We hope. SoCal has been suffering from a big heat wave but in spite
of that we're preparing to plant the cool weather veggies soon. Based
on what we've liked in the past we will have snowpeas, a variety of
lettuces, golden beets (for both the greens and the beetroots). What
are other favorites or new things that we might add to this list? -

Just saw LA was hitting 112.f today. Whew....So micro climate touches
are in order. I'd think shade and traditional desert gardening. Where
to start?

Search Hopi Desert etc
