What happens when you plant
What happens when you plant 15 varieties of leafy greens into brutal summer heat with no protection? Well, in our experience, only a couple will survive and thrive.
We learned the hard way last summer that our climate is too hot and dry for most greens during the warmest months of the year. So this year, we tried to grow all 15 of our favorite leafy greens in full sun with no special care or protection to see which ones can stand up to the heat and give us a good harvest. To our surprise, only two of them really came out on top with a few more coming close.
This video is for you if you want to grow leafy greens in a super hot climate and are tired of bolting, wilting, and bitter leaves.
