I'm so glad I found this since I live in Central Texas where too much sun is also a problem in summer. I discovered accidentally that afternoon shade was the key for many plants to continue producing.
This is my first year using shadecloth here in TX. My plants are not burning up like they did last year and I'm not having to water as often. Loving the shadecloth.
Nice!
“Anyone who has followed the full sun directions meant for other climates...” 😂🤣
Girlfriend, you had me cracking up on that one...being in S FL I can attest that is so true! I read the planting guides on the back of the seed packages and it’s like are these ppl on crack?? No way can I start broccoli In April or whatever. My winter is everyone else’s summer....though I’m gonna try the shade cloth this year & hope for the best.🤞🏻
Thanks for the video.👍🏼
Right?! Thanks for watching!
As always, very helpful and thorough. And perfect timing for us desert folks 🌱☀️
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!
This was our topic of the day. Always such great information.thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
As always I get great information watching your videos. Now I know what to do to protect my plants from the heat. Thank you Angela.
شكرا لك على تقاسم هذه المعلومات المهمة معنا حول أهمية تظليل النباتات لتستمر في النمو و الإنتاج .
Thanks! I am so hoping I don’t lose everything this summer…this is my first year gardening on my patio and I’m learning what will grow best in each location.
I'm so glad to have found your channel. I watch many gardening channels but very few cover the challenges of growing in AZ. I garden in southern AZ, zone 9a. Last summer was brutal due to the lack of summer rains and cooler temps. Hopefully this summer will be better. Keep the info coming.
Welcome aboard!
Very informative film. For sure I'll use shade cloth next year as my cucumbers, lettuce and cilantro had too much sun
You are a terrific teacher! Thank you for helping me grow in Glendale AZ!!!
Thanks so much!
Thank you for such a great explanation of shade! Loved it!!
Thanks for watching!
Great info, i really appreciate your posts. My central CA valley garden needs shade similar to yours.
Thank you. Just what i needed to know.
Gardening advice, you would be my phone a friend for sure.
Thank you! I live in Mesa and I found this video very informative.
So helpful! Thank you. I'm going to start tracking sun/shade to learn my yard :)
Wonderful!
I am so glad I found this channel! I am following you because gardening in Phoenix is a challenge for me and you look like you have figured it out already. So thanks for this channel!
Welcome!
Awesome tips as always thank you so kindly!
You are so welcome!
Awesome video -super informative!! Thank you so much!!
Glad it was helpful!
We were considering not even trying to garden after June. The Phoenix summer of 2020 made it so difficult. But, it’s a new year and you have given some great suggestions. Bring it on 🤠.
It's not for everyone, but it is possible. Best of luck to you.
When we visited AZ worm farm they said you don't want to leave your soil dormant - that it needs the plants to keep the microbes alive. I love Angela's videos too, such great info
Angela, thank you for all you do for us arizona gardeners by sharing your knowledge. Are you going to do a what to plant this month for April? I am moving into my house tomorrow and look forward to starting my garden here in April!
Just posted: ua-cam.com/video/wAP3jpBtz0k/v-deo.html
Excellent information, so well done. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I was glued to this video! I don't live in Arizona but Northern Utah gets extremely hot and dry! Last year my garden burned (literally) to death. We've had 2 weeks of 100+ degree weather and I am going to install shade cloths this weekend!
Best of luck to you! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for letting us know where you are. I'm in south-central Texas and can relate to sixty consecutive days over 100 degrees. Great video!
Thanks so much.
Grrrreat video! Thank you!
Thanks for the very useful tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Your garden is amazing 💖
Thank you so much 😊
Great, thorough video!
Glad it was helpful!
You are very very informative thank you for all of your knowledge that you share so nicely with all of us God bless you
Thanks for watching!
Thank you 😊
We need to make a shade for our garden too. This is helpful. Thanks 👍Beautiful garden you have❤️
So nice of you, thanks.
Thank you sooo much! I have been looking for a video just like yours explaining what to shade in the garden and how. Here in Australia, central Victoria, our summers can get up to 47 deg Celsius, which is way over 100deg F. In summer the sun is high and the garden is in full sun in some parts, as some gardeners suggest for growing some vegetables and fruit but the sun can be so intense and literally burn the leaves and fruit. I now realise we must have hot Arizona summers like you. However this summer it was unseasonally cooler as we only reached 40deg Celsius- but I still was forced to use shade cloth over the blackberries.
