Only Phoenix Can Feel Like Summer In March

Our spring (Monday the 20th) feels more like summer so this means our timing of property maintenance needs updated. Yes, temperatures near 100 degrees Fahrenheit. (Ok, 96 degrees is still well above normal average)
Yes, the Phoenix Metro area is also called the Valley of the Sun.and it sure is trying to live up to its name. On average we are a month away from this level of temperatures. In fact there have been years we haven't seen high nineties till in the month of May.

Have you done any steps to protect your grass or plants to keep them healthy during this heat wave? It will mean more than just water to protect your landscaping investment. Even desert plants will need extra care.

It is not always easy to start seeds or young plants for fall crops in the hot and dry conditions of August in Arizona. One simple way to provide shade in otherwise exposed conditions is to build a portable shade frame for placing over rows after seeds are sown or transplants are set out. This can be the same type of frame used for starting early seeds, but using lath strips or an old bamboo shade instead of plastic.

Summer like temperatures are here, and all over the valley people are experiencing above average temperatures. Areas that normally have warm summers are having Sahara-like conditions with low rainfall and high heat.

Many of us are having 90° to well over 100° F days and very warm nights. Because of this, many of our normal colorful summer annuals have faded in their vigor and beauty.


The good news is that while many plants and flowers seem to be fainting away, there are others that sing merrily along through the mid-summer heat.
