Ping of interest to the Gardeners!!!!!!!!
As you gardeners know, if water is on plant leaves and the sun comes out, the leaves can get damaged. So this does make sense. However, how big agri-business would do this is of concern because we don’t need more chemicals.
Getting great tomatoes and cucumbers from my gardening pots. Beats anything from the supermarkets.
I guess we could get little umbrellas and use those instead of sunscreen. I lost a few cucumbers to sunburn this summer.
Coulda used some veggie-screen the last couple of weeks. Due to extreme heat, watermelons all got scalded. Literally cooked them in the fields. :( The ones we managed to get before were terrific!
My biggest challenge this year is keeping pests away from my cukes, cabbage & eggplant!
“I’m not an expert on anything, but I’m always interested in trying anything...”
Don’t EVEN get me started on this nonsense. I’m going out to pick beans; grown in good old Wisconsin earth and old-fashioned composted cow shit, LOL!
The trick is to use a factor high enough to prevent sunburn but low enough to keep the plant from starvin’. Or somethin’.
Interesting, thanks for the alert.
