"Flowers: The Electric Pink globe amaranth (Gomphrena globosa) will dazzle you with its flowers that explode like a fireworks finale magenta shooting stars tipped in gold. This reseeding annual needs no deadheading as the plant thrives and flowers proliferate in summer's heat. Electric Pink also contributes ongoing color to dry flower arrangements . Fruit: Peppers (whether bell or chili) are the last of the summer fruit-bearing crops (peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, and squash are actually fruits) in the vegetable category that you can comfortably plant,"
"Vegetables: Now is the time to plant seeds of cole crops, meaning cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, and collard greens. You will want to do this indoors, however, since the heat would be a menace to newly sprouted seedlings if they were growing in the ground. Sprout your seeds in the garage, if you wish, since cole crop seeds, like those of most vegetables, do not need light to germinate. In 4-6 weeks, your seedlings will be ready for transplanting into the garden."
Plant Electric Pink globe amaranth (Gomphrena globosa) for vibrant magenta flowers that require no deadheading and provide long-lasting color for dry arrangements. Sow peppers now for a late-season harvest; peppers will ripen with three months before typical first frost in late November and can act as perennials in mild winters. Start cole crop seeds (cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, collards) indoors to protect seedlings from heat, and transplant after 4–6 weeks. Cover transplants with floating row cover to block white cabbage butterflies and their leaf‑eating larvae. Plant dill seeds in slim 12‑inch pots now.
