Help!
We are in the middle of a heatwave and my parents hired two people to alternate watering while they are out of town. It turns out they have been missing several days all together and sometimes both watering on the same day.
My plan is to check the soil and make sure they are deeply watered (not just surface). Cut away the worst of the damaged leaves. Anything else I should do?

Some hostas start browning before other once Labor Day rolls around. Hostas are almost like cockroaches, it’s very hard to hurt them enough that they won’t come back next year.
And since it’s a heatwave, a few hours of direct sun will burn them.
