Is it bad to water the plants during the day? I water it in the mornings but it just so hot, so i water throughout the day.

I found that in hot conditions with relentless sun exposure, cucumber leaves wilt as a protective measure. The soil has plenty of moisture and watering doesn't help.
Some options are to apply shade cloth or Surround clay.
Next time I grow cucumbers, I will do so in a container and, as the season progresses, move the container closer to the house under an eave as the days grow longer.
