I need a replacement top for my EZUp, and am looking at a bright yellow one. I remember that some colors enhance the appearance of vegetables, and others have a negative effect. But, I don’t remember which colors do what. Anyone know whether yellow is good, or just stick with white. I don’t like the deep shade under a dark color, but would like something that stands out from the crowd a little.

 

Yes – cool weather.  I like it but many of my crops do not. BUT, I have the nicest cauliflower by far than ever before. Cassius, which is highly rated. But this year isn’t really testing it. But the heads are huge and gorgeous. For that matter, my Early Jersey Wakefield has gotten huge also.

 

Thank you.
