It's Gonna Get HOT!
Temps up to 100 predicted over the weekend and into Monday.
What are your strategies to deal with such heat? What should we be doing to prepare? I just watered everything deeply, but I fear for my more tender crops.

Strictly Medicinal Seeds
As an herbalist I have found this small farm/company in Williams, Oregon to be a fantastic source of organic medicinal seeds and plants of the very highest quality and their shipping is excellent; I've never lost a plant from them. Their online catalog of plants and seeds is enormous.
I've purchased Echinacea, Nettles, and Comfrey plant, and Roman Chamomile seeds, Tansy seeds, clover seeds, and Calendula seeds. I try my best to support independent organic farmers and plant suppliers located in the PNW.
If you are interested in such plants, SMS is having a 20% off sale on all their potted plants right now. https://strictlymedicinalseeds.com/

Many thanks to the garden member who mowed the parking area adjacent to gate 14 today. The grass and greens were so tall and thick it was hard to walk to the gate! I didn't see who you are but I really appreciate your service to the garden area. 🌿

I've adopted a strategy several gardeners in the South use to deal with extreme heat and that is using shade cloth. It comes in varying degrees of weave for 30%, 40% or 50% shade. My lettuces really like it and so does my Rhubarb. My peppers were sun scalded last year and I didn;t realize that is what caused the large white sections on my peppers. this year I have shade cloth to protect them. It isn't very expensive and can be re-used from year to year.
