Winter Vegetables For your garden!

 

1. Cabbage

Cabbage belongs to Brassicaceae family and is a winter vegetable that is quite easy to grow. You can even grow cabbages in pot. I prefer growing cabbages by purchasing healthy baby seedlings from the nearest nursery.
 
They can be grown from mid July to October in tropical countries like India, however if you live in temperate regions that faces chilling cold then prefer growing this vegetable in spring season.
 
If you want to grow from seeds then direct seeding is preferred, growing pot can be medium to large size with at least 3 to 4 drainage holes.
 
Do not get confused in selecting earthen, cemented or plastic pots, any of them can show good results for this vegetable crop. Many gardeners also love to grow this vegetable in medium to large sized growing bags.

4. Coriander

I know, most of you have seen everywhere that growing coriander plant is very easy but when you tried then you failed most of the time. This common mistake is due to growing coriander in unfavourable conditions.
 
Native coriander varieties grows mainly in winter season in tropical countries like India, however few hybrid varieties can grow anytime. But these hybrid varieties are available in online stores or plant nurseries.
 
When you purchase any variety seeds of coriander then always check the sowing time of that variety. If you will sow your seeds in the wrong time then the crop will fail after sometime.
 
I will suggest you to purchase high quality and disease resistant seeds from the nearest plant store. You can start sowing coriander seeds from October to November in tropical countries. 
 
You can select similar growing pots that are mentioned for growing spinach. Other important points are also necessary such as watering, sunlight requirement, fertilizer, pest management.

5. Eggplant or Brinjal

Eggplant or brinjal can also be grown as a winter vegetable. I have recently grown hybrid variety of eggplant in my terrace garden and it has started flowering. Soon the fruits will appear and I will share pictures on Agriculture Review’s Facebook page.
 
Growing eggplants is also easy, although you need to take care of pest especially. Eggplants are prone to pest attacks. I have mainly faced beetle attacks on my eggplants. But to counter them is easy if you take good care of your plants.
 
Apart from this factor, seed quality, growing pot size, drainage, watering, fertilizers, sunlight exposure controls the growth of a plant. If you know about them then it becomes a very easy job to grow them.
 
For raising winter crop you can sow them from September to early November in tropical countries like India. If you are not comfortable with sowing seeds then you can transplant them directly in the soil.
