Amazon has the frost cloth for a lot of you guys that want to protect your plants from sun you can buy them to fit over tomato baskets or buy them by the yardage make your own I bought the ones to fit my tomato baskets because I always put my tomatoes out earlier so they can get sun but keep from being frosted over

If I was just starting (and to a certain extent everyone is just starting as there is always something to learn) I would focus on the high reward items. Tomatoes, potatoes ,beans ,onions,carrots, beets, squash. you can get a lot of great food without too much trouble with these veggies.Then when you have success add from there.

Well this year I’m going to get some big sheets of white gauze to put over my plants when the sun is much too hot, so I won’t get burn spots on the veggies while they are growing. The University Extension Office Gardening Class I took suggested it, as they’d been having to do the same thing, because last year leaves were even getting burned by the sun as well as the vegetables and some fruits. That’s what happens when droughts are in your area, you have to plan for a way to cool down the plants some, while still letting some of the sun in.

Hi Lauralee — thanks for the great suggestion. Did you see NOAA’s Spring 2013 Outlook? They’re saying drought conditions will continue. Thanks also for following us on Twitter and for the retweets!
