You can't even buy nursery stock in the summer, Gene, All it takes is 2-3 back-to-back 115 + degree days to kill every plant. I've had a few plants to survive the summer, some years. Uusually they don't. And, to answer your question, I have been doing this for too many years. Using shade cloth and anything else I can think of to defeat the sun.
Usually I just wait for the nursery stock to show up at the end of the summer, but it has been showing up so late the past few years , I wanted to get an early start this fall by planting seeds inside now....bobford
