How much is too much sun?

My Foot Smells · July 21, 2015

A weak front passing through today, but previously needed a welding mask to step outside in the bright sunshine. Not so sure the sun is biggest problem, but hot, dry, wind.

My garden is in full sun and maters get about 12+ hours. I have planted trees on west side about 50 ft out, but they are still pups (german oak, 2 sawtooth oaks) and only about 25 feet tall (grew from acorn).

The sun never sets, so it seems. Can't really do shade covers and such, as weather unpredictable and violent at any time. If it is not permanent beefy and tied down with concrete; it's a gonner.

Have upped my watering schedule, but mindframe is let it pass and don't try to screw with things too much; nature knows more than I and figure things will get defensive.
