I live in a temperate rainforest (perty close to the Unaka Mts of Upper East TN) but you might try these Desert Gardening contacts (Links).

The only thing I grow that could be described as "drought resistant" is goji-berry, a tough little fighter that looks like it could stand nearly anything. I just took some green cuttings to root; if any of them successfully roots, I could send you one if you're interested. They're supposed to thrive in dry alkalai soil (neither of which we have here!!)

Thank you for the info. I need to get the planter built and irrigation system in which means I probably won’t be planting anything until this winter for next year.

Just trying to figure out where to invest my short amount of “free time”.

As for the okra, maybe it’s just me or maybe I was served “bad” okra, but I’ve had it once.

Will keep it in mind though, thanks again.
