Very informative!
Hi I'm definitely thinking that I'm going to have to use some shade in the afternoon for my peppers. They keep getting sun scald.
I need to start making better use of shade
I've had cabbage plants growing all summer since they're in the shade. They were supposed to be a spring crop, but my new chickens ate them down to nothing. I left them and protected the garden from the chickens. I'm about to harvest my first head of cabbage in September when we're still in the 80's and humid in Kentucky
My pepper plants get pretty droopy when it's a scorcher day in Florida. Since those are in containers, I just move them. If I had in ground peppers, I will have to invest in some shad cloth
I wish I had that problem on my balcony
Those arches look lovely 👍
We tried shade cloth and it works great -while it lasts. The Texas wind just tore it to pieces. Any suggestions?
Being in Florida, this video is really helpful. Instructions always say “full sun”, but that is not always true in super hot climates.
Using the shade of one plant like my Zucchini to created shade for some lettuces I had growing this summer was a game changer. I was able to keep the lettuce growing well into the summer without bolting. Also i was worried that all the tall trees around my Raised bed garden were going to be a problem but as the heat wave set in, my garden was thriving while my friends & neighbors gardens in full sun got scorched.
If I used a high arch for tomatoes I wouldn't be able to pick off the hornworms!
