How to Grow in Summer: Tasks of the Season

Before learning how to grow in summer, it is necessary that you consider some recommendations regarding the summer garden. First, answer the questions of what, how and when. This is very easy, you can take advantage planting schedules according to your region to find out what are the best species to plant in summer.

You can also use the lunar calendar, which tells you, day by day, if it is conducive to cultivate species whose exploitation is the flower, leaf or root, based on the phases of our natural satellite. It is not at all difficult and will help greatly to plant in summer.

Calculate how much you’re going to plant of each species. This depends on several factors: the available space, the number of guests, how this ingredient is used in foods, maintainability or irrigation, etc. Avoid producing more than necessary of the same species, and vary more to grow in summer. Unlike what happens in winter, in the warm season the possibilities are more extensive.

Once you have selected the species, the next step to grow in summer is to separate the need for nursery and transplanted to accept by seed (direct seeding). In the first case, you should have advance steps in the spring, using cans, flower pots, window boxes or crates of fruit. In the second, it is realized on earth, always paying attention to the separation between the seeds and partnerships (not to root two species because they fight for the same nutrients).

How to plant seedlings in summer

This species requiring special treatment are lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, onion, leek, tomatoes, broccoli, spinach and beets, among others. To plant these vegetables in summer, they must first have gone through an earlier stage. The seedbed is prepared, as stated above, in a container that can be moved to where you want and protect it from rain or sun.

This way of farming is also used to get earlier crops, or if we have already been doing direct seeding. To bring the plant already grown to land, it is more likely to grow and develop to the size we want.

Transplantation is very important to plant in summer, but also in other seasons. Is performed when the plant has three or four leaves, or when the stem has the thickness of a pen or pencil. Should be covered with earth so that no root is exposed, then keep the routine of watering as other plants.
