We encourage our clients to plant food crops along with the wildflowers on the edges of our lakes and ponds. The fertility and water come passively from the open water. It is also fun to see vines with things like pumpkins reaching out from the floral meadows. This way you don't have to worry about your garden when you go on vacation.

Im going to try with shadecloth this year
@umiluv2 жыл бұрын
I highly recommend shade cloth. I’m in E Tennessee and this past June it was 97F feels like 107F with humidity for the almost the entire month. My plants in May looked awful (and wasn’t even that hot yet!) so I made sure to put a shade cloth up by Memorial Day. I wish I had put it up sooner! After I put up the shade cloth, my tomatoes stopped looking spindly and the peppers and herbs shot up. When I went outside, it was blazing hot but under the shade cloth it was definitely 5 to 10 degrees cooler. So not 107 but 97 under the shade cloth lol. Brutal still but the plants are doing much better. I have containers on the patio and even putting up an umbrella to shade out afternoon sun has been helping a lot. Heavily mulching also does a lot to keep the roots moist and cool. Good luck!

This year is different for our garden as well, as soon as something comes out, I put something else in. Yesterday, a bush tomato branch which normally would have been pruned and discarded, was stuck into a spare spot, and half of it was buried. So at least six weeks of growth was saved, and we have ten more weeks for it to produce fruit. Broad beans can handle the cooler weather in the fall, can't they? I sure hope so, because they are everywhere. At the beginning of July, I put some small cucumber plants in amongst the garlic in the greenhouse. (garlic was a very late gift and it was the only place that wasn't covered in snow.) We just pulled them two days ago, and the cucumbers can continue growing undisturbed.

Clyde’s garden planner is a little calendar with a sliding scale based on your frost dates. It’s not all inclusive but it’s a great little guide. It has the most common veg and from there it’s not hard to figure out what isn’t on there based on crop likeness. For instance it has turnips but not kohlrabi but if you can plant turnips, you can plant kohlrabi because they’re both quick growing cool season brassicas. It tells you when to start seeds inside, when to plant them out, what to direct sew, when and how long you can expect to harvest by weekly excrements. It’s also roughly $10 US so it’s not expensive. It’s been one of the best guides for me. I’m in year 6 ( and never grew anything previously ) I now grow enough to sell at market on less than 1/2 an acre. Don’t give up, you will figure it all out 😀
