Help - my cucumbers are yellow!!!!
« on: June 05, 2011, 16:19 »
I need some help!  its my first year with a greenhouse, and following potting my cue's they are turning yellow!!!

I think (from checking my every trusty gardening book) that this is sun scortch.... my question is, how can I attach shading material to an aluminium greenhouse?  I have no way of using hooks and eyes and guy ropes as the greenhouse sits in the middle of decking and a wall.... so, I need something to hold it in place on the actual aluminium itself...  unless someone out there knows a better way to shade?  I really want to use netting as I am not a fan of paint.

Thanks in anticipation of your help......
