protecting plants from the heat

We’re away, so there’s shading over the greenhouse, timed irrigation in the greenhouse and raised beds. I’ve moved the smaller pots to the North side and put them in very large trays of water.
The rest is up to DS watering visits.

I soaked mine last night , mulched them with home made compost then watered again this morning . I've got pumpkins and sunflowers all grown from seed , so don't want to lose them .

I too have put the parasol over my cucumbers, which were wilting yesterday. Also used the mist function on my hose spray attachment. They recovered beautifully.

I've had to dig up some polyanthus which were dying in a shady border despite watering. They're in a trough now under a canopy. New leaves are appearing, so that's promising.

I moved anything in a pot to a shady spot. My big worry though is some trees I planted a couple of years ago....still just saplings really so not sure how established their root systems are. They are looking quite distressed, leaves turning brown.

Getting lots of exercise moving pots around all day. I put a lot of work into making my pots up I would hate them to perish.

I've moved my house plants away from sunny windows. My succulents like the sun but this is too much. The other leafy plants definitely don't want blazing sun.

Parasols directed at the right angle to block the sun.

Yes, one of my hydrangeas was wilting last night but I drenched it with water in the evening and it's recovered this morning. It would be hard to shield it so I just hope it survives today and I can drench it again tonight.
