    Most helpful! This will be my first year attempting to veg garden here in southern NV. It's been challenging finding versions of vegetables I like that are tolerant to extreme heat. I really want to take a crack at pickling cucumbers and this has kind of emboldened me.

    As for me, I guess summer is the toughest season to grow different crops, Therefore, learning these ideas could truly manipulate us whenever we want to set up a garden during the said season. I appreciate the learning that I have gained. Thank you!

    To grow food in vegetable gardens require valuable information regarding on the extreme conditions of the weather. However, learning an advice could be of great help to be definitely aware in times of planning or creating a garden.

    some reason John sounds like the whole video hes bent outta shape, like his girl just broke up with him or something lol. And other thing I noticed, your always talking down when u review peoples gardens., At least they are growing, even if it isnt something you eat. Maybe they arent growing it, because they dont want to (spinach). Point our more positives instead of shouldnt grow this, didnt do that etc., Just a suggestion

    Nice video I am looking for stuff to plant in Palm Springs CA over the summer. I already had the sunflowers and beans going. Just remember to give the sunflowers a good head start. I have leafy greens growing under the sunflowers shade as well.

    THANK YOU! I plan out and carefully select scenes for all my video shoots 🙂 I take this seriously. This is my creative side coming out. I thought they were fabulous in real life, and they came out great in the shoot too! Thanks for recognizing it!

    Hi there, I read that Sunflowers hate beans. That was after I planted my Big Mama Lima beans next to my tomatoes! But they are doing okay so far. I'm down in Anaheim. Thanks for your great video's!

    Marlbar Spinach can be "invasive" in the tropics.. since that is its native climate. Although properly "controlled", I think an edible invasive plant, if contained in your garden is a good thing ;).

    Those purp beans look like the burgandy beans I bought from seedsofchange. Last year I grew the beans around the fence of my garden and peas up my sunflowers. Maybe I'll switch to the beans with sunflowers, because the sunflowers and Peas both took off. The sunflower staulks I left up all winter and they kept the birds happy. I decided to leave the reamaining stalks standing for the summer and the birds are still using them for perches.

    Great video, I hope my plants do well this summer. It gets up to the 90's and sometimes 100 here in Fairfield CA. But I've never had problems getting my tomatoes to produce in the past around here. I move my pots around at different points of the day, and water faithfully in the heat. But of course, I could mulch more, lol.
