Hi Astral,
For hot, humid areas I suggest corn, bush beans (grow very well interplanted
with corn), capsicums, cucurbit family and egg plant. Tomatos excellent also
but you may need a preventative fungicide spraying routine for tomatoes in a
humid area.

Hi - I just want to shout out to everybody. I'm getting into this
gardening thing. I have a couple questions which someone may or may
not be able to answer.
First, a question about greenhouses. I've got some plexiglass that has
been laying around, so I'm gonna use it for a greenhouse. I live in
Houston, where it is hot and humid. We are talkin 98 F in the summer.
I was thinking about putting a solar
ventilator on it to cool it some, but I'm sure it will still be very
hot. Are there any good tropical, edible plants i could grow in it?

Second question, seeing as I live in a hot humid climate, what are the
best outdoor summer crops? Hardiness is essential, as the bugs here
are a real prob.

Third question: Does anyone know about growing mushrooms, and
particularly, truffles (without the tree roots, we're talking some
type of artificial system)

Guess I'll keep it to those questions for now.

Cheers
Astral
