About this episode
Do your transplants struggle when planted out in the extreme summer heat? Have you had to delay putting your fall cool flower transplants in the ground due to extended warm weather? Today, Lisa and Layne discuss how to protect your transplants in extreme heat with a "suncap". They cover what a "suncap" is and when you may want to install it, the benefits of using insect netting, installation tips, how and when to remove it, and more.
