Only vacationers like high temperatures. Summer residents are not particularly happy with the heat, and not only because they have to water their beds more often.

Already at +30 degrees or more, cultivated plants can suffer from overheating, and empty flowers can also begin to appear due to problems with pollination.

Summer residents were reminded about how to save their garden beds from the heat.

Watering

In hot weather, you can water the plantings only early in the morning or in the evening closer to sunset. Watering during the day can cause burns on the leaves.

It is essential to use water with a temperature of at least +20 degrees Celsius, otherwise there is a high probability of root rot developing.

Loosening

After watering, be sure to loosen the soil.

Mulching

Mulch will help reduce the time spent in the beds in the heat. It protects the beds from moisture evaporation, overheating, and at the same time from the appearance of weeds.

Processing

At this time, plants need to be treated with preparations that help them cope with stress caused by the weather.

Treatment is carried out in the evening approximately once a week with the preparations "Zircon", "Epin", "Fitosporin" or analogues.

If possible, you should try to shade the plantings.
