Hoping not to jinx things here but I think daily care and all the work using sunshades and daily watering has worked! It is 105° today so I still can’t remove the sunshade cloth I put up in May. But looks like the 4 jasmine plants have survived to live a year here despite 115° frequently and another record for heat in Phoenix, most days with temperature average 110° daily. New white plant racks along the wall under the arbor. Looking like a nice area is getting closer at hand in my backyard.
@cobalt @vickyveritas Here in Colorado we are learning that the shade provided by solar panels is actually good for agricultural endeavors. "Agrivoltaics is the co-location of agriculture and solar energy infrastructure whereby the microclimates created by the solar panels provide benefits to the vegetation or animals beneath and around them." https://www.jackssolargarden.com/
