I was thinking of putting a shade cloth over my vegetable garden, as it’s been SO hot and sunny here (Texas), and my plants aren’t doing too well. I have a whole bed of raspberries that are trying to fruit, but the berries that develop are few and small and sad-looking. The plants look hot and withered during the mid part of the day. Even my sweet potato and oregano leaves are wilting in this heat.
Will shade cloth help my garden? If so, how can I use it effectively? I don’t want to block so much sunlight that the plants can’t produce. I see that there are different kinds that seem to let varying amounts of light through. How do I know what I need for my climate?
