Gardening in the heat while managing a full-time job presents a unique set of challenges. Early morning or late evening becomes the prime time for tending to plants, avoiding the scorching midday sun. Hydration, both for the gardener and the plants, is crucial. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and reduce the need for constant watering, while shade cloths can protect delicate plants from excessive heat. Efficient time management becomes essential, balancing work commitments with the demands of a thriving garden. It's about finding a rhythm, perhaps dedicating weekends to more intensive tasks and using brief weekday windows for quick maintenance.
Reconsidering the garden layout under these conditions adds another layer of complexity. The current design might not accommodate the intense summer heat or the limited time available for care. Shifting towards a layout that maximizes shade, promotes better air circulation, and includes more drought-resistant plants can make a significant difference. Raised beds and containers might be easier to manage, allowing for focused watering and care. The goal is to create a sustainable, low-maintenance garden that can thrive with the gardener's limited time and in the high temperatures, ensuring a productive and enjoyable gardening experience despite the constraints.

I so love it!! I’m looking at some of plants that I want to incorporate in my garden.. Also I love to see you and your husband working together for this beautiful garden
The veggie garden makes me so happy! I love growing veggie!
Evening Betty I’m learning a lot with this season for vegetable garden. Thanks for watching and your support
Your gardens are amazing. Love your sectioned off veggie garden.
@@whiterose1972 Gm thank you so much for your kind words. When we were negotiating with our granddaughter on transforming their jungle gym area into a vegetable garden they agreed with their own request for us to grow. Plus it allows me to teach them about gardening. Thanks for your support and taking this journey with me
Hey Georgia Girl!
I recently discovered your channel and I have made it my mission to view all your videos. Your yard makes me happy; I love it. I love and appreciate your dedication and enthusiasm to keeping your yard looking so spectacular. I also live in Georgia and in my "neck of the woods" Spiderwort is a weed. Yes, the blooms are pretty, but those evil devils are invasive perhaps more so than the purple heart. The root system of the spiderwort is similar to cooked spaghetti noodles, and they love new territory. I did a bit of research and discovered that purple heart is a species of spiderwort, so I guess it's not surprising that they share the same invasive tendencies.
I love your channel and I am looking forward to seeing what you have in store next. Thank you for sharing your amazing garden. You're an inspiration. Be Blessed!
@@deideosby7349 Evening Deide thank you so much for your kind words and support on my garden journey. I did hear that about Spideerworts. I’ve had them there for about 3 years and to sort of contain them they are actually buried in plastic pots that every 2 years I dig up and cut the roots place back in pot and bury Lol. That is really interesting about the Purple Hearts being in the same family. See that’s what and why I love gardening, you can alway learn something from others. Thanks also for sharing your knowledge.
great tour, garden is beautiful!!! thank you for sharing with us. hope you have a great week!!!
Thank you! You too Sonie, I am learning as my husband tell me Rome wasn’t built in one day lol 😂 as always thanks for taking this journey with me
Beautiful looking garden, its a pollinators dream.
Evening Nicholas I so plant items that will bring the bees, butterflies, dragonfly and ladybugs to my yard. I’m researching a bat house to take care of the mosquitoes. Thanks for your support and taking this journey with me
Beautiful garden!
Evening and thank you for your kind words and support on this garden journey with me. So glad you enjoyed
Your garden is looking absolutely gorgeous! My Ligustrum did the same thing the first year and lost a lot of its leaves. It is now it’s second year and it is thriving! You should do” a gardening tip of the week” ! I got one for you: autumn joy Sedum can be cut from and put stems directly in the ground and will root itself within two weeks to Make another plant!🙌🏼
OMG Joellen what a fantastic idea, I can think of a few more to focus on. I will get something in the works.
I was so nervous when I saw my sunshine ligustrum leaves falling off. I try to research plant before I buy and didn’t recall that being a characteristic that was known. Thanks so much for the suggestions I’ll make sure to give you credit for the idea. Thanks for your support and taking this journey with me
@@inspiringgardenkorner cool! Ligustrum supposedly does lose some leaves in the winter as well,but we had such a mild winter this year in SC. I was so worried about mine last year too! Going outside in my garden after we just got rain now! WooHOO! 🙌🏼
@@joellenjones3410 yeah we had rain 🌧️ it was short but heavy
@@inspiringgardenkorner that’s THE Best kind of rain! 1.5 inches here!💦💦💦💦
