Hardening: Groups A, B, and C under thick row cover for all summer hours

It's definitely harder to give the plants the right amount of sun while working, even working from home.

So, today groups A (zinnias), B (everything else), and C (sunflowers) spent the direct-sun hours under the thick row cover.  No direct sun today for any of them.   No row cover for the hours before and after direct sun.

The following plan might be an option for spring 2022 when/if back at the office full time.... here's what the steps could be when I'm forced to leave them in one spot for the entire work day -- do each step for several days:

- Step 1:  Location:  Along fence (full shade).  With a light row cover.

- Step 2:  Location:  Along fence (full shade).  No row cover.

- Step 3:  Location:  A garden bed.  With heavy row cover. 

- Step 4:  Location:  A garden bed.  With a light row cover.

- Step 5:  Location:  A garden bed.  No row cover.  Hardening complete.
