I like to water in the late evening. The logic is that the plant tissue has a good time to saturate itself. Down south the sun hits
hot even early in the morning and a lot of evaporation occurs and the soil can bake into a crust when it's that moist.
Nature tends to rain a lot in the evenings and thunderstorms come most frequently in the late afternoon. I don't think that nature
is mistaken!
Thanks, a heat wave here in Southern Australia of the likes we have never seen. The record today was 47 degrees Celsius. I'm glad to see there are things I can do.
I was just wondering on how to keep my plants cool cause its freaking hot out and then I get the notification for this video thanks man
In SW Florida, I will be using shade cloth more than ever. And watering is critical, given most of our growing season has little rainfall.
Great information and video Luke!
Nice tips!!! You explained a key fact with the watering in the morning and the drooping of the leafy vegetables...thats why we like that Back To Eden method..the cover will actually cut down on the watering by managing the moisture and RETAINING the moisture balance in the soil! You knew I was going to say that didnt you>)))
Thanks for the key tips we use intensive gardening-to we we SMOOSH everything together and that helps to!!
Use mulch, as thick as possible! Check the soil under your chips in the paths, you might be surprised how little watering you can get away with. In fact, I grow everything with no additional watering (except for some direct seeded instances) outside AND IN GREENHOUSE! Woodchips make it possible! Cheers!

Mulching, and a sufficient morning and evening watering schedules does wonders.
What if your heat wave lasts for 3 1/2 months? #Texas
Damn straight! I am in San Antonio. Just started using shade cloth and the peanuts and sweet potatoes are thriving. Should have done it sooner to the melons. :(
We have been in a 5 year drought
Our gardens very bad
Same here! I live in Cambodia, and our hot, dry season lasts from November to May. Temperatures during that time regularly get to 90 degrees.
Kari Kling 👀😲😧
90 degrees! That's cool, although I realize you are dealing with higher humidity. In AZ we water in the evening so the plants can get more water to the roots. Less competition with the hot sun. We are still hoping for rain here, maybe this weekend--we're praying it comes.
we wish for 90 degrees in summer it gets in august 120 f
I am SO glad that I clicked on this video from your Weekly Newsletter, as I was getting ready to fertilize my tomato and pepper plants, thinking that fertilizing would help them fighting the heat. Thanks for the great tips!
Awesome tips Luke! Thanks!
Thank you MIGardner for all the hard work and information you put into your videos! This is my first time gardening and EVERYTHING look amazing thanks to all your helpful tips, and trifecta+.
Thank you I live in the Mojave Desert I actually have to put shade over my garden and water twice a day. I also have as much organic stuff as possible to help hold moisture in the soil
OMG that is amazing! I would love to see your garden.
I live in the Inland Empire, So. Cal., I had to harvest early, water during the morning and late afternoon, and I used Miracle-gro to fertilizer a little bit. This was to help de-stress the garden plants from the extra watering. The plant's leaves started to turn yellow. I'm in a heat wave of 105 to 109 for the past 2 weeks and I have possible 2 more weeks to go, late June, early July. The only thing I have done yet is shade cloth. Do you think it would be prudent that I go ahead and use shade cloth?
I have 2 questions. What dirt do you use under your compost? The 2nd question is squash borers, I try to allow a sacrifice plant but I am still losing the battle.I live in West Tennessee in the center of the North and South and I am in Decatur County. Kentucky Lake is 4 miles from my garden. I think I'm in zone 6 and did not plant closely. I'm using wood chips that are 2 years old and have been making compost for top dressing. What would you advise me to do. The borers have already kills my plants a month and a half ago. Thank you I need advice.
Tony, Have you ever heard of Companion planting? This is where one plant is beneficial to another just by being planted near it. May I suggest planting Nasturtiums (Tropaeplum majus) next to your squash plants. This plant is a flower and is an excellent companion plant for cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, and at the base of fruit trees. This plant is known to deter whiteflies, wooly aphids, squash bug, cucumber beetles and other pests. Fruit growers plant the Nasturtiums near the root zone of the fruit trees, which allows the roots to pick up the pungent odor of the plant to repel bugs without affecting the fruit. In this case, it will prevent the squash borers from eating your plants because of the bad taste in the soil. This plant is also a good attraction for pollinators. Plant these first, then your squash. This way it will give the squash borers bugs something to avoid and die off before going after your vegetables.
