What about some advice for hot and HUMID weather? My area has been hot, cloudy and humid for several weeks.

I use olla pots in all my containers for consistent moisture and water conservation. My water bill has dropped and my plant success risen.

In reply to Linda from Garden Betty.

Love your reviews. My tomatoes are planted in large fabric bags as you recommended. The leaves look great in the morning but will turn inward and start dropping later in the day when it’s warmer but the soil is still humid as of I don’t need to water yet. However if I water then they get back to normal. I’m not sure what to do as over watering is suppose to be bad for the plants. Help please!

I moved my potted tomato plants from the driveway to the east side of the garage.
They get the 1st 1/2 day of full sun, then light shade the rest of the day.
Temps here around 100F.

After watering things, I spray the roof and sides of the house with water.
It can cool down the house a little on a hot day and save a little on A/C.

Watering at the right time and shading your plants will help some, but don’t forget, the best method is to: buy more stuff!
