So, unless I suddenly hear from a
...number of folks, willing and able to clean up the garden by tomorrow…

I have lived without A/C in the summer for 6 years now. Fans, of course. The body can and does adjust. I knew this based on my childhood in the Philippines where practically no one had A/C, including my parents. I have met others here in Florida who don't use A/C.
