What crops are suitable to grow during the summer solstice?

The summer solstice is in June every year, which is the day with the longest daylight in the year. The weather is relatively hot and the sunshine time is long, so it is very suitable for growing some light-loving and heat-resistant crops. The rainfall will also increase at this time, so pay attention to timely drainage.

There are many crops suitable for planting during the summer solstice, such as rice, peanuts, corn, sorghum, watermelon, winter melon, sweet potato, water spinach, lettuce, pepper, beans, cucumber, cabbage, tomato, etc.

1. Peanuts

Peanuts can be planted during the summer solstice. The main edible part is the fruit in the pod. They prefer a warm climate and moderate rainfall environment. Before planting, they need to be cultivated and weeded, and an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer should be applied.

2. Corn

Corn can also be planted during the summer solstice, but this crop has very high requirements for the soil. It is best to plant it in loose, breathable, organic-rich soil, with yellow loam being the best. It must also be deeply plowed and fertilized before planting.

3. Lettuce

Lettuce can be planted at the summer solstice, but it is not very heat-resistant. The most suitable growth temperature is 15-20℃. It likes cool climates and has relatively high requirements for nutrients. Add an appropriate amount of decomposed organic fertilizer to the soil before planting.
