Ldy Diana,
Just being lazy and lumping rocket and orach under "greens" :). I love
rocket, and would love to find the variety you mention! I have had plants
survive a month or two of heat, but they usually give out by July when the
drought starts. Actually a number of "annuals" are long-lived in mild
climates. I kept a sweet pepper plant alive and productive for 21 months
without much work (eventually a victim of a watering failure during last
year's Pennsic).
Orach is another good choice, and water cress doesn't actually need to be in
water, it just shouldn't dry out. It does well in a pot set in a saucer of
water.
I also think I left out wall flowers and sweet williams and sweet peas among
the flowers.