Shade definitely can make a difference in the high heat for sure.
I love the images you added! I took several screenshots, but I saved the video on a playlist because I know I’ll be coming back to it. West Texas sun is pretty tough! 🥵 Thank you for the videos, they’re always so helpful and inspiring.
Thanks so much. The blogpost has the infographics as well if that helps: growinginthegarden.com/how-to-create-shade-in-the-garden/
This too helped me.
@@GrowingInTheGarden Great tip. Just signed up.
Great info, thank you for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank-you we are now in Autumn here so I’ll try these tips for next summer thanks for the video big love and support from Melbourne xxx
The definitions for exposure are flipped for you. Sorry I didn’t address that in the video... I’m sure you know that though. Enjoy your cooler weather!
@@GrowingInTheGarden sure do :) Thanks for the lovely videos x
An excellent video, thanks! I'm subscring to your channel and look forward to watching more of your videos!
Thanks for the video! Another interesting aspect is gardening at high elevation. I’m up here in Show Low at 6800’. Even tho it is usually in the high 80’s at most, I use shade cloth due to the intensity of the sun. Yes, the higher the elevation the more intense the UV rays. 🤷🏼♀️ And the fact that my garden gets no shade during the day whatsoever. Shade cloth saved my garden last year!
Good point.
Oh i needed this🙌🔥
Best of luck to you!
Thanks for making this informative video . It’s so helpful for me as a rookie.
Glad it was helpful!
So helpful. Thankyou ! I'm growing in Tasmania, way south of the equator but the sun gets very intense here in Summer. 🙏🏼👍
Thank you ,learning so much
You are very welcome
Thank you, Angela. I’ve already started looking for shade cloth here in SoCal. Everyone was sold out last year.
It was a crazy year!
Good video! Your video is very informative, with the relevant information relating to the subject-matter clearly and well presented Thank you for creating and posting your video on UA-cam.
Much appreciated!
I recently followed, loving the visuals, details, and thank you! Here in north Phoenix. 🎃🌵
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Great video. Thanks for posting.. I use the shade of the oak trees in my yard to protect my garden from the late afternoon west sun. Zone 9b central Florida. Growing food outdoors in raised beds 365 days a year.
Great tip! We are lucky to get to grow year round!
Solid tips that i think i can use here in Texas, Thank you
Glad to help, thanks for watching.
Oh em gee this was amazing. I am in Alabama where it gets humid and in the 100’s. I’m in 8a and our Spring is a short one and it stays hot in the fall as well. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you Angela, informative as always. What kind of posts are the ones with the black balls on top? I like the look of those and would like to get some. Thank you.

AWESOME VIDEO!🌻
❤FROM DALLAS TEXAS
Thanks for watching!
Wow! An outstanding video explaining why so many of the vegetable plants shriveled and died in the intense heat found in the southern exposure of my garden. To think that the addition of a shade would have made a difference.
Thanks so much.
This is great information! Thank you Angela! Could you give me an update on your dahlia please? I'm so excited for you!
The plants are growing well, no blooms yet but the plants are about 8-10 inches high.
@@GrowingInTheGarden I'm doing a happy dance! 💃💃💃
🐞experience Sounds great 👍
Thank so much.
The sun has killed my plants for the last 2 years running. This is *so* timely for me!
It's tough for sure.
I have used some old landscape fabric that has some holes....as temporary shade cloths.....or small blankets, up off my plants during hot time of day. I remove the following morning. Using only if temps get very very hot. Thks for your guidance!! Ahna Atlanta/Georgia
I put up a structure to support a shade cloth. It was difficult and I was doing it alone! I wanted something that I could pull back over the top, like a curtain, only suspended above the plants. I had a lot of sagging so I had to 'fix' that problem. Didn't work like I wanted but I did get something up. I have direct sun all day and wide open space and no trees for dappled sun. Think I'm going with 8 ft, T-posts now because it can be easy-up, easy-down.
