Now that August has rolled in, some people aren't sure if they can continue to plant things in their gardens. John Heck, Garden Center Manager at McMillan Landscaping and Garden Center, said August is the perfect time to plant things such as fall vegetables and perennials.

Heck said that because of the rain this past weekend, crab grass and other weeds are sprouting up and ruining the lawns. Heck said McMillan has a product that will get rid of all of the unwanted growths, that way people can bring their lawns back to pristine condition.
