Not sure I understand your comment. Frosting occurs mainly at night so if the plants then get warm sunshine on frosted leaves they defrost quickly causing more damage than if it happens more gradually with later sunshine. This is the reason why you're never supposed to plant things like camellias where they get morning sun as the flower buds get damaged but it can also happen with leaves.
All I am saying is that through the main Summer, hopefully sunny months (June ,July and August) frost is not a key issue.

My plot has sun from sunrise to about 4 pm. (roughly 8 hours+) in summer
The plot on the oposite corner has sun from noon until sundown roughly 8 hours+ in summer.
Should make for an interesting comparison.

My back garden gets morning sun and evening sun in summer, no sun at all October to May. What I've noticed is that everything leans and grows to the east, so it's my belief plants do most of their active growing in the morning. By afternoon they are thirstier, so less moisture for growth and phototropism, they consolidate the growth they've made.
