Never grown outside, tips welcome. AZ heat a problem?

[richardskinner]

I'm pretty good at indoor growing but outside???? I've heard of some people out here growing successfully but how? It gets pretty f-n hot here and the uv index is massive during summer months. Do I need to block some afternoon hot-ass sunlight cuz the sun gets real intense here? Any suggestions would be great or if anyone has grown successfully out here I'd really appreciate some tips.

or dealing with heat issues in the desert. He is the ex-resident pro on this matter! May even google or bing his username to get more answers!:rasta: And you have a bit of time right now before the real heat!pr

that would be a start!
