  1. I live in the South. I never needed shade cloth until this year, even growing things that are native/great with heat. B/c this whole 'full sun/heat' thing isn't working here in the South this year. But I have also focused on pruning AND harvesting daily. This has helped my tomatoes more than anything in this intense heat/humidity.

  2. PS – I still don't understand the watering containers concept with automatic watering. I don't understand how to connect the multiple containers, even though I realize you have this mastered. But something isn't translating to my head. Is there another beginner video that I must have missed?

  3. I love the drain trays and thank you for the tip on the plastic bottles on the trellis tops!🥰🤗🌻🪴

  4. Texas 8a -Last year in Aug I had almost gotten my plants through the summer and was ready to give them a boost right before the temps would start dropping . I gave them a good watering of VITALITY and was so surprised at how they perked up almost immediately. They truly looked less stressed. I like how I was able to help them without using a strong fertilizer to get them going again when they were just trying to survive. I plan on doing the same thing this year. It really is worth it.

  5. I'm using thin white permeable Agricultural fabric I use as frost protection as shade cloth. Time to invest in proper (maybe 40%) shade cloth. 95 tomorrow here Monterey bay inland. I shall clip it up over my seedlings! 🌱
