Garden Affair : How my plants are surviving Heat waves

The April turned out to be quite a paradox of a month this year when first fortnight of the April saw concurrent rains and temperature  turned out to be chilly and thereby expected summer season was derailed . The later fortnight came with rising temperature and summer became extreme within in span of a week with  heat waves observed for most part of Day resulting in concurrent high night  temperatures.
 
Protecting plants  wilting from Heat waves becomes the priority in summer season. 
In the time period of last decade I have realized  the following hacks that actually helps in protecting plant from harsh heat waves and sunlight. 

Mulching the top layer of soil with dried leaves . It helps in retaining moisture in to the roots of plant.

                                                      

Installing a water sprinkling system in the Garden. A water sprinkler equipment helps in cooling down the temperature of Garden and protecting it from heat waves . 
                                                          


                                                                    
Installing   Green net protects plant from harsh heat waves and provide shade on plants to protect leaves from burning from heat and sunlight. This is widely popular method is  used in summer to protect plants from direct exposure of Sunlight. 

                                                        



The basic take away from all these hacks is that plants and Garden can be protected from detrimental effects of Heat waves when we bring down the temperature of Garden. 

It is the time for link up party Garden affair where we can share posts related with Gardening, Nature an birds. The link up party will be open for a week .

  1. Dear Arun, we have a saying that rhymes:
    "Der April
    macht, was er will"
    (= April does what it wants.)
    For us, that usually means the weather can change from warm to cold or from dry to rainy in a very short time, and sometimes it even snows in April.
    This year, however, we've also had widespread drought; the few rainy days haven't been nearly enough to water the garden. Your tips are all good.
    All the best from Austria
