Summer doesn’t have to flatten your garden. In this episode, we break down what heat actually does to plants—and how smart watering, thoughtful mulching, and timing can mean the difference between limp stems and flowers that power through the hottest days. It’s less about doing more, and more about doing it right.

We talk heat-loving blooms, shade strategies, microclimates, and managing summer pests without wrecking your garden’s ecosystem. No perfection required—just observation, adaptation, and working with the season instead of against it. Consider this your permission slip to garden slower, smarter, and cooler. 🌞🌸
