Vegetable Varieties for Tucson

Through the experiences of the Pima County Master Gardeners, these vegetable varieties have been rated best for planting in the Tucson area. All should be available to purchase either as transplants from local garden centers and nurseries or through mail order seed catalogs. Other varieties not listed may do well.

Our criteria were good yields over a long period with enough foliage on the plants to protect the fruit from the summer sun. Heat tolerance (and heat avoidance by an early production), good fruit quality and flavor were also considered.
