What to plant in Malanje in June

June marks the peak of the dry season (Cacimbo) in Malanje, with virtually no rainfall (0.2 mm) and mild, comfortable temperatures averaging 20.9°C. The cool, dry nights (t_min 13.8°C) combined with warm daytime sun provide excellent conditions for establishing cool-season vegetables and starting warm-season crops in protected seedbeds as temperatures begin to rise in August and September.

Tasks

Monthly tasks

Apply a thick layer of organic mulch (straw or dry grass) around all cultivated plants to conserve soil moisture and regulate soil temperature. Since rainfall is virtually non-existent (0.2 mm), prioritize weeding to eliminate competition for scarce water resources. Keep a close eye on aphids, which thrive in dry weather, and wash them off with a gentle spray of water.
