Record-high heatwave taking its toll...
S. Korea recently hit with the record-high heatwave, hottest temperature ever recorded since 20th century--with day temperature of 39°C and night temperature of 33°C... (That high night temperature...is the real problem.) It has been going smothering hot for almost three weeks straight.
By balcony has turned into a torturing ground for cool-growing plants. I lost couple of Cyms and even one of my Phals got exhausted and succumbed to rot. I managed to save my Masdevallias though, by moving them into my air-conditioned bedroom every night.
By the way, my Mediterranean herbs (sages and basils) are growing well, also my perilla plants are doing great...well that's a little bit of comfort..
