Beds covered with shade cloth to protect the squash from early infestation with squash bugs (bed in foreground) and green beans (back bed) from intense heat. Next year, I’ll inter-plant green beans with tomatoes to use them as shade.
Eight-foot high chicken-proof fence.
The Tomato Jungle.
It may be a jungle, but it’s producing well and the plants look extremely healthy.
Bee Balm. While I was down taking these pictures, I noticed a lot of bees flying around. That’s a good thing. Too bad they don’t eat squash bugs.
Your garden is looking really good. The shade cloth looks liek a great idea. Your row cover idea using pvc looks like it would work great. How is the pvc secured? Just stuck in the ground or with some type of clamp?

How’s the bedcover working for keeping the squash bugs off?
