Keith.......
You need to keep your plants cool during the heat of the day. Overhead
micro sprinklers or misters on a timer that cycles on for 10-15 minutes
every hour (5 minutes every 20 is better) are one way to do the job.
Under leaf watering is another, albeit, higher tech solution (Chris Gregory
or Kevin Smith can fill you in on that method). Some folks use shade
cloth, however, this won't work if you're getting up into the mid to high
90s every day.
Good luck
