This is going to be my first garden in the Summer and my first garden in full sun. So I am a little anxious about it.

Hello from Houston! In addition to the ones you mentioned, perpetual spinach laughs at high temps (it did great in 100-110f summer and also in an 18F cold snap (covered). It is also very tasty; I use it to substitute for celery and spinach. Egyptian and Longevity spinach also like the heat. I grew a bunch of determinate tomatoes this year to get a big harvest before we hit triple digits.

@GrowingInTheGarden Месяц назад

Thanks! Yes, I've grown those before but it's been a while. I need to add them back to my garden. Thank you!

I really appreciate this video and your channel. I’m in Central Texas and we get similar summers. Historically, we couldn’t keep anything alive, and our community talks about a lot of “over summering” tactics. Because of these tips, we can garden year round now.

@grisespino5342 Месяц назад

Never considered not fertilizing when it’s too hot. I thought I was doing something wrong when tomatoes or peppers were not producing central California.

Drip irrigation has made gardening in my backyard fun again during the summer time. I am currently hand watering several grow bags right now and what a difference in water retention after adding mulch. Beautiful garden!

@conniedavidson1807 Месяц назад

I live in TX and keep trying to grow tomatoes. It's too cool for them in the spring and too hot for them in the summer. So I try to keep them alive for a fall harvest. I've had better luck with cherry tomatoes than anything else. This spring has been wonderful with cooler temps and lots of rain. I actually have some Early Girls with tomatoes this year.

This year I'm going to set up a water system where I get the waste water from cleaning off veggies and fruit and then I'll dump that into my wicking beds. And then I'll take the water from the wicking bed to water other parts of my garden (I'm on a hill so I have an upper garden and a lower garden). With about 6 people in the house all the time that will add up to a lot of water!

@intuitivegina Месяц назад

Yes some days it does seem impossible. It's the tomatoes I every year I say I'm not going to grow tomatoes anymore and every year I try started them real early figuring that by the time the heat comes I would have already gotten a bunch of tomatoes and guess what nope. Starting them early just had them growing very slowly cuz the sun is so low then they start to make tomatoes right now when it's way too hot and the leaves are curling so I rigged up some poles gave them shade but at this point just not worth growing tomatoes I'll stick with the other things. Other things I mean kale in the winter salad in the winter pigeon peas Scarlet runner beans are doing great My green grapes are doing great I'll just stick with that stuff

@GrowingInTheGarden Месяц назад

I've had the best luck with monsoon planted tomatoes. I plant them mid July or early August and get an excellent fall/winter harvest. Spring ones don't do as well for me either. I'm glad to hear the other things have been successful for you.

I'll try the monsoon planting I'm also going to plant some tepary black beans in July and see how they do

I started growing a dwarf tomato inside under grow lights called, Tiny Tim. I don't have to deal with the Oklahoma heat or dreaded hornworms and I have 🍅 for salads and ssnacking. I do have them outside as are temps are pleasant now, but they'll be back inside soon. I can have tomatoes and lettuce year round by growing inside.

@sharonwhite1629 Месяц назад

One of your best videos. Applies to other locations. In southern New Mexico just put some 40% shade cloth over some tomatoes yesterday even though it’s not 100 yet. I use 8 foot T-post to attach my shade cloths. I’ll remember about the no fertilizing over 100. I’ll have to rewatch and take notes.

@peace4peaceful 7 дней назад

Relaxing enjoying the vid. Came to mind about deep watering. Carrots are probably one of the deepest roots any of my veg. 8 inches or so. Most of the roots on leafy greens are in the top 4 inches. No one likes to say too much on watering. Too many variables I guess. Like the water an inch a week. You need to calculate that to get close. How easy would it be is someone would say...water plant A 4 pints a week...for example. My weather is usually very hot and dry in weird sandy soil.

@tara_d Месяц назад

This is giving me motivation to not abandon ship this summer, after many years I still haven't found the right watering/soil combo my plants always seem dry but the deeper soil super wet!--in south phx hoping for a tolerable summer!

@amandarimpel6198 Месяц назад

San Antonio grower here. One thing I struggle with is the dichotomy of mulch. Yes, absolutely our soil wouldn’t survive without it, however, I feel like it works against me at the same time. It almost works as a sponge and prevents water from getting to the soil. We will get a half inch or so of rain and I feel like the places that have mulch don’t receive any of the benefit from the lighter rains. Same with my drip irrigation. I have to water for a VERY long time for it to penetrate through the mulch and get to the soil.

@GrowingInTheGarden Месяц назад

I've been putting my drips under my mulch and that helps. We don't get a lot of summer rain. You may need to experiment and find a happy medium depending on your needs and what works for your garden.

Taking notes 📝 and re-watching. What is the warm temperature range and the hot temp range? I’m in Peoria AZ. I used 30% shade cloth last year and even the cactus fried, so maybe a heavier shade this year? I’m also wondering about adding compost - it’s almost ready but I realized I didn’t know how to add it to the containers with plants already in them. Spread on the top? Pull out some of the top soil and mix in? Thanks so much for your great videos and shorts - they’re organized and easy to understand. Fingers crossed for a milder summer this year!!

@GrowingInTheGarden Месяц назад

Pull back the mulch and add compost on top of the soil. No need to mix it in. Hot is once we are over 100°F - Crossing my fingers (but not holding my breath) for a milder summer too!

You have full sun for basil and melons.I followed this advice from here and others, and my Basil and melons died a toasted death. As I have a south facing patio that my outdoor thermometer regularly shows well over 100 without shade, I now have both a cantilevered umbrella that I use sometimes (but it blocks too much light at times, but on the 110 degree days its needed), but I've now put up 40-50% shade cloth in 3 parts across the patio. As I can't cover it all, but it gives most of the deck coverage to give my plants a break during the worst of the day. I just wish this "advice" wouldn't be so inaccurate or even wrong. When you have a nice yard with deep beds, the ground itself is insulating. That's why animals dig just a little down and lay in the shallow hole on hot days. I now have to take all this "advice" with a pound of salt. But it costs LOTS of money to listen to it and its wrong and you have to start all over again after learning the hard way. But that you were trying to avoid by taking said "advice".

So now that the temperatures are rising, my bush beans seem to be done for this season. Do I pull the plants and start over with new seeds for a fall garden? Or do I keep watering the plants through the summer and protect them from the heat? Will they produce again or once a plant is done, it’s done? And I have lots of tomatoes on the vine but they never seem to ripen before the harsh heat. I have only gotten two off the vine. Same question. Do I let the plants go dormant for the summer or do I pull them and start with new ones after summer?

@GrowingInTheGarden Месяц назад

Plant new beans. See how the tomatoes do, they may take off again in the fall, you have to wait and see. You can bring tomatoes in to ripen: growinginthegarden.com/turning-green-tomatoes-red-4-ways-to-ripen-green-tomatoes/
