Not the author. Was browsing https://theindex.fyi/ and found this blogpost with simple advice. Some snips I appreciated the reminder for:

Water deeply, not daily. A thorough soaking encourages roots to grow deeper, making plants more resilient. [...]

Skip pruning and fertilizing. Heat-stressed plants are already working hard. Wait until cooler weather returns.

Don’t panic over afternoon wilting. Many plants perk back up in the evening. If they’re still wilted the following morning, they likely need water. [...]

Save the tough jobs. Weeding, digging, hauling mulch, and pushing a wheelbarrow can wait until early morning, late evening, or even another day.

Gotcha. I wasn't looking for it and obviously don't know when I see it. Thanks for taking the time to let me know

Anyway, just because I find something helpful doesn't mean I need to share it on the internet, and I don't want to help slop proliferate, so I'll delete.

Have a good night.
