Top 8 Vegetables You Can Easily Grow in 100+ Degree Hot Summers



John from http://www.growingyourgreens.com/ shares with you his top 8 favorite edible plants that he grew this summer with average temperatures of 100 degrees over the entire summer.

In this episode, John will take you around his backyard raised bed desert garden and share with you many fruiting crops, leafy green crops and even a tuber crop that can easily thrive in 100+ degree weather.

After watching this episode, you will learn some of the most heat tolerant vegetables and varieties you will want to grow in the hot summer or if you have high temperatures for sustained peroids of time.

While I do cover the varieties that perform well in the heat for me, this also takes into consideration my other gardening practices that are critical for your success in these extreme conditions:
1. proper watering
2. growing in high quality soil including rock dust, worm castings, compost with compost tea added. Healthier plants are more tolerant of external stressors (bugs, disease, weather, sun, etc)

    Watched this just before going into my community garden center and found red mama at spinach seeds! Thank you for that tip!

    I'm in northern Arizona and I grow malabar spinach year round inside,along with jewels of opar which are not only edible but gives me pretty flowers. I also grow sprouts and microgreens. I have several pots and just filled a planter with malabar seeds. And the great thing about them is they don't need full sun, I plant them pretty thick,I let them grow as tall as my window then let I cut them back and they send out more shoots. They do fine with the cold in the winter,they just slow down is all. I live in my airstream at six thousand feet altitude. I only use the heat at night if it gets below 20 degrees F so it does get pretty chilly at night but we all survive just fine. I actually breath better when it's cold and it sure saves on the heating bill. Hopefully my solar will be working again soon so I don't have to use propane

    I feel very over whelmed with figuring out how to start… im so all or nothing. One of my mental hurdles is not knowing exactly when to put things in the ground… i need a calandar based on az weather on which tasks i shpuld be doing this week! You inspire me… ive watched so many of your videos im struggling to put them all together and get growing… :/

    can I grow cucumbers in a shaded carport or do they always need to be in direct sunlight?

    Thank you for the tips! I'm starting the malabar from seed in my window and plan to order Jerusalem artichoke soon. Will probably grab all these plants because it is hot as Hades in Texas this year and I can't get a lot of anything going no matter how much I toil and water

    I accidentally have Surinam Spinach . I've been growing it as a bonsai because the root is interesting. I will plant it in the ground. Thanks for the advice.

    everything ive tried to grow in AZ just dehydrates and crumbles once it goes outside in 100+ degree heat

    I feel sorry for you, moving to the dessert when you're way into growing greens. About as sorry as I do for me, trying to grow stuff in Phoenix.

    I had Surinam Spinach come up in a pot and now it’s everywhere. We are trying to contain it in one bed. I have been researching it. It’s also called Jewel of Opar and Water spinach. There is an Oxalate warning if you have gout, arthritis or kidney stones. Oxalates dissolve easily if you boil briefly and drain, like you should with Mustard and collard greens. I saw that the root can be cooked in stews like a potato. I boiled, drained then fried some and it was very potatoes like. The jewel like seeds can be made into a flour. The plant is high in omega3 oils and is a cousin to Purselane . It is considered a survival food. Love your videos! You are awesome!

    That's right don't pull 'em transplant them to pots . I did this with my Cherokee purple tomato had tomatoes in December ! Put them out after frost and I'll have tomatoes in fall , and take em back in for winter. I want to see how long I can keep em going ! Happy gardening y'all !
