As summer winds down, many gardeners assume the growing season is coming to an end. But for those in Zone 5, August is the perfect time to extend your harvest into the fall.

With another 60 to 75 frost-free days ahead, there’s still plenty of time to get a final round of planting in before fall fully sets in.
