Repeat after me. You don't have to garden when it's hot!... But don't let the soil dry out.
Instead of planting other crops, I’ve been planting cover crops in many of my beds.
It may be tempting to leave the ground bare and return when temperatures decline in the fall. However, doing this can have a detrimental effect on your soil. Bare soil will dry out, heat up, and become compacted, and the life in the soil will suffer.
At the very least, cover your soil with a thick 3-5 inch (7-12 cm) layer of mulch and water enough to keep the soil from drying out over the summer.
If you don’t want to garden and want a mostly “hands-off garden” during the hottest months of the year, plant a cover crop instead.
Count back from your desired fall planting date to see if there is enough time for the crop to germinate, grow, and die back.
