High temps

[Bertha99]

I have a quick question, I'm a week or two out from harvest, and we are expecting temps in the low 100's, ALL week. Should I shade my plants? Growing Gush Mints and Mango Mintality. Thank you in advance.

I just dealt with that last week. Shade will lessen the radiation but it will still be 100 degrees. I just made sure to keep mine watered, mine are in the ground, which helps. Seems like the heat speeded up the finish a bit.

Thank you, that's what I'm going to do. Mine are in a raised bed and too tall for my pop-up, (not that that's a bad thing). Good luck with your plants.

Good luck to you as well!
