3 QUICK WAYS TO PROTECT YOUR PLANTS FROM THE SUN
When you’re growing a vegetable garden, protecting your plants is your No. 1 priority. So, what are the simplest ways to protect your veggies from sun and heat? Lay down a layer of grass mulch. After mowing the yard, save some grass clippings and put down a layer around your garden plants. This keeps the soil cooler and reduces ground evaporation, which helps keep plants extra hydrated on hot days.
Give plants a little shade. Using wood stakes or dowels, put together a makeshift tent using bedsheets, towels, or any other covering. The shade shouldn’t be extensive — just enough to reduce the harshness of the sunlight a few hours a day. Water in the mornings/evenings. This also helps keep plants extra hydrated when they need it most. Plus, it reduces evaporation before the plants can make the most of the water.
