Hot weather requires some differences in gardening methods from colder weather. When not properly managed, flowers, vegetables, shrubs and lawns can easily be stressed by high temperatures, crushing hot, sunny conditions and dry soils. There are common errors that may occur if homeowners are not careful and are meant to be avoided because they compromise plant health or waste precious water. Changes to the garden schedule during hot periods prolong the green foliage and make the garden more resistant to hot weather in the growing season. Taking care of plants doesn't require a lot of effort; just a few small steps can prevent heat damage to plants. As temperatures start to go up, these hacks can help you get a better handle on your yard and garden.
