It’s going to hit 105 here in Southern Oregon on Monday.

I want to set up an overhead sprinkler, get some evaporation going so my maters and peas don’t die. Does anyone know if it’s bad to overhead water when it’s 100 degrees?

Thanks!

I know so little about plants and temperature/sun. I know my beans are dead with their vines on the hot trellis and with the sun beating down, but what is the susceptibility of plants in sun and extreme heat? Do they all die or what? My tomato plants are dead. I did get tomatoes for a few weeks before they died.

I’m asking a serious question here - are all the plants going to die in extreme heat/sun? If not, what plants can live through it? What do we do to keep plants alive if they can be kept alive? I DON’T KNOW AND I NEED TO KNOW.

I seems to me if I sprayed water on the plants in the heat/sun, they would boil to death. Mine, however, are already dead.

You experts need to educate beginners like me. Help. :o)

I do it all the time.

It’s always bad to overhead water vegetables. Drip is the only way to go.
