August planting

Plant broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, silverbeet seedlings, french marigold, sage as companion plants. French marigolds repel nematodes, whitefly, cabbage whites and can be dug in when dead. Sage encourages bees and repels carrot fly and cabbage moth.
Sow tomatoes, capsicum, melon and cucumber mid-month.
