Square Foot Gardening

Shade????

20 years ago

Hey, I posted a question the other day about my new SQ.Ft. garden... someone suggested that I give them some shade to help with transplant shock... (it's REALLY HOT here w/ the high today at 97. Should I keep the shade on them all day or just for a few hours during the hot part of the day? Iv'e rigged up something that may work.... It's just old bedsheets held up by stakes.

What do you guys think of this idea?

I would keep it on all day, and gradually reduce the time over the next week.
