You always hear about people loving the fall season because of the colors. People love winter because of the snow and the holidays. People love spring because of the mild temperatures and new growth. And people love summer because of the warm-weather activities such as swimming and vacations...and, of course, gardening!
Of course, a super-hot summer can be tough on gardens. The nice temperatures of late spring and early fall are easy on your plants, but the direct heat of the summer sun can bake the ground and wither the leaves of garden plants. Here are some of the most common garden tools that people are stopping by frostproof for this time of year.
While many plants’ instructions might say “full sun,” that doesn’t mean that the sun is all it needs! Many plants are only able to handle that full sun if they get the right amount of water to hydrate their cells and keep from drying out.
Frostproof Growers Supply keeps a huge selection of watering tools so that gardens (both vegetable and flower) can be kept wet when the summer sun is at its hottest. Here are some of the best.
Shade cloth is knitted or woven cloth that reduces the amount of sunlight that’s reaching particular plants. While some sunlight is necessary for all plants to grow, there are certain plants that will wilt before they get a chance to establish roots and start drawing moisture from the soil. Shade cloth is also a great option to protect the plants and the soil from too much water loss. After all, less sun hitting an area means less evaporation.
Shade cloth is usually used at the beginning of the season to protect plants in their early growing stages. But some plants will need shade cloth even after they’ve taken root, and the shade cloth Frostproof offers is a great option to knock down the sun’s heat and radiation by between 30% and 90%.
Frostproof Growers Supply has many ways to keep your plants cool and ensure that they’re getting the water they need. We want your plants to thrive, and that means having the right garden tools on hand to make sure they do so. Click those links above to find the best gardening tools to get you through the summer!
