Water Early in the Morning Watering in the early morning reduces evaporation and helps plants absorb moisture before the heat of the day sets in.
Mulch to Lock in Moisture Apply a layer of organic mulch around your plants to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Shade Sensitive Plant Use shade cloths or plant taller crops nearby to shield delicate plants like lettuce and spinach from intense sun and prevent bolting.
Deadhead Flowers Often Regularly remove spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering and prevent plants from going to seed too early.
Watch for Heat Stre Droopy leaves or scorched edges are signs of heat stress. Provide extra water and temporary shade during extreme heatwaves.
Feed Your Plant Summer is peak growing season. Use a balanced fertilizer to give your vegetables and flowers the nutrients they need to stay vigorous.
Harvest Frequently Picking produce regularly encourages more growth. Don’t let fruits like zucchini or cucumbers get oversized—it slows down production.
Control Pests Naturally Summer pests like aphids and beetles thrive in warm weather. Use neem oil, companion planting, or handpicking to manage them effectively.
