give them some cool lemonade, that always helps me when im hot, or a cold beer. lol no they look fine, just make sure to keep them hydrated. in soil i wouldent worry about overwater until leaves start gettin droopy. also get you some nutrients and hit them with some nitrogen.

Give them a good dose of nutes high in nitrogen and keep them watered in this heat. You are starving them with just putting coffee grounds down.

Coffee grounds are very acidic. You need to add some lime most likely and I would feed them. I would also put some mulch around them, not touching the stem but thick enough to hold in moisture and keep the roots in at least a 12 inch radius, more would be better. I live in Florida, so I use banana or papaya leaves, but you can use almost anything that isn't extremely acidic. Don't use pine needles. I have even used cardboard weighted down with a few rocks. You will be surprised how much difference it makes.

Good advice, I was just racking my brain on what to mulch with till I glanced up at your thread.

If you have temps over 100 you need to cover them with some shade cloth. If you don't want to buy any you can just use screen from an old door or window.

<<< Lots of water and some nutes and they can look like this and it has only been in the ground 2 weeks.
