One easy thing to try could be some kind of shade over the plants, as thin 
slats of wood or a coarse cloth that blocks half of the light and lets the 
other half through.

Here in the US it is common for the commercial landscape plant sellers to 
have a "lath house" shaded by the same kind of wooden slats that are used 
for snow fence in the winter (to prevent snowdrifts from developing).  The 
plants underneath do not get as much sun and heat, and they do not dry out 
as fast.

You might also try planting the plants so close to each other that they 
shade each other - when Jim C. grows them in rows in the fields, they are so 
close together that you can hardly see through a row.

Hope that helps.
