6do not plant now. the roots will scorch.
7water at the base, not the leaves, or the sun
8will burn through the droplets like tiny lenses.
9rest if you can. the garden does not need you every hour.
10if you must work, work in the shade. clean pots, sort seeds, mend what is broken.
11the hottest part of the day is not noon but two hours after. the ground stores heat and gives it back.
12watch the clouds in the west. if they are building towers, rain before dark.
13a ring around the sun means rain within a day. the old saying: "sun with a circle, rain tomorrow."
14when the leaves turn their pale undersides to the wind, a storm is near. the trees feel the humidity before you do.
