Oh Salma! That sound very tough! 42-44 Centigrade is our 108-111 Fahrenheit. When does the monsoon usually come? Is this pattern typical? or significantly changing? Is this a season you traditionally *wait* through? like our freezing weathers? While waiting - have you ever read about the hot-country growing techniques of Jean Pain, in the south of France? Online you can find & download the little book his wife prepared about their many energy innovations & their techniques for hot weather gardening. It is called *Another Kind Of Garden.*
