You are not going to get spinach or many greens to thrive in the
summer here. Certainly not bok choy, or other cool weather crops.

I'm growing Green Fortune Baby Pak Choi (said to be heat-resistant) from
reneesgarden.com, and it's doing nicely so far in this hotter-than-usual
May. I have it in a bed in dappled shade under a red bud tree, along with
some Jericho lettuce. I'm growing both thickly, and using 3-4 inch thinnings
for salads, along with curly endive and escarole that are still growing well
in the sun. As mentioned before, the Malabar "spinach" is not a true
spinach, just looks like it.
