I will see if I can find pics of the two ways I handle shade.
As you can see, I use both shade cloth and sunflowers. Just depends on the coverage you need etc.... in this case the shade cloth for squash so it does double duty of both shade and preventing infestation of stink/squash bugs.
There are also squash planted without a cover and those I will use to get zucinni and yellow crooknecks as long as I can, then once the bugs kill them I take them out and open this shaded side. I'll get at least an extension of 2-3 weeks this way. The same idea should work for peppers too, just leave the sides open.
