HEAT TOLERANT VARIETIES     

 
PEPPERS love Heat!



AMARANTH thrives on heat!
Some varieties of Amaranth can be
traced back to the 1700s


 
Tomatoes grow well in the heat but require plenty of moisture.   
The Floradade tomatoes ability to with stand 90-100F temperatures and still produce heavy crops is legendary.  



Many BEAN varieties can withstand extreme conditions. Pole beans, in particular, climb with success in harsh temperatures with little moisture
 
 
 
 
Pumpkins are a warm-season vegetable that can be grown throughout much of the United States. They require a fairly long period (3 - 4 months) of hot weather and can not tolerate any frost




  Seminole Pumpkin

  which is an heirloom variety that can still be found growing wild in warm, humid environments, will stand up to sweltering summer heat.  
  
    
LUFFA 
Luffa (Luffa aegyptiaca and Luffa acutangula), also known as loofah, vegetable sponge or dishcloth gourds, are grown mainly for their useful fibrous tissue skeleton. Young fruits can be eaten as squash, used in stews or even used in place of cucumbers.


 
CORN grows plentiful in the heat!
Blue Corn are our favorites 
 


OKRA grows very well in the heat and can produce quite well in the summer.


MALABAR SPINACH
is a vining
variety that does well in heat.
 

Malabar spinach is fast growing and tolerates high rainfall. This is a fast growing vine plant and produces best when trellised. Stem tips (6-8 inches) are harvested 55-70 days after seeding. Repeated harvests of new growth stems can be made through out the season.
 
 
 
SWISS CHARD
 
 
 
German Giant and Early Scarlet are both heat tolerant
 
 


Beets are a great addition to your garden even if you're not particularly fond of their taste.  The Greens, often called root tops, are delicious!  You'll find beet greens in quite a few salad mixes.
We've grown both Detroit Dark Red and Chioggio thru the summers here and they've survived the heat
