Create a multi-facets plot with common shaded rectangle (geom_rect)

Dear all,

I do apologise in advance but I'm not an R expert (at all). I used R rarely and the last time, I had to convert my data as tibble in order to plot them correctly, and now I did the same but I believe it would be better to convert them into POSIXct (but I don't know how to do it :confused: )
I have this csv:

Now...
So far I managed to get them into the plot style I need, using the following code:

a=read.csv("C:/Users/simon/Desktop/4.csv")
b=a
c=b %>% 
    mutate(Date = dmy_hms(Date)) %>% 
    arrange(Date) %>% 
    as_tbl_time(index = Date)
df=c
df_melt = melt(df, id= "Date")
d=ggplot(df_melt, aes(x = Date, y = value)) + 
    geom_line() + 
    facet_wrap(~ variable, scales = 'free_y', ncol = 2)
d+theme_bw()

``
Which gives this:

I know, it's absolutely horrible, but it was the only way I remember. What I do really need is to add a shaded rectangle in every plot (at the same date); something like this, for instance:

.

Could you kindly help me with this matter, please?
I don't mind changing the data format to POSIXct (if required for ggplot), anything really, as long as it looks like this.

Thanks a lot!

P.S. I don't need the data with the time (i.e., 01:01:01 can be removed if needed!)

Like this?

library(lubridate)
