@Piketownking,I'm new at this. Last summer I started them too late and they got burned in the sun. This summer I started them indoors at the end of January. I planted them outdoors several weeks ago - added supplemental lights from sundown to my bedtime. Hoping that a strong root system before the heat sets in will help protect them. I've also been adding silica to her water. That allegedly helps protect from the high heat. The indicia's that I'm growing (Blueberry and Big Bud) are planted along a east wall - the coolest microclimate in my yard. When it gets really hot, I have some shade cloth that I will add to cut down on the intensity. Been following growingthegarden You Tube channel - he's a fellow AZ grower - much more experienced than I am.
