Article: If you live somewhere where the summers are scorching, then your garden should be located somewhere in the yard where there’s permanent shade. Start your garden close to the biggest tree in your yard or close to your house so that it’ll constantly be shaded. You can either buy a shade cover or cloth from a local garden center, or you can make your own. Old sheets, old window screens, or narrow panels of wood lattice can all effectively cover and cool the plants in your garden. However, make sure that the cover is kept at least several inches above the plants.  If using a cloth cover, staple each end to stakes placed on either side of the garden. Ideally, covers should block about 50% of the sunlight. Especially if your garden is smaller, placing a patio umbrella right next to the garden is a quick and easy way to provide some shade. Make sure to only do this if the umbrella shades your entire garden. While snow fences are typically used to control where snow does and doesn’t accumulate, they can also do a great job of shading your garden in the summer time. Install a short section of snow fencing near your garden to provide a cooler environment for your plants. Since transplants are younger and less established, they are even more susceptible to struggling in high heat. If at all possible, wait until the hot months of summer have passed before you move them to the garden. If you move your transplants to the garden when it’s really hot, make sure to put them in the shade of other larger plants. This will greatly help in protecting the transplants.

Plant your garden in a shady area. Use shade covers. Provide shade with a patio umbrella. Build a snow fence. Put transplants next to larger plants.
