Seasonal tips
- Maintain consistent moisture levels as heat can dry soil quickly during peak summer months.
- Practice succession sowing for continuous harvests since there are no winter breaks to slow growth.
- Keep foliage pruned and airy to improve air circulation in the humid climate.
Keep watch
Pest & disease watch
- Monitor closely for aphids and spider mites which thrive in warm temperatures.
- Watch for fungal diseases like powdery mildew that spread easily in high humidity.
- Check seedlings regularly for fruit fly larvae on ripening produce.
Water
Watering this week
Water deeply in the early morning to reduce evaporation and prevent leaf burn from intense sun.
