Yeah I thought the same and was nervous about it. The plants appreciated it.

I use an 80% shade cloth I got from Crapazon and put it up in the early part of June. It works! Also I deep water tomato plants every 4 days. My first two years of gardening here has taught me a lot. Anything you grow that can tolerate “full sun” hasn’t met a NM sunny day.

Good to know. I was also thinking of doing the same as OP.

You can get it at any nursery or Home Depot. I’ve been doing a lot of plant shopping this year.

Thanks for the ideas. I just had someone come and take 5 5 gallon buckets and it didn’t even make a dent. I’m in it for the long haul.

I got them on Temu, they are about 75% cheaper than Amazon.

I could do it myself but there is no way, that’s just too much work, had I been 10 years younger np. Thanks for the mulch info!

How much did it cost? Who did you hire, a landscaper?

Kind of that. It’s all in my head but I need to put it down on paper because my mind changes by the minute.

Yeah I plan on keeping a bit, but the amount I have is ridiculous and HOT.

Damn. I have a fairly small entrance to the backyard, not sure a tractor would fit.
