I have had the shade cloth on it since February this year. The sun has been much stronger it seems all winter. It was burning some things in early Spring and so I just put the shade on it. The fans are blowing hot air around. Temps. are just too hot and I am just a few miles inland too far to get any benefit from the ocean breeze. It is not strong enough right now to cool us down. I spray early morning or late afternoon each day not too much to make it rot or mold, just to cool it down. I also keep the doors open at night so it does cool down some before the sun comes out. The plants seem to be fine so far. Storms ar to bring rain later today. We can only hope.
The gardenias are turning brown before they even open. Need to get the fish emulsion on them today if possible and it is not too hot. I can not spray them or it will burn them so I will put it in the soil.
Off to start the day with a HOT smile. Have a great day
