August Food and Recipe Basket: 2025

 

We are so excited to welcome you to our August Food and Recipe Basket. A true Garden to Table publication. August in Texas is extreme heat most of the time. The heat means a struggle to keep the garden alive to have any kind of harvest. We do have some plants that will sustain the Texas heat and they are the winners every year. This is our big canning season, so we get those big canners out of storage and fill them up for just one more year.
