The sun hits different round these parts. So here’s three things I added to my summer garden that changed the game for my plants!
-A 40 or even 30% shade cloth over tender veggies and herbs can really help filter enough harsh direct sun to help plants in the heat of the day.
I don’t suggest shade cloth for things like, corn, okra or flowers as it can reduce production.
-Mulching is something almost every gardener should be doing and the good news is, there so many mulch options that exist! From dead leaves, to EZ Straw (my favorite) you can protect your soil without breaking the bank and your plants will thank you for it!
-Slow deep watering systems like ollas or drip irrigation will help your plants through intense temperatures and drought! Tomatoes are slow drinkers so why waste water when you can plan out a good system now to save time and money while supporting healthy plants!

Beautiful 😂❤😊!
I love the concept but how do you train yourself to remember all these things I can't do it I'm trying to try I've got a dddd from way back before there was prescriptions for it thank goodness but still it's kicks in all the time when it's time to do something it's like what was I supposed to do where was I supposed to go LOL I write it down forget where I wrote it down. just saying LOL
What are the dimensions of your shade cloth, and where did you purchase it? I'm North of Houston, so chances are there's a branch near me. 😉
