Another angle is to try special varieties that stand up to summer heat
better, though it may take experimenting for your location. And you still
might want to keep Pat's portable planters close by just in case. Here are
my suggestions for summer greens from my page at
http://largocreekfarms.com/greens.htm
New Zealand Spinach

Sylvetta Arugula

Bionda da Taglio chard

Catalonia Italian Dandelion

Red Ursa Kale

Magenta Magic orach

Purslane

Also some beet greens at http://largocreekfarms.com/beets.htm . This is a
work in progress obviously, and anyone with suggestions, we're glad to hear
your experience. We're compiling varieties and sources that may be more
heat tolerant or cold tolerant, better for storage or short season. We're
especially interested in heirlooms from anywhere that are more suited to
certain climates or conditions. It's a free service on our part and we
don't get commissions or sell these seeds ourselves.
