Very useful info, Marjory--and congrats on all those views. I like that you 
focus on what really works in serious heat and what can provide real calories 
and nutrition (having just been in 60 days of 95+ weather in normally cool 
Montana, I can relate!). 

And you don't even look sweaty (I was going to say "look hot" but that could 
be taken as a double-entendre that I'd have to then explain and back out of, 
so it's best to avoid--wait, I didn't avoid--I mean, um . . .)

The slightly cooler version would be Carol Deppe's "The Resilient Gardener," 
which has been mentioned on this list before: she describes, and has grown, 
crops that grow easily and will actually feed you: corn, squash, beans, 
potatoes, chickens. We could use more practical work like both of these.

Good work!
