    here is one of the plants. Sorry, no idea why it's on its side!

    Which way does that window face?  The first ten days or so of June were ridiculously hot … in a greenhouse I would’ve used some form of shading … I wonder if it could be some sort of sun scald 🤔

    It's roughly south facing. I could move them to the other side of the conservatory if necessary. Would that be good?

    I used to grow toms in a conservatory, and I kept a lot of them on the cooler, east facing side of it. The front faced west and got the sun from early until late. Too hot for them on that side. 

    I start mine off on the [ south facing] kitchen windowsills here, and this year I had to pull the blinds down on many occasions to protect them.  
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I’d give it a try if I were you 😊
