One of the hardest things is keeping the garden from literally cooking. Winnie and I went around last week covering everything we could with some form of shade. So now our garden looks like this.
Thankfully it's worked too and with nightly watering the garden is holding in there.
One of my main concerns were the blackberries, they were just coming on to getting ripe and I didn't want all that lovely fruit to fry to nothing. Some of it still shows signs of withering but they are not the dessicated husks that would have been left if we didn't cover them.
