Installing bug netting and shade cloth to try to stop spring veg from bolting

The spring season is usually a roller coaster for us in SC, zone 7A-8B… the temps are low, then high, then low, then high.

The past few years I haven’t been able to harvest my brassicas because it gets too hot and the veggies all bolt (flower and go to seed).

There’s not a lot we can do to stop it, since it is based on the weather and plant DNA, but we can try to delay it a tad. So let’s build a protective garden cover with bug netting for the incoming white spring cabbage moths, and shade cloth to try to stop our veggies from completely bolting.
