Instead of fighting the heat, put down different kinds of pebbles/rock and make a cactus garden. Get some large boulders too. You also don't have to water so often.

  Alice, thank you for a great suggestion! I live in west Texas where it is blazing hot and an over abundance of caliche soil and rock. Grass does not do well. We have rattlesnakes, coyotes, fox, feral hogs, mountain lions, bobcat and deer. I am afraid of cactus because of the spiky thorns. I dream of an oasis on my property. I do have several oak tree groves so these are my target spots starting with 1 in the front part of the property. I am going to work on a water fountain project put forth by a fellow Hometalker with a repurposed water fountain. I like your small rock idea which I can incorporate into this area. Thanks again!!!

I’m Hawaiian. Stick to the plants you see on the islands. They will live in this wet, steamy, windy environment.
