Suggest you try more shading.


Shading not possible as what is my greenhouse is effectively part of the
house and I'm not going to be whitewashing windows. I'm just making sure
that the plants are checked regularly and the compost not allowed to dry
out.


I used to work in a large art studio with one wall almost entirely
glass.If left alone the heat and brightness was intolerable in the
summer so we used to stick large sheets of thin white paper over the
windows and that did the trick.
