I got it done though, and it will be PERFECT! I checked my seedlings last night, and some of the radi...Sunny 36°C / 96°F -

Ok, so when I transplanted my plants, I watered the garden, watered the plants, and then planted them.

This morning I realized that although everyone says “full sun” they don’t mean the hot dry arizona sun. I put a fuller shade up, so now it is shaded on the North, East and Western sides, with the southern side shaded by my neighbor’s oleanders. My strawberries are lookin...Sunny 41°C / 105°F
