Don't do it!
But what if you have to plant, dig, move bags of potting soil, carry heavy plants, etc?
Easy.
You get up in the middle of the night to do it.
Living in the desert in the summer requires adaptations. Ours is that we start our day at 3:00 a.m. But because we had planting to do, we got up even earlier today.
And worked in the dark. Quietly. (although none of our neighbors are around this time of year and, uh, even if they were around their hearing often isn't that great.....at least if it's like ours).
Then we took an hour bike ride.....in the dark:
Then we walked to the pool and went swimming for an hour.
By 7:00 a.m. had walked 1/2 mile, swam for an hour, cycled for an hour (13 miles), planted half a dozen plants, showered, and had breakfast.
How to live in the desert.
