Summer Crops

Warm-season crops need a sunny site, well-drained soil and regular watering without waterlogging. Do not plant cold-sensitive crops before the risk of frost has passed. Tomatoes, peppers and aubergines can be started as transplants, while crops such as cucumbers, courgettes and watermelons can be sown directly once warm conditions are established. Planting times differ between the Jordan Valley and higher elevations, so follow the variety's instructions and local conditions.

When should I plant summer crops?

Start once warm conditions are established and the risk of frost has passed in your area. Timing differs between the Jordan Valley and higher elevations, so monitor temperatures and follow the pack instructions.

Should I grow summer crops from seeds or transplants?

This depends on the crop and planting date. Tomatoes, peppers and aubergines can be started as transplants, while crops such as cucumbers, courgettes and watermelons can be sown directly once warm conditions are established.
