Sow directly outdoors in blocks of at least 4x4 plants to ensure proper wind pollination.

Bush Beans
Sow directly outdoors 2.5 cm deep. Avoid transplanting as roots are sensitive.
Zucchini
Sow directly outdoors in hills or rich soil mounds to ensure good drainage.
Okra
Soak seeds for 24 hours before sowing directly outdoors to speed up germination.
Cucumber
Sow directly next to a trellis to keep fruits off the damp ground.

Provide a sturdy stake at planting time to support heavy fruit loads later.
Hot Pepper
Transplant when soil is thoroughly warm. Space plants 40 cm apart.
Sweet Potato
Plant slips horizontally in raised ridges to encourage maximum tuber formation.

Apply organic mulch around newly transplanted seedlings to conserve soil moisture and suppress weeds. Install trellises and supports for climbing crops like cucumbers and tomatoes early. Monitor for aphids and flea beetles, which become active as temperatures rise.
