The soil is alkaline and is full of weeds. All suggestions are welcome.

Pumpkins and zucchinis! Dig up a small circle of soil and improve it
with humus and mulch, then let the vines spread over the rocks to their
heart's content. Keep the water up to the plants in dry weather. Hill
the soil before planting the seeds if your locality has a lot of rain in
summer. Also try melons.

I can't comment on their liking for/against an alkaline soil. I don't
know, but my guess is that they don't mind.
