Ranchmama, I am fascinated by your description of normal summer Oklahoma weather -- don't the cattle mind the 107* sun? Or do they seek the shade, and drink lots of water...? If you wanted to, could you use public or well water to keep your veggies alive..? Is water available..? Could you have a wooden lathe over a kitchen garden, for instance, to shade it from the intense sun..? It sounds as if ALL fruits and vegetables must be imported into Oklahoma, every summer, from other states.
