100F-120F is HOT. Maybe watermelons but the rest? Maybe. Go ahead and try. Seeds are cheap

If you try to grow fruit and veg in pots at 49C, they'd better be BIIIIIIGG pots or you'll be watering hourly.

Like @headfullofbees advised, make sure your pots and containers are big enough so you don't have to water hourly. The watermelon should be ok, the others I'm not sure. Your real problem when it gets that hot is the plants getting too dry. You'll have to find a balance though because you don't want to give them too much water either. I'd say go ahead and plant them and good luck. Post pictures if you can when they start growing, I'm curious to see if they'll be ok.

If you are doing pot gardening, I think you can plant cucumber. Even though climate is hot in June, this month is a favorable time for most of the vegetables including cucumber. Hot weather is fine with watermelon.

I think it would depend on the cost of your seeds. I would imagine it is difficult to find online information for your country, but maybe it is there. This is definitely something where you should google for information specific to your country. However, if seeds are very cheap or free, meh, just plant 1/4 of your seed stash and see how it goes... and then in a few months, plant another 1/4 and document your results with each plant type. And then, maybe when you gather some data, you can be ´the one´ who creates a website so others from you country can look when they ask the same questions.
