more tropical climate), some parts of the world are feeling bitter sweet as Autumn is not too far away. However, it's also been a rough summer with a lot of dry soil and wilting plants, so cooler weather and rain is welcome too.
