“Many Florida homeowners enjoy growing their own vegetables but faced with late summer heat issues...
A diverse selection of both heat-resistant and tender plants should be planted in order to prevent total devastation of the garden by extremely hot weather.
The site selection for tender plants should be number one on your list when protecting from heat.
Vegetable plants need a site with good air flow to protect them from the early season hot temperatures. Arranging susceptible plants along a shade barrier can protect them from direct hot sun, especially from afternoon sun. Poorly drained soils result in weak shallow roots which are more susceptible to drying out during a heat wave.
Plants grown with the correctly applied rate of nutrients will tolerate hotter temperatures better and recover from wilt injury faster than plants grown with little to no nutrients. Watering vegetable garden plants early in the day can help protect them. A well-watered soil will stay cooler than a dry soil and keep plants hydrated. However, saturated soil conditions can damage the root systems of most plants over a few days, so make sure the ground is well-drained.
Healthy vegetable plants are more resistant to heat than vegetable plants weakened by disease, insect damage, or nematode damage. Routine inspection for pests and implementation of necessary control measures are essential.
Shade cloth coverings can help protect vegetable plants more from extreme hot temperatures during the beginning of fall gardening. Shade Cloth that extend to the ground and are not in contact with the vegetable plants foliage can lessen heat injury to the plant. If the vegetable plant foliage is in contact with the cover it is often dried out or injured because of heat transfer from cover the foliage can burn the leaves.

Ask commissioners to vote YES on reducing clearcutting for developments, preserving development buffers, increasing fines for illegal tree removal, ensuring that money in the tree bank pays for trees, and more.
It's agenda item #4 which you can read here:https://stjohnsclerk.com/minrec/agendas/2025/061725BCC/06-17-25REG04.pdf
The tree haters will be attending, so try to come and stand up for the trees. If you plan to attend, it's agenda item #4. Go to 500 San Sebastian View and be there by 11:00 to play it safe.
(BTW, the fact that we've been delayed 18 months on getting a tree ordinance considered thx to county administrator Joy Andrews, and that she paid a consultant $73,000 of our tax dollars for this ordinance that looks much like our staff's original version of it, is one of the biggest scams I've ever seen. Congrats to developers on extending her contract another 3 years. You must be so proud of yourselves.)

I will spoil your pets while you are working/travelling. Although, I always say ‘they’re not spoiled, they’re well loved’. I began pet sitting in Ponte Vedra Beach in 1995. I have cared for every size dog; cats; birds; fish; bunnies; rodents; snakes; and a pig. I make visits (you determine how many) or provide sleep-in care.
I am passionate about whole pet care. Quality food. Not over-vaccinating. Less chemicals. I like to share information. What you do with it is up to you.
Hablo un poquito español. I sign ASL.
