Semis
Semis recommandé
Chard
Sow directly in the soil. Provide partial afternoon shade to prevent leaves from wilting under intense June sun.
Carrot
Keep the seedbed constantly damp until germination, which can be difficult in dry June conditions. Use a light mulch layer.
Green Beans
Sow directly into well-draining soil. Mulch the base of the plants to preserve soil moisture.
Radish
Sow in small batches every 10 days. Harvest promptly to prevent the roots from becoming woody and spicy.
Okra
Soak seeds for 24 hours before sowing to improve germination rates in warm soil.
Basil
Sow directly or in shallow trays. Pinch off flower buds to encourage bushy foliage growth.
Plants
Plants
Tomato
Transplant early in the morning or late in the afternoon to reduce transplant shock. Install sturdy stakes immediately.
Eggplant
Requires deep, fertile soil. Space plants 50cm apart to allow for bushy growth.
Pepper
Protect young transplants from intense midday sun during the first week using shade cloth if necessary.
Zucchini
Ensure adequate spacing (at least 1 meter between plants) to facilitate air circulation and prevent powdery mildew.
Tasks
Monthly tasks
Apply a thick layer of organic mulch (straw or dried leaves) around all crops to conserve soil moisture and lower root temperatures. Monitor plants daily for pests like spider mites and whiteflies, which thrive in hot, dry conditions. Install shade cloths over sensitive leafy greens to prevent premature bolting.
