Shoutout to the trick of hanging shade cloth on my west-facing rail with zip ties
My lettuce kept getting scorched on the balcony by 2pm sun at my place in Tucson, so I clipped a piece of 40% shade cloth right onto the railing with zip ties and a couple binder clips. It dropped the heat enough that my basil came back within about 10 days and nothing bolted. Cost me $11 at the hardware store and took maybe 5 minutes to set up. Is 40% shade too much for cherry tomatoes, or should I leave a gap so they still get some direct light?
