RE: question for those used to gardening in heat!

Donna, you can fertilize, but very carefully. I would use only half the
recommended dose. Too much fertilizer in this heat can release all at once
and then fry the plants. Water soluble may be better, again at half the
dose. Just a plain, balanced fert would be best rather than high in any
number, and micronutrients would probably be a good idea to add.
