Flowers, fruits and vegetables that can withstand the Arizona heat

Details: Moon Valley Nurseries told us their top recommendation right now is for summer flowers, specifically vincas.

• Whitfill Nursery suggested Angelonia and Gomphrena as other good options for summer flowers.
• If you're looking to plant some fruits and vegetables, try cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, squashes, pumpkins and watermelons — anything with seeds on the inside — along with rosemary and thyme.

Meanwhile, for your non-summer plants, keep them watered with good, deep soaks, usually every day or every other day, Moon Valley told us.
