Depends on if the sun is in the a.m. or the p.m. Here’s what you can put in in March and April:
Asparagus, Basil, Beans, Corn, Cucumber, Dill, Eggplant, Garlic, Jicama, Melons, Okra, Peppers, Pumpkins, Squash, Sunflower, Tomatoes, Watermelons. Most do best with afternoon shade, when the temperature is the highest.
Sounds like a great place for a garden. You should be able to grow anything you like that will grow well in the hot sun. Start with tomatoes and peppers, squash, beans…
