Hi
@cnelson
Here is a list of some herbs and vegetables that can tolerate drier conditions and higher temperatures.
Amaranth (harvest and eat leaf amaranth like spinach)
Arugula
Asian Greens (a wide selection here)
Asparagus. This is a perennial. You plant it once and let it grow in that same area. Don’t move it! A well prepared bed will produce spears for at least 15-20 years. And that is a cost effective bargain!
Beans (bush and pole)
Broccoli (Sun King Hybrid)
Cabbage
Chards
Chinese Cabbages
Cowpeas
Cucumbers
Dandelion
Eggplant*
Endive
Garlic
Leeks
Lettuces (leaf varieties, harvest young and early in the season)
Melons (cantaloupe, honey-dew, watermelons, etc.)
Okra
Onions (sets and plants)
Peppers* (sweet and hot peppers)
Pumpkins
Rhubarb. This is a perennial and another cost effective bargain. Again, plant it where it can remain for a number of years. If you need to divide or move it, do it as soon as it breaks the surface in early spring))
Spinach (New Zealand, Malabar)
Squash (summer and winter)
Sweet Corn (lots to choose from-white, yellow, yellow and white)
Sweet Potatoes (Georgia Jet, Vardaman, Wakenda)
Tomatoes (thousands to choose from-Solar Fire, Sun Leaper, Sunmaster, Equinox, many cherry varieties)
Woody stemmed herbs (Oregano, Rosemary, Sage, Thyme, Winter Savory)
