EDMONTON Edmonton’s record-breaking heat wave coupled with dry weather kept gardeners on their toes as they worked to keep plants alive. Dieter Khulmann, senior partner at Khulmann’s Greenhouse Garden Market, said Edmonton is no stranger to hot weather – but this year was different. The extreme heat combined with vicious winds left plants in poor condition. “This heat wave is going to have a lasting effect on field crops. You’ll see some desiccation and you’ll see reduced yields. In some cases, it is almost bordering on the drought situation,” he said. The heat wave created plenty of trouble for the average gardener, too, Khulmann added.
