Someone even attempted to grow pineapple here.

Growing tomato does not require a hothouse.
We used to grow them at home. We also grew grapes
and rhubarb in the back yard. And the situation back
then would not be described as "hot".

I don't think a tomato plant would last too long,
in a heat wave. You have to take care of your tomatoes.
I've seen too many parched ones, to hold out hope
for people who "plant and come back four months
later expecting product". You can't do that :-)

Cedar likes heat-days. Corn likes heat-days.
A lot of other succulent plants are not happy in
brutal conditions. If you go to the gardening store,
most of the product there are labeled according
to "zone" and then the details of how they like
to spend the day. For example, when you plant grass
seed here, there are three varieties of seed. One
seed is good in shaded areas. One of the seeds
is good in drought. And a lot of the grass you plant
then, is the drought-resistant one which stays alive.
It's so predictable, we count on several weeks of grass
mowing. An extended season where the grass stops growing
(I never water the lawn, only trees) follows. And then
Oct/Nov the grass may attempt to grow a bit. If you dump
fertilizer on that lawn, there's no question you can make
it grow, but it's not really all that happy.

So we have that tried and true recipe for grass seed in this
zone. So what does the hardware store go and do. They buy
a mono-culture of something that doesn't grow here. I planted
some of that, to cover some "tire tracks", yes, it grew, it
grew faster than the regular lawn. Then when winter came, all
that grass... "died". Nothing sprouted in spring. And that's what
happens when a buyer for a company, tries to cheap out and buy
what is more or less "weed seed". Instead of a proper grass mix.
You can only get decent grass seed, at the garden store.
