Green leafy vegetables usually need a lot of water to grow. With the ample rainfall and humid climate, the monsoon season is an ideal time to grow leafy greens. If you are planning to plant vegetables in your home garden, here are the green leafy vegetables that will thrive in this weather.
Palak, or spinach, thrives in a lot of moisture. To get your hands on a rich source of iron, vitamins, and minerals, plant palak in monsoons.
Be it for a dry sabzi or a curry, methi or fenugreek is a staple in Indian kitchens that can be grown in your home garden.
Chaulai, or amaranth, is a versatile green leafy vegetable that is rich in protein, iron, and calcium.
Mustard green or sarson is a popular choice to make saag, especially during rather chilly weather.
Coriander, aka dhania, is the go-to garnish for Indian dishes. Instead of buying it from a grocery store, you can have it in your kitchen garden.
Poi, or Malabar spinach, is a climbing vine that thrives in the humid weather and is often used in soups, stews, and stir-fries.
