AMARANTH thrives on heat! Some varieties of Amaranth can be traced back to the 1700s   Tomatoes grow well in the heat but require plenty of moisture.    The Floradade tomatoes ability to with stand 90-100F temperatures and still produce heavy crops is legendary.   Many BEAN varieties can withstand extreme conditions. Pole beans, in particular, climb with success in harsh temperatures with little moisture       PUMPKIN    Pumpkins are a warm-season vegetable that can be grown throughout much of the United States. They require a fairly long period (3 - 4 months) of hot weather and can not tolerate any frost Zucchini   Seminole Pumpkin  which is an heirloom variety that can still be found growing wild in warm, humid environments, will stand up to sweltering summer heat.           LUFFA  Luffa (Luffa aegyptiaca and Luffa acutangula), also known as loofah, vegetable sponge or dishcloth gourds, are grown mainly for their useful fibrous tissue skeleton. Young fruits can be eaten as squash, used in stews or even used in place of cucumbers.  CORN grows plentiful in the heat! Non-GMO Country Gentleman Corn and   Blue Corn are our favorites    Painted Mountain Corn  OKRA grows very well in the heat and can produce quite well in the summer. MALABAR SPINACH is a vining variety that does well in heat.   Malabar spinach is fast growing and tolerates high rainfall. This is a fast growing vine plant and produces best when trellised. Stem tips (6-8 inches) are harvested 55-70 days after seeding. Repeated harvests of new growth stems can be made through out the season.       SWISS CHARD       RADISH German Giant and Early Scarlet are both heat tolerant     HEAT TOLERANT BEET VARIETIES  Beets are a great addition to your garden even if you're not particularly fond of their taste.  The Greens, often called root tops, are delicious!  You'll find beet greens in quite a few salad mixes. We've grown both Detroit Dark Red and Chioggio thru the summers here and they've survived the heat       RECENT VIDEOS:     Grow Your Own Food in 100 Days or Less       Day 8: Transplanting Seedlings      Day 9: Using Mountain Flower Compost Tea       MORE VIDEOS:  Seed Starting Made Simple Using Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth Making Organic Alfalfa Fertilizer Tea DIY Herbal Tincture tutorial DIY Organic Liquid fertilizer Mix Seed Library Binder Helpful Articles: Using Organic Neem Oil in the Garden Grow 20-Pound Plants Our Ancestors Grew GROW Something Spectacular   If you have additional questions please feel free to ask.    Happy Planting,   Mary Mary's Heirloom Seeds
