Sowing and planting in August

In August you sow for winter. Lamb's lettuce, winter spinach and winter purslane are due now, plus Chinese cabbage and radishes for autumn. On harvested beds, a green manure of white mustard or crimson clover protects the soil over winter. The Madonna lily is planted now as well, earlier than most bulbs.
