Re:CULT:hot summer areas and potting. .


Hello Walter:
       I read with interest your reply to Vicki about "a potting procedure I 
like." Could you expand on this? I too, am in a hot area, (El Paso) and am 
already seeing the effects of the hot afternoon sun on my vegetable garden. 
What size pots are you using and I would assume you are using plastic - 
right? What are you using as a potting medium? Thanks!
