Chapter 3: What Will You Grow? Seasonality





             It’s important to grow plants as per the seasons they like. Here’s a sowing calendar
             that you can follow to help you grow healthier and happier plants.


             Growing vegetables according to their season produces better harvest and tasty
             vegetables. It also improves your soil as the mineral and nutrition requirements of
             plants are different.


             Your fruits and veggies won’t grow properly if they don’t get the right amount of

             light, so ensuring your urban farm gets enough light is really important.
