I have sunflowers everywhere in my garden too. Not just as a trap crop for pests (though it works great for that) but also to satiate squirrels and birds that would have gone for my vegetables. Plus the amuse ment factor of seeing a tiny squirrel trying to run down the road with a giant chunk of sunflower head in its mouth cannot be understated. LOL

I freeze ice chunks for tomatoes that won't set without some cooling at night in the extreme heat time. Even a 16oz piece of ice next to the main stalk at night will change a temp sensitive plants production life. 🍅❤

Cherry tomatoes will grow through the apocalypse. And I’d like to rebut that heirlooms don’t like over 95F. I’m literally staring at prolific heirlooms here in Sac! The beefsteak varieties are incredibly warm hardy as are chortled purple. The only thing I suggest is keeping their SOIL shaded and moist at all time (mulch + lots and lots of vermiculite), using an electric toothbrush on their flowers in the morning, and using shade cloth when we start creeping over 95. I do shade more to protect the new leaf growth and the actual fruit.

When we had a week of extreme 100+ F early this summer, in thought everything in my garden would die but it didn't! My squash became giants and so did my sunflowers. Also my tomatillos tried to take over the garden. The pole beans also did well. My tomatoes weren't very happy and my spinach said goodbye but everything else tolerated the heat. I did water deeply every morning around 6 AM while it was cool.

I don't even bother to plant Okra until May when the high temperatures are consistently in the 80s. I always plant bell peppers in the shade of Okra and my HOT peppers in full sun. I plant tomatoes starting in mid April. I root the suckers and succession plant them through July. Tomatoes are my favorite crop, so I plant tons... for the deer, the bugs, the birds, the disease, and low and behold I get plenty too.

I believe your observations about the sunflowers are slightly mistaken. Sunflowers don't necessarily attract aphids per se. They may or may not at all. What's actually happening if you pay close attention, is that ants place the aphids in rows under the sunflower leaves and farm the sugar that the aphids secrete. So, its actually ants that basically run around marauding, doing aphid raids on your nearby plants, then carry the prisoners to their indentured servitude on the sunflower plantations. Crazy right ? The added benefit is that you have fewer problems with the ants, as they have a steady food supply. So don't spray your sunflowers.

It's true this does happens with Ants, however, I have seen clusters of aphids on sunflowers without any presence of ants. I also see these clusters on kale and also on turnip, and radish plants when i let them go to flower stage.

For veggie/fruit potting soil: EB Stone (theyre based in San Jose) makes excellent soil! Honestly anything they make is excellent, but their 420 is a great general soil. You’ll still want to add organic fert to it at time of planting but I’ve been really impressed with them compared to big box organic soils (ugh don’t even get me started about Kellogg’s 🙄). Another excellent soil is Fox Farm but they’re twice the price of EB Stone for the same quality.
