Conquer the Sun with Smart Gardening
A little planning goes a long way in the summer garden!
- Seed Head Start: Begin your heat-loving veggies indoors or in a shaded area before the scorching heat arrives. It's the perfect time to explore our Summer Vegetable Seed Packs. Choose from Classy, Standard, Elite, or Leafy - there's something for every garden!
- Raised Beds Rule: They improve drainage, which is vital during India's summer showers.
- Plant in Succession: Don't plant everything at once! Staggered planting ensures a steady harvest all season long.
Water Wisely
- Go Deep, Less Often: Water thoroughly in the early morning, so those roots get a good drink. This minimizes evaporation.
- Mulch Mania: Spread organic mulch (dried leaves, straw, etc.) around your plants – it's like a cool blanket for the soil and prevents weeds!
Embrace the Shade
"Plants that love the sun, still need a little shade on the hottest days!" - Indian Gardening Proverb (We just made that up, but it's true!)
Simple shade cloth structures can save your beloved veggies from scorching. Bigger plants like corn and sunflowers can create natural shade for smaller companions.
A Gardener's TLC (Tender Loving Care)
- Nourish Often: Feed your hardworking plants with compost or manure tea, especially after it rains.
- Harvest Happiness: Pick your veggies often – it encourages even more production!
