The Drought Proof Garden

This is just an account for me to share my experiences growing vegetables in my backyard gardens located in the hot, dry climate of Sacramento, CA.
I’ll also be plugging my YouTube channel now and then.

I like 50% myself. It seems to take the edge off without slowing growth. Even 30% will be a big help, though.

Cattle panels will definitely be on the supplies list when it’s time to rebuild my gardens.
Best of luck with your tomatoes this season.

For what it’s worth, none of mine have broken or uprooted. Still, it’s a bit anxiety inducing watching them get thrashed around on gusty days.

It’s a useful trick but there are some caveats.
1. Both plants need to be of the same species. You couldn’t pollinate a butternut squash with a zucchini flower.
2. If you’re a seed saver, the next generation might not be a desirable hybrid. A zucchini/acorn cross doesn’t sound great imo.

Thanks. I hope yours produce a good yield as well.
