Placement of greenhouse

Hi
i have a plastic greenhouse that i grow quite a lot of things in last year. I am just wondering if it is in the right place. Currently it gets the sun all day but with days like today were it is hot and sunny everything is looking a bit dryed out and wilted. Would it be better in a different location?

    Probably in location where it gets morning sun but not hot afternoon sun, if you have a choice, most folk do not and resort to "whiting" the glass / plastic

    Ventilation is paramount in summer sun, sadly lacking in a lot of plastic greenhouses

    It should be fine in full sun if you remember to roll up the door first thing in the morning on hot days.

    Do not apply whitening to plastic, as it will not come off some plastics.
