We are in the same conditions @riverflows , it is also summer here. I correct myself: we are towards the end of spring but the temperatures are summer. We have almost reached 40 degrees
Quite torrid days, very hot despite the fact that the calendar marks the beginning of summer for December 21.
I have to water the plants at night to keep them moist for a sufficient number of hours. Already at 10: AM the earth is dry.
With the aggravating circumstance that, in the city, the walls that generally surround the gardens and orchards concentrate an even higher heat and for this reason many plants die.
I have had bad luck with the tomato seedlings, almost all of them have died. However nature is wise. When this year I already thought of not being able to count on them, they began to be born on their own, autonomously throughout the garden.
Surely they have arisen from the compost that I make every year at the beginning of autumn when I bury all the plants and dry leaves of the previous season.
Being born late now they are suffering the consequences of the heat and I must protect them because they still do not have the necessary strength to resist the high temperatures.
Cheers.
Where do you Live? It is certainly hot! A shame about the tomatoes....it's hard work being a gardener sometimes!
