Surviving Summer in Your Houston Garden Heat, Pests & What to Actually Do

Hey Vibrant Gardeners, if you walked outside this week and thought, Oh my God, what happened to my garden? Droopy leaves by noon.

Something chewing holes in my plants.

My squashes are gone.

The bugs are invading my garden.

Everywhere I see there is a hole or half eaten something.

I want you to hear this

before anything else.

You did not

do

anything wrong.

This is what summer in Houston does.

Even

to a

very well-run garden.

Even to mine.

Summer in Houston isn't something you beat.

It's something you manage.

Okay, today I'm going to walk you through exactly what is happening out there right now.

The heat, the bugs, and more importantly, what to actually do about it versus what to just let go.

Because not everything this time of year needs an intervention.

Some of it just needs you to wait it out.

So let's talk about what's actually happening to your plants right now.

Because there's real biology behind it.

Once you understand it, it stops feeling like a failure.
