With health changes and aging, I have had to turn to doing much of my garden work in the late evening and working until I just cannot see any longer. I can weed with a hoe, hand pull weeds, plant potted items, stake plants, spread mulches, check for wilt, water (carefully, not getting leaves wet in evening due to increased chance of diseases getting a hold). It is a heck of a lot easier to do these things at 7:20 to 9pm in dim light at 93 degrees than it is to do it at 11am or 3pm at the same temperature.

I know a lot of people probably do most of their gardening after regular daytime work hours, but I was accustomed to garden work in the day.

Harvesting is going to be harder at night; I'll just have to do most of it in the daytime.

Since I know I only have about an hour and half to work per evening, I've been able to make myself be much more disciplined about it. I skip no evenings (apart from rain). Plus, my husband understands the urgency and comes out to work at the same time. I used to work two to six hours a day on the gardens, so I really need his help now. With two of us, working we're getting a total of 3h 20m every day.

So if the heat is getting as hard on you as it is on me, consider trying out an evening schedule.
