Vegetables you can grow in your garden during summers
You can easily take advantage of the summer season by growing vegetables under the sun. There are multiple healthy vegetables that thrive on heavy sunlight. This also ensures you get a reliable supply of food during the season and afterward, and save on groceries shopping. Here is a list of easy-to-grow regular vegetables, whose seeds you can sow in your garden.
Tomatoes
Although fruits, tomatoes are considered vegetables by nutritionists. All they need is a few months of warm climate. However, tomatoes need rich soil and fertilizer to thrive. For higher yields, plant tomatoes in areas that receive maximum sunlight. Additionally, water them regularly and supply fertilizer. Provide some support with sticks on the pots once the fruits start to develop.
Cucumber
With a minimum of eight hours per day of full-sun exposure, cucumbers are one of the most natural full-sun veggies to grow in summer. It's best to sow seeds an inch deep and two inches apart when the soil is warm. When seedlings are about three inches tall, separately plant one every foot apart in your garden. Ensure that the soil is moist.
Brinjal
Brinjal, or eggplant, thrives in hot climates, demanding ample sunlight, nutrient-rich soil, and water. For optimal flavor, it's recommended to pluck the fruit when young. Ripening typically takes 50-80 days, but be cautious, since it is vulnerable to bruising and rapid spoilage. Given their tall stature, these plants should be adequately spaced, with a minimum distance of 30 inches between them.
Ladies' finger (okra)
Due to its exceptional heat and drought tolerance, this simple-to-grow vegetable thrives in warmer climates. Sowing seeds in rich, well-draining soil is best when the soil temperature reaches approximately 20 degrees Celsius. Harvest okra several days after flowering when it is about two inches long. It takes about 50-60 days to show results. Make sure to water regularly for better yields.
Green beans
Green beans, a beloved vegetable, offer simplicity, delectability, and nourishment. Sow the seeds an inch deep, spacing them two to four inches apart. Remember to water regularly. Irregular or inconsistent watering will affect the flowering. Harvesting time arrives within 45 to 60 days. Pick the pods that are firm and crisp, before they grow bigger, to relish their best flavor.
