I was just trying to imagine growing broccoli in July/August here in AZ. It would have to be stir-fried broccoli for sure! It's a winter veggie, wouldn't have a chance in our July and August!
Last year, we had two 2week stretches of over 115 degree weather. That was the worst summer on record but we usually see at least one stretche like that.
Bush beans are a spring crop, they can't survive past May. Only long beans and southern peas will brave summer heat. That, okra and amaranth. Some squashes and melons.
