I tried, but I found gardening in general requires too much water here. Corn came out stunted and then died. Tomatoes, hot peppers, and roses seem to do well but that’s about it.
I had pretty good luck with cool season crops (radish, turnips, beets, mustard greens, etc) starting last late-fall, through winter, and into spring (kale, arugula, leaf lettuce, and cilantro did well in late-winter into spring). Only really needed to water enough to get seeds to sprout. But yeah, right now the only things I have doing well are tomatoes. I have some squash, pole beans, and cowpeas growing, but dunno if it'll soon get too hot and dry for them to produce anything.
