How to Beat the Summer heat

Summer heat can be a challenge for gardeners, but with a few smart strategies, you can keep your garden thriving. Start by watering early in the morning to reduce evaporation and allow plants to absorb moisture before the sun’s intensity peaks. Mulching is essential; a layer of organic mulch helps retain soil moisture and keeps roots cool. Choose drought-tolerant plants like succulents, lavender, and coneflowers, which are well-suited to hot conditions. Provide shade for vulnerable plants using shade cloths or strategically placed taller plants. Lastly, don’t forget to regularly check for signs of stress, such as wilting or yellowing leaves, and address them promptly to maintain a lush, vibrant garden all summer long.
