And the dyed black mulch will heat up pretty good also.....I use the mulch also and see your young plants look just like mine. If you lay a thermometer on it you will see what I mean...my guess+-20 degrees from the grass temp.
It is a landscape tradeoff once your plants get established next year they will not be bothered as much by the additional heat the black mulch absorbs from the sun.......sometimes mine gets so hot I can barely walk on it barefoot .
On the other hand your patio is making a good heatsink too
You might have noticed that your hostsa get stressed as it heats up also, mine do too.
Your stuff looks nice.