New to your channel. Second summer in Utah and using shade cloth, it helps so much! Love your rebar structure, hoping there is a video about it? If not what is the top part made of? The "cover" for the rebar that keeps it from poking through the cloth?
ua-cam.com/video/gMW99neaPpc/v-deo.html this video has more info about the trellis
I love your videos! I am new to gardening in AZ (Tempe!) and have learned so much. I look forward to every new post. :) I am wondering what you think about growing vegetables under tree shade? particularly dappled light like palo verdes create?
It's difficult to compete with tree roots at times.
@@GrowingInTheGarden Thanks! I hadn't thought of that. I am just seeing this so feel free to ignore this same question in the comments on another video.
You could use grow bags or pots under the trees
Hello Angela at minute 8:50 you show some rolls of shade cloth in a store. What store was that? Thanks! Your videos have been an amazing guide and I share them all the time.
A&P Nursery
Great information! If I may ask - what are the dimensions for the trellis you have attached to block walls (the steel mesh ones installed via screws). We are thinking of getting them but not sure to build them 1. which can be tied directly to cinder blocks or 2. the one which go in ground and stand parallel to block wall
They are 8' by 4'
The grid I see in your boxes, is that a watering system or other? Thanks in advance!!
Great video! I was distracted at times by admiring the trellises. Where did you find those?
www.twobrothersmetalworks.com/
Will you be creating a video on blackberries in Arizona? (searched but didn't find one!) That is something that I would love to add to my garden!
Good idea!
I just watched one of your videos from almost a year ago and I’m so interested in your espaliered trees!! Please show us how to do it!
I purchased them already espaliered. I can do a video sometime on their care.
Please do a video on espalier trees. I found some fruit and camellias at a nursery that were already started as an espelier tree but I’d like to know how to care for one and possibly do it myself to save the additional upfront costs.
You're dope thank you
Thanks for the video. Does the shade cloth extend to the side or just on top?
You can extend it over the side to block morning or afternoon sun if you would like.
Hi Angela, you have some really great shade structures in your garden! I know some were custom made for you by a friend. Are any of the options shown available somewhere? I really like what you show at :19 - :24, the simple black posts that appear to be inside the bed topped with what looks like round finials holding the shade cloth on. Is that something I might be able to find online?
That is from Gardener's Supply. I believe they still sell it.
well thank u, you answered many of my questions with this video I only have one more, what do you do with a peach?ita pretty big now and the leafs and fruits get burned 🥺, we live in Tij (close de San Digo) and my plants are burning on june & july, I hope to do better this 2021🏅👌🤓
I don't shade my peach trees. Encourage a nice deep root system with regular deep watering and mulch the tree well.
Can you tell me about your trellises! Did you build them? Thank you!

Tk😄
Thanks for watching.
Where did you get your arched trellises? What do you like or dislike about them.

Hello! Im a beginner gardener here is AZ and im haveing a bit of trouble with gnats!! Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Let the top inch of soil dry out a bit - that may help. I also use these traps amzn.to/2QXFTXo and this blog post may help growinginthegarden.com/organic-pest-control-that-really-works/
Hi Angela, I live in Gilbert and started growing tomatoes a few months ago. When do you think we should add shade to the tomatoes? It's only early June but it will be over 110f next week. Thanks!
Once daytime temps are consistently above 100°F if they don't naturally receive afternoon shade then go ahead and add it.
Do you have a suggestion on what percentage shade cloth to use on fruit trees. I have mostly stone fruits.
I don't shade my fruit trees.
Do you have suggestions for percentage of shade cloth for the high desert (Mojave desert).
Typically 40-50% is good for most vegetables. Check with local gardeners to see what they use in your area to be sure.
Can you use bubble wrap for shading? Thanks for the vid.
Interesting idea... do you have a lot of extra bubble wrap that you need to use up? I'd choose something else if you can.
@@GrowingInTheGarden Thank you! I have tons of bubblewrap. It was used during the spring (Zone 9) to protect my lettuce and it WORKED GREAT. So now I'm trying it for the summer garden. Thanks again.
Thank You for your videos. I seem to have problems with Rosemary plants, here in Arizona. Is there a secret to this plant?
