    I'm so glad I found this since I live in Central Texas where too much sun is also a problem in summer. I discovered accidentally that afternoon shade was the key for many plants to continue producing.

    “Anyone who has followed the full sun directions meant for other climates...” 😂🤣
    Girlfriend, you had me cracking up on that one...being in S FL I can attest that is so true! I read the planting guides on the back of the seed packages and it’s like are these ppl on crack?? No way can I start broccoli In April or whatever. My winter is everyone else’s summer....though I’m gonna try the shade cloth this year & hope for the best.🤞🏻
    Thanks for the video.👍🏼

    Thanks for the video! Another interesting aspect is gardening at high elevation. I’m up here in Show Low at 6800’. Even tho it is usually in the high 80’s at most, I use shade cloth due to the intensity of the sun. Yes, the higher the elevation the more intense the UV rays. 🤷🏼‍♀️ And the fact that my garden gets no shade during the day whatsoever. Shade cloth saved my garden last year!

    Thank you sooo much! I have been looking for a video just like yours explaining what to shade in the garden and how. Here in Australia, central Victoria, our summers can get up to 47 deg Celsius, which is way over 100deg F. In summer the sun is high and the garden is in full sun in some parts, as some gardeners suggest for growing some vegetables and fruit but the sun can be so intense and literally burn the leaves and fruit. I now realise we must have hot Arizona summers like you. However this summer it was unseasonally cooler as we only reached 40deg Celsius- but I still was forced to use shade cloth over the blackberries.

    I put up a structure to support a shade cloth. It was difficult and I was doing it alone! I wanted something that I could pull back over the top, like a curtain, only suspended above the plants. I had a lot of sagging so I had to 'fix' that problem. Didn't work like I wanted but I did get something up. I have direct sun all day and wide open space and no trees for dappled sun. Think I'm going with 8 ft, T-posts now because it can be easy-up, easy-down.

    The shade cloth I bought from HD says it blocks 90% of UV rays. Is that percentage we are looking at when deciding which shade cover to use? Because with it up it is clearly not blocking 90% of the light. Maybe half the light is being blocked.

    Hello, I’m Canadian in Southern Japan. I’m growing a lot of watermelon this summer. It’s late July and 42C (105F). I hear watermelon likes full sun, but I wonder how much sun and heat is too much? Do you think watermelon would benefit from shade cloth or is it unnecessary? The watermelon is growing in a south-facing location where it receives full sun almost all day. Do you figure the shade cloth is required or not?

    I’m so confused as per my compass on my phone it’s opposite w the sun and shade or is it because it’s the end of feb?

    Thanks for the video. Does the shade cloth extend to the side or just on top?

    • @GrowingInTheGarden

      You can extend it over the side to block morning or afternoon sun if you would like.

    Do your metal trellises ever get hot enough to burn your plants?

    • @GrowingInTheGarden
      @GrowingInTheGarden  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hasn’t been an issue - the trellis is usually covered by plants, especially in the summer.

    Will the cattle panel will be too hot for the plants to climb during the hottest time comes summertime? I’m in zone 9b. Thanks.

    My house shades all the garden after 2:30 pm. Is that early enough or it needs shade at noon?
    Do you talk about this in your book?

    • @GrowingInTheGarden
      @GrowingInTheGarden  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      My book is about container gardening, not Arizona specific. Shade after 2:30 is probably ok - see how your plants do. If they aren't tolerating it then consider adding some.

    Can you use bubble wrap for shading? Thanks for the vid.

    • @GrowingInTheGarden
      @GrowingInTheGarden  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Interesting idea... do you have a lot of extra bubble wrap that you need to use up? I'd choose something else if you can.

      @@GrowingInTheGarden Thank you! I have tons of bubblewrap. It was used during the spring (Zone 9) to protect my lettuce and it WORKED GREAT. So now I'm trying it for the summer garden. Thanks again.

    Hi, my husband and I want to start a vegetable garden here in Mesa AZ. We have a very small backyard. The only area we have gets alot of morning sun but not after noon sun all year round. Will this scenario be okay or will this not be enough sun?

    • @GrowingInTheGarden
      @GrowingInTheGarden  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Morning sun and afternoon shade is ideal. Hopefully your area gets at least 6 hours of sun.

    what shade cloth can we use for tropical fruit trees ???

      Good question. I don't do tropicals, so I'm not sure.

    Doesn’t the shade cloth inhibit pollinators

    • @GrowingInTheGarden
      @GrowingInTheGarden  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Keeping it a couple of feet above the plants helps with that.

    Why is it important not to let the shade cloth touch plants?

    • @GrowingInTheGarden
      @GrowingInTheGarden  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Can damage plant tissue, cause pest issues. Good airflow above plants is important.

    What shade cloth manufacturer would you recommend to buy from as its hard to know which brand is good. Looking for a 40% sunblock shade cloth UV resistant as well. I don,t see any in my local big box stores.

    • @GrowingInTheGarden
      @GrowingInTheGarden  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Bootstrap farmer has good products - you can see their shade cloth here: www.bootstrapfarmer.com/pages/shade-cloth

    • @JB-sz3yw
      @JB-sz3yw 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for your response but they only have 50% & 30% only in white. I think 30% is to low & 50% to much. Is there a difference between a black shade cloth cloth & white shade cloth.
