7 Perfect Vegetables to Grow in Hot Climates

1. You should grow chilipetin pepper three native to Arizona, Texas, Florida so there very adapted to the USA they grow very fast and little bit more cold hardy there is a more cold hardy pepper called capsicum flexosum that can survive in snow and I think it is also very heat resistant it would be good to grow in Northern California or central Florida.

2. When it comes to germinating the seeds of any crop adapted to hotter climates, they will benefit from a heat source like a heat mat or warm appliance. I do this with my nightshade seeds and squash seeds, and it makes things go a lot faster.

3. You guys are the best, thank you a bunch!

4. No one believes me when i tell them.
   But where I live, central/southern texas
   it can be over 100F for weeks at a time, with high humidity, but no rain.
   at least the plants love it (until their soil drys out daily)

5. Did sowed some okras to try grow this year! Usually its hot here but we have had a very mid weather ????????, hoping it all goes well and we get a good harvest

6. I like sweet potatoes okay but I mostly grow them for my dog.

7. You can also eat the leaves of the sweet potato plant.

8. San pedro cactus, cubensis, mormon tea

9. What's the purple almost black stem flowers by your spinach?

10. Malibar spinach drops seeds like mad! I've found it to become crazy invasive.

11. I feel a dopamine rush when I watch your videos. Keep them coming! I’ve always been into gardening but every time I watch your videos I get more and more stoked to expand my garden and try something new. Thank you!

12. Would love to see recommendations for hot, wet climates!

13. How do you know when the sunflower head is at the right time to roast & eat?

14. Aloha dudes

15. Kentucky wonder pole beans are my favorite bean here in NC with Rattlesnake pole beans running a close second. I will have to check out the Tepary beans! Thanks!!

16. There's another gardeners channel that says sweet potatoes hate heat. I didn't plant any because of that advice. Wish I'd seen yours first!

17. I live in zone 9a in central Texas. We get temperatures up to 110° for months at a time during the summer. Peppers don’t fare as well in that kind of heat, but I’ve planted them in an area this year that gets the first shade in the afternoon and it seems to help them from wilting too much, but since temps don’t drop under 80° at night, we still get a lot of flower drop. Peppers and tomatoes need temperatures to drop significantly at night in order to have fruit set. My butternut squash also can’t handle the heat ???? Here at least, beans, blackberries and tomatillos have done really well. They don’t seem to mind the triple digit temperatures at all and keep up production!

18. Hi Jacques, I watched the bean segment several times but I am still not sure whether you are saying that pole beans are very heat tolerant in general or that Kentucky Wonder is the heat loving one amongst pole beans.
    The reason I am asking is that I have only been growing beans for a few years, we are in Zone 11B with hot humid summers. And of the several pole beans I have tried Kentucky Wonder has been the best and most prolific so far.

19. Good mentioning of the sunflower! I've found it to be the perfect companion plant. Air temperature under the leaves tends to be several degrees cooler than the days temperature which allows you to grow less heat tolerant plants underneath wonderfully

20. I hit BI this morning for a flower restock and it was like the Jacques graveyard. Does he like it or recommend it? Out of stock. Nevertheless, I scored for my hot summer garden. So REASONABLE! And the African Daisies are off the chain this year.

21. Are you stalking my browsing history? I just googled summer plants for my zone earlier today…

22. One thing that bothers me about gardening channels is no one tells you where they live, the condition of their climate so you have no reference to what you can do and when to do it.
    I know where you live cuz I follow your Channel. Bur a simple Zone designation or general area in your "about"
    Section of your webpage would be super helpful and please pass this along to other Growers that post here. The millennial Gardener is great at that. But I do love your information and I thank you

23. At least in my case, malabar spinach needed some shade to grow big.

    In the open sun it grew very small and with lots of seeds.

24. Something don't hear or see around. If you cut your sweet potato or potato for a slip. Do you have to let it sit or can you just plant that slip into the ground right after cutting that slip off of the potato or sweet potato?

25. How do I get a opportunity for a 1on1 cause I have so many questions of growing in the tropics and varieties that can even grow where I'm trying to help family do a farm to table garden. And boy oh boy even coming from the south east it was a huuuge and fun experience.

26. I fell in love with zinnia and amaranth last year. I live where it gets 110 in the summer so a lot of flowers don't grow in the siunmer but these did amazing. I've also heard Armenian cucumber for a more heat tolerant cucumber but i haven't tried it yet