Here's an article with tips: growinginthegarden.com/how-to-grow-rosemary-5-tips-for-growing-rosemary/
Where did you get those tall, narrow metal arched trellises?
www.twobrothersmetalworks.com/
I’ve been trying to figure out a good solution for a shade structure and can’t seem to find out what everyone is using or where to get it! What did you use to build your shade structures/trellises?
Several of mine are made of rebar by a welder. Here is one from Gardeners that comes with a support: www.gardeners.com/buy/shade-kit-4-x-8/8598156.html
The shade cloth I bought from HD says it blocks 90% of UV rays. Is that percentage we are looking at when deciding which shade cover to use? Because with it up it is clearly not blocking 90% of the light. Maybe half the light is being blocked.
We are in Bakersfield Ca. Pretty hot dry summers here. 95-105 is pretty common.
Angela, I'm in Chandler and I'm going to be out of town for 10 days in July. Can I put up the shade and leave it up for that time? How would that impact my plants?
It would probably be helpful to have the shade up while you are gone.
I’m so confused as per my compass on my phone it’s opposite w the sun and shade or is it because it’s the end of feb?
In south Florida, I need shade cloth starting late February. There's no way around it. Tfs Angela.
It heats up quickly for sure. Best of luck to you.
We have okra and it's still wilting from the sun! Is it a specific type of okra
Hello, I’m Canadian in Southern Japan. I’m growing a lot of watermelon this summer. It’s late July and 42C (105F). I hear watermelon likes full sun, but I wonder how much sun and heat is too much? Do you think watermelon would benefit from shade cloth or is it unnecessary? The watermelon is growing in a south-facing location where it receives full sun almost all day. Do you figure the shade cloth is required or not?
Can Passionfruit vines take full sun in phoenix? I'm thinking of growing it over a trellis to protect my little garden patch.
I think as long as it gets plenty of water it should be fine. I will soon put in a passion fruit plant and Ive been worrying about shade but honestly, it’s impossible to shade passion fruit if it’s a spot that gets full sun or half day full afternoon sun because the vines grow 40 feet wide or more
They are pretty tough. They can tolerate it but also do well in areas with less sun. Keep them well watered and well mulched.
where in the valley is the shade cloth from? looks like a local store you can get a custom size.
A&P Nursery in Mesa
Hi, my husband and I want to start a vegetable garden here in Mesa AZ. We have a very small backyard. The only area we have gets alot of morning sun but not after noon sun all year round. Will this scenario be okay or will this not be enough sun?
Morning sun and afternoon shade is ideal. Hopefully your area gets at least 6 hours of sun.
Will the cattle panel will be too hot for the plants to climb during the hottest time comes summertime? I’m in zone 9b. Thanks.
It seems to be fine.
Angela, where do you get your shade cloth? I live in East Mesa.
I like getting mine on Amazon amzn.to/3fnAinl
Thanks, got some!
what shade cloth can we use for tropical fruit trees ???
Good question. I don't do tropicals, so I'm not sure.
My house shades all the garden after 2:30 pm. Is that early enough or it needs shade at noon?
Do you talk about this in your book?
My book is about container gardening, not Arizona specific. Shade after 2:30 is probably ok - see how your plants do. If they aren't tolerating it then consider adding some.
I'm in Texas but basil leaves get scotched...
Do your metal trellises ever get hot enough to burn your plants?
Hasn’t been an issue - the trellis is usually covered by plants, especially in the summer.
In Arizona plants can't hide from 115F so shading doesn't help
It's hot for sure.
Doesn’t the shade cloth inhibit pollinators
Keeping it a couple of feet above the plants helps with that.
I too have learned that full sun doesn’t mean full sun in Alabama Summer time.
Heat can be intense for sure.
What shade cloth manufacturer would you recommend to buy from as its hard to know which brand is good. Looking for a 40% sunblock shade cloth UV resistant as well. I don,t see any in my local big box stores.
Bootstrap farmer has good products - you can see their shade cloth here: www.bootstrapfarmer.com/pages/shade-cloth
Thank you for your response but they only have 50% & 30% only in white. I think 30% is to low & 50% to much. Is there a difference between a black shade cloth cloth & white shade cloth.
Why is it important not to let the shade cloth touch plants?
Can damage plant tissue, cause pest issues. Good airflow above plants is important.
