    Raspberries gave us a rich harvest, but they also had to be rescued. Over the entire six-meter plantation, we stretched a spunbond frame and harvested daily. Whoever did not do this, was left without a fragrant and healthy berry - it was simply boiled on the branches. The same is with currants.
    Yes, it all looked unaesthetic (as my husband says, as if after the bombing), but the main thing is the result. And he was worth it.

    Unfortunately, fruit trees cannot be covered with anything. Summer apples and pears were removed for juice and dried in a dryer. But will the winter ones be stored after such overheating? Time will tell.
    I wish all summer residents, first of all, health and not lose optimism.

    Cucumbers in a greenhouse covered with spunbond felt comfortable. But everyone knows that the tick rampages in dry hot weather, and every three days I sprayed the plantings with an infusion of onion peel or garlic.
    It helped: the end of summer, and the cucumber lianas are still green and thank you with crisp greens.

    We urgently covered the greenhouses with non-woven fabric, the plants immediately became more comfortable. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and cucumbers bloomed and set fruit. This means they have adapted to the extreme heat. However, there were fewer fruits on tomatoes than last year. But we were glad of this too: the neighbors, who did not cover their greenhouses, did not start fruit at all!
    But self-seeding tomatoes (which emerged after winter in the open field) grew by leaps and bounds, although they emerged at the end of May. And despite the wild heat, the fruits bloomed and set. And they didn't care about anything!
    From this we can conclude: self-seeding plants have the strongest immunity!
    But to avoid burns on ripening tomatoes, we covered them with spunbond. And they did the right thing, otherwise they would have got ready-made baked tomatoes.

    And the eggplants really liked the unusual heat - I have never had such a rich harvest. The end of August, and they all grow, are already 1 m 60 cm tall, and the ovaries are dark.
    In extreme heat, the soil surface heats up to 80 °. An excellent way out is mulch, but there is another way - "clay". Prepare a solution from kaolin (0,5 kg per 5 l of water), add a glass of liquid brewed starch, mix and spray the plants and soil, and the plants only from the south side! The white bloom on the leaves will reflect sunlight and protect them from overheating.
