As temperatures climb, gardening enthusiasts are bringing out the blooms and veggies for the hot season. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or trying it for the first time, here are some mid-summer gardening tips to make sure your plants survive the summer heat.
- Get up early
- Watering your plants early gives plants a chance to soak up water before the sun rises. Plus, it promotes waking up early.
- Plant heat-harty plants
- With the blazing heat that hits Enid, drought-tolerant options like marigolds, okra, and sweet potatoes resist the sun efficiently.
- Attract the correct bugs
- Consider planting herbs like dill, lavender, fennel, or flowers to attract bees and ladybugs.
- Grow upwards
- Consider investing in vertical planters to keep tomato or cucumber plants off the ground.
- Try something new
- Want your garden to look different? Try incorporating some garden designs from the internet, or take inspiration from your ideas or those of others.
Whether you’re beautifying your backyard or yielding a lot of produce, these tips should aid you in your gardening adventure.
