Message: [QUOTE="j66kicker, post: 3604491, member: 4447"] Here in AZ I grow 2 veggie crops a year in raised beds (sort of "artificial", but plants don't really occur naturally here). Tomatoes mostly played out by the end of May. Winter kale was done about then too. Got spinach well into June. Pulled up the rest of the beets at the end of June so I could stop watering (water doesn't really occur naturally here either). July-August are 'no grow' months - just takes too much water, and it's too hot for the plants to do anything productive. Even hot peppers, which love the dry heat, shrivel up and go into hibernation. Plant again ~Sept 1. Forecast for next 7 days: 111-109-111-111-116-116-114. In that weather it's a challenge to keep a few annuals alive in pots. Plastic pots stay moist watering once a day. Terra cotta pots need soaked twice a day. So far so good though. [ATTACH type="full"]56255[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
