Gardening in the heat

I only assume that we all are feeling the clamy sweaty humidity that is becoming present in our little community. Thankfully, we have the genorisity of some to water out plots, when we are not there. But there are other ways to protect our little seedlings.

• Feritilizing isn’t necessary in the heat because plant growth slows in the heat. Plus it is toxic in heat levels above 90 degrees!
• Be careful of over watering because it can waterlog seeds
• Water plants in morning to avoid the mushrooms.
• Add more mulch to retain moisture. A two to three inch covering will insulate the plants.
• Shade young plants because of the strong sunlight

This precautions will help protect your garden during the summer and through the hot days to come!
