We have a really pretty hydrangea in full sun, and on hot days the blossoms curl up in protest. I have taken to covering the plant with a sheet during the worst of the heat, to shade it and to conserve moisture. It looks kind of funny, but it's better than having shrivelled up blossoms. We plan to relocate this shrub to a shadier spot come the fall.

And pole beans Sunshine is pumping out straight yellow beans. They were started on April 7th, and planted in a hot dry corner under the branches of our neighbour's cherry tree. Given that they have to compete with the huge tree for resources I have made an effort to mulch heavily, and I water deeply at least a couple of times a week too.
I’m growing Sunshine too from your gratefully received seeds. Not quite as far advanced as yours (sown 14th May) but growing strongly and not too far behind. Looking forward!
