    Try Piel de Sapo, aka Christmas Melon, is has done OK in our 9B temps, and they keep real well open pollinated, but ive had to buy seed, as they dont do well from seed saving, the immature ones keep into the spring, I cut them for the chickens, for a melon they keep amazingly, almost like a squash.

    Try and get some Tepary beans from Arizona, they will thrive in your zone. Also Sunn Hemp is awesome, a legume that it very drought tolerant. Great soil builder, and does well chopped down to 12" then it comes back with a vengance, I'm in a zone 9B, so I cover crop two season and rotate every year, building soil too. Get some Phoenix Tomato seed, they were developed to take heat, they cant take 9B but you should be OK, great taste.

    Thanks for the information about the shade cloth shouldn't touch the plant- no other gardener has said that. I have mine draped over my tomatoes ( they do have cages) but the cloth still touches my plants. My tomatoes are in containers and the cloth just sits on top of the cages. I noticed you only have shade cloth over the top do you only need it over the top of the tomatoes? I have mine totally surrounded in cloth- all sides of the containers are under the cloth. I live in zone 8 a but we are hot and humid. I am still getting flowers on my tomatoes will they have time to fully develope and turn red before November 15th(our predicted first frost)?

    • @thefiresidefarm
      @thefiresidefarm 3 дня назад

      They don't need to be surrounding the plant completely...though it's not harmful if they are. You just don't want it so close to the plants that it traps heat (like a blanket). You should have enough time for tomatoes by the first frost

    Thank you for the excellent video. I wanted to find a good explanation of the slow cooker, no-water method. You gave many important details and why you do them. This was very helpful. I don't have a crockpot but rather an instant pot that you are supposed to be able to use as a slow cooker. I will try this once I get down more details on how to use the instant pot as a slow cooker. I got the slow cooker lid, so that's one thing. The instant pot videos all seem to use water and use it as a pressure cooker. I may call the company to ask about temperature settings, etc, since it has a stainless steel bowl and I don't want it to scorch.

      @@thefiresidefarm Thanks! I decided to go ahead and build a simple frame and install shade cloth yesterday over my watermelon. My area has clear blue sky every day this time of year with no cloud cover, so the sun is very intense. I was surprised, the Garden Center had 50% and 70%-blockage shade cloth and the staff recommended I use the 70%. We’ll see how the watermelon responds. I’m slightly worried the 70% is blocking too much sun, but then again with the very high heat here, maybe the watermelon will appreciate the protection and grow better. I have 6 plants with about 20 watermelon fruit now.
