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.
