One of my jobs today is to try and figure out a way of protecting my vegetable plants from the sun. They were growing really well but after a very sunny day last week, they all ended up frazzled. The leaves were so dry they crumbled and the lettuces looked like they’d been fried - brown, crispy leaves. I’m new to growing veg so don’t even know if I’m supposed to protect them from blazing sun. I’m sure farmers don’t go out and cover fields of crops with sunscreen, but I need to do something with my little patch
