Itās too hot too soon, and the garden is feeling it! In todayās video, Iām planting my first tomato of the season, making some micro sprinkler tweaks to dial in the irrigation, and yepā¦ even putting up shade cloth in March. Let me know in the comments how your spring garden is handling the weather ā are you staying cool or feeling the heat?

I had to cover my cucumbers, squash, and lettuce. 82Ā° today
Hi kim good what your 5 vegetables to grow all the timeš
Sunflowers always make an area look good! š» I'd love to see a hummingbird tower! 81 here in Sactown, but it's supposed to get to 83 or so. Tomorrow, it drops down to the high 60s, typical. Most of my plants are under the shade of my tree this time of day, but as I expand, I'll be using shade clothes, inevitably. The micro-spraying looks fairly easy/efficient- cool spinners. Take care š¤
Looks great! Canāt wait until I see what else you grow in the smart pot urban planters. Iāll be building some CG Jerry trollies for mine this weekend. Iām behind a bit.
I like your choices of plants for the raised beds. Would the scallop squash that you like work in that area. It was an abundant spill over in the chill zone. Strawberries will look pretty though. I liked this video how you took us around with you. It was very natural- just working in the garden. š±
