Heat-Dome gardening. How to get your vegetable garden through a heat wave

Gardening often requires a bit of prior planning. With the right info and materials, you can get your vegetables (most of them) through a heat wave.
As you gain experience you will come to see a heat wave as a great opportunity to get some summer plants off to a good and strong start. It takes a bit of care and attention, but the plant can outdo what they can do if the weather is not to their liking.
