It's not the heat so much as the sun. A 50% shadecloth can help keep plants alive.

And sometimes, like 2011, I just lost everything. My worst year ever.

“And sometimes, like 2011, I just lost everything. My worst year ever.”

That’s when all my roses died. That year killed almost everything in Texas with 105-107 for so long and no rain even in the spring leading up to that. But, we’re talking food and not roses.

We have these high temps in Texas every year (leave out 2011 when there was no rain either and temps didn’t budge from those high numbers). So, how are your plants doing right now?

Let me ask this question: Is it light the plants need or is it the sun hitting them that they need? That is important to know.
