     you are much better off not planting things outside   
   at this time of the year that are new starts.  this   
   sort of heat is tough on plants as it is let alone   
   a new plant.   
      
     get them started in pots now, indoors where it is   
   cooler and then plant them out in the fall when the   
   demand upon the plant is less.  you will have a   
   much better chance of having the plant survive next   
   summer.
