ive grown tomatos at 95
Heyy..
i live in AZ and its terribly HOT and DRY here..
About 110 everyday in summer..
One of the easiest plants I’ve grow here are Melons!
Surprisingly, Watermelons grow the absolute best!
Here in AZ we have terrible clay/sand Soil..
but my Watermelon vines THRIVE.
Just Stick seeds into some dirt..and always keep it moist. The seeds sprout in about 2 weeks..and it a couple months you get DELICIOUS Watermelons.
No fertilization!
(I’ve tried to grow tomatoes..but they turn out very tiny..and Little buggies always eat them)
Hehe.. I’m 13 and Ive grown melons up to 20lbs Each
I love growning Melons
GOOD LUCK
(Cantaloupe Works VERY Well too..but i don’t like eating them!)
Corn. Beans. How about Okra? Melons.
Just be sure to water deeply enough. And try putting up a shade structure. Lie a hoop house whith shade cloth on it. Helps alot. And MULCH HEAVY.
Most plants just rest foir a while when it gets over 86F, so don’t freak if they look a little wilted in the midday. Just be sure they are well watered and they will perk back up.
eggplant, okra, aubergine, birds-eye chillies, jabeneros and avocados grow very well in hot areas. but make sure the soil is good and rich if not, invest in some good organic compost and water the plants regularly
Eggplant
Okra
Chili Peppers
Tomatillos (husk tomatos)
Squash and Loofahs
Basil
Unfortunately it’s too hot to get these started growing. Next year, start earlier :0
Corn, Tomatoes, and Okra are traditional hot weatehr vegetables.
100 every day???!!!!!!
I guess Nopale is the best vegetable for your neighborhood
I heard Melons love the heat
I’m in GA.I have a garden year round.Summertime…squash,zuchini,cucumb… eyed peas,beans,melons,corn
I wish I knew I live in the desert with bad soil and 110 + suring the summer. I think you need to grow thingd indoors check with a nursery in your area. Home depot & walmart garden centers may help to
You can try potatoes i think they grow well in hot areas.
If i’m not wrong, tapioca grows well in hot weather. You can also try corn.
Potatoes are the best
water melons grow just fine in poor soil and heat.
and who doesnt like water melons??
