Have you ever considered trying a Fall garden?
Fresh fruits/vegetables in the cool of the fall sound great. Become more familiar with what and how you can become successful with a fall garden.
When it is 100 degrees outside, it is hard to think about it, but if you start now and know some basics you could be successful.