There other companion plants that you can use to help your squash grow nice and strong like the "Three Sisters". That is corn, beans and squash. Corn gives the squash something to climb on, beans put nitrogen back into the soil, and squash provides the shade and ground cover. Good luck.
If your back hurts build a raised garden not on the floor but up in the air with four legs holding it up.build a box add a bottom with holes place four legs under it cover the plant bed with weed plastic to hold water.no more back problems no more bending build to waist high.
Thanks for all the great info, Luke! Id also like to see you do a video on keeping your garden stress free during unusually rainy periods. Its been super rainy here in the northeast this year. My tomato leaves are folding from the moisture.
Need shade cloth now. please make video soon :)
Thanks for another great video. Looking forward to the one with shade cloth so I can try it in my garden.
Great vid, explains whats going on here in Australia. Have had days reaching 113 some nights only cooling down to 96. Next couple of days looks like being around 104 or more. Vegies are struggling.
Thanks Luke, this makes so much sense now you've spelt it out! I love your channel, thanks so much for all your great info, I watch a lot, here in New Zealand :)
I'm in San Antonio, where 90 degrees is a mild day for us in Summer. By July, my plants had all died from the nasty heat we had, even the peppers. Next year I will follow this advice, and also make sure the beds are protected with the shade cloth. Wish I knew that before to save my poor tomatoes. They were so big too, over 7 ft high on a trellis.
Thank you so much for all you, Cindy and baby do to teach me to be a better gardener. My goal each year is to grow enough that I don't have to buy for the year. I need more land to do that but I get enough tomatoes to do sauce, salsa, stewed, diced and soup. Peppers all types if things including stuffing, dicing, slicing, drying and making them into powders. Snails took out most of my strawberries and cauliflower :( not sure what to do with that problem
Excellent, right on info. Great video. Keep them coming.
In Phoenix it’s constantly over 110,like everyday in months of June and july
Makes me glad it rarely gets that hot where I live, barely reaches at most 30 degrees Celsius (86F) during the summertime, heck, the next week or so isn't going to hit 20 degrees for the most part so it's still relatively "cool"...
Luke, Thanks I learned a lot from this video and I will apply my new knowledge in the future. ~Take care, Mark
We are thrilled with our cut and come again lettuce bed, then we got a super hot week and they all bolted.😣 Thankfully our ducks love it
wow, a BIG thank you from the pan handle of Florida just what I needed I have shade cloth but not sure how to use it bought it for my lettuces looking forward to the shade cloth video oceans of love from Florida
hey brother........love the vids.......really helps....great tips
Michigan crazy weather
I hope when you do the shade cloth video that you show how I can incorporate it against the fence. I have Earthboxes and they are against a fence and I'm short : Thank you for your videos.
Great tips! Just in time for the forthcoming hot Aussie summer. We've already had a few hot spells so I am primed to put your advice into action, starting tomorrow!
Great tips.Thank you
zone 9. Gotta love it.

Dang I should have watched this earlier. I just watered this morning with 9-1-1 thinking I was going to help reduce the stress of the heat. Lol thanks...now I know better. But I did harvest this morning! Looking forward to your shade cloth video.
My garden is in the Southern California desert so we get over 100 degrees starting in May and running into late September. I mulch deeply, water twice daily and feed weekly. I use fish emulsion or pee water (20 to 1). I also put up shade cloth in April to cover the South and West sides of the garden and across the top. Asparagus will withstand 95 degree soil so these are planted on the west side of the garden. Long beans will still produce over 100 degrees up to 110 degrees.
We are in a historic heatwave here and temps are ranging from 95- 115! With no end in sight. This is helpful. My squash and other plants are dropping blossoms. I'm looking to shade all my plants...?
Super helpful, thank you Luke! I was just about to fertilize and then stopped myself after watching your video.
Hey great video.cant wait to see you use the shade cloth. Have a garden . We building our first raise bed for the fall . So will going to watch your other video on how to build a raised bed.
