Will these veg grow in tropical climates?

[Rummi]

[align=left]Will be taking (the remaining) of these vegetables seeds to plant in a tropical country. It will be an average of 32degress celcius year round, abeit planting indoor in containers.[/align]

[align=left]Which of these do you think will not grow well under in such a hot climate?[/align]

[align=left]- Silverbeet Fordhook giant & multi-colors[/align]

[align=left]- Spinach[/align]

[align=left]- Leeks musselburgh[/align]

[align=left]- Capsiciums swwet bells[/align]

Hi Rummi,

I see that you have asked this question in two places and not received an answer.* I would think the peppers and beans would do ok, but not sure of the others, especially indoors.* You might want to ask here.* It's a Botanical Garden site and located in British Columbia, Canada, but there might be some folks there that could help.

Hi Newt, thanks for the lead:D*

the other post under 'Vegetables' failed to get a response after a week, that being the reaon why it was re-posted to 'Tropical'.

btw, they will be planted on a sunny balcony*(in containers). so no worries at all abt lack of sunlight. The biggest worry predicted now may be excessive SUN in the region= excessive heat.

Rummi, you are very welcome!* I thought you were going to plant them indoors.* Outdoors I would think they might do ok.* The silverbeets are called spinach in New Zealand and like the heat.

The leeks hail from Scotland so I don't know how they would do in a tropical climate.*

You don't say where you will be, but I suspect with those temps and them staying constant, you will be somewhere near the equator.* You might want to research what veggies they grow in that country.* I've spent time in South America near the equator, but the climate is different then what you describe.

hi newt, u surprised me! the giant silverbeets here (NZ;)) are still called silverbeets, u know those that reached beyond half-an-arm's length. but they do not have the smaller chards (another name for silverbeet)

however, the spinach version here are the small and salad kind. no bigger than these.

u got it right, i'll be at the equator, so its hot and humid all year round. temperature never seems to fall below 25degrees celsius. the heat-part shd be close to what u had in south-america. though u may get cooler season reliefs for fruiting that is absence in the equators.

Rummi, so you live in New Zealand!* I figured you might be in the UK or from another country and here in the US.* Just goes to show what a small world we've become.*

There are several knowledgeable folks at the UBC Botanical garden site from tropical countries.* I don't know if they grow many veggies, but I've seen them answer lots of questions about tropical plants.* Do you mind saying where you will be going?

hi newt, i was half-a-year in hawaii's big island- that being the closest i'd got to US;)*the tourism promotion materials always see hawaii as summer vacations with bikinis-cladded girls year-round. i almost thought their climate condition will be close to singapore, where im heading next... checking out the UBC site. thouroughly enjoying just browsing thru the site, though i've yet to get to business (posting the question). :P
