This was my experience last year (in Australia) - I didn't start harvesting
habs until march or so.  This year, over wintered the habs and found that
most had set fruit before the real heat of summer hit.  Also moved the
plants so that they're not in direct sun all day - only about half.  Much
larger crops early.  Personal suggestion - try some light shade cloth if the
temperature is really high.

Regards,
Tony