Will you plant lettuce in the fall and will you have seeds to sell.. thanks

I'm in South Central Wyoming, with the short growing season, the high water/soil Ph, the ravenous bugs, the wind and the heat, it's been really hard to get a garden growing good. So many variables, not sure which ones need to be tackled most, I'm already planning next year's garden, trying to include everything I can think of.
I'm from the northwest, you put seed in ground, it grow. Didn't understand what a "green thumb" wasn't, lol.
Can not wait for the video on the shade cloth $20.00?
Does Trifecta plus count as fertilizer & if I'm 3-4 days away from the start of a heat wave, should I wait?
How far apart do you recommend between your raised garden beds? Also, does it matter if they run north to south vs. east to west? Love you videos! So helpful!
Hey Luke sorry off of the videos topic but I was wondering if I would be better off using revive rx on my dads lime tree or if I should buy a specialized citrus fertilizer? Thank you
If I waited until it was below 82* to feed my plants, they wouldn't be fed until October here in zone 7a! What should we do as far as fertilizing? Peace ~Lisa
Red Devil Raspberry where do you live? I'm from shelby Al.Are we in the same zone? Thanks Donna
Red Devil Raspberry for real.. I'm in Phoenix AZ (zone 9A) and we have 115-120 summers... we already use shade cloth ...
NW Suburb of ATL. Roll Tide!
I'm in Zone 6. I love your 911 Revive. Now we have had rain for 2 days, you mentioned in your video that the soil gets depleted of nitrogen and use of 911 would help with that. But after all the rain, the temp goes back into the high 80's or nineties. What do I do then, my garden is a south facing garden so it has it's own micro climate.
Agreed. My parents live in southern AZ, and they have temperatures above 82 from about the end of February to the end of October. Need to fertilize sometime.
For those also living in hot, desert conditions, the best advice I can give is to plant in the shade of trees (or, if trees aren't there, definitely set up shade cloth), use drip irrigation under six inches of mulch (otherwise, it takes too much water to keep the plants alive), and water the plants at their bases multiple times throughout the day, with a long soak at night. This helps keep the plant roots cool during the day and ensure they have plenty of water during the night to spring back from the 100+ daytime temperatures.
As far as fertilizing is concerned, I say to go for it as normal. Waiting for sub-82 daytime temperatures will keep you waiting for nearly the entire year. Keep the rates low, with consistent applications. The plants figure it out.
Great stuff imho
so is adding bark mulch a good idea for summer squash. and cucumbers... if so please let me know if I made a mistake..??
by adding a top layer
thank you
Good Video,Good Info.
Luke what about the use of mulches, this will help keep the roots cool, and hold a little more water in the soil, much like Ruth strath or back to Eden.
Luke do you use shade cloth on tomatoes?
Hi Luke. We are is your Victorville California in high desert, so cal. our highs have been in the 105s. It's been holding at around lows around 100. Should we shade our tomatoes peppers and plum tree. We planted the trees in June from 5 gallon pots from Home Depot
Thank you gretchen
Please share your opinion on using the three acids, humic, fulvic, and amino, and the use of vitamin b, to reduce heat stress, or stress in general. Thank you
Those are great tips, I hate heat waves :-(
Here in Florida, omg, 90* or more all summer! and humidity
Thank you for this video man :) I learned a lot and maybe confirmed my suspicion of why my cucumber plant might have started its last verse yesterday. It was a sad sight :(.
I could use some help. Long letter below for anyone interested.
I have "over watered" it a little bit lately to cool down the "top layer roots" at the beginning of the heat wave and set up fans and everything to cool down the plant with cool air from the other, shaded side of the house.
But yesterday i overslept and slept trough the warmest part, of the warmest day during this heat wave and woke up to a really bad looking plant. Harvested the cucumbers that was "small" but edible. Also took of the baby ones that suddenly was yellow and soft. Thinking it might would save it....
Then a few hours later i noticed it... The main stem had split... :(... Maybe from weight. maybe from heat. i don't know. (no signs of squash borers or anything like that)
But anyway. Then i proceeded to remove all the leaves under the split section of stem and i also removed the remaining few cucumbers that still had potential.
It's looking a little better now, about 12 hours later. until the heat comes i guess.
Also been spraying the remaining leaves and the split in the stem with water to try to keep it hydrated and hoping it will heal itself.
