You can definitely wait a few more weeks to start your fall garden. When I sow carrot seeds, I put a very thin layer of straw mulch over the soil to help retain some moisture, since the surface dries out much faster in summer. You can also cover the bed with a floating row cover or something similar, and water over it. (Remove the cover once the seeds germinate.)

I live in the deep south, temps here are 90-100 deg. most days with at least 50% humidity. I think I may have to wait another month before I can sow seed outdoors. I do plant succession waves of black eye and field peas. Top-pick purple hull peas do wonderful in the heat!
