Fruit And Vegetable Gardens

fruit and vegetable gardens
I want to start a veggie/fruit garden. What fruits and vegetables grow decently in a desert (Southern Nevada)?

I’ve hunted through google and bing for information but have failed. If you know of any websites that say what fruits and vegetables grow well in deserts or specially Southern Nevada, that would be even better. Thanks

Well peppers and citrus do pretty good. As well as onions, garlic, tomatoes, and corn.I might want to doctor the soil a little bit before though.
