As anyone who reads this list knows, I've been studying intensive gardening.  I just realized that, in spite of much coverage of season-extending tricks, I've never seen any mention of shade as a season-extending measure for Southwest climates.  Wouldn't use of a 40% shade cloth give us another month or two of salad greens?  Or maybe even allow stuff to grow in July and August?  Around here about the only thing that grows in July and August is Peppers.
