Umm....fertiliser?   hahahahaha

They need food to grow.

Get some from the supermarket.

This one would be the easiest for you, I reckon.

Just sprinkle and water it in well.

Lyhargr, I'm not home everyday, so I couldn't save them in the heat.

I don't have spare stakes either.

I rely on others to take me to Bunnings.

Okay imastawka    .... was just trying to help you to save your crop     .....    not to worry

---

Appreciate it, but nothing I could do if I'm not home all day til late at night.

It just happened to be the 2 hot days.

Not all the tomatoes boiled.   Just the ones that didn't have leaf coverage.

I'll see what I can do on the weekend.

Fair enough, stick to what suits you

Looking forward to it tomorrow then, David.

I have to get out in the garden and clean out all the tomatoes that boiled in their

skins.

By the way, how did your chives and parsley growing go?

---

Cover the bushes with shade cloth and the should be fine

---

Too late now, and I don't have shade cloth anyway

Winds were gusting at around 60klm/h so anything would have blown away

---

I just threw an old white bed sheet over the missus herb garden, propped up with whatever I could find ( a gas bottle on one end and an old fridge drawer at the other, held down in the wind with rocks and bricks......

Crude I know, but it did save them. The temp was 50.3 degrees in amongst the parsley ( in direct sun ) and with the help of the sheet they came through just fine.

Well done you, how is your wife, getting better I hope

Yes,  in extreme heat  an old sheet  works very well.  And anchored  as you say,  it has saved many of my plants,

.

If home just keep it   

wet.
