In August, focus on consistent and deep watering, especially during the hottest parts of the day, to combat evaporation. Monitor for pests and diseases, as warm, humid conditions can encourage their spread. Mulching is highly recommended to conserve soil moisture and regulate soil temperature. Provide shade for sensitive crops during peak afternoon sun if temperatures exceed optimal ranges for extended periods. Continue weeding regularly to reduce competition for water and nutrients.
