    I'm in Georgia too! The heat is insane. Lost lots of seedlings one day after planting and even hardening off on the porch.

      Oh no! Sorry to hear that! I actually have some seedlings ready to come out of the greenhouse but I’m sure they cannot handle this sun. I’m going to have to find them a partial shade area.

    You could make some hoops out of PVC pipe and add some shade cloth over your raised beds. I think they will snap back.

      @@chrisjackson2345 the beds are healthier than the pots because they have more shade over the soil, the pots are crispy I need to figure out a plan for them and I’m trying not to mulch. Last year earwigs had a field day in the cedar mulch I used.

    WRT potatoes, I go by the expectation of, at least 1 lb of potatoes per plant. To get more, fertility is the main issue. For indeterminate potatoes, more soil can help increase yield.
