When temperatures start to feel higher than 90 degrees, sometimes your vegetable & fruit plants can shut down. If you notice that has been happening in your garden check out these tips:
- Hang a shade cloth a few inches above the plants – this allows the plants and soil temperatures to lower. It can also protect your plants from burning!
- Keep your garden weeded – weeds can rob moisture & nutrients from your plants!
- Make sure not to OVERwater your plants – it can cause the fruit to have no taste at harvest. For example, a tomato plant once established needs less water as the fruit begins to appear – it allows the plant to focus more on ripening rather than grow more leaves. Make sure to water just enough to make the soil barely damp.
