Helping your plants survive the excesses of summer heat

Fiann Ó Nualláin offers advice on how to protect your plants from heat stress and heavy rains during summer

IF you missed last week’s article on how to avoid those heat emergencies that gardeners may suffer from (prickly heat to heat stroke) — it is up online in the archives. Well worth a look.

I am not trumpeting my writing skills but instead, urging you to take your health and safety seriously. While the masses are just burning up oxygen and Snapchatting their abs, we are out there planting oxygenators and growing good food — we can’t afford to be dropping like flies. The survival of humanity requires gardeners.
