I have to water the plants in containers twice a day.

I am thinking about placing some of my plants (mainly the basil) in soil. The containers heat a lot during the day. Fortunatly the soil will not accept baking. But still, the roots suffer. I had to change the container with the marigold seedlings to a shady spot. And my arugula dried up

The more I see my plants the more worried I become. Some of them are just cutting and I´m afraid that they will not accept so much heat. This summer will be very warm, friends.

I think that when the baby marigold seedlings grow up I´ll have them planted in the soil.

I once read something about a water reserving flower pot. This could prevent the flowers from withering

In the ground will be easier. Or bigger pots can help

Our summer is starting off very warm too and I'm watering my pots twice a day too. They dry out very quickly.
