I have the same sun exposure at my house. Last year I did well with Armenian cukes, melon and greens. This year I'll add yellow pear tomato which has always done well in the heat. You will definitely need shade cloth to get you through the summer.
I agree with Rachel. If you started peppers from seed right now you would have approx 8 weeks to wait before transplanting. By that time it would be April and to late (in my opinion) to get into the ground. My suggestion is to buy transplants this y…
Early Girl - Hands down one of the best tomatoes for our valley and indeterminate.
Let me know if you want any ideas for proven performers of the determinate type.

Thank you Judy. This really helps.
If you can grow armenian cukes you can indeed grow eggplant, peppers, squash, blackeyed peas either bush or vining type on a trellis and tomatoes which will need some shade cloth when it really heats up. You can also plant basil, thyme, and probably…
We just harvested a ton of radishes last week, and today we are picking our lettuce, baby carrots, and snap peas. We've also had a good run of dill.
I am so sorry to hear the things are not going well. Is this your first year for your winter garden? For whatever reason it seems that the first time I amend a garden bed it does not do well. The soil, compost, manure and whatever else goes in likes…
I've been waiting for two months for my garden to take off, and although I have a lot of vegetables, their growth seems to be slower than I would have expected, especially the spinach, lettuce and kale. We have harvested some beautiful radishes, and…
Right now getting a LOT of turnip greens, kale and still getting jalapenos and sweet peppers. Have a stir fry mix ready to start cutting in a few days but the carrots are slow as are beets, fennel, kohlrabi and rapini. Getting a few sugar snaps but…
Nice pics!
Just say YES to greens!!!
Broccli is ready, been eating kale, chineses kale, lettuce, lots of chard, some Sweet 100 tomatoes, cilantro, radishes for about a month now, stilll eating sweet peppers. Garlic is growing well, carrots too, just planted beets new years day. onions…
Fun! I've been harvesting red and white chard for weeks. Love the stuff! Use is raw in green smoothies and have a great easy recipe for a saute. I've never tried cabbage.
I have been harvesting lettuce and chard on a pretty regular basis. My cabbages are small but growing fast I am being patient. Onions are doing well but not harvest ready for awhile.
I finally have cilantro coming up. I just planted chard, collards, kale, pak choi, lettuce yesterday.
I still don't know how you do it Chris. I planted a few plants as an experiment a few months ago. The plants look good they're just not producing much. I've always set out my transplants in mid feb for harvest before the high heat sets in. Is the tr…
