Ah it’s nice someone’s flowers are surviving. My Dahlias had their flower buds turn black and harden so that’s fun.
This heat is insane.
35c on Wednesday, so I’m scared, they get decent shade though, that entire bed is more or less N/S running.
Oh mines like NE/SW running and gets absolutely blasted with early morning sun and heat and then drags the mid afternoon sun for I think a bit too long. I have never seen droopier and sadder leaves.
Edit: and it’s been 34°+ for the last like 6 days with not an ounce of sky water.
I would say mine is maybe 15 degrees that way, but my house is to the east, so it’s gets shaded until about 9-10 when the sun crests the house, but the garden beds get the slit between the houses for a bit.
It’s now 1 and they are already partly shaded. That was the plan with the trees when we planted them 3 years ago, shade coverage, first few years was rough. Hostas DO NOT like full sun, at all.
Edit, I double checked my original picture, you can see the house shade just leaving on the bottom right actually.
