I'm no expert on this since it isn't quite as hot/dry as it is there, but based on plenty of pot-growing, I'd recommend watering twice a day (as needed, obviously) in the mornings/evenings and consider painting the outsides of the pots white or silver to reflect light to keep soil temps down. (I kinda wonder what some aluminum foil could do for an alternative to painting....hmmmm)
