The container gardening calendar for August resembles the July calendar.
Be vigilant about your watering schedule as this is the month of greatest heat in the summer.
Also continue to deadhead your plants, particularly the annuals to encourage continuous bloom.

A schedule of feeding your plants liquid fertilizer every two weeks will keep your plants blooming into the fall.
This is the month when some of your containers are at their peak.
Take lots of photos to keep in your garden journal for future reference.
Shape and pinch back the houseplants and check them for insects before bringing them indoors.
Be sure to reverse the hardening off process to help acclimate your plants to their new winter environment.
Each day extend the period that they are in the house and do this for about a week.
