In Thailand we have to grow most veggies under shade - cos it's always hot. 30C here is considered a day for a sweater and some hot soup. 😆 But my Dutch self is smiling. I make square bamboo frames that sit over the beds - a few feet high - and use slatted bamboo across. Climb beans and pumpkins and cucumbers on the corner posts an let crawl across the top. The pumpkins in particular do really well like that - lots of air around and under the pumpkin, and their leaves provide shade for more tender veggies underneath. Yesterday was so hot (41C) that my avocado tree has burned brown leaves.

I'm so happy it's clouded today and not so hot (about 18°C). Gonna have to take down the shade tarp, though, because it's gonna be like this for 2 weeks, and they need to get enough light.
