It’s dry and hot where I am. I have to water every other day so have abandoned most of the garden not under shade cloth. Next year more shade cloth up!
Yep. Shades a great benefit during the dog days of summer. We are hoping to get a great fall harvest, as we have plenty of water this year and quit a few partially shaded spots in the afternoon.
I’m going to plant a few new pots of tomatoes, and see if they don’t do better now that the heat is on. I have a nice partially shaded ledge that is just right for some pots, and I have found some 2.5 gallon containers for 94 cents that should be good for Cherry tomatoes and not too big to bring into the house for winter.
Maybe do a few peppers too. Don’t know how those are doing this year. Haven’t had any yet, but they also grow great indoors in the winter.
