The heat is on, and yards and gardens are trying to survive the high temperatures and drought conditions. Consider these tips from the USU Extension Gardeners Almanac to help your garden succeed. Plant cover crops to provide “green manure” to the garden. Collect and store seeds from your garden.
Plein air event set to start Aug. 27 The annual Spring City Arts Plein Air Competition and artist studio tours will bring artists and visitors flocking into the area for a chance to create or view masterpiece artistic works beginning Aug. 27 and continuing through Sept. 3. Plein air is a French expression which means “in the open air” and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors. This is also called peinture sur le motif or “painting on the ground” in French. Spring City is the perfect location in Sanpete Valley to paint in the open air and enjoy camaraderie, share ideas or just take in the magnificent scenery and appreciate the talents of others. This event is an opportunity to see artists at work outside and get a glimpse inside their studios.
Competition schedule cised for 60 to 100 days. The youth also study animal science and how to train, groom and show the animals. Youth are also able to raise and show dairy goats in a breeding show. All of the hard work and study is challenged at the Sanpete County Junior Livestock Show where youth are tested on their knowledge of their project species and also exhibit and present their livestock project animals to a judge in the show ring. The exhibitors will show their animals in the market classes on Aug. 25. In these classes, the judge will evaluate the animals on confirmation and finishing. Classes are divided by the weight of the animal. The Grand and Reserve
animals in each species will be chosen this day. On Aug. 26, the exhibitors will show their animals once more, but during these classes, the exhibitors will be judged on their skills and abilities to groom and show their animals. These are called the showmanship classes and exhibitors compete against others their own age. The final event will be the Livestock Auction and Sale at 10 a.m. on Aug. 27, where members of the community and local businesses can purchase or contribute a donation to purchase a livestock project animal.

Learn about how and when to harvest watermelon and cantaloupe. Harvest potatoes as soon as tubers begin forming. Harvest garlic and onions once the tops have dried down. Allow them to cure (dry) for 2-3 weeks before storing. Store potatoes, garlic and onions in a cool/dry location (32-40°F) away from apples. Plant trees and shrubs as the
