Here’s how an urban farmer is keeping her plants alive during excessive heat
“Deep watering is the best way to go rather than spritzing every day,” he said.

Excerpt:
Jeff Webler, one of the owners of White Oak Gardens will tell you, water is key to helping plants through this heat wave.
“Deep watering is the best way to go rather than spritzing every day,” he said.
He also said over watering can be as harmful as not watering at all, so the best way to tell if your plants actually need to be watered is a moisture meter.
“You simply just probe it into the soil and the deeper you go. So plants that are registering somewhere in the middle are getting close to being watered — or needing to be watered,” Webler said.
Plant owners need to do their research though. Webler said the perfect moisture level on the meter depends on the plant.
His other advice includes using mulch and adding straw on top for any vegetable plants.
If you’re not done with your planting for the year, he has a few suggestions too.
“I don’t suggest you plant when it’s over 90 degrees,” Webler said.
He said you can wait until the heatwave passes or plant earlier in the morning.
As for what to plant, a few of the plants he said do well in the heat include lantanas, coreopsis and echinaceas.
Some might guess in this heat, business would be slower at businesses like White Oak, and Webler said it has a bit.
