The rainy season is a perfect time for vegetable gardening. Here are some simple strategies to help you make the most of the monsoon season for your vegetable cultivation.
- If you grow vegetables in containers, elevate them to ensure proper drainage. Use pot feet or place containers on bricks to keep them off the ground and prevent waterlogging.
- Make sure your garden has good drainage. Use well-draining soil and consider adding sand or gravel to improve drainage. Creating slight slopes in your garden can also help direct excess water away from plant roots.
- Mulching helps retain soil moisture during dry periods and prevents soil erosion during heavy rains.
- Tall plants like tomatoes and beans can be damaged by heavy rain and wind. Use stakes, cages, or trellises to support these plants.
- Prune excess foliage to improve air circulation around plants. This helps prevent fungal diseases that thrive in wet conditions and reduces the risk of branches breaking under the weight of rainwater.
- Select vegetables that thrive in wet and humid conditions. Bitter Gourd, Bottle Gourd, Pumpkin, Cauliflower, chili, cucumber, and ladies’ fingers can be cultivated during this season.
