I'm not sure that Brussels Sprouts and Cucumbers can withstand your summer heat, though. Must need shade and a lot of water? I dunno. I've never had the LUXURY of an 8 month growing season. It would probably KILL me, LOL!
You may be right about hot and dry — I’m in southern Arizona — and I’m new to gardening. But I have heard of experienced gardeners having problems for the first time ever in getting their plants to blossom and then bear fruit. I’m still learning! It’s a lot of fun actually. I have a little grow light set up in the kitchen and it’s a wonder how quickly and energetically seeds will germinate. I made the mistake of leaving the seedlings outside, and some little scamp nibbled off all the shoots overnight!
“little scamp”
LOL! You’re WAY too kind to those evil critters!
It’s good to know that you’re new to gardening and you found us!
We love Newbies! We can talk your arm off any day of the week on just about any subject.
Been there. Done that. It didn’t work, but I tried it AGAIN, LOL!
Should I add you to our Ping List? :)
