Hey everyone,

I've seen a couple of passing references lately to giving peppers a
little shade when it's hot.  Last one was from Wisconsin where I
wouldn't think it would get all that bad.  I live in Oklahoma where it
just boils in August and always grow my peppers right out in the open -
if they get to looking a little wilty, especially early in the day, I
just give em a shot of water. 
Tomatoes, now, I have to cover with a mesh fabric.

Any comments?  Does some shade have some definite benefits?
