Value of shade growing veges in summer

[Grub80]

Hi all, thought I would share of my learnings of the value of shade this summer and the photos. Im picking about 4kgs of tomatoes every 3-4 days off 8 plants. I tend to leave the old leaves on for protection. I’ve  tried to not use any sprays or dust this year. But the odd Tom gets eaten, but well worth the sacrifice. Got one today though 👍

the 1st photo shows the plants in full sun, I’ve left these to see how they go. They are a different variety, Roma’s, but I’m picking fruit today and will have some to go.

for all of you that have grown Veges this summer and have had results, Well Done. I think anyone deserves a medal in this extreme summer heat.Full sun, no shadeGot one!Still flowering and fruiting
