Today's question is from @CCsGarden:

Can you grow things in 115°F weather without rain for a month?

Yes.

 

[muddy75]

Yes…with shade and irrigation

 

[CCsGarden]

Yes, we only get about 8inchs of rain here a year. And sometimes no rain for months!

 

[Lacy Duckwing]

No.

 

[fowltemptress]

The trick was not doing anything to disrupt weed growth. By the time the earth was scorching, the only thing keeping the garden alive was the shade and moisture retention from the hardy weeds. The temps were more around the 105 to 108 mark, though.

 

[azurbanclucker]

Yes. Welcome to summer in AZ

 

[HorseGirlAbby]

Yes. Every summer. Pretty sure it got too hot for our corn this year though, it was very disappointing.

 

[The Moonshiner]

Doubtful
Why would I want to grow anything?

 

[JacinLarkwell]

At that point, we want less grass here so wildfires don't have as much to consume

 

[Evadig]

No
I can't grow anything in even in the most optimal conditions.
