Dealing with the Heat

DrPulte_Moderator | Posted in Southeast Gardening on August 23, 2023 11:13am

Many of us are dealing with the hottest week of the year in the Southeast. During heatwaves I do my best to get out and water early in the day. However, I’ve been known to water by flashlight at night if the plants are in need. Make sure everyone is taking care of themselves out in the heat this week!

How hot is it this week where you live?

In Eastern TN we will be between 93-96 all week with "feels like" temps over 100.
