Wind is one of the biggest struggles for new gardeners, but dealing with EXTREME HEAT ☀️🔥 is another problem we face in the desert. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZ6BdbCd267YcZs.html Be sure to watch this video on protecting your garden from extreme heat

Just started gardening and I planted cucumber, zucchini, and squash. After 2 months the plants were healthy. Today there were winds of 25 to 30 mph. A lot of wind damage to the leaves, but I staked the main stem. Hopefully they will recover. Thank you for the tips on protecting the plants from the wind. I am learning as I go and your tips helped!

The wind is so strong here in Texas the containers will be blown off. Every day the wind comes and at night it’s calm. I’m using makeshift stakes made from cattails I got out of my pond and weathered/dried stalks of plants I’ve found.

Great idea using the cattails as stakes!

Thank you! I have the same exact issues, high winds and incredible heat. I was blessed with a pop up tent frame, and I've located it near the back of my house where it has protection from the west (for the most part) some shade on the east under a tree I have, and I was wondering what I could use around this frame. I did plan on using shade cloth for the top for the super 100 temps, but now I'm thinking shade cloth all the way around... My plants are still small right now so I'm still in the planning stages. Thank you again :)

Shade cloth works great as a wing break. Thanks for watching 😊🌱

So we just had a strong wind and I wasn't ready for it. I have butternut and winter squash growing. Along with black and kidney beans. The stems are ok but it did a number to the leaves. They look all shriveled up. Will my squash and beans still grow? What can I do at this point? Thanks for the video. I saw this a bit late.😢

Our winds are nearly constant - none of these would work for us :( About 70% of the time we have wind of 10mph or more, about 60% of the time wind of 15mph or more and gusts of 20mph at least on day a week - shade cloth constantly would mean not enough light for our growing plants. The only one that might work in there is the cages

We have winds that blow a lot of blossoms clear off the plants, which reduces fruit yield by like 90% sometimes. Is shade cloth enough to prevent this?

@InTheGarden 2 жыл бұрын

I think the shade cloth does a really great job, but it may be necessary to surround the entire garden (top and all sides) if your wind is that bad. I did this at first and the wind was pretty much non-existent inside. I found that it was more than I needed so now I just place it along one side.

I’m at my cousins house now an it got really windy I put my plants in a big vase with rocks so the wind want get it it helps but idk it’s realllly windy

@InTheGarden 3 жыл бұрын

It is very windy today! started last night at my house. 15-25mph sustained winds with gusts of 40mph. This is typical for spring in the desert. One of the most challenging and frustrating parts of gardening here. Using vases is a good idea! anything to block the wind. even something that slows down the wind a bit will help. Hope all your plants are doing good!

Wish I saw this before I threw away my Serrano plant. It was super windy and the leaves shriveled up and dried up and assumed the plant itself died 😓

What to do if the root already broke ?

@InTheGarden 3 жыл бұрын

It depends on the type of plant. Things like peppers and melons are difficult to save if the main stem is broken. Tomatoes However can easily be re-rooted and planted, check out this video for info on how to do that kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grWVqqdiq7Sqp40.html
