>>1593895Those are looking good. I think the same when my potato plants are in full bloom.
>>1593981>>1594055>>1594241I think it is one of those things where someone is trying to drum up views via finagling of vocabulary. I've been subsistence gardening for decades and have never once heard the term, "growing zone," used in that manner until that video. I've only ever heard it as, "temperature hardiness zone," or simply, "hardiness zone," for short. It is no wonder that 90% of people, "misuse," the term according to him. I use hardiness zone information for all the plants, I have because frost dates for the zone are how I plan out my growing season. Since I'm in Zone 5, I use cultivars of plants that have shorter days-to-maturity or will bloom a bit later in the spring while maturing their fruit early as well all in order to avoid frost damage. Like for trees I tend to get cultivars meant for colder northern zones so that late frosts don't wreck them. Although, I also use polytunnels to help extend the season on both ends. With those I can often times get multiple harvests of the same crop. If I lived in Zone 8, Christ I'd have polytunnels up all winter growing tomatoes 365 days of the year.
The main problem with that video should be apparent fro the patronizing title that gives no info at all and tries to hook you into watching it. It is typical clickbait fodder that wastes 10mins of your life for views.
>>1594140If they are int he full sun, give them some shade using a shade cloth. I find that cheap grey conduit pipe bent into a hoop standing on posts makes for a very good frame to easily pull cloth, netting, and plastic over. The posts are only used for plants that grow tall, when I want a narrow footprint. Otherwise, I stick two pipes together for a larger arc.
