Keep Your Garden Thriving All Summer

Beat the Heat with Simple Tips

Summer sun is wonderful, but prolonged heat can stress even the toughest plants. Follow these tips for a healthy garden during the hottest months of the year:

• Water deeply in the early morning so moisture reaches the roots before it evaporates.
• Mulch 2–3 inches around beds to lock in soil moisture and keep roots cooler.
• Shade tender plants with lightweight fabric or place containers where they receive afternoon relief.
• Finally, hold back on heavy fertilizing—light, slow‑release feedings prevent “burn” when temperatures soar.
