I’m writing this post at the end of another withering Alabama July. And of course the garden is showing all the stress of the southern heat and humidity, along with the attendant pests and disease. How can that not be the case? Over my years of tending these beds, I’m learning that during this part of the season, the goal is more about helping these plants endure the harsh environment and survive as best they can rather than trying to avoid or overcome the environmental factors altogether.
