Just wondering if somebody more learned than i could tell me whether
vegetables grown in the backyard will grow happily under shadecloth or do
they need direct sunlight. Thanks


In high summer in Sydney, shade cloth will protect your plants from burning.
It is not necessary for the rest of the year. Afternoon sun is the real
killer, so it might be useful to angle the shade cloth.
