Is this shade too much? Keeping new arugula from bolting...

Hi everyone,
Newbie home gardener, but well aware that arugula does not like super hot direct sun. It's in the mid-80s now here in NJ, so I'd like to keep some newly (~2 wks) transplanted arugula from getting too hot.
I built this shade out of PVC & black ground cover fabric- is the fabric providing TOO much shade here?
