@instructkamal,

Think seasonal as it is the first rule with such hot climate. Grow your long term crops including tomatoes and strawberries in winter and early spring and in the hottest month more heat tolerant and short term vegetables.

With the big heat you have to adopt, as it will not to you or your plants. Either you grow heat resistant vegetables only or you grow what you want, BUT lower the temperatures with cooling systems in a more closed environment like a cooled greenhouse, cooled nutrients, etc which is always more expensive and energy consuming. Or you can make a break for 2-3 month with limited and resistant plants during the hottest time - than you don't have to "pull the plug" on anything.

My hint: work out a seasonal strategy and stick to it.