Here is my question tho:
is it a lost cause? should i just cut it down and use the space for something else?
I have topped it (it was 2 meters tall, so it was time i figured) But have 3 side shoots left i did not take of and was thinking they might grow and produce a few more cucumbers for me if i can save it. 1 side shoot is under the split stem btw.
Also been thinking i could cut away everything above that shoot any maybe develop that shoot into a new main stem.
Sry for being so messy with my writing. I'm not good with communication, grammar. etc. English is also my second language.
But i would really appreciate anyone taking the time to decipher my writing and any tips would be very appreciated and helpful. I also got into botany about two months ago. So i'm pretty fresh.
I know a forum is a better place for this... but... uhm. my brain... it's.... weird.
Google won't really give me decent answers either :S.
I will also provide any additional information needed in a heartbeat. If anyone need it to help the plant :). I'm always here. lol.
Odd Eleven I'll give you my humble opinion, coming from someone who is learning as well. I have watched a lot of gardeners and talked to the local ones around me. The one thing I've noticed is they all experiment a little. It sounds like you take wonderful care if your garden. Whatever you decide to do make sure you take notes in some way.
My opinion is not from a ton of experience, but personally I would see what happens with it in its current shape. I would then cut it back to the split so your side shoot can grow if it doesn't seem to be healing well after a couple of days.
Hi.. I had kinda the same thing happen here in US Zone 7a. I did what you did and harvested the fruit that was ready, but left the ones that were not. The stem actually repaired itself! Took about two weeks, but its healed. Never seen anything like it and the plant looks great today. Don't dig it up... let it go and see what happens. Good luck! Peace ~Lisa
Thx for the answers :). Just slept for 5 hours and the split is still looking quite bad. But the plant itself is looking much healthier :)..It was a cool day today too, so that helped.
I'm gonna try what your guys say and leave it for now. Checking for sign of the side shoots at the top to start growing and the main stem healing :).
If i remember i will leave another comment saying how it went :).
Thx again for the answers :)
The plant seems to have survived :). side shoot are growing.
Main stem it still split and i doubt it will get better. it's actually 3 section that was split. and a 4th that might be on the way.
But oh well. lesson learned for next year :)
2 meters is too tall for this type (bella F1) and i want the side shoots producing fruit instead of the main stem :).
My area is above 90° May to August. I water at night, since night is around 80° night. My garden does just fine with the heat, especially peppers and ocra. The only issues I have had are pest. White flies are the worst in my garden.
I've discovered that almost anything can be used for a sunshade, and this helps a lot. Screen, hard plastic, plastic film or bags, cardboard, wood, ground cloth, tarps, umbrellas, trees, really anything that casts a shadow, lol.
Mike Guitar my favorite is cheap weed cloth.
I live in AZ its 100-117 degrees constantly what do i do then? 90 lol just add some silica blast
hey you grow so much, how can y harvest them all and where do you put them? in the refrigerator? what about the next day, and the next crop on the garden next to it. how can y eat it all?
so when should I fertilize if it's been 95 plus for 3 weeks and no end in sight?
Any tips for Arizona growing? I have lettuce collards spinach okra cucumber arugula seedlings Thanks
3:52 Just like a mini forest :))
I live in AZ and it is above 90° 5 months of the year with 3 months over 100°. Not being a smart-ass, but when should I fertilize?
I live in Sacramento, ca... what zone am I in?
Aha! This is so timely!!! My garlic just came out today and I'm thinking it is way too hot (nearly 100) to direct-seed the fall veggies there. It is already heavily mulched...I wonder if shade cloth would help?
Molly Smith shade cloth would probably work but putting some type if cover on the soil while you wait for seed to sprout will help the water from evaporating.
What the name is those plants on your left? Nice video!
Not sure how this applies in Houston since the heat wave lasts for months. Shouldn't I fertilize at least a little?
A friend suggested I use 200x aloe Vera flakes at 1 tablespoon per 25 gallons of water(half strength) to help the plants deal with heat stress, and it also is supposed to help the plant with expressing systemic acquired resistance, meaning the bugs will find your plant less appetizing. You could also grow aloe, but that is a "for next year" kind of solution if you have a bigger garden.
