My “yarden” (my coined word) needs lots of attention. Numerous hours are spent researching information (and documented on Casual Approach Rejected Entirely). I recently learned the heat may have attributed to fewer blooms on tomato plants. I’m continuing my unscientific experiment today. I want to document the heat under shade cover. I’m using three different sources; perhaps an “average” will provide a reasonably accurate answer to my question??

The temperature is consistent on above three thermometers. Below, the experiment begins (at 10:30).

satisfaction with my unscientific experiment showing temperature for planters in the shade. Remember, that area is “boxed in” by storage building, tarp shelter and trailer home–and article labeled this as “urban heat island.”
