What vegetables are suitable for planting in summer? These varieties all work

Vegetables and fruits are essential in daily life, and there are many vegetables suitable for planting in summer. Half of the warmth-loving and light-loving vegetables are planted in summer. Let's take a look below at which vegetables are suitable for planting in summer?

1. Leafy vegetables

Crown daisy: Actually, crown daisy is a cool-loving vegetable, best grown in an environment of around 20°C; it grows poorly below 10°C or above 30°C. Moreover, under high temperature and short-day conditions, it easily bolts and flowers, so the planting time for crown daisy differs from place to place. When planting crown daisy in summer, it can be harvested in 30-40 days, suitable for planting in places where summer comes late or in northern regions in early summer.

Lettuce: Lettuce is also suitable for planting in early summer. The seed germination temperature is between 15-25°C, and it grows best in an environment between 12-20°C. So, while the temperature in early summer is not yet so high, plant it quickly and harvest early for a fresh taste - that's not bad either.

Chinese chives: Chinese chives are a perennial root vegetable that can be harvested continuously for many years from a single planting. It is a widely adaptable vegetable with a certain tolerance to cold and high temperatures. The germination temperature only needs to be above 15°C, and the optimal temperature for seedling growth and product organ formation is between 12-23°C.

In addition, amaranth and water spinach are relatively heat-tolerant leafy vegetables, so needless to say, they can be planted throughout the entire summer.

2. Gourd vegetables

There are many types of gourd vegetables, most of which are suitable for planting in summer. For example: cucumber, watermelon, melon, bottle gourd, loofah, winter melon, bitter melon, etc. They can all tolerate and need relatively sufficient temperature and light to meet their growth and development and the formation of product organs.

3. Solanaceous vegetables

Peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, etc. are all common vegetables that we like, and they are all suitable for planting in summer. Planting methods can use open-field and greenhouse cultivation.

Summer has high temperatures and plenty of rain. Not only do vegetable crops grow vigorously, but field pests, diseases, and weeds also occur frequently and cause serious damage. At this time, summer vegetable production techniques and management work become especially important. Improper management or slight negligence will cause irreparable losses.