This is great advice. Does your friend have a source that she gets it from?
I don't know their source on why the aloe helps with heat stress. I would guess its because of the sugars, hormones and enzymes in the aloe. Aloe has salicylic acid in it, which stimulates the systemic acquired resistance of the plant; this could also be why it helps with heat stress, less pest pressure. you can check google for some studies. I've noticed less aphids, but the Japanese beetles are still going after everything.
I think I replied to my post not your's. that's weird.
california can be several weeks over 100 degrees during the grow season ... so its kinda hard to skip feeds...
Awesome update thank you for sharing Luke
I'm in Apple Valley California. I planted from seed in early March water every day and. I planted 5 different tomato varieties and have a total of 5 tomatoes about the size of a small ball. Not ripe. Peas died , sweet pepper plants not flowering. Basil not growing and thyme flowering all over the place. My zucchini has blooms on them but they don't open. Not sure what to do next.
want that video on shade cloth
i have a question.. i live in northern fl. and well we had got alot of rain, too much. what can i do to protect my plants from getting too much water?
I guess you could string a rope across the middle and throw a tarp over it to make a sort of A-frame tent. This ought to shed rainwater. That also works as a sun-shade. You may need to take it off though to get sun and airflow to help dry out the soil.
Woodchip mulch or compost might absorb some water. Depending on what you're growing you could also transplant into containers and move the containers. You can also make a poly tunnel (low or high).
Should you cut down lettuce before your heat wave
105° in Salt Lake City yesterday. Usually 90's all of July with a few days over 100°, high 80's in June and August. With our short growing season in northern Utah, I need things to grow during the heat. My plants seem to be doing okay, although my lettuce is bitter. I'm interested to see the shade cloth.
Do you have a video on garden design? I'm expanding my garden next year.
Mrs. Mags I'm in Ogden, my plants are taking a beating from all this heat! they still look great but the peppers aren't producing and the flowers on my tomatoes have majorly lessened.
Liana Larsen hey neighbor! I'm in Farr West. I've got blooms and quite a bit of fruit, but nothing close to being ripe yet. I thought I'd have more by now. I'm grateful for what I've got. I'm sure things will get better. We're over our average days over 100°, so it will probably start cooling soon. Way too soon, I say. I love the heat!
I can't wait for a cool down I have no air conditioning where I moved and it's been miserably hot. maybe some rain, something!
Liana Larsen I have no AC in my car this week and I have a long commute. I lived in the Mohave Desert for 11 years. This is nothing, haha. But I get it. It'll cool down soon.
looking for advice... planted Scarlett Runner beans from seed. started out growing well, but they seem to have stopped growing and not climbing trellis, very few flowers also.
I'm in zone 6 Southern Ontario Canada
Kevin I grew them a few years ago. Most of the flowers fell off due to heat, and i think the same can be said for the growth. They only grew to about 2.5m and started growing lots of suckers later in the season, as well as a lot of flower clusters, so I still got some beans.
I live in lubbock Texas where there are nanny more days above 82 then there are below. Any ideas with fertilizing here?
Melissa Green fish emolsion
Leo Davis I have started that. It responds well. Thank you
zone 9 here . index of 108 still putting on fruit :D
My chili's are hanging on for dear life in Southern Nevada (LV), flowers and then the flowers fall off before any fruit :( im hoping i will have more look when it cools down.
Vapers Ale im sorry i ment im in zone 8 in florida but yeah i lived in reno for 15 years i know, its way different than Vegas but yeah... use shade cloth ive been using it down here im setting tomatoes with a heat index 108!
It's always in the 80's in July and August here. Does that mean I shouldn't fertilize in those months, or is it because those temperatures are unusual for your climate?
you can plant between taller plant like peppers to tomatoes
How often should we be fertilizing our garden? I mixed trifecta into my garden a month ago and everything has been growing great but do i need to add more?
RJ McBain once a week early in season to build size then slack for veg production
Thanks Leo!
my garden is so screwed, had bolting on alot of my plants and stupid rabbits keep getting in somehow and chewing on everything :( and a tomato plant had so much heat stress it wilted, it sucks so bad because my plants were growing huge and green, this WI humid heat is crap
How to save your crop.make rectangle of pv c pipe poke holes in it like mist ers place over crop place blue shade tarp over the rectangle form one foot above plants let mist hit two inches from roots saves water keeps plants cool.
