It is HOT today, so have some inside time to respond.
RE scheduling, check out the series on newfarm.org

RE heat - my flowers handle heat well. It seems to be the breeze/wind that
wilts them. However, it was really hot this week and it is an hour drive in
midafternoon back home from market. The sunflowers in the closed in pickup
shell did wilt, but recovered when given fresh water and put back in the
cooler. I hesitate to sell them though because I suspect there vase life may
be shortened. Will keep them to see.
