Protect Plants with a Living Screen.

protective screen and growing space
for spring and summer plants
As cool spring weather moves to hot summers, some plants thrive while others wilt.  To get the most out of the overlap between the cool and warm weather, plant sun and heat loving summer plants in a way that they protect cool spring plants from the sun.  This will extend the growing season for the cool weather plants a bit, and ensure that you get a few more harvests out of them.


There are several hardy vining flowers and vegetables that thrive in hot days with full sun, growing quickly and producing well, while the spring plants suffer and wilt.  However, careful planting can make use of the quick growing nature of summer plants by planting carefully to extend the life of spring plants while giving room to the hot weather loving plants.