This is my opinion:
-Definitely water in the early morning (late day is ok if out of direct sunlight).
-MULCH to protect the root system, and retain the water.
-Fertilize in the early morning or late day when it is NEEDED.....don't just stop fertilizing because it's in the high 80s 90s. Personally, I fertilize when I plant, fertilize again when the first fruit set, fertilize again approximately 4 to 6 weeks after that.
-Common sense is to pick what is ready and not pick what isn't ready.
Zone 6a here.
This guy is a fucking genius.
What do I do if I can't water in the morning
Hey, Luke! How come you don't mulch your beds?
-A big fan
oiyutigh it attracts slugs
I don't think we hit above 85F this year and we're throwing away the swimming pool because it just doesn't get warm enough to swim anymore. The lake is very cool too so no swimming there. I don't think we hit 90 yet this year.
Paint the bottom of the pool in a dark colour, it'll absorb heat from the sun easier and therefore warm the pool up... :)
love your show. a crazy person went in my yard and chopped up everything. what can I grow fast before summer is over.
did you make it clear that you don't want them back and that they would regret coming back
zucchini
OMG! I'm so sorry! Zucchini and summer squash.. potatoes.. cucumbers. Those should all do well with what is left in the growing season depending on your zone. Good luck! Peace ~Lisa
thank you I'm zone 8. he chopped up all the plant so thank you for your help. we grow most of our food for the year
Since you're in zone 8, I'd also try tomatoes.. you should have plenty of time left. Buy big ones at the nursery and you should be good. So sorry for your troubles. Peace
Can you give 5 ways to reduce the stress on the gardener? Have you ever tried using crushed ice in your garden when the temperature is over 95? I still have somewhat tasty leaf lettuce after about 15 days in the 95+ range, and I have to think that setting crushed ice around the plants in the mid-morning has played a part.
What about compost tea applications when the temperature is above 90? It could be weeks before it drops below for highs.
The one thing I was hoping you'd address is the use of simply misting on a very hot day-----several times a day when very hot. I don't see how this could NOT benefit the plants by cooling the plant's immediate environment. Not so much for the sake of getting it to the roots, but as an 'air conditioning' method. Is this bad? We are cooking here in the Chicago suburbs! When I'm avail;able to do so, I've done this throughout very hot days several times, but if it's a bad idea, I'll try something else. Thanks.
how do your plants grow so robust!
Why am I even watching this? I live in a really cold maritime climate where there is no growing season for any citrus fruits, tomatoes, cucumbers or peppers! I suppose I just like watching the channel.
I transplanted a few plants a day ago and now they seem to be in shook. Can someone give me any piece of advice?
lmclrain Use all 5 mthods to beat this heat. I'm waiting for this heat wave to end before planting anything else, and I need to.
I have read that keeping the plant hydrated helps. But as he said I do not want to encourage grow. Should I just leave the plants alone?
lmclrain DON'T LEAVE THEM ALONE! Keep that soil cool. Mulch HEAVILY. WATER EVERY MORNING. Might help to skip a day with the hose and water with ice cubes on the mulch. Think healthy, happy roots. You want that plant to stay comfortable.
@MIgardner
-----------------------------------------------------
leaves wilt when it's hot or under watered because of low "turgor pressure" as the water content in the leaves is low. it's possible to describe it as a advantage or a defense mechanism but it's really neither. it will be more accurate to say that turgor pressure is responsible for plant structure shape and sturdiness which improves sun exposure and thus photosynthesis.
that's my 2 cents :)
you are talking 90 degrees..what about 105 for 5 days?
We got day after day of 100 degree weather in Texas and it burned my small garden. :(
Shade cloth really does work and is so cheap and easy to set up. My peanuts and sweet potatoes are thriving. Melons... I should have done it earlier to them. :(
I'm surprised you made this video in front of a bed of tomatoes that have no mulch!
Note: Poa-tuh-bul (long "O")
hmm mmmmmmmm... ... ... maybe it is to hot for blooms (flowers)might have found my own answer. thankyou
I WATER AT NIGHT MY PLANTS ARE BIG
