Fruits and Vegetables that you can Grow in the Hot Las Vegas Desert Summer

[@BruceParshall]

Thanks for coming to town. Next time you come, you should let me know ahead of time. I'd buy you lunch and show you my gardens.

Thanks for all that good advice for hot climates! Grapes and figs it is.

They need to give those tomatoes shade this time of year. Thanks for the video John. Some of my family in LV wants to start growing and this will help them out a lot!

Cool to see hot weather plants my garden looks like it is getting too much hot sun more water seems to help

You know, a lot of people in Missouri have had trouble with tomatoes. Mine are setting fruit VERY late. At first I thought it was due to the soil, but then I remembered the heat wave we had in April right after I put them in the ground. It peaked close to the 90's for about a week here. I wonder if that stressed the plants too much right after I transplanted them. One plant that I transplanted in May is doing VERY well.

I'm living in Vegas. I took a selfie with you at the Farmers Market in Summerlin. I was wondering if you could look at my garden. I live in South Summerlin

You can eat marigolds? I didn't know that.

I’m in vegas. Watched this vid to see how things grow here. I want to plant but now I’m even more discouraged. Why do the plants all look so dry and shabby? Is it just the heat or is it the lack of water these plants might be getting?

[@Samoor25]

what kind of grape tree was the one the video?

[@suechen9933]

Hi,John,I got 12 tomato cages from you,and I am putting then into good use. There is a garden club just formed 2-3 mths ago in section 10.It would be very nice if you could give us some feedback to help our club grow.

[@enovalee]

i wonder If those seeds are going to be in your back pack when you come home!!? i will have to check so they don't mold and sprout out of the pockets!!!

[@usmankhanb4u]

fried vegetables lol , i think in plants , only egg plant and okra is doing well and will survive , rest are all stressed , i dontknow how the peppers are producing , usually they dont fruit without shade after 34c , same with tomato , they should provide some shade from trees or netting that will help . helpful video i realized what else i can grow , i didnt know we can grow fig in hot places

[@StatenIslandSlim]

Its all about watering & tomatoes dont like hot sun all day they produce better with some shade or filtered light in the heat of the day.

@IllumTheMessage One of the other problems tomatoes can face here is an infestation of thrips which seems to be really common. They will make the tomatoes look dried out and dead like that. I started getting hit by thrips last month but used a bit of organocide and neem and they went away.

Will chard do ok in the fall and into winter in zone 9?

[@susansalminen8126]

Planting81 I have plants in Yuma, AZ that have been growing for more than 5 years. Just keep cutting leaves from the sides and it will keep Making more!

[@bwkennard1]

@IllumTheMessage Actually shading tomatoes in vegas is completely unnecessary. They grow great without it! The trick is planting them early. Once in a while if an actual tomato is exposed to the sun, you can put a tiny piece of shade cloth over it to prevent scald, but i've never needed to do that. The foliage provides all the protection they need. I've never shaded any of my tomatoes and i've already harvested literally hundreds of pounds of tomatoes out of four 4x8 raised beds this season. :)

[@PeterVanVoorhis]

Cool!
