What can I still sow in August?

August is ideal for lamb's lettuce, spinach, radishes, Asian greens and the last bush beans. These crops cope well with the shortening days and still give a fine autumn harvest.

Is late-summer resowing really worth it?

Definitely, because every patch of freed-up bed can carry one more quick crop. In a raised bed the soil stays warm in August, so the seed germinates fast.

How fast do I get my plan?

Three steps, three minutes. Type your location, measure your bed, click the veg you like. I do the rest.

Free: one bed, full annual plan, PDF export — free and no account needed. Pro (multiple beds + weather + garden calendar + push & email reminders): €4.90/month or €39/year. Premium (with AI coach Stachi): €9.90/month or €79/year.

Does it work for a balcony planter?

Yes. From a 40×20 cm balcony box to a 3×1 m raised bed — same three steps, same outcome.

Do I need an account?

Not for your first plan — creating one works without signing in. You'll need an account once you want multiple beds, your plan on multiple devices, or weather reminders.

Still plantable in August

In August the garden slowly shifts gear, the summer crops bear heavily and at the same time space opens up for autumn planting. It's not too late for something new: lamb's lettuce, spinach, radishes and winter cabbage sown in August will carry your harvest well into winter.
