It seems way too hot and try to put anything in the ground right now,

I agree. I just came back inside from doing something I hardly ever have to do, and that was to water my okra plants. They are very drought and heat tolerant, but with no rain for a couple weeks now in the N.O. area, they were starting to show wear and tear.

So I dropped the hose between the rows and let the water flow to saturate the ground and give them some relief.

I know nothing would do well if in the ground as a new plant in my back yard right now. It is well over 100 at ground level every day for hours on end. My back yard gets full sun from sunup until late in the afternoon before the shadow of my 2 story house starts creeping across the yard.
