RE: WHAT GROWS IN JUNE'S UNRELENTING HEAT?

in #homesteading7 years ago

I first started gardening in Texas so I can relate to the heat! My first summer we had 100 days straight over 100 degrees, whew! I had built a wicking bed garden and with a small shade cloth, my swiss chard thrived all summer! In the direct sun, okra, squash and peppers seem to love the heat. It's so hard to stay on top of harvest okra before it gets too big! Haha. Happy growing!

Sort:  

I finally figured out how to keep kale alive until the end of May, thanks to my lady bug friends! Okra is VERY hard to keep up with but in a good way. This is a sweet bantam corn from seeds of change. Thanks for reading!

Yay for our insect friends! I love seeds of change along with baker creek.

Hoping to go to Baker Creeks festival in spring of next year. Hard to travel though with hubbys illness. We'll see....

I've heard great things about that festival! One of these days, I'd love to make it out there as well. I also love Eden Brothers seed which is here near me in Asheville but they sell online too. Tons of great heirlooms!
