Not Snow

Parts of my garden are under a white blanket, but it is definitely not snow!

Some of the smaller plants are not coping well with the heat, but shielding them from the sun with white fabric seems to help a lot. The fabric is a some polyester crepe that was in the cabinet I saved from a skip last month. It would be horrible to wear because it seems completely impervious to water vapour, but that very characteristic makes it successful at protecting plants from desiccation.
