Here comes the heat wave...water tonight, deeply, at ground (root) level. Most plants need the water BEFORE it gets hot and dry. They are better prepared to resist disease, pests and decline in general health.
Not too different than us, really. We should also be hydrating BEFORE we exercise or exert ourselves in this type of heat. Proper hydration actually cools our systems, reducing the intensity of the heat we feel.
So, protect yourself and your plants - drink up BEFORE you're thirsty!
In the shade this week,
