Collection: Summer Sowing Vegetable Seeds

The summer season in India ranges from March till May. Depending on the region, for some States, it can start from February while for other States it can extend till June.

Temperatures soar up from 25 degrees to 45 degrees during summer. Watering the soil should be done by checking the moisture in the soil. Most summer plants cannot survive with excessive water, too. It's hence crucial to ensure that ground doesn't get too dry nor is it water-logged.

Below are a few summer sowing vegetables:

Cucumber: Cucumber seeds are relatively easy to grow both in balcony space and outdoor, provided there is a proper drainage system, warmth and support.
Germination time: 7-10 days
Maturity time: 55-70 days

Tomatoes: Tomatoes are a popular and all-time favourite nightshade. When planted in June, the seedlings grow better.
Germination time: 5-10 days
Maturity time: 60-80 days

Pumpkin: Pumpkin needs space, fertile, and well-drained land to grow. If planting in a pot, ensure to find a significantly large pot with drainage holes.
Germination time: 5-10 days
Maturity time: 90-100 days

Eggplant / Brinjal: Brinjal grows to medium-size shrubs and, like tomatoes, brinjals can also be grown in pots or containers. It's a hardy crop and can grow in different types of soils as long as it's fertilized and prepped.

Germination time: 7-14 days
Maturity time: 90-120 days

Okra / Ladies Finger: Ladies Finger also grows as a shrub, approximately four meters in height. It requires six hours of sunlight and needs moist soil, which is why if planted outdoors, you might need to water the plant twice - morning and evening. It is otherwise a low maintenance plant.

Germination time: 5-10 days
Maturity time: 55-65 days
