PSA: My balcony tomatoes got fried in a single afternoon heat wave
Last Tuesday in Austin it hit 108 degrees and my full sun setup turned into a plant oven. I came home to find all 12 of my Roma seedlings completely wilted and the soil was bone dry even though I watered that morning. Everyone says more sun is always better, but I think we need to talk about shade cloth for extreme climates. Has anyone rigged up a cheap temporary shade solution for a south facing rail?

Well that's one way to make sun-dried tomatoes. Sounds like @nathanh75 had the right idea with the umbrella, might be time to get creative with some old bedsheets and zip ties before the next heat blast.
