On today's 2 minute garden tip, I share the best way to protect winter and spring crops for the biggest harvests possible. Warm temperatures can ruin cool crops like lettuce, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, peas, carrots, and other cool season garden vegetables, causing them to bolt, flower and go to seed, before maturity, ruining your harvest. But, there is a solution. Using shade cloth keeps heat sensitive plants cool, delaying bolting, saving your harvest. This is how to save your spring vegetable garden from erratic temperature swings and warm temperatures!
