I live in Reno - wind and heat at 5000 ft. And once in a while, 1 inch hail.

I don't grow corn anymore. Smiling

Put a thick layer of mulch over everything. Then put burlap over the mulch to keep it there. Pin it down with tent stakes or rocks. It takes more water to garden in the wind - the plants lose a lot of moisture through their leaves.

The only thing I have had trouble with is squash and cucumbers but I think that was too much sun. Last summer I used shade cloth over those vegetables and they did fine.

Oh, and I use T-stakes to hold my tomato cages which I use on everything: tomatoes, peppers and eggplants. Tomato cages help keep tall plants standing up. T-stakes help keep the tomato cages standing up.
