Similar experience with our marion berries, the ones that were ripe fried, and the ones close to ripe ripened too quickly and taste almost like bad wine.I covered the blueberries and tomatoes yesterday. I took the sheets down after the sun wasn't beating on them. I'm going to put them back up when the temp gets about 95° as I want them to get as much full sun as possible but they'll get cooked if they are not covered. I moved my cannabis into the sunny areas early this morning and will put them in the shade when it gets too hot.
Some Tayberry casualties. Fortunately it's just the very top of the hedge that gets sun all day long. Lower down where most of the berries are is fine. This is the result of yesterday's heat. Cooked on the vine. I wonder if I could just use them as is for a pie.
The shades I put over our veggie garden I'll probably take down next Tuesday, they're letting enough light in that I think the plants will continue to grow under them, and I'm too lazy to remove and replace them.
So far the cannabis looks no worse for the wear. Being autos they have started flowering already. I don't have a 'control group' under better circumstances to compare them to, so I don't really know if the heat is impacting things like how quickly they mature, how much they stretch, etc. No visible wilting or heat stress though, so far so good.
That is a well tended garden you've got there.
