Making use of these micro climates can help you to maximize your garden’s productivity, and extend your garden’s productive life both earlier and later in the season.
Whether you make use of naturally occurring features in your garden, such as walls, large stones, or shade trees, or you create your own “microclimates” with the use of protective covering, shade cloths, or raised beds, utilizing these warmer or cooler zones to get the most from your garden plants can make a big difference in the productivity of your garden.
